Mom and I went to the casino to lose money and I did that well. Mom won. We also hit Primanti's and I got a second rubber ducky in my duck juice cocktail so yay for that.

I am not ready for work for reasons I don't want to get into publicly and has everything to do with the changes Ohio's Republicans have made with education.

So for my second fannish 50, have bunch of fandom related end of year memes

Book Meme from

teratornis
1: Grab the nearest book.
2: Turn to page 126.
3: The 6th full sentence is your life in 2026.

I only have a couple of physical books in my room right now and the closest one was the knitting pattern book that serves as my mousepad support, so the sentence in question is "Alternatively, work them in a row on a simple background as on design no. 155 (Blue and White Pots) on page 65."

Honestly, if my bad shoulder will un-jank enough that I can knit more in 2026, that's a pretty good omen.

Photograph of a young Asian girl using a manual typewriter in an office and looking very serious as she stares straight into the camera.

She's wearing a shirt and tie and an adult-sized yellow blazer that fits her like a dress, almost as if she has been shrunk. Text, in a typewriter font: Crack Treated Seriously, at Fancake.

I'm svgurl. I'm in my 30s, and have been actively part of fandom on and off since 2007, when I created my LJ. The SV part of my username stands for Smallville, which was my original fandom and I was very mono fandom for years.

My profile is up to date and gives a little background history and the fandoms/ships I'm interested in. I'm focused on 9-1-1/Buddie these days, but I still love MCU, Smallville, Gilmore Girls, and past favorites do come up from time to time.

This is my 5th year participating in the Snowflake Challenge and I really love the way it gives everyone a chance to interact with people that you normally wouldn't. I am not comfortable with just going to someone's journal and talk to them out of the blue, so it's nice that this gives you a chance to do just that. I am looking forward to doing more of that and meet more people on here as well! :)

And it was a long weird one for me. Couldn't sleep until after 3 AM only to have someone call the house at 7 AM (non emergency, OMG) and then my cousins were out here from 11-1. One lives not that far from here but the other was up from NC with his girlfriend.

It was actually a nice visit. Afterward that, it was warm enough to melt the ice and Mom and I escaped the hill. Managed to get to Macy's, picked up a last act shirt and blue jeans (all for under 34$ yay), some St. Germaine's liquor to add to my cocktail collection (am contemplating tossing the bottles all over the place back home, maybe the landlord will think it's such a mess because I drink too much) and then on to homegoods to get a new frying pan and whatever other trouble I could find (this time its name was pfeffernusse, and no I'm not sorry)

Almost blacked out at what the Chinese restaurant had jacked their prices too (we had an old menu)

I didn't get much writing done but I did finish the last of my planned

fandomtrees stories. Now to see if there is anything I can do in the many zero or 1 gift trees.

I got this from

trobadora and

sanguinity, the New Year's Book Prediction Meme

Grab the nearest book.
Turn to page 126
The 6th full sentence is your life in 2026.

I got 'I know he swaggers' from one of the two books and "The next thing I knew I was hit in the side by what felt like a streetcar.'

Hmmm I wouldn't mind meeting a swaggering man but we know which of these I'll get.

And it's music monday 30 weeks of music. This week's prompt is #8 a song from your first concert. I am ashamed to say I can't even remember which WAS my first concert. I think it was this. If not it was very close to being the first.

Watch on YouTube

And finally i have the whole prompt list

Once upon a time, I started making a spreadsheet of plotbunnies. This was a terrible idea because it turns out that I really need plotbunny lists to be tangible. I need to be able to hold my plotbunnies and run my fingers over them and flip pages. This is not a dig at anybody who likes spreadsheets. My brain just likes things analog. So in 2023, I transferred the spreadsheet back into a notebook, awkwardly.

Since I have transcribed the proper 2020 plotbunny notebook into the new 2026 plotbunny notebook, I need to figure out what to do with the 2023 book. It is not complete but definitely has both duplicates and stuff not listed elsewhere. Hunting duplicates is possibly too time-consuming, but we'll see. I may just ignore it for the most part, or just pick a page at a time and go slowly?

Digging through my journal to find a bit more info on the spreadsheet mostly got me entries about getting rid of the spreadsheet, and those entries also were full of general malaise about posting to AO3. So I suppose it was no actual surprise that when, a few months later, the deep malice, bigotry, and incompetence of the OTW exploded, it was easy to just walk away.

No archiving today. Too tired from post-break work + getting back on schedule. Might not get back around to things until Thurs/Fri but that's fine.

(My 'favorite' attempt at organizing some plotbunnies/prompts was back in... 2016 or so? Definitely when I was in school and very busy. Anyway, I was lovingly attaching notes and whatnot into a composition book, and decorating them, and then suddenly realized that no, I'd not written a lick of any of them. But I'd certainly scrapbooked them nicely.

No regrets, looking back! That was the creativity I had at the moment.)

I don't even remember where I picked this up from, but I'm hoping it will help to inspire me because I need to write some more B5 drabbles.

I continue recovering very slowly but at least pretty steadily - and my things are gradually getting out of boxes too. In the meantime, I thought I could probably manage to do the end of year meme, so here it is:

The usual writing meme for the year. (Last year's post is here.)

Every year on the first Sunday in January, my church gives out "Spark Words" to all the people in attendance at service (either in person or on-line). The words are chosen at random and you're asked to use it as a sort of touchstone during the course of the year. In the past, my words were "Trust" (which I nearly threw back in because that's a hard one for me) and "Sunrise" (which I still am not sure what I was supposed to do with that)- there were a couple of others as well, but I don't remember what they were.

This year the word I chose was "Vitality." Merriam-Webster defines it as "lively and animated character" and "power of enduring". Some synonyms are vigorousness, vibrancy, exuberance, liveliness, cheerfulness, and enthusiasm.

So I guess the plan is not to sleepwalk through the next year, but to be enthusiastic in my actions. There might be days when this is as difficult as "trust.

If you had to pick a word, not at random, what would your word be for the year?

Until next time.
With exuberance,
C-
