watch, learn,

I'm getting down to the wire on all this stuff! It really just hit me now!

So, the last day to do threads is Tuesday. I will be around ALL DAY that day. I am also around ALL DAY today. I'm working tomorrow, will be around tomorrow night, and I'm working Sunday but not sure what shift. I'm extraing on Monday, I so wish it was another day, but it's my last chance to extra for this year and I need the money so it's all cool, whatever. So I'll maybe be around Monday, depends on the times for filming.

And I want to do so much stuff! Though whatever I don't get in can probably easily go in the New Year's party so it's not a huge deal. Still though.

I still need a thread for RJ, so if anyone wants to do anything with him, please let me know!

And I have to write my journals for everyone, and think of Christmas stuff, and New Year's stuff, and get my NL people all ready to go (nts: MAKE JASON ICONS!) EDIT: Turns out I made Jason icons already! Over 80 of them! So I am set on that! Score!

Also in there, RL stuff. Like figuring out what the hell to get my dad for Christmas. Blargh.

And message from Laur W, she's not around til Sunday night!

To-do list for the end of SHS and the start of NL...

-Thread for Grace, Jason, RJ, and Penny

-Journals for each of them (not needed but I want to)

-Figure out if I'm going to write Christmas stuff

-Make icons for Jason for NL

-Possibly do the 100Q for Jason and Brad

-UPDATE RELATIONSHIP PAGES!

That's it, for now, cause I know there's more I'm not thinking of.

Pretty sure Stacey wore this in one of the books...

Ok, trying to plan out threads for now until the end cause I'm hit with all this "omg! not much time left!" thing.

So!

Before I try to figure out certain threads I want to get in, anyone got any they'd like to get in with me?

Tell me that this doesn't sound exactly like a Stacey outfit description from the books...

I was wearing an oversized hot pink and black houndstooth-print shirt, which I wore off-the-shoulder to show the lace strap of the black cami I had on under it. With that, I wore black knee-length leggings, and black ballet flats. I accented this with a pink beaded necklace, and a large white bow in my hair.

This is what I'm wearing next week on One Tree Hill, I'm extraing in a scene that's an 80's party, which will even feature a concert by Cheap Trick. The entire episode is a tribute to John Hughes. I will take all the pictures I can.

Anyone out there know how to convert wma files into an mp3? I'm trying to get my soundtrack songs in the right format. I have them all as downloads through napster, which puts them in wma format. I also have one of the songs on a cd but when I tried to upload from the cd, it made it wma too. I can buy the mp3s of the songs but I was seeing if there was a way that would avoid me having to buy each individual track.

And explain it very well, please, I am an idiot with this stuff.

Edited My computer must hate mp3s. But I got them right, I think!

I am extraing next week on OTH, the scene is an 80s party. I'm getting together wardrobe options right now, I have to bring 3 options by the studio on Friday morning for them to look over. I feel like I'm channeling my inner Claudia and Stacey by putting these together. The best outfit I have totally sounds like a Stacey outfit from the books. I will take a picture once I know what outfit I'm wearing.

Mine is rather boring, but here goes...

1. My username is ______ because ______: lauren711 because my name is Lauren and my birthday is July 11th, aka, 7-11. Woah, deep.

2. My name is _____ because ______: "Drizzle", because that's the coolest name ever

3. My journal is titled ____ because ____: "Watch, learn, and don't eat my cookie", which is a line of Phoebe's on "Friends". No real reason behind it, I just liked the line.

4. My default userpic is ____ because ____: Jim Halpert from "The Office" doing one of his usual smirks at the camera. I need more userpics, I don't use most of the ones I have, and I want other ones. But for now, it's Jim Halpert cause he is the perfect man.

I am on the biggest Hugh Grant kick right now. Watched Love Actually last weekend, now I'm watching Music & Lyrics, and I'll probably watch About A Boy and Notting Hill soon. And he has a new movie coming out that I swear I probably wouldn't care a thing about if it wasn't him in it.

