Dishwalla - Angels and Devils (but only in my head) |
] |
Title: Letterheads
Author: Jocelyn Brant
Pairing: I don't think it really matters. Let's just say, Grissom/HisStreamOfConscience (GHSoC) +Catherine.
Rating: PG, at worst.
Author's Notes: It's a completely different style of writing for me, to be honest. Partially inspired by my lunch break at work earlier today, partially inspired by another fanfiction writer's particular style of writing (L. ... writes Cath/Sara, and Sara/Sofia found on Passion and Perfection), and partially because I couldn't write anything serious. Complete one-shot, but don't read too much into it. I might even go so far as to say it's fluff.
Not betaed.
And FORGET ABOUT THE FINALE. IT DOESN'T APPLY FOR THIS.

I'm not sure what I'm feeling right now, but scared is definitely up there. I was standing at the SkyTrain station on Broadway, waiting for the train that was literally 30 seconds away, if that. And then, out of nowhere, a guy pulls a knife on me.
He stretched the blade up to my throat, and starts yelling at me that I'm a fucking bitch, and that the police won't catch him, and that he can't wait to spray my blood everywhere. I didn't know what to do, I was so afraid to step back, afraid that the slightest move might spook him and he'd ram the knife home. His merry band of 12 year-old girlfriends saved my life though. They were yelling and screaming at him, and one of them jerked me back, while two others pulled him away, and the last one took the weapon. He just kept shouting and screaming, undetered, and I nearly threw up, right then and there.
The girl who jerked me away threw me bodily onto the train, that had since arrived. I stumbled forward, nearly topling on top of two passengers.
My fear and adrenaline have since solidified into a stone, settling somewhere in my lower abdomen, the kidney region. It's painful, and my hands are still shaking. I think I'm in shock, truthfuly, but I still feel ill. I just needed to write this out to prove that I am okay, that I'm not dead, and my blood hasn't been sprayed everywhere, as promised.
I fucking hate this city.

First commercial break.
I step out onto the patio for a smoke with Jon.
"Hey Whoretn-- Aww, they moved away!"
"Awww, that sucks. I'm gonne miss those guys."
Leaning over their home, to inspect the loss.
"It smells like fish, and gross out here."
"That's the poop."
Fire. Lighter. Lit. Look.
"Oh. My. God."
Our pidgeons didn't move.

So, I've been complaining about my username pretty near as long as I've had it. I was in 10th grade when I got it, and Jesus Christ doing a hockey stick, if I don't regret it every single day! What. Was. I. Thinking.
But now, I can change my username and keep everything exactly the same (the reason I hadn't changed it as of yet, because too much work, and I just didn't want to discourage people from adding me as their friend, because I'm uncool as it is, and people don't need any more reasons), for $15 USD! And you can pay either through paypal, or credit card.
Sweet! I have a paypal account!
WRONG
The same reason that I can't get a paid account is the same reason I can't get my name changed! I DON'T HAVE A CREDIT CARD; GOD, DAMMIT!
This is the shittiest shit to take a dump on me. Ever.
It seems a name change is just too far beyond my grasp, as is a paid account. Some day, perhaps.
But not today.

I don't know what I'm feeling right now... I just received a message back from Chelsea Somerville (Re: the beginning of the end... also the beginning of this journal will pretty much give you the break down) on facebook...
It's nothing super-de-duper special. She just said that she hadn't talked to me in a long time, and that she was glad to hear that I was in Vancouver as it seemed to suit me... she updated me, reader's digest style, about what's going on with George Mac...
A part of me plummets just thinking about her... and the weirdest part about this: I thought I was wayyyyyyy over this!
Like two years ago.
I don't want to think that I still have feelings for her, because... I don't think that I do, but it's still... raw, you know? (cue: Uma) I just don't know what I'm feeling, and that's hard to deal with.
On another note, my audition went amazingly well! I'm 99.9% sure I got in. I mean, granted, today was the first portion of auditions, and there are still several days left, but I'm very confident in how well it all seemed to go. The "judges" seemed to respond really well/positively to my respective performances, and while all the other performers before me got instructions intermittenly in order to draw them out a bit more, into the role, I got very little instruction. I had to sing, which I thought I was going to do terribly because my voice has been quite scratchy lately (not sure why), but for some reason it decided that it would help me out today... so glad about that.
Anyway, just wanted to update you all. Thanks for the well-wishes, I owe you one.

