basildestinyI need to maximize my icon choices. Now that I only have 6 to choose from, I need to make sure they are good choices. Right now they are just the random ones that LJ picked for me when I lost the rest. They aren't bad, but I think I should at the very least scan for better ones. Like maybe get a better WoW one. I love this one of Kira and Tucker. It's taken about 2 weeks after we got him. He's bigger than Kira now, almost by the same proportions that she was bigger than him in this picture.
Well I went for my interview yesterday. The hiring rep wanted to put me in Customer Service. I kept my options open at the time. But now that I think about it, I don't want to work escalations or correct orders. I'd prefer the less stressful side of placing orders for customers. Luckily, that's probably what I'll be doing since I have vacation time right after training. I'm going to get a call back on Monday to see if they have any schedules that fit what I want. I have to be careful that I keep in mind what I want instead of being pushed into a position I'm not nearly as intersted in.
Fanfic. Still reading it. I found one fic that has 36 chapters! I haven't started it. I'm currently reading the second in a trilogy of not so great fics. But now that I've started, I can't put it down. It's not nearly as bad![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bzzinglikeneon's favorite fic that she posted yesterday. lol I just consider it OOC and AU. Errr... Out of Character and Alternate Universe for you non ficers. Like I really have non ficers who read my journal. haha I'll finish it up though because I'm interested in what else happens. Currently Horatio is planning on proposing to Calleigh at DisneyLand. Not World which we all know is closer to Miami than Disney Land. They're on vacation with their 2 year old daughter, Emma, 8 year old neice, Madison, and their nanny, Sheryl, in California. It's a drama fic, well the first one was. This girl always writes the same things. You can rely on what the tradegy is going to be. Calleigh was mentally, phsycially and emotionally abused. And yet some times its not so bad. Sometimes. Mostly when Calleigh is interacting with her daddy. Those are the best. The fact that Horatio never gets her psychological help after her trauma is silly to me. The fact that Calleigh never fought off her abductor and somehow found herself submitting to him is absurd to me. She didn't know she was preggo when he took her so I think she would have been a lot more difficult to handle and might have even done something rash. Who knows. I think the author just likes to put her characters in impossible situations so that later there can be lots of illogical comforting instead of realistic counseling.
Another that I read, an award winning fic, wasn't so bad. It was a lot more in character, especially since there wasn't any character trauma. It involved a neice for Calleigh. And H and Calleigh make a pact, much like in My Best Friend's wedding. Thankfully, the author never mentions the movie so I don't have to think what a silly plot. I just didn't think that H and Calleigh would be shacking up so quickly. They become engaged within 2 days of their first date. Their first date is a result of the marriage pact they made. Their marriage pact was kind of a joke, the result of a bottle of wine, and hidden feelings, of course. So after they become engaged, they shack up together for a whole year planning the wedding. I just don't see that as Horatio. Not that I can't imagine H living with his girlfriend or fiancee. Sure, he would do it, though if I ever write him, it won't happen. ;D I'm just saying why not move the wedding up? Have a civil service like when he married Marisol. Then the big thing a later or whatever! Often, I find myself enjoying parts of the story and then rewriting what I don't like.
I'm an incredibly impatient author. I don't like writing the boring place setting. I'm no good at creating original characters. I really think I need to join some kind of fic writing community and churn out some stories as practice until I feel they are even worth posting. But we'll see.
More realisitically, it's probably because I'm an RPer. And I need to have the characters fully in my mind. Evan Rosier has left an empty expanse up there. I don't think he even cleaned up before he left so the place must be really uninviting for newcomers. I also think I'm a bit creeped out at the idea of having a David Caruso character in my mind. I double, triple heart Horatio. I think David Caruso is scummity scum! I cannot stand him. He's creepy. But it makes it difficult to say "Alright, H in, DC stay away."
Too bad the plot bunnies are multiplying. I just need some characters. Sigh sigh sigh.
Alright, enough emoness. ;D
Oh and thanksbzzinglikeneon, Beck's Lost Cause is a GREAT fic inspiration! I love it. And have you to thank for the song.
You could be happy and I won't know.
