Insanity of the ficcish kind

flyakateSo, I signed up for NaNoWriMo (oh lord, oh and if you are doing it to, be my writing buddy!) and then today upped the writing anty even further by signing up for Yuletide. At least they're not at the same time?
I've decided (and thank you for voting!) that I am going to use NaNo to work on BenCharlieMattWillSam (which has a kind of clunky title that might get killed off, here's hoping) and, along the way perhaps put together some Elementary!verse stories (it's about time for report cards, you know... I also had this great mental image of John and Rodney at the library, John merrily wandering around muttering to himself about the Dewey decimal system). It's a little bit cheating because I'm starting with an already begun story and I already had about 2,000 words that I'd put in my word count if I think it'd make me feel like even more of a cheater.
I have achieved a whole lot of furniture in my room, today I should perhaps start sorting through the random bits of crap that I've accumulated on my desk (because it's too small to figure out where else it should go). Also, hook up the printer.
In other news, have been listening to My Chemical Romance's The Black Parade basically on repeat in my car on the way to and from work. It is so good. So good, and lovely to sing along to and I lovelovelove how the slower songs are spaced around those that really rock out and "The Sharpest Lives" leads to "Welcome to the Black Parade" and time signatures are just on crack and awesome.
It is very rainy today, and prompted me to go look for "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day" but no online video helped me out. Except for giving me "Heffalumps and Woozles" which I mostly find disturbing and way too similar to the "Pink Elephants on Parade" scene from Dumbo (which scared the heck out of me at like age 6). So, sadness.
Clearly means it is time for some Criminal Minds (oh, Special Agent Morgan is so pretty, and I feel like Reid would get along with Zach from Bones in an amusingly awkward way. Now there's a fic worth writing. Any good Bones/CM crossovers, guys? There has to be.) and a snack.
Enjoy your Mondays, everyone!

Not that I am one to talk, since I still haven't written my carrel!fic that you made cover art for and everything. I think I have a page and a half somewhere. I keep getting distracted by other shiny things. *is a fic magpie*
But also looking forward to seeing your original scribblings!
no online video helped me out
That's because Disney is evil and proprietary and stuff. (They wouldn't even let Jasper Fforde use Eeyore in a Thursday Next book!) But yeah, heffalumps, woozles, and pink elephants were rather unsettling/traumatic as a kid, and definitely still are. I always fast-forwarded those parts. You know, back when you could fast forward. It's harder on DVDs.

Silly Disney. Don't they know that we crazy kids thrive on the internet? Yup, don't think I've watched Dumbo since then, because of the trauma (that and "Baby Mine" always made me cry *sniffle*)...
