I'm severely regretting the weekend. I shouldn't have eaten out so
much. Then again, it's just a matter of getting to Friday, if Sallie Mae doesn't try to take money out of my account before I deposit my paycheck. Maybe I'll just get a negative balance. Yeah, that will make my credit history look real good. Speaking of which, no word about loan. I had a budget, but somehow once I blew it by getting my sister a gift, I thought 'what the hey.' I just have to figure what food to bring from home when I work overtime. I ought to save money to move out, considering how the younger kids seem to wake me up at night, making want to live with relatively quieter adults. However, I don't see it happening anytime soon.

It's been a while since I worked overtime, Last time I was answering phones during the tax season and opening stock voting ballots during board elections. The longest I worked overtime was five hours, maybe four. At this point, I've worked about three hours, I want to work 50 hours, but I don't think I will last 11 hours here. I did 10 hours today, anyway.

I become workaholic when I haven't seen people in a while. It's like "Fine, you won't seek attention from me, I'll do something else with my time." Too bad it's a cycle.

Finished Guilty Pleasures, which is easy when you consider it research rather than something that I must read or pleasure reading that only gives me pleasure then I get bored. Working on Biting the Sun. Maybe Naomi, and so many others at home.

Biting the Sun is making me want to design a temporary holographic utopia. In utopian novels, there is always some flaw that brings it tumbling down, but I'd like to take a vacation there.

I'd love to take the LJ slut meme, but there is no entry for 'full on snogging' while there is one for 'made out,' which I consider snogging while fool around. I snogged more than made out.

Miriam: I keep wondering how much naive is she about vampires. I am not sure she is entirely naive about people, and persumes that vampires are people with fangs, just not assuming all or even most of them are stand-up folks. How squeamish is she? How much experience does she have in arguing court cases as opposed to legal research and counseling people to stay out of probate? Some, I imagine. So how does she keep her stuttering under control in the courtroom? How suspectible is she to supernatural powers? How suspectible is she to flattery? It may be in character for her to be skeptical of compliments, willful when it comes to supernatural powers, but ultimately, she is only human.

Wait, would she have had vampires for clients and not know it, since she came in contact with their human servants? Possibly. Tim may have came on his own due to his interest in the painting.

Maybe I could write Caroline Thompson in as a screenwriter who can communicate telepathically with animals. She doesn't like to flaunt it, just because she feels that it would endanger the animals and herself in some way.

Maybe I'll hold off on Sidonie; need more information on UK goth scene and what music is played there ('If I hear one more EBM tune, I'll scream!' vs. 'If I hear one more swirly-girly tune, I'll scream!'). Also I need a credible menace and some canon characters to be able to smack her down once in a while (need to find out what exactly Snape is doing). Need to do Isabel, Jacob, Clodagh and Danny.
