Since I am hiding in my house for the next couple hours/days/weeks/months, does anyone have any fic recs?

Note: I haven't read or written a whole fic since LOST was in it's second season. (2006?)

I'd read Sherlock fics, preferably with Moriarty as a central character.
I'd read most Game of Thrones/A Song of Ice and Fire fics that take place BEFORE the current TV episode or the book A Feast for Crows.
I'd read a Harry Potter fic.
I'd read a Hunger Games fic.
and probably other stuff too.

I've been a little out of the internet world for a while. I went through the very time-consuming event of falling in love, getting engaged, and breaking up all in a matter of months. Everyone is overjoyed that I am no longer engaged. Except me and my ex-fiancee. We are both a wee bit destroyed. (Long story short: he lives far away, is as crazy as me, and moving to Philly was promised then promise-broken.)

I'm trying to keep my head up. But this is pretty much the worst. I have to remind myself that there are other people in the goddamn world.

Okay. I'll go back to my cave now.

Edit: Well, I'm glad we didn't get matching tattoos.

I went to a salon and had my hair dyed yesterday. I feel weird. It's darker than I wanted it to be (darker than the photo looks) and I can't decide if I like it and I feel stressed as heck over something that shouldn't matter so much.
Everyone else likes it.
I'm having an identity crisis I think.

Today I am working 9:30am-4:00pm, taking a plane to Ohio at 6:20pm, and then seeing (my sister) Strawberry Milk's senior art show at Oberlin at MIDNIGHT......then I am taking a plane back at DAWN  to get to work at 9:30am. This ought to be an adventure in exhaustion.

Otherwise, life is a struggle right now. My wonderful King of Hearts (yeah that's what I'm calling him) came to visit for a couple days and it was very very hard to say goodbye. He wants to move here but it wouldn't be for many months. I'm so so so so so saaaaaaaaaaaaaad.

I forgot to give you guys these.

Hello world.
I have been very absent from the LJ community as of late. I miss you guys. I've also been slacking on Three Patch Podcast stuff. I promise that I've only been out of sorts because of good things!

First off, I'm totally in love. I don't even know what to say about this, without becoming a swooning mess. He's fantastic. Um. Yeah. *blushes*

Also I've been really busy. Between work and acting class and babysitting and MOVING INTO MY OWN HOUSE (!!!) , I've been quite overwhelmed. By the way, the housemates are amazing. They are seriously the two coolest chicks I could have the amazing opportunity to live with. The other night, I cooked with one of them and we ended up talking for four hours. They are both really wonderful people.

Yesterday I had one of the best ever girldates with drinkingcocoa and the monkeys. We went to hang up quilts for Cocoa's show and oh my gosh, she is so talented. I snapped a pic of the first quilt I put up:



So beautiful! After that we played and got gelato and watched Princess Mononoke. Seriously, life is weirdly good right now. I'm actually a little freaked out about it. I am not used to things going well and being stable, so I feel somewhat uncomfortable with this happiness. Hopefully I'll be able to accept it soon.

I'm truly, madly, deeply in love with a poet who lives in Connecticut. He is in love with me too. Have I mentioned he lives in Connecticut....
I'm going to visit my dad there next week and we're all going out to dinner. I'm extremely anxious about my dad meeting him. My dad distrusts anyone I trust who is male, because of some bad decisions in the past. I really want them to like each other. My poet is such a wonderful person. He has tattoos and gauged ears. I don't *think* that will bother my dad too much, but I can never tell.
Anyway, I'll be over here swooning.
Any advice on having your partner meet the parents?

Even after a dreary day, I can feel that spring is approaching and I am coming out of my hibernation. I have a lot of goals and projects to get started on, so I made a three month list of goals separated by categories:

-Acting
-Modeling
-Music
-DIY/Crafts
-Education
-Money

I am then writing each category down in my planner weekly, and setting small-scale goals for the week.
(example: "Acting: Learn lines for class, Read 'The Crucible', Prepare for 'Rendezvous' cast meeting")

Anyway, I can't believe I never thought of breaking up goals and setting specific things to do weekly. I am so excited once I see how much I've already started to accomplish.

I'm starting to get together ideas for a fashion and DIY blog. I will put up a link once I get it together.

Just had a wonderful phonecall with madeleinebella . Very motivating. She's also going to send me recipes to help me eat more veg.

Moving out this week! Woah! I have to function like an adult now. *scary* Any advice on moving out to your first house with housemates? (two girls + me)
