and with this long last rush of air, we'll speak our vows in starry whispers

- Apparently today was the last day of filming for Skins series four! ngl, I am ridiculously sad about this. Not as sad as I'll be when the last episode airs - I anticipate many tears, because I'm lame and cry at EVERYTHING - but I love these ridiculous kids, and it makes me sad that they'll no longer be living together in Bristol and doing ridiculous things together. :(((

- In happier news, I'm going to see The Decemberists tomorrow! SO EXCITED. I think it's going to be one of their Hazards of Love shows where they play the whole album through, but I've not actually checked to see if that's the case, heh. Whatever; it's The Decemberists, so it's guaranteed to be awesome.

- Still behind on NaNo, although I've been using Write or Die and that's helping. I can do about 500 words in 10 minutes, so if I use it enough it shouldn't take too long to catch up. I think I've just about planned out the rest of the story as well, so I'm feeling a bit better about it. (I was having serious ~angst about it the other day, but I spared you the emo LJ posts I wanted to make about it.) ETA: just hit 25k! Two days late, but whatever, it feels good to be halfway there. \o/

- Finally caught up with the last two eps of Mad Men and OMG, how awesome was the finale? I seriously cannot wait for series four.

LOL I had SUCH ANGST (typo: SUCK ANGST) about this story, you have no idea. I kind of still do? I need to get over my ~fragile writer's ego~.

LOL I may not be the best person to be telling you to get over your ~fragile writer's ego~. ;) All I can say? Is that it's wonderful, and you should feel good about it. ♥

Thanks, dude, that means a lot. ♥

I’m being completely honest when I say that it’s probably the most in-character stuff I’ve read in the fandom, and for something that’s so on the fly, that’s an amazing feat. I mean, you’ve got EVERYONE, and you manage to capture, not just the way they talk, but their emotional truths, as well. I look forward to each and every one of your updates, regardless of which character you tackle.

Thanks, Jen.

Yay Decemberists! I love that quote - my fave tune from Hazards. I went to the show in Boston this summer - they did one set of Hazards and the second was a variety of great tunes, ending with "Sons and Daughters" which turned into a huge sing along to "Hear all the bombs, they fade away..." Epic. Have fun.

And yay Skins - I'm nervous with excitement!

It's my favourite track from Hazards too! I've seen them live twice before and they were awesome both times, but I think it's going to be extra special to see them do all of Hazards. :D

I'm equal parts excited and terrified about Skins!

I am in complete denial about this because I can't quite get over the fact that we've only got 8 eps left. 8! Of Kaya, and Meg, and Kat, and Lily and *refuses to think about it*

I know! It's going to be over so quickly but I never want it to end. :(
