2.19 am - Master Fic List
This is a list of all my fics, in order by fandom, title, and rating. The most recent fic has the word NEW next to it.

0.00 am - New Years Resolutions for 2009
There are two.
One is to learn to play at least a dozen new songs on the piano. One per month or not, I don't care. I just want to learn at least twelve. Trouble is, I don't know which ones. I know I want to learn the rest of 'Will it go 'Round in Circles.' You guys want to offer any suggestions? I think most of you know my skill level and what kinds of things I normally play. I don't want anything too hard (Art Tatum is out of the question, for example), but nothing really easy either. I mostly play stuff like Elton John, Queen, Bruce Hornsby, etc. but occasionally delve into Boomtown Rats and stuff like that. And no classical stuff, because I have zero training. So, any requests?
The other thing I want to do is write significantly more than I did this year. Looking at my fics, I have written 16 of them this year, not including co-authored ones (15 H/W, I think 13 or 14 of which are smut, haha). Those 16 fics total up to 45,242 words. Average length is 2828 words. When you consider all the co-authored fics (including ones that aren't finished yet) and non-fandom stories, I've probably written close to 70,000 or so (that's just a completely wild guess). In 2009 I would like to write at least 20 fics on my own, totaling at least, say... 60-70,000 words. I want to write longer ones, and maybe branch out from smut just a bit. Maybe UST, maybe involve more people than just House and Wilson (not in a sexual sense, but just to be inclusive), maybe go a bit AU or something. Dunno. So I suppose you guys can toss me some plot bunnies and requests for fic, too. :-)
I also would like to try NaNoWriMo-- maybe I'll get that novel finished. I should start outlining and stuff. Problem is, I've already written stuff for it, and that is NOT ALLOWED. Maybe if I just re-write that stuff... I dunno, it's not much, probably less than 20 pages so maybe it doesn't count lol

22.08 pm - This is about me, mmmkay?
1. First Name:
Rory
2. Age:
23
3. Location:
Salt Lake City
4. Occupation:
I drive a paratransit bus
5. Partner?:
Nickypants. About 7 and a half months now.
6. Kids:
Oh in the future.
7. Brothers/Sisters:
one half brother, one step brother, one legal sister (who's actually my step-aunt)
8. Pets:
2 dogs and 3 birds at my parents' house, 2 dogs, a cat, and a tortoise here at Nick's (where I live).
9. List 3-5 biggest things going on in your life right now:
1. Work-- dealing with that obnoxious coworker, mostly, but I do love my job apart from her.
2. Nicksauce-- who makes me happy in all sorts of ways, although we do have our moments
3. Transition-- Like, will I ever have more than 4 chin-hairs? Will my voice ever even out?
4. Bills-- way too many, and I make $8.50 an hour at a not-quite-full-time job.
10. Parents:
Bio parents divorced when I was a baby, found/met bio dad when I was 17 (have met him twice). Adopted by step-dad when I was 9 I think, current parentals are sort of separated (yet living in the same house IDK). Bio dad has a wife also. And then Nick's parents, who are almost my parents (I live in their house, they feed me).
11. Who are some of your closest friends?:
Honestly? Mostly the clients at work. And Julie, my morning ride-along. My other friends who used to be really close with me have too much shit going on in their lives (as do I). And of course, Nick.

20.10 pm - OMG I had an idea. *gasp*
Yeah, I turned my brain on for a few minutes the other day and actually had a thought.
( aren't you excited to find out what? )
12.51 pm - Wanna see me dance?
We put on a production of 'Thriller' at work for the clients, and I was asked to play Michael Jackson since I dressed up as him for Halloween. One of the clients, who's a huge fan, came out and started dancing impromptu, so I just went with it. As it turns out, I'm a much better dancer than I thought I was, haha. We only ran through the whole thing as a group like twice, and had a couple other rehearsals. Soooo yeah. It's pretty awesome. :-)
Tuesday, 17 November, 2009
13.21 pm - And another thing...
Well.
I'm still alive. That's good, I suppose, right?
Okay. Soooo.
Soonish (not sure when) I'm going to be 'officially' moving out of my parents' house. Meaning, I've been living with Nick for over four months now, but I'm gonna bring the rest of my stuff over. I'm gonna have my own room (used for storage, really), and it'll be awesomesauce. My mom wants my bedroom for an office or something, idk. Fine by me. Nick and I are practically married anyhow, haha.
But one thing he did say (and he says random stuff like this all the time and then changes his mind because he's weird like me) is that we need some time apart. Again, he's taken this back by suggesting we go get all my shit. But he said he needs to 'miss me.' Like... He doesn't want to be taking it for granted that I'm always here, I guess is what he meant. So he wanted me to go back home for a week so he'd miss me. Like I said, he's weird. I mean, I guess it makes sense but I don't think we're at that point yet, y'know? I mean, we're still all over each other and can't stand being apart for more than a few hours most days. And I told him that. So yeah. I think it's good, though, that at over 7 months of dating we still act like we've been together for 2 weeks. Only difference now is that, instead of shagging like 12 times a week it's more like 5 or so. But that mostly has to do with us both working ridiculous hours (okay not really but we're both sort of stressed at work and tire easily). lol tmi?
( In other news... Betty (now with illustrations!) )