Touch Me, Tease Me - A Day Away |
] |
I've got lots to do today, and seemingly not enough time to do it... I have to clean my apartment and do laundry (which I was going to do last night, but ended up being too tired to attempt), and ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) chickentenders is coming over today to help me stage my second monologue.
Some of you might know that I'm applying to get into Cap College's film school. I got accepted last year, but unfortunately couldn't get my funding arranged in order to go (which has been nothing but saddening because apparently the people in the program got to go to the CSI set, and met Jorja Fox... :( /sniff). This year, they've combined the Acting For The Camera one year program, with the Acting For Stage And Screen three year program... I'm crazy stressed about this situation. Tomorrow, I go for the audition (which requires me to do two monologues, an interview, and a group improv deal [which I'll rock -- wasn't the captain of my high school improv team for nothing!]) at 9 am, and it's approximately 3 hours... so by 12, hopefully, I have to get from North Van to Burnaby in about 45 minutes, so that I can get my computer up and online and be ready to take calls by 1 o'clock.
Good. Fucking. Luck.
But once it's done... it's done. I'm incredibly confident that once I get this last monologue staged and blocked appropriately, with Becky's help, of course, I'll be a shoe-in. As it is... I haven't even attempted it yet.
Yeah. True story.
The problem with the monologue is that it's, in a way, a bit nonsensical. The sentence structure is incredbily unique, and narrative, but at the same time the logic perameters have been stretched to the breaking point... it's going to be tough for me to memorise, but I'm going to do my damndest.
I'm really stressing about this.
This is my livelihood, and if it doesn't work out, if I don't get in, I'm moving back to Alberta. I can't afford to live in this city, without a purpose, it's too effing hard. I mean, I guess I could still work at Bell, and do my guiding on the weekends, and that would pay for my upkeep, but still... I came to Vancouver to go to film school. Its film school, or bust, bitches!
Anyway, I'm hoping that I can get in AGAIN, and that all this stressing is going to be worth it.
Wish me luck.

I liked to take this moment to extend my thoughts to the victims' families and survivors of the tragic shooting today at Virginia Tech University.
Such a terrible and horrifying event, that never fails to bring about the question:

So, I'm in Whistler, for work, and lo and behold it's the Telus Ski and Snowboard competition hosted by (duh) Telus, and (not so duh) MTV Canada, LG, and some other hoes. As it is, there is a lot of scrumptious snow boarding girls, none of whom are looking at me. Meh. They'll regret that shit later.
So Jon's ESL school sent the tour company I work for 9 Nigerian students... they were horribly unprepared for this weather (maybe -1, more likely +2). Goes without saying that they don't want to be here, but the guides aren't leaving until 4:30... me? I'm getting my drink on tonight. I'm here with the Brazilians and Swiss until tomorrow. Not only the fact that they are cold, but they're also like 12. Yeah. Not much to do but be cold in a Starbucks, I guess. It's snowing, which fascinated them, now it's just annoying. I feel only slightly bad for them. What did they expect snow/winter to be? Cold. They were not aware, which is partially Jon's fault. He didn't inform them of the proper stuff to wear, or that they would have to bring money as well.
Slightly pissed about that. Anyway, it's fine. They'll be gone by 4:30 to warmer Vancouver, which is still kind of cold. ::eyeroll::
Peace it,
Uni

So last night's episode?
Totally, unequivocally, the greatest episode of this season.
My Lab Rat love in never ending, and this episode only confirmed that. I was a teensy bit disappointed when Mandy went back to work, and was replaced with Wendy. I mean, I love Wendy, but I would have loved to see the two girls gang up on Hodges.
A small, miniscule part of me kinda wanted Hodges and Wendy to hook up... Yeah... like in Grissom's office.
But then of course there was my squee worthy scene with Wendy getting a call from Catherine, and Hodges takes it and is talking, while she's trying desperately to get the phone back, and then when she does is all, "Hey Catherine," all quite and conspiratorial, as she walks away. ajlkfdabfkajdbgla!
I totally am not over my theory about Wendy bein' all about the Willows. That shit is hot, yo.
Also, Sara looked ravishing, but I had to make a few jokes at her expense... gotta keep up appearances, and all that.
Favourite Lines:
"What, are we 12?"
"I don't know... are we?" (Wedges = <3)
"Nick gets a trick roll, and I get a clown who can't take a joke?" (Catherine = sex)
On an unrelated note, I dyed my hair last night. It was the colour I was initially going to go with, but I like this colour too. I dig it. It digs me. We're going to get married. It's kind of a mahogany brown, but it's got a hint of "plum"... don't ask me what that entails. I couldn't care less. It looks hot, that's all I needed.
My split ends, on the other hand, are not. Hair cut time. I have to get a hair cut before my audition anyway, which is just over a week ::nailbiting::, and I want to look my tres best.
I think this hair possessed me, a bit. I came to work, which is where I'm typing from, looking like a girl.
/gasp!
It's all right though; every once in a while I like to return to m' roots, ya feel?
Signing off,
Uni-Bomber Lookn 4 Luv

So, I've written 11 pages of a potentially "on-going" story. I've broken it down into a few smallers parts so far, but I don't know how I feel about it. I don't much fancy the idea of deleting it off my HD, but I don't know where I want to go with it yet. It's a bit... well, it's different from my usual fair. And I'm concerned a bit about characterization, specifically with Sara.
I don't feel I've gone crazy OOC with her, but I'm not sure I've caught her quite yet. Anyway, if anyone wants to read it before I post it (if I choose to post it), I'd love some feedback. Suggestions. Anything really, that might help me capture the track of the story better.
Also, a pidgeon has taken up residence on my balcony. I think it's pregnant, or dying. Maybe both. But it's scary. I don't like birds. I never have. Except for the chicks and ducks we had in grade 4, in Mrs. Angevine's class. Those birds were the shit.

