Goddammit, universe, I know how awesome the Star Trek movie is! I do! Everyone I know has said so! I have never seen an episode of Trek in my life and I still really want to see this movie! This desire was pretty much inescapable!

THIS IS A STUPID TIME TO BE POOR. I was just thinking that maaaaybe I could afford to drop some money on a movie ticket, and then I realised that I have to go and buy a black shirt for the choir concert. Blah.

I am also going to use this space to apologise to anyone to whom I owe writing. I know I have outstanding drabbles. I know I should be working on the heist!AU. I know I have been promising the eyai fic for ages.

It's just -- it's been a rough week so far, and it's been a rocky couple of weeks, and I'm keeping myself out of the murky depths of stress-induced sickness by the skin of my teeth, so my writing muscles and my free time are currently about as shrivelled and pathetic as one another.

I won't whine further; I have people to be my whine-sponges and I love them for it.

I swear to god, I'd send you money for a ticket to go see the movie.

*laughs* Thanks for the sentiment, but that's not necessary, hon, I'm sure I'll see it eventually :) I'm not a Trek fan so I can wait for it to come out on DVD and then persuade my family to rent it or something. I'm just venting about there being a Squee Heard Throughout The World that I can't get in on.

No, I know. :) I'm just saying - it's that good. J hadn't seen a lick of Trek before going to see it, and it made her so, so happy. It's totally worth seeing on the big screen.

My big geek splurge for this year will have to be seeing Watchmen on IMAX!

Do not ever think that any fannish-writing is ever more important than your health and well being. I mean it, missy.

I know. But I feel bad about it. And then I have brief periods like tonight when I actually feel a little like writing but can't get my head together for long enough.

Have some eyai cookies to satisfy both of us! Then I am off to bed.

"Tangerine," Tee says, and holds up two fingers in an experiment; sure enough, the eyai blinks and goes still.

"To be or not to be," she says, her mouth pouting precisely around a deep, Scottish male voice that Robin stole from an ancient recording, "that is the question."

"Ain't it just, darling." Tee gives her a little push and she blinks again before heading back to the blackjack table with an achingly perfect sway of hips. Tee and Robin got tipsy one night and inserted pointlessly complex choc-eggs into the code of the Gallows girls currently being updated, little quirks of non sequitur in response to particular combinations of stimuli.

"He's an Indian Adonis," Julian says, with all the adolescent zeal that can escape past his upbringing.

"He's Pakistani, bitbrain." Steph throws a dense wad of code to his screen and Julian winces. "Syntax beta, if you please."

Julian is maybe my favourite character ever.

AHHHHH. HE INSERTED EASTER EGGS INTO EYAI CODE.

I think I'm in love. SO, so, so much love. LOVE.

I'd shout you a ticket ... because I want to go see it as well. And I'm a certified Star Wars geek.

Hahahaha we could sit there saying WHY ARE HIS EARS POINTY?? in loud voices and get slaughtered by the fans.

never apologize for doing what you need to do. i'm surprised you even have time to be on the internet ever. most people i know who do as much as you do only get it all done because they're hopeless with computers and, therefore, are never on them. feel better and good luck. i have faith.

set up a "fahye needs to see star trek" fund. i'm sure everyone would be willing to chip in a dollar. (by the way, just for my curiosity, what are movie ticket prices like in australia? i don't think you can see anything for less than $12 in new york. it's probably why i don't get out very much.)

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Movie tickets are around the $12-$15 mark here, too (though that's in Australian dollars, so cheaper than yours), though if you go on Tuesdays that can drop to $10 or so.

Only going to say that it's far more important to take care of yourself than to worry about the writing, but you know this. Don't get me wrong; I'm delighted it's on your mind, but wouldn't want you to worry about it when you have quite a few other things to do.

Be well. Sleep. Eat. Watch Bones.

[highlyeccentric.livejournal.com]

I want to see Trek and I have no one to see it with!

Goddamn this being in the wrong city thing. Otherwise I would solve your ticket-money problem and my no-company problem in one fell swoop...
