GAAHHHH SAVE ME SOMEONE.

I am writing fanfic again. Of the SPN variety.

And it's been so long. And of course it's spurty and hard. And of course I'm having all the usual writerly awfulness of "omg I suck I'm worst writer ever why am I even trying what is WRONG with me and what is wrong with this what is this everloving crap I am putting on this poor paper digital word document omgwtfbbq".

So yeah, that's awesome. I started writing over Christmas break while on family vacation away from the internet and it was supposed to be this short thing posted by the New Year. I especially wanted to have it done before hiatus was over and it's NOT. It's, like, demanding to be epic, and I'm all frowning at it like, "No, stupid story, you are about the boys gathering Cas's grace in a beer bottle, you are not supposed to be epic, so stop trying to be. Your reach exceeds your grasp and it's not all cool and inspirational, it's just sad and pathetic and sad."

Dash it all.

maychorian: (sleepy mice)
I accidentally stepped on one of my pet mice today. AGH.

I have these three little boys, right, brothers, born after my obsession with SPN started, two brown and one white, so their names are Teenie Deanie, Wee!Sam, and Mini!Cas. Mini!Cas has deformed feet, probably from a birth defect, so he has a little trouble moving around and can't grip and climb the way the others can. He's such a sweetie though, really enjoys being held, bruxes all the time when he gets attention.

I was working in my kitchen and had the three of them on my shoulders, as I sometimes like holding some of my mice while I'm working, and I heard this little thump right before I took a step back and then felt something warm and small under my foot...

And OHNOES, man, I stepped on Mini!Cas. D: D: D:

I don't know how, but he might actually be okay, I'm not sure. There wasn't any blood and he's moving around, so no spinal injuries, and he bruxed a bunch when I picked him up, but he's not moving very much. I don't know, I don't know. Maybe he just needs to rest. But I feel so awful. And there's no way I can afford a vet right now, even if they would be able to help. Mice are so tiny that sometimes there's just nothing you can do.

Poor tiny Castiel. Gah.

I am anxious today. Last night I returned to my apartment from Huntington at about one o'clock, very tired, and there was a note on the door from the management, as there sometimes is. It said that on July 2, a representative from the apartment office and an insurance agent will be "inspecting" all of the apartments.

Immediately my brain is all "WTF, mate? What does that mean? Oh noes, oh noes! My apartment is a horrible mess! It smells like mice and cat hairballs! You can't even get in the hallway closet to look at the central air thingy because of the massive pile of pop cans I keep meaning to recycle! I still have unpacked boxes from moving in last March! OMGWTFBBQIDUNNOWHATTHISMEANSWHATIFIGETKICKEDOUTBECAUSEICAN'TKEEPTHREEROOMSANDABATHROOMREASONABLYCLEAN???!!!!!111!!Eleventy!"

I do believe that my dreams were in all caps.

I woke up much too early and couldn't really sleep, and I am so so tired yet still far too wired to really be sleepy and my work is probably suffering.

No, really, what did this mean? Are they going to be going through all the rooms and checking stuff? I do remember there being something in the lease about an expectation to keep the apartment not exactly a trash heap, and, you know, don't let the pipes freeze, and things like that, but I never paid much attention. I've been there more than a year now and I don't remember this ever happening before. I'm on, like, this sort of stress high, and when I get home I'm going to attack my apartment like a cleaning whirlwind. My pets will think I have gone completely mad, for I will be exactly unlike anything I have ever been before.

I just know, I just KNOW, that my apartment is going to be declared a fire hazard. I wave the white hanky flag of surrender. There is too much to be done and too little time to do it in, and I am far too lazy. In all likelihood, when I get home this evening I'm just going to play Guitar Hero, and think about cleaning, but not actually do it. OMGSODEAD.

My poor mice. What will happen to them when I'm homeless and living on the street? Taffy, I can find a home for, but my mice? Oh poor darlings. OMGSOSCREWEDSCREWEDSCREWED.

Goodness, I don't think I've ever felt quite this panicked before, and all probably over nothing. I mean, it's probably just checking for mold or something, right? Right?

Agh, my life is over.
