| The year in writing |
[Dec. 29th, 2009|08:03 pm] |
Everybody's doing it so I feel pressured to do so as well.
Number of fics: 9
Number of words: 31 411
( The fic. it's here )
Additionally I've written 34 non-fiction articles on various topics. I have 8 fics in progress, 2 of which I was supposed to finish this year, but, uhm, got distracted. And there are about 15 fic ideas I would like to try.
In total I have written 62 138 words, unfortunately, I missed my 2009 goal (which was 80k).
In 2010 I plan to write at least 65k. kthxbye XD |

| He Thinks He's Done a Good Thing |
[Dec. 28th, 2009|09:32 pm] |
Saturday night, I come home from work, exhausted from all the returns and the day after Christmas stuff, and I start blathering on about my day to my family. My mom gestures to the other room, while I'm stretching out the feet I had been standing on all day, and there's Alex. There is Alex just sitting in the dining room looking as if he belonged there.
Not even five minutes before had I called him, choking back tears and forcing a smile into my voice, just to say hi and that I missed him.
For the past month, I've been blue about the fact that I wasn't going to see him until January. Then, when the date was bumped back to February, I cried myself to sleep for a few days straight and every time I saw a happy couple, I'd get choked up.
When I tell Alex this...he laughs. He's giddy and happy and all excited that he's lied to be for the past two months and I had no idea.
When I think about how distraught I've been and how he could have spared me that, given me time to be excited about him coming and find cool things to do around town with him, I cry. I'm crying now because I'm so angry that he lied to me and I'm upset that I didn't know so I could buy tickets to a play (which are all sold out), maybe plan a New Year's party or find something equally cool to attend, or just not hurt inside from missing him. Except, he didn't. He didn't and that means I've done nothing of the sort, which upsets me. I hate drama and he's created two heartwrenching months of anguish and drama in my life.
He thinks he's done a good thing.
I'm so angry.
Walk Away,
Ally
I'm so angry. |

| Merry Christmas! |

Merry Christmas, Everyone!
I worked the day before Christmas and I'm working the day after.
And today? Well, I'm going to go see the new Sherlock Holmes movie because Robert Downey Jr. is an amazing actor to watch on the screen. It doesn't hurt his chances that he is very attractive but let's just all keep in mind he's also very married.
As for work:
I'll learn in the next couple of weeks if I'll be kept or let go. After all, I was only hired as a holiday hire.
After I know, I'll look into changing my domain. To be honest, I've truly outgrown this journal.
Later Gators,
Ally |
