thescarletwoman: (Other // NYC :: City Through Bridge)
Today (and really the past few days) have been very good days.

1. [livejournal.com profile] hp_monthly. It's a monthly Lusty Month of May type thing. I'm helping out with archiving and the like, because I'm insanely anal and love doing those sorts of things. But it's a monthly fic challenge. AND -- if the first theme turns out to be Remus Lupin (like I'm crossing my fingers for), you can use all your LMoM fics over there!

You know you want to join. Doooeeeeit.

2. GOING TO NYC! And I MAY manage two times this summer. Extremely sad to see Sunday in the Park with George is closing at the end of June. Coincidentally, there's a bus trip from Erie to NYC on the closing weekend... and I"m on it. Mom bought me my ticket for a birthday present. Second row, balcony, centre stage. Rock on. Also... I'll be in NYC for 16 hours on the 28th of June. Not really sure what all is going on or what, but if anyone wants to meet up for lunch or something, that'd be aces!

The other NYC trip will be (if I can swing it) in July to see my imaginary boyfriend perform again. Waiting for single tickets to go on sale and hopefully there will still be tickets insanely close to the stage. Ralph... doing an hour of Beckett all by his lonesome. Liam Neeson will also be there performing Eh Joe and Ralph is doing First Love. Please keep your fingers crossed there will still be seats within the first three rows. After seeing him in Faith Healer I refuse to sit farther away than that. The man's an amazing actor, but it's all in the eyes and facial expressions.

I'll stop gushing.

3. Car window still working! Which is good because it's a nice 72° outside! Score.

Your turn! Need to get a vent off your chest? Have something to squee over? *points to comment button* tell me all about it!

Drive by posting. Will be catching up with everything later tonight. My week-long migraine seems to have FINALLY died down. Thank god. I was looking into lobotomizing myself just to get rid of the pain.

Good news though!

I have my car back and I don't have to do anything to the window! \o/ After speaking with our lawyer, he said my best course of action was to file a civil suit. Talked to the judge (who ended up being the wrong district justice to go to, but as my dad and he went to school and I went to school with his son, he was really candid in talking to us). And agreed that suing the dealership would be the best course of action.

Take my car to this glass repair place and they said there was nothing wrong. That the weather stripping had gotten kinked somehow, they fixed it and didn't even charge me for it! Now the window works perfectly, there's no grinding or anything.

I am a happy, happy Lia.

Work is now changing my schedule (oi) but it means more nights by myself which isn't necessarily a bad thing. While I don't trust to be on LJ or the like (at least, not yet *cough*) I can be on google sites. Which means writing. My muse seems to be coming back in FULL force. Not only with bunnies, but with ideas for LMoM (though I'll be getting help from you guys as I want to try 31 different pairings through the month). I know. Ambitious, right?

*squees some more about her baby being fixed!* *\o/*

OMG!

Spring, are you finally here!?

*checks temperature*

65 degrees? PLEASE SAY IT"S SO AND NO MORE SNOW!

*breaks out the flip-flops*

Now all I need is my car window to work properly. *curses the guys at Roth who fucked it up* And yes, they still refuse to pay/fix it properly. Bastards.

And also, from [livejournal.com profile] polarkat's LJ, [livejournal.com profile] risen_one had her baby!

*sigh*

and then there are times I wonder why I even bother writing. I just got a review that made me feel so horrible about myself and my ability to write that I'm nearly in tears.

The one thing I've always prided myself on is characterizations. And how I craft a fic. The last thing I wrote... it wasn't intended on being a ground-breaking piece of fiction. Hell, it was mostly crackish if you'd actually read. There were things I didn't want to go into as an author and wanted to create a humourous atmosphere.

Apparently I fail and suck as a writer.

Joy.

And on top of that, I'm getting royally FUCKED with my car. The window "works" but it's not perfect. But if I want it back to how it should work, *I* have to pay the 350 bucks to do it. Yet, it was broken on THEIR watch. And then I had the general manager of the place tell me that even if someone smashed in my window while it was in their possession, it's my responsibility to replace it. I'm just livid -- and now telling me I suck as a writer isn't helping.

Anyone have any alcohol? Please?
