what a crazy random happenstance

This journal is half personal stuff and half fandom-y things. Friend and unfriend at will - if you'd like me to friend you back just introduce yourself so we can get to know each other. I usually welcome new friends, I just like to trade random comments first. So if we share the same ineterests or have talked before (which can mean I have commented on your fic or you on mine) I will probably friend you back.

My fandom of choice is mostly Klaine at the moment. If that's yours too, TALK TO ME. I don't really have that many like-minded people on my flist yet and I need people who will squee with me over all the adorableness.

I'm still a scifi girl at heart, too, so the occasional post about the random alien will show up here as well.

You're also welcome to come talk to me on tumblr.

So, the one day this week I decide I can show up to work in full-on hippie mode because nothing ever happens during a late shift on Friday is the one day they actually need my help with customers.

No, it was fine. Just me with braided hair wearing a tie-dyed shirt, the most comfortable shoes I own with like giant holes in them, and the shortest, most colourful skirt currently in my possession in a room full of super serious people in suits waving iPads and talking about furniture.

Well. At least they'll probably remember me.

Summary: AU. Kurt had given up hope long ago, just waiting for the day he would finally move to New York, the day he could finally leave behind everything that was Ohio. Of course, Rachel had to pick that very day to introduce him to an 'old friend' of hers.

Okay, people. The last full chapter. It is not the end - there is still an epilogue to follow. But essentially, this is it. I can't quite believe it, because I have been writing this thing forever. But I'll shut up now and get all teary and stuff next post. Thanks to everyone who has been reading and commenting, I love you all.

My tumblr is here, by the way, come over and say hi if you like.

Also, I am so, so sorry about how long it has taken me to write this - let's just say life's a bitch sometimes and leave it at that. I'll do my best to get the next chapter (which is the last one already OMG) out sooner. You may notice that the chapter count has changed from "14" to "14 + epilogue" - so that means two more updates and we're done. Thanks to everyone who's been reading and commenting - it means a lot to me.

Coworker: So. We've had a few weeks with almost 10% double entries. You have to be more careful about that.

Me: Oh crap. When was that?

Coworker: December 2011.

Me: Oh. Well, I've only been working here since February.

Coworker: So?

Me: So I wasn't here in December.

Coworker: ...So?

Me: So, it clearly wasn't me.

Coworker: How do you know?

Me: Because. I. Wasn't. Working. Here. In December.

Coworker: Do you remember who it was?

Me: "..."

Coworker: What?

Me: Yeah, I'm kind of pretending I can't hear anything you say right now.

I think I need a beer now and then maybe something to read.

I just went through my flist and removed a number of journals.

Some of those were inactive journals - if you haven't posted in months, I'm assuming you're not even here anymore.

The rest - well, I guess we've just grown apart. A lot of you were from the good old days of the SGA fandom, and fandom was the only thing we've ever had in common. Since we have all moved on to different fandoms, we didn't really talk anymore either.

I'd like to thank you for the time we have known each other and leave it up to you whether you remove me too or decide to keep me around (which... why would you? But whatever, your choice). I wish you all the fun with your new fandoms and may your ships never sink.

That is all.

I guess I haven't posted here in a while - I've been hanging out over at tumblr. The pretty pictures just kind of draw you in. *sigh* But here, have an actual written update for a change.

I have a new job - have been there for over a month, actually, and not only does it pay better (I can actually live off what I make there, which is a great improvement), but it also doesn't suck. Now, work is just an incovenience distracting me from books and fanfiction, instead of hell every day.

Actually, I finally started buying furniture this weekend - I am now the proud owner of bookshelves. (And yes, I'm still sleeping on the floor. I'm buying a bed next month. Sorry, but I had to buy a home for my books before I worry about my own comfortableness, and YES I AM COMPLETELY SANE. SHUT UP.)

It looks like spring outside - I already spent an entire weekend out on the balcony reading (not this weekend, the weather was shit). So I already had my first (very mild) sunburn of the year.

As far as writing is concerned - yeah, that's not going so well right now. (In case some What Are The Odds reader stumbles across this post - I'm sorry, I'm doing the best I can. It's just that everything I write comes out and complete and utter crap at the moment.)

Have a nice week, everyone. :)

So, this is the beginning of Chapter 13. It's short - the second part will be longer again. I just haven't had the time to get it finished yet, so I asked over on tumblr if you'd prefer the chapter split in two or rather wait for the next update. The unanimous vote was to have it split, so here's part A. I hope you're in the mood for fluff, because that's what this is. As always, so many thanks to everyone who has been reading so far.

Here is the rest of Chapter 12. Two more chapters after this. Chapter 12 has turned out to be the longest one yet - this part alone has as many words as some of the previous chapters. So many thanks to everyone who has been reading. I love you all.

I also have a tumblr, and I'm always looking for people to talk to over there, if you're interested.

So. Twelve B. Here it is. And chapter Twelve isn't even over yet, there is going to be one more part that's just not quite finished yet. Work and life have been distracting me, so I decided to rather give you this chapter in (still not too small) doses. It's going to end up being the longest chapter yet (once I post the last part of it). Anyway, thanks to everyone who has been reading. I love you all and your comments make me very happy. :)

Leave a ship here that I know, any ship (canon or AU, rp, realized or unrealized), and I will tell you my opinion on:

who is the big spoon/little spoon
what is their favorite non-sexual activity
who uses all the hot water in the morning
what they order from take out
what is the most trivial thing they fight over
who does most of the cleaning
what has a season pass in their DVR
who controls the netflix queue
who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working
who steals the blankets
who leaves their stuff around
who remembers to buy the milk
who remembers anniversaries


Do this! I need something to do after work today.
