Things to be happy about:
1) Spent time on the phone with a friend I hadn't talked to in forever last night. Both of us have apparently been hit by Overdue Syndrome*, and talked each other's ear off for over an hour.
2) At least two people found
silvormoon's underrated PR fic The Fifth Wheel via my Recs page and reviewed it. :)
3) Gamine wrote PotC fanfic! Whee!
4) Gunn in Armani on Angel last night. Have it on tape and can drool again and again. :)
5) Broke a new record this morning - woke up at 6, and still managed to be dressed and at work at 6:45. With no near-accidents or speed-demoning (breathe, Mom).
6) I'm apparently (in)famous at work as "the 3rd floor walker." Even people who don't know my name have stopped me in the Wal-Mart and asked me if I work in my office because of this.
7) It's still nice enough outside to do my 15 minute walk out around the campus since construction's made it hard to use the 3rd floor.
8) I just found out
irenak is on LJ! Despite the LJ name being patently obvious.
9) And she wrote John Doe fic! I need to go read it!
*Overdue Syndrome: The state of putting off something (usually contacting a friend) for a while, remembering, wondering if you really should since it's been so long and they might not want to hear from you out of the blue and think it's because you just want to relieve your guilt, forgetting about it for a while and repeating the cycle a while later. Usually can be broken by a moment of stubbornness. Named for the Shel Silverstein poem "Overdue", in which the speaker agonizes again about a 24-year overdue library book ("I know it's not mine / But I can't pay the fine ... Should I turn it in / Or hide it again?").**
**Yes, I did just invent this term, as far as I know. :)
