(no subject)

It's been a while (holy shit, a month!) since I last updated, so I guess I should post something. Basically, in RL terms, everything kinda sucks? IDK if people remember that a couple of months ago I was told my job was in danger and I had to reapply for it - well, it turns out that even though everything was looking really positive for a while, they FINALLY stopped stringing me along and told me that I'm being made redundant. So that's, you know, awful. And I'm just in this super unhelpful place where I can't bear to actually think about it or DO anything, so I spend most of my time like, looking at adorable Glee gifs on Tumblr and trying really hard not to panic.

But in at-least-the-internet-exists-to-distract-me-from-my-woes news, at least I'm getting super into fandom again? IDEK, I've just completely become Glee's bitch. I rewatched the whole thing (well, except for A Very Glee Christmas, because that episode makes me want to stab things, and by 'things' I mean 'Artie') and somehow it was less rage-inducing this time around? Maybe I've become awesome at compartmentalising, or maybe I can just forgive a lot for the sake of hot TV lesbians.

I've even started writing fic, although IDK if I'll finish it because I don't think I've really got Santana and Brittany's voices down. We'll see. At least not having a job will leave me with more time to write fic? /silver lining

I'm going to completely selfish in saying that the having more time to write thing is a super super positive silver lining, but jeez the rest of that situation just sucks. Really sorry that everything is shit in society atm.

Re: being Glee's bitch. OMG I can't even. I both love and loathe it, but I feel like the massively awesome femslash fandom it has makes it worth it.

Also, your tumblr url, I would like it :)

Same; I'm really only here for the lesbians. (Story of my fannish life!)

I only JUST made a Tumblr earlier today so there's nothing there at all at the moment; I'm still figuring the whole thing out. Plus I'm terrible at graphics so I don't know if I'll ever really put anything there! Anyway, it's botherd.tumblr.com :)

Oh noooo, I'm so sorry about work! That's horrid! I hope when you get in the right place where you can think about the next step (I would totally have to spend some time in la-la-EVERYTHING-IS-FINE-land too :(( ) that it ends up being a blessing in disguise and you find something better and/or have a whole new idea about the direction of your life ♥

♥ ♥ Thanks, I hope so too! I'm not so sure I'll have any ideas about the direction of my life (omg, it even sounds scary!) but I'm hoping I'll end up doing something that gives me a semi-decent salary, at least. But with work so hard to come by right now, WHO KNOWS. :((

Aww man, that really sucks. I can imagine how stressful it's been, worrying about it. And then to have a horrible outcome, even worse. *hugs*

As for Glee, Britt and Santana have totally become my obsession as well. I mean, I've always loved them, especially in the background when it was just Heather and Naya goofing off and being besties. But now? Holy crap. I'm chomping at the bit to see if they're actually going to legit pair them. And I want a kiss. Like now. lol

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2011-03-28 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
What sucked was that for a while things were looking really positive, so for my boss to suddenly turn around and say the funding fell through was just the worst. *sigh*

That gif is ADORABLE, omg. What's it from? And yes, I can't wait to see where they go with Brittana; the fact that they've started taking it seriously makes me super optimistic. They have to get together EVENTUALLY, right? I'm hoping we'll get some sweet lady kisses by the end of the season.

[identity profile] jeepy91.livejournal.com 2011-03-29 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
Well maybe this is just a door opening when the window slammed shut. In a year or two, when you find something even better, you'll be thankful that you had an out now perhaps.

And the gif is from this little gem of a video. I go back and forth between shipping Brittana and shipping Naya and Heather hardcore. They're kind of one in the same afterall lol

I figure if they didn't have any kind of plan to put them together at some point, they wouldn't have addressed things so seriously. It's one thing to joke about sweet lady kisses. It's something entirely different to have Santana admit to being in love with Brittany. The producers said at Paley fest 2 weeks ago that Santana IS indeed a lesbian, so I don't think there's really any going back now.

I hope so. It's not like I was super happy with my job or anything, it was just a job, so maybe it'll be good to be forced to find something else.

That video is adorable! OMG, I love them.

I saw the Paley fest stuff and it's definitely encouraging. I'm really glad they're going to be exploring Santana on her own, I just hope all roads lead back to Brittana.

Naya in that hat. UNF.

Auch, love. I'm so sorry about your job. That makes me almost as mad as Artie. AND YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW MAD THAT IS.

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2011-03-28 07:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Artie = EVEN WORSE THAN UNEMPLOYMENT.

[identity profile] lazarus-girl.livejournal.com 2011-03-28 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Dude they suck for treating you like that. *HUG*

Though for purely selfish reasons I cannot wait to see you tackle Brittana. I love you work so it'll be made of awesome.

*hugs* It's not really my boss's fault, as she did really want to keep me, but the fucking local council is completely inept at everything and has constantly flip-flopped over this funding that they've now finally decided they're not going to give us. Ugh.

I've actually just been writing a bit more of it, so it might eventually see the light of day! I hope you like it if I do end up finishing it.

I know, the whole climate right now is just dark. I hear you.

I look forward to the fic, whenever it arrives!

Oh, man, I'm so sorry to read about your job situation. I was really hoping that wouldn't happen. Fuck the world economy.

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2011-03-28 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, seriously. But hey, ~we're all in it together~!

[identity profile] violet4120.livejournal.com 2011-03-29 02:03 am (UTC)(link)
That's such a bummer about your job. :(

Isn't it really disconcerting and maybe a little shameful to be, all of a sudden, obsessed with Glee? I blame everything on Naya Rivera, forever. But she's still so hot...

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2011-03-29 06:46 am (UTC)(link)
It really is! I'd actually managed to give up Glee before Christmas, but then Brad Falchuk's tweet about Brittana being on made me start watching again and all the glorious Santana screentime from Silly Love Songs on made me fall for her hard. I blame Naya too for making us all lose our goddamn minds.

That's really rotten news about your job, I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you manage to find something else soon that's appropriately worthy of your awesomeness!

Also, Santana > everything.

[identity profile] botherd.livejournal.com 2011-04-01 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks, I hope so too! I just wish it weren't such an awful time to be looking for a job, sigh.

Seriously, Santana is the greatest. Are you still a few eps behind on Glee? I don't want to spoil you or anything but she starts to get more screentime and it is GLORIOUS.
