Impending Rants

adi_blackBeware incoming complaints and stuff. Well just one main complaint/rant/angering thing, the rest is just what's been happening lately and rambling about my story ideas.
My biggest complaint is about friggin' facebook. I. HATE. TIMELINE. Point blank it's just the most retarded, useless, headache-inducing 'improvement'(note: heavy sarcasm) I have been subjected to. Literally. It gives me a headache. I can tell I'm pretty freakin' pissed because I only get this type of pain when I'm angry. I don't understand why they can't keep doing like they have been since they introduced the fuckin' thing and have the people who want it change and the people who don't can leave it alone. It makes absolutely no sense, I don't want old posts dredged up for people to look at, I want my posts in some semblance of order, not layered left and right like a demented card shuffler.
The reason I brought this up was I went on today and my profile had changed itself. It still looks like it used to to my friends, but to me it's like 'introducing me' to the 'new features' and crap. Unfortunately it also tells me that the change is no longer optional starting on the 27th. Enter rage headache. It may be a case of 'complaining about things you don't pay for' but honestly without it's users facebook wouldn't exist at all and they want to go piss off a bunch of people anyway? I know I could technically quit but that's how I keep in contact with, or at least see how people I know who don't live near me any more are doing.
Anyway I guess it's useless complaining and I'll start getting repetitive pretty soon, so other things in my life.
I started reading the Sherlock Holmes stories(only the ones by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) and borrowed a Complete Collections thing from my Grandma's retirement center. I'm about halfway through A Study in Scarlet and keep getting distracted when I start reading. Once I get around to it it probably won't take me too long but I'm easily distracted. It is interesting so far though, so that's good.
Speaking of Grandparents, my Gram(my mom's mom) died on the 10th. We've been expecting it for awhile, she hadn't been able to leave her bed since like October, and I'm glad she's at peace finally. I dunno how exactly that side of the family's doing, but I heard it was pretty crazy for a couple days. Not surprising, considering how that side of the family is(i.e certifiably crazy). I have no idea when the memorial service is going to be, and my Mom doesn't even know. My aunt is supposedly taking care of all that but we'll see. I got all I wanted from her though, all 7 Harry Potter books in hardback, so I'm happy and don't care about any other things I might get(though I'm not counting on it).
I got really, really into Torchwood a week or so ago(at least I think that's when it was). I'd watched it before but rediscovered it on netflix and watched again. I love Jack and Ianto. I'm never watching Children of Earth though, too much sadness. I went through all 54 pages of complete fic on fanfiction.net, that's how into it I was.
I sorta faded out of it though I still need to finish season two I'm almost done. I ended up watching Supernatural instead. I just started season 4. My sister owns it all, and it's on netflix too so I can watch it whenever. I'd been meaning to for a long time, but kept putting it off because of how obsessed she was with it. It is good, though, I'll give it that.
All right, winding down let's talk fanfic.
I haven't started part 3 of the Ghost Gas Debacle(I think I decided that's as good a title as I'll ever come up with) though hopefully when I do get around to it I'll be able to finish it easily. Here's to hoping I didn't just curse myself though. I'm sorta stalled on the HP/DP thing because I started second-guessing my premise and how many people would read it blah blah but I'll get over it. I started writing a Good Omens/Torchwood fic that I had that problem with last night. Some of my friends(and my cousin) reassured me and I had an epiphany that made me feel better, and I'm sure the same thing will happen with my other things. Also last night I sort of started another part, like a tie-in, to that Amnesia/HP story I wrote a bit back. It's looking good so far and I hope I'll finish it and not delete everything like I have to the last few stories I started.
On a separate note I'm starting to take over the power point duties at church. Like announcements, songs, and things like that. It's pretty easy though so that's good.
Anyway, that's been my life in a nutshell lately. Exiting, eh? Not really, at least not in my opinion.
Well, I can't think of anything else, so that must be it.

Date: 2012-02-26 02:46 am (UTC)I guess that's okay for the people who want to actually show everything about them at once, but, personally, I'd feel too shy to have my life on display like that. It's different from choosing what you want to show to whom, and how much, and in what shape or form.
I've only read Study in Scarlet and The Hound of the Baskervilles, and they were okay, I guess. I didn't like them very much because Holmes way of thinking and being annoyed me. XD
I only watched some episodes of Torchwood, and it was pretty cool. I can't remember why I stopped watching.
I never watched Supernatural, and I'm kind of scared to even try because of all the catching up required.
I'm glad you are writing more! If it helps any, don't feel that everything has to be perfect or else it has to be deleted. You can keep the things you don't feel like publishing to yourself for fun!
I am sorry about your Grandmother. :(

Date: 2012-02-26 06:36 am (UTC)Yeah, I still haven't continued reading though xD It was sort of weird getting into it but it started to grow on me after awhile.
I don't remember why I stopped the first time I watched either. Maybe I read something I didn't like and it took awhile for me to accept what happened. I have no idea, I'm glad I got back into it though. :D
There is a lot of episodes of Supernatural, but I get past that by pacing myself. It's not like it's going anywhere and I have to watch it all at once or it'll be Gone Forever, so I just watch when I feel like it. I'll probably stop at season 5 anyway(since that's when it was technically supposed to end anyway before it was too popular and got contracted for another few seasons).
Those are good thoughts to keep in mind, thanks :)
Thank you.