10.49 am - Work. A rant, and an awesome thing.
So a few months ago, a little while after I started working at my job, I was in a training class. Since I work with people with mental (and frequently physical) disabilities, most of the training has to do with how to properly care for them, treat them with respect, get them out of dangerous situations, or protect yourself if they become a danger to you, etc. These are classes you have to take not only upon employment, but they are also required every year since they're so involved. Also every year, employees are required to read and sign a code of conduct.
So. I was in this class with about... 7 or 8 people, and the instructor was the WAC's (Work Activity Center) behavioural specialist. It's a 4-hour class, and it's long and boring, but whatever. In the class with me was this lady called Betty, who's probably 45 or 50 years old, with curly blond hair, and is dumb as a brick. So we're about 2 hours into the class when Betty's phone rings. She's got it sitting out on the table in front of her, so she reaches for it. Not to silence it, not to answer and tell the person she's in a meeting and she'll call them back. Not even to say to the rest of us 'excuse me, but this is a really important call and I have to take it. I'll be right back, sorry.' then politely step out of the room and take the call.
(tl;dr)
( no. )

23.30 pm - Hamsters.
And gerbils.
I'll try and post a more substantive post sometime in the near future; I've been meaning to write about a few things in particular. Soooo yeah. If I forget, remind me. :-)

13.00 pm - Shoot me.
Having a rough few days at work. Tuesday my boss said he'd made some changes to my route. He'd removed two people and put on three others. Not really a huge deal, having one more person, except that the three of them live in a completely different area of town than the rest, and I have to drop one of them off at yet another place, instead of bringing him to work with the rest.
I had to start doing this new route Wednesday, and I got a bit lost in the first new guy's neighbourhood, but no big deal. Except that with these three new people and an extra stop, I'm not getting done until 10.30 in the morning, and 6.30 in the afternoon. I'm supposed to work 6-10 and then 2-6. I'm getting overtime every day. Which is frowned upon.
Last night I went to bed at 7.30 because I was so tired, and I'm still tired today. Luckily, though, my boss told me that he overloaded me (duh) and is going to re-work my route again so I'm only working 8 hours or less a day. Thank god...
Anyway... Yeah. Back to work... *whine*

11.52 am - I just bought four tickets...
... to the new Michael Jackson movie, 'This is It.' Tickets went on sale today, and it starts 28th Oct. and plays for 2 weeks. So if you're into MJ, jump on it. The website is www.thisisit-movie.com
=D
Not sure who's going but I'm sure I can find 2 or 3 people.
In other news, my legs are getting super hairy, and I'm hungry.
Oh, and I should be writing but instead I found myself reading fmylife.com for like 4 hours last night. Mostly because I'm an idiot.

13.22 pm - Me, and stuffs.
Okay, so here's a video of me singing Pink Floyd's 'Mother' today. Voice is significantly deeper than it was pre-t. *nods* But my higher range is suffering and my falsetto capabilities have been all but obliterated. *cries* I've got a friend who's mastering in music education, though, and he says he knows a voice teacher who can help me out. So we'll see how that goes. Anyhoodle.
And you'll find more, for comparison, ( under here. )

11.46 am - Dilemma?
Okay, here is the pertinant information:
1. My dad wants to quit his job (he is self-employed and would be shutting down his business) by spring of next year.
2. There is a nursing school around here, and I have an interest in nursing. School starts in January.
3. I have a smallish amount of debt (if I play my cards right I should be able to pay it off by the end of the year).
4. I want to have chest surgery next summer if I can, or at the latest by the end of next year. I can afford it if I start saving after I pay off my bills.
5. I will probably need another/new car in about 2 years.
6. I would like a motorcycle asap.
Now. Here's the deal. My dad has offered to keep working for two more years in order to provide me with $100 per week living expenses/spending money. The catch is, I have to 1. quit my job (which he badgered me for years about getting in the first place), 2. qualify for financial aid at the Utah Career College, and 3. go to nursing school for 2 years to get certified (this means actually attending and passing classes). I have to decide before the next semester starts in January.
Sounds good, apart from #'s 4,5,6, and possibly 3 above. I wouldn't be able to save any money. Even though I'm accruing no new debt, $100 a week is barely enough to live on when you consider gas, food, etc.

11.17 am - Big Bang sequel, beta readers, etc.
Yokay.
Working aggressively (ish) on the sequel to my Big Bang fic (starts here), in the hopes that it'll be finished, or at least close to it, ever so slightly before the new season of House starts. I mean, I'd perfer to start posting it (in chapters) a week before, but that's very unlikely to happen. So I'll have to deal. And so will my readers.
Anyhoodle.
Betas who are already serving beta duty:
I know it's been aaaaages since I've sent you anything. And since my mind ain't what it used to be (and might not have ever been), I've sort of... forgotten who I was sending stuff to. I've got all of your email addresses saved in one 'group' so I can still send you all stuff, but if your email address doesn't have your LJ username somewhere in it, I'll probably have no idea who you actually are. So if you could let me know (like 'hey, I'm one of your betas and my email address is 'notthesameasmyljusername @ soupytwist.com' or something). PM me if you'd rather.
Also need to know from you guys if you still actually WANT to be reading and stuff. If not, let me know you'd like to resign and that'll be absolutely fine, although I'd, of course, adore it if you all stayed on.
Betas who haven't been serving duty already, and everyone else:
I know there've been a couple people who said they'd help out, or might be interested in beta reading. Are you still? Please let me know in a similar fashion to the instructions provided above and I'll ship you a packet of writings post-haste (or with some amount of haste anyway). californiaquail, I'm thinking of you specifically, but I think there were a few more.
Basically:
Anyone who's interested in beta reading for my Big Bang sequel, whether you've already been enlisted or not, should please pretty please with a cherry on top pleeeeeeeeasssssseeeeeeeeeee let me know in a comment or PM because I've lost my mind.
Thank you.
