mangi fii

i spent all of yesterday sleeping, eating saltines and pastina, and watching buffy and dead poets society. mostly sleeping. and then i slept through the night with no problem. i am a sleeping machine. i must have tuckered my little system out on saturday.

but i have decided that i'm all better today. because, really, that's the only way i'll actually know whether i am. so i'm up and i ate a normal breakfast and drank some coffee and so far so good.

the most likely suggestions for what happened on saturday were food poisoning and overheating. i tend toward the overheating, since rach and i have eaten mostly the same things in recent days and she's fine. i think maybe i hadn't had enough water before my bike ride or something. seems like an extreme reaction but... it's all i got.

as camillafarfalla mentioned, on saturday we took out this henna kit that i've have for 4 years or so and decided to make ourselves some tattoos. i made a carrot on rach's shoulder and a cup of coffee on her wrist. i made an armband of elvish script for camilla and, i must say, it was some fine work. sadly, the tube of henna we used was past its prime and it didn't take well. but i will post a picture of camilla's arm with the henna still on because i am proud of my work. yes.

and now. i need to be crazy productive today (whoops, i had sworn off that word. oh well.). i have made my list of things i must do and now it's time to get to it. i only have today and wednesday (i have a temp job for tomorrow) before the summer is officially over. there's is much to be done. here i go.

ode to a lady

i wish for everyone, at some point in his or her life, a girl (boy, etc.) as wonderful as mine.

being sick this weekend was almost enjoyable (except for the puking) thanks to rachael. she did everything she could on saturday, even rubbed my back soothingly during the aforementioned regurgitation. she made me comfortable, entertained me, calmed me, made me take drugs when i should have but wouldn't have on my own.

on sunday, she bought me bland foods and electrolyte-enhanced water and rented videos for me. she tiptoed around quietly while i dozed for hours on end and came and watched tv with me when i was up for it.

she's the best. i love her. i am so lucky.

2! garden state recs

let go by circusgirl. gen... or large/sam, i guess. rambly in a way reminiscent of the movie. there's not enough mark for my taste but it's a fun look at the day after the end of the movie. thanks to callmesandy for pointing it out.

and there's a beginning of something by antheia. um, that's descriptive, not the title. it's flocked, sorry. mark->large (which is how i'm going to write that from now on) with a great mark voice. if you can read it, do, and poke her til she writes more, please.

i'm working a one day temp job tomorrow. the best thing anyone could do would be to send me mark->large text. seriously, the best thing.

i tried to finish editing the diner!fic tonight but ::sigh:: i don't know what my problem is. i think my betas are just too good. they made so many great suggestions that when i read them, my head spins. i think i need to do this first thing in the morning. my brain is too addled at night.

i did a whole bunch of the things i needed to do today. which makes me happy.
