Okay, so I'm not doing well. I'm not going to be homeless this month, but that's the best I can say. I have less than $25 in the bank, no credit cards, and I desperately need money for food (estimated about $250), gas ($40), meds ($80), and last month's phone bill ($80), so that I can go back to work in a week and get a paycheck in early September. My Paypal is detectivekraken@gmail.com and my Ko-fi (functionally a third-party PayPal donate button) is JusticeTurtle. If you can donate anything at all or share this around anywhere, it would be greatly appreciated.

I'll be honest, I'm terrified. I haven't been eating barely at all to save money, and I need to be functional at work in order to eventually get a paycheck.

Meme from thisbluespirit: List the first lines of your last 20 stories (if you have less than 20, just list them all!). See if there are any patterns. Choose your favourite opening line.

Hm. Older to newer, or newer to older? Newer to older, I guess. These are all X-Wing fics, because that's what I write now.

Patterns... I tend to start with either something short and snappy or something that sets the whole scene in a sentence. As far as favorites, I think "There were people in his bed" is still my own favorite.

What I've been doing lately is mostly reading through Star Wars Legends in publication order. I've gotten to 1998, and I only have a couple more trilogies to go before the Yuuzhan Vong War / New Jedi Order (which is a spectacular 19 books long), so here are some quick notes of what I think so far.

1: are there any fics that you wanted to leave multiple kudos for, and were disappointed when you could only leave one? -- Oh yes, lots. Pretty much most fics I reread, and most multi-chapter fics.

2: coffeeshop AU or soulmate AU? -- Um. I'm not really that into either one? I've written a coffeeshop AU and I don't think I've written a soulmate AU, though.

So most of my reading list right now is people talking about books they have read recently, which is all well and good. But it happens that I have finally read Ursula Vernon's horror novel, "The Twisted Ones", and I have run into the problem that prevents me from doing bookblogging, which is that I don't know what I think of it. And then I read "The White People", the 1904 horror story it's inspired by, and I went "Huh. ... I don't get it." And then I read "The Twisted Ones" again just in case, and I still was not scared by it, even though a great many people on Twitter apparently found it extremely scary and were saying one should not read it alone or after dark, which is why it took me so long.

So now I'm sort of having mild angst about whether I am just not horrorable due to the autism or something. I mean, I remember "The Pit and the Pendulum" spooking me pretty well, but I was like fifteen and very sensitive. (Jesus, that's more than half my life ago.)

I mean, I don't know why this is bugging me. It's not like I *want* to be scared out of my skin. I usually avoid horror-genre stuff for that reason. I used to have terrible crippling nightmares where I couldn't get out of bed afterward till someone else turned the light on for me, and there is no one to turn the lights on now. But I feel like I'm not getting what I'm supposed to be getting out of it, like doing an assigned reading in English class where you just don't have the key to understand what's going on.

It is 1:30am. I have been trying to fall asleep for three hours to no avail. I am very irritated. I desperately need to get to work in the morning so I can have a hope in Hades of making the rent. If I could just sit up and cross stitch till I fell asleep or something, I'd be less annoyed, but if I do that I'll definitely be too sleepy to work. Which I might be anyway. Blargl.

Memed from mara and others. Cut for probable rambling and longth.

*flops* Here we fucking go again, I guess.

Something's majorly wrong with me. I've been sleeping fourteen to twenty hours a day. I've missed work for a week, and I'm not feeling any better. It's not depression; my mind is relatively clear, in fact I'm going a little stir-crazy from being unable to do anything. My CPAP machine is working fine. It might be a virus, or a nervous breakdown, or a sudden onset of chronic fatigue syndrome (god, it better not be, I'll die).

Right now, I'm in that unenviable position where I can choose between paying the rent or affording food and medication. So I'm asking for help. A-fucking-gain. :P

I figure I need at least $300 to make it through the next month. That's assuming I only miss one full paycheck. If I miss more... well, we'll just have to fucking see, won't we. ;P

My Paypal is ethanrabbits@gmail.com , my Ko-fi (basically a third-party Paypal donate button, for the unfamiliar) is http://ko-fi.com/justiceturtle , and if you want to contribute more regularly to my Patreon that's http://patreon.com/justiceturtle .

Now I'm gonna go pass the fuck out again. Took me long enough to have the energy to even make this post. If you do anything religious, prayers / candles / good energy are also much appreciated. Signal boosting too. I just want this bloody thing to be over with and get back to my damn job already.

All finished! *flops down* Dear lord, we're badass. 15k+ words in two days, and it only required very minimal beta tweaking. (And several dozen freeform tags just for all the kinks we covered. XD)
