All things 'roidful

I have a fantasy football team! Silly new co-workers thought they could trash talk me during the picks.


Fool Rushing In #1: I just picked up Carson Palmer. My draft is going so well, I'm waiting for you all to call for a do-over.

Opera: When Palmer thinks he's gonna get tackled, he pees himself a little. Sometimes it happens in the car.


Fool Rushing In #2: Bad pick, Rex Grossman is going to lose his job.

Opera: Lovie (Bears coach) wants a Superbowl ring, and what Lovie wants, his bitches bring... besides Urlacher will make sure Rex keeps his job.

FRI#2: Urlacher?

Opera: After the game, he and Rex make-out in the shower.

Cluster of Fools: ... ... ... ....

Opera: *cutesy voice* Urlacher is his muscle bitch.

CoF: Oh no, hell no. Urlacher is no one's muscle bitch! *Various prattle and theories about Rex bottoming/best conversation ever... mmmm Rexslash*




WWE Suspensions. Gloating the 1st. M. Hardy, Carlito, Daivari, assorted other preciouses were absent from the various lists floating about the interwebz. Yayz, they're smart enough to keep their illegal supplement habits hidden!

Semi-gloating the 2nd. Mr. Kennedy. Part of me is quite pleased to see his name, after his holier-than-thou blog a while back. Come-uppance is a bitch. Part of me is bummed,though I liked the guy lots. Back in the day I saw him in indy shows all around here, and I got attached--- seeing an indy guy get better and go big time is awesome, feels a little more organic than regular fangirling. And I like him as a performer; he has the un-namable quality that makes me believe his character is standing before me in the ring, rather than a performer. It's not really the 'roids use thing that has me bummed --- I've resigned myself to the idea that they use all sorts of things they shouldn't-- I'm bummed that Kennedy had to go all politican about it-- railing smugly about the very lifestyle he wallowed in.

Funaki bummed me out too. His name confirmed my worst suspicions, that wrestlers use that crap more to maintain what they have and heal from the daily knocks they take, than to get huge. Worst than the idea of taking supplements to appease Vince's size queen tastes, is knowing that there's a double "benefit" in using the junk.

In happier-for-now news, M.Hardy had gold again. Tag team with MVP. The storyline-- Precious' lot tied to a heel's-- delights me. MVP does not. I hope the precious gets forced into many, many situation where he must do the right thing though he'd rather not.

and in it-better-not-frickin-happen news, they advertised the ME for a houseshow I'm attending, and it's a tag match between 2 faces who I forgot, a heel I forgot (probably Kahli) and MVP. DOES THIS MEAN THERE WILL BE NO M.HARDY AT MY HOUSESHOW? Oh bitter, betrayal.

Steph: Now who's the size 12?!?!?!

Opera: You. *sulks*

Tickermaster: *happily counts fees* hahahahahahahha


New job, nothing 'roidful about it: I am in like flynn. I'm part of the good gossip circles-- the first go-round, nothing diluted. I got schooled on the mean nicknames for the half the staff (I'm so stealing "Crunch -n- Munch" for a novel someday). And I got praised for "owning depreciations processes" so quickly. I have PWNED! on sticky note hanging on my (gag, gag, gag) cube.

That stupid cube bothers me worst than the loss of my sweet, sweet quarterly bonuses.


Edit: Check your damn mail, already! Sheesh.

writing meme found on 'net.

What do you find _______ about writing?

Hardest?

Interesting sentences. On a mechanics level, I struggle with creating beyond SVO, and with controlling long sentences. Clarity, especially with those long sentences, is another aspect I struggle with.

Content-wise, the hardest thing is finding new details, and figuring out interesting ways of spotlighting those details. Writing is never-ending battle against cliche.

Easiest?
Running the spellchecker, looking at pics of M.Hardy in the guise of research.

Most fun?

Auditioning words. I love words, love them best when they have shades of meaning. Finding the perfect word is such a rush.

Most Tedious?

Transitions. Stories require so many, and more often than not the best ones are sort of bland, utilitarian phrases. I'm sure it's me giving up too early and not striving for more interesting ways to word them.

Coolest?

Playing with my imagination. Surprizing myself when I come up with an ultra cool idea or an amazing word choice.

Least cool? The way I allow my writing and my productivity to affect my self-confidence.

Best? Completing a good story. All the heartache and doubts are so worth having a piece of writing that brings pride.

Worst? The 99% of my writing that isn't good. That wretched stuff just sits there smugly reminding me that I'm barely out of the suck category.
