Get Off Mah Lawn!!!
Jun. 3rd, 2009 08:33 pmUgh. The Jehovah's Witnesses are after me. Seriously. >.O
I accidentally opened the door to them twice (thinking it was the mail person or UPS with a delivery), and now they will not leave me alone. They come to my house and ring the bell several times before walking away. It doesn't sound too invasive, but multiply it by multiple times a week for the past two or three weeks. And they come at all times of the day, in the hopes of catching me unawares. It's starting to get on my nerves. I hate being rude -- I really do. Chalk it up to having that whole "be nice" thing pounded into my head and my personality by my mom. (Not only as a kid, but she still does it to me, even now that I'm barreling toward middle age.) But, in this instance, I guess I'm going to have to bite the bullet and do it. Just be rude and tell them to leave me alone. It's not like I'm going to invite them into my house. Or convert. Or ... well, anything.
In other news, I'm pooped. I'm not sure if it's the weather or what. I hate the hot, muggy weather we've been having lately. Bleh. I haven't been sleeping well at night, though. The house is too hot, particularly on the third floor, where our bedrooms are. Tonight, I think I'm going to insist on turning the AC down lower. Only about two degrees, but even that small a change can make a difference.
I think I finally got pretty much everything uploaded on my Dreamwidth journal. I decided to use it as a writing journal, so I archived my fanfiction over there. It seemed a good idea to have it somewhere easily accessible, other than my website. I mean, I post it here, too, but it's not really "easy" to find because I use this LJ for everything. Anyhow, I posted the drabbles over there, too. The only things I didn't post were my "Bish Closet Missions", because those are blatant (although kind of fun/funny -- I hope) self-inserts. They are on my website, though. It just didn't feel right to have them on DW, for some odd reason. And, I have one very graphic story that I didn't post there, either. It was on my website briefly, but I decided to take it down. Better to not let it see the light of day -- kind of a shame, because I really liked the story. And I was proud of having written it because it was such a hard topic for me. It's very unusual for me to feel any sort of pride in my writing. *nervous laugh*
I wrote the "ending fic" for the Ground Zero series. I think I probably mentioned that in an earlier LJ post, so I won't bother yakking about it much more here. It's still very rough, but I'll (hopefully) be able to edit it into something once the other GZ stories are done. Here's praying the other GZ-stories actually get done.
And, I'm working on story #3 in that little universe. Slowly working. Maybe I'll get something done on it tomorrow. *crosses fingers*