Music & Lyrics also gets to feature Jason Street being all awesome in the music video, and Mr. Shuester from Glee, so that just adds to the awesomeness.

I think I maybe had a point to this post when I first started it but now I don't know what that was.

So, I got People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive issue cause, well, yeah.

And I would like to point out our pbs that appeared in the issue, because it is cracking me up

Trevor
SHS!Bruce
And not just one but two Howies. SHS!Howie and NL!Howie

I think this makes Howie our sexiest guy.

Also, SHS!Bruce, aka Cory Montieth, is profiled in this section on Vegas, they took a picture of him and two other Glee cast members outside of the Flamingo Hotel, and they are asked questions about Vegas, and I only wish that this was NL!Bruce instead because of this part in his interview, when asked to describe the perfect Vegas weekend. Bolding is mine.

"Bring a girl, see a show, have a beautiful dinner. Always avoid the Vegas hookup."

Bruce, you should have taken your high school self's advice.

Because I am just a sheep...

The Five Questions Meme (SHS and NL kiddos!)
1. Ask any of my characters five questions. You can do this either in or out of character.
2. I will answer the questions in character, and then ask one of your characters five questions.
3. Repost this meme with your questions and answers!

(Side note, RJ is kinda dead to me, so if you choose him, I may not end up actually answering for him)

I just searched for all my pbs on Twitter. Haven't found any of them, except for Fake Ben McKenzie and Fake Shane West. I am bored! I need to do stuff!

I will toss up Transitions stuff soon. I feel like I should do more SHS stuff too, but all I keep thinking of is Transitions ideas. So maybe I'll put up a couple of those tomorrow.

I could put up a thread now. But instead I'm sitting here debating on if I want to rewatch Monday's Big Bang Theory or tonight's Glee. It's a tough decision. And I will probably end up just watching both.

I am crazy bored.

And also all blah and stuff cause I have cramps. And mad because the Food Network has changed their Tuesday night schedule.

But mostly, I'm crazy bored.

So, I'm up for anything! Anyone want to do something at Transitions? Anything at all, just say it! I need something to do!

Didn't feel like going into my past characters, cause the only ones I felt like doing were Josh and Sue, and Sue was a lot like Penny is now so it'd be redundant, and then that'd only leave Josh, so I just didn't want to bother. And I didn't feel like doing RJ cause he's already kinda out of sight, out of mind for me, and I'm including Amalia in here. My answers may go back and forth between SHS and NL for the others.

I am watching Thursday night NBC shows.

I am rp'ing (well, I will be once I log out of my IJ and into my characters')

I am drinking a Pepsi.

And I am wearing a leopard-print Snuggie.

Tonight is awesome.

Ok, this is kinda nitpicky, but I'm hoping someone out there can help me.

I want to write a Transitions oneshot for Penny where it's her first flight after she's done with training.

Any of you guys maybe have a friend or something who's a flight attendant or has been one or knows someone who is one or anything who could tell me how long the training lasts? I just need a rough guess, at least, so I know when to set the oneshot for. I'm finding a ton of stuff on what's involved in training and all, but nothing about the length of time. I've put that she's working for Delta, if anyone knows anyone from them specifically. Thanks in advance!

Today I got an email from my uncle with a video of my cousin in his school talent show. My cousin is 12, and he's just awesome. He's this total little geek and he's really into music and theatre and stuff, he's such a Justin in the making, even to where he used to be all crazy-hyper and stuff and now he does theatre. For the talent show, he performed a medley of Michael Jackson songs, complete with the dance moves and everything.

And not that you guys probably care, but in case anyone does, here's the video...

Extraing on OTH again tonight! We're on a plane. Or boarding it. Or something. I just got told that I'm an airplane passenger. I was a flight attendant on OTH twice last season. Too bad I changed careers and was working as a nurse last week, otherwise I could've probably been a flight attendant again. Oh well.