My interview questions from the lovely sidlechick87. Oh, younger girls... when will you learn, Jocelyn ;-)
She had her own rules, relating to one STD or another, but I changed them around to be a bit more appropriate to my particular flist market. Apparently her flist is STI conscious, as we all should be, but I don't see anyone heeding to my warnings.
The Rules:
1. Leave me a comment saying, "Do it to me!"
2. I'll then respond by asking you up to five questions. You will answer them.
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. Your fan girls will squee.
6. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.
7. You will squee.
8. Squee now, just for practice.

Pa-pa-parn! Er-no.
What I mean, actually, is this:
We've also lined up our keynote speaker for 2007. We're not quite ready to drop his name yet but I was told I could give a hint. Honestly all the hints I can think of right now would totally give it away. I'll just say it will be an honor to have him on the bridg-erm-stage.
This is an excerpt from Gabe's news feed from a couple of days ago, about PAX. I'm just reading it now. Could this mean... William Shatner? Patrick Stewart? Or more likely, due to fame-lacking-skills, Scott Bakula?! I would like to say it's Kate Mulgrew, but he did say "him"... and I could be even further off base, and it might not be a captain at all... but who ever it be, it be good.
Unless it's like... Alexander Enberg (Ensign Vorik, the Vulcan you didn't like from Voyager).

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 23.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next three sentences in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.
6. Tag five other people to do the same.
So she was considering, in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.
There was nothing so remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, "Oh dear! Oh Dear! I shall be too late!" (when she though it over afterwards it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but, when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of it's waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed through her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiousity, she ran across the field after it, and was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.
In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.

I can guess that this might spark a bit of ire in everyone, but I have to say... last nights episode was completely boring to me. It could have been done SOO well! The potential was there, but it fell short in so many ways. Yes, Jorja Fox did a relatively good job with what she was given, but I found the episode pointless, and anti-climatic. For me, it was nothing more than a way to excuse Jorja Fox from the show (give Sara an appropriate out) if she doesn't want to renew her contract.
The conclusion was lame. Beyond lame. It could have been such a suspenseful episode, but it fell short, and just didn't evoke anything in me. For a minute or so, I was glued, but it was passing.
Certain scenes demonstrated Jorja Fox's brilliant acting ability, but other scenes I was laughing. I've seen her far worse than this, but quite frankly, considering how much everyone is all, "Jorja did such an amazing job, holy shit, OMG SHKFLAKAKJFKABJLF!" I think they're only pleased with the fact that she got a whole episode, and are kind of negating certain "dramatic" scenes.
Plus, how long does it take to open a fucking door?! And was it such a strenuous job you had to change and wash your face afterwards? She started at night, in jeans and a jacket, and then when she opens the door, she's wearing overalls and has scrubbed her face of the dried blood, and it's mid-day light out! Come on, guys, keep up with continuity! It's been 7 years, you've had plenty of practice.
And I think it's time Jorja hires her own makeup and hair people, because I'm pretty sure that the CBS's people doing it for her now absolutely abhor her. Love Marg; hate her. This episode especially. And don't spout back with, "But she's supposed to be depressed/upset/sad/destroyed!" because this is television land where no matter what you're going through, you'll look good doing it. Example: Marg Helgenber after she went into the water to save her kid in "Lady Heather's Box" --hair was damp, but perfectly placed, makeup was applied to still give her a bit of a haggard look without being ugly. Jorja Fox from last night's episode -- Satan's Nightmare, no matter what scene it was.
I'm not trying to hate on about Jorja, I'll be the first to admit she was the reason I started watching the show back when she was still "Maggie Doyle" to me, but these are points I just wanted to express about this particular episode. She's hot, and I won't lie about it, but last night, I didn't want to hold her while she cried it out, I wanted to have a shower, and wear saran wrap after hanging around her.
And everyone knows Sara is certainly not my favourite character, in fact, I like Jorja inspite of the character of Sara, and I think she is an incredibly talented actress. Let it not be said, however, that I don't respect the character of Sara, because I do.
But last night was just a cop out, and a bad one at that.