I need to get the ball rolling on my partner projects. Lee and I ended up with three pairings so we've got to get those coordinated. So I just need to figure out when to do Grace/Pete and Jason/Hannah and as far as Brad/Stacey goes... yeah, Stacey's gonna have to track him down, he's not putting forth any effort, so we can figure out when to have that happen.

I am all about Transitions so if anyone wants to do anything there with any of mine, let me know! Especially Amalia, I want to get started on her. I'm trying to decide if it'll be easier to start her by doing a oneshot, or by threading with someone. I'm just about finished with her 100Q also, but I still need to make banners, I capped a movie of hers the other night where she looked a-freaking-dorable. Also, she was kinda paired with Freddy Rodriguez in the movie, who I love, so that upped her adorableness for me just by association.

I'm also working on finishing up Jason's 100Q, and I want to do Brad's all pretty. I've finally finished capping all of "Bones" for Jason, and I love him. It made me want to use John Francis Daley now, espeically because options for Jason's senior picture sucked.

I got all my senior pics and quotes done though! I had fun doing that, I love picking out pictures. Even though all mine are submitted, some of mine will still probably post on Stacey's post with some other options. Penny definitely will. Grace wants to but she doesn't have many other options since Jayma didn't really have photoshoots til Glee, and that's more age-up Grace, so I'll see on hers. I think David will post some of his options, so Mari can swoon. And I might post a couple for Brad, just cause I want to, and for RJ cause even though I pretty much hate him, he has so many pictures.

I think way too hard when I'm picking out outfits for extraing. Usually I'm barely seen. I'm figuring I'll be barely seen here too. But I'm still putting a ton of thought into the outfits. I have on a pink plaid shirt and jeans right now, and I'm figuring out y others.

And I'm watching the news (the one I used to work for) and it's apparantly national diabetes month, Mr. Food (a national cooking segment that they run, "ooo, it's so good") is doing diabetes-friendly recipes, and he's got this former Miss America helping him who's diabetic, and it's just making me imagine Stacey as this diabetic Miss America.

Now to see if IJ actually sends me the replies to this...

A meme:

Pick a character of mine, Amalia included, (but since I suck at knowing songs, you may get a response of "don't know" for your choice) and I will give you the following soundtrack to their life:

1) Love Song (whether unrequited or relationship wise)
2) Sex Song
3) Angry Song
4) Sad Song
5) Theme Song

In other news, I started at my new job today and I really like it.

I'm doing nothing for halloween, and I like that too. I wouldn't mind doing something but since most stuff would cost money and involve crowds, I'm good sitting around the apartment and letting my characters have the halloween fun.

Also, the cast of Glee is going to be doing the national anthem at the World Series game tonight and that's kind of awesome.

I want to make a pretty past/present characters thing for my journal soon. And I'm working on some Transitions stuff to go up soon. I have Grace's breakup oneshot ready to go but I want some other Transitions stuff to go up first since the latest thing up right now is another Grace thread, and I don't want two Graces in a row.

This is just an announcement to say that I love love love love love John Francis Daley as Jason.

I have Netflixed all of season four of Bones and taken my own caps, cause his icon sets kind of suck, and I've made him a ton of banners (even though I have no use for all of them) and I'm working on his icons right now and I love him.

And to add to the love, here's a YouTube clip of him singing with his real-life band on an episode of Bones. The girl dancing with the tambourine is the pb for Jason's girlfriend Avery, cause she's his girlfriend on the show and I like to make things easy like that. Though it was actually fate for it to be her. The actress is Carla Gallo, and before I even watched Bones, I was watching the show Undeclared, which she was on, and I was thinking that she was totally how I was seeing Avery. Then I started watching Bones, and it ended up that she played his girlfriend on the show. I love when things work out all perfect and awesome like that.

ANYWAY! For those who care, here's the video...
