I keep wanting to write Clint/Natasha or a Natasha/Steve or a Clint/Natasha/Steve fic, but I have absolutely no ideas. I'm just kind of tired of writing dudes all the time... and I had fun writing the Nastasha chapters in Ironworks, and I'd like to try writing her again. So I guess I'm asking for prompts or ideas or something, if any of you have any...? No? Okay.

Nothing much has really been happening. I'm going to go see Bonner in The Wedding Singer tonight with Rob. My mom was very offended that I didn't ask her to take me because she has today off also, but how was I supposed to know she had off today? I do feel kind of bad, though. I used to hang out with her a lot, but now most of the time I'm with Rob instead. I mean, I'm almost 22 years old and I shouldn't be around my mom all the time, but I still feel guilty about it anyway.

Oh god I'm almost 22 years old and what am I doing with my life oh god *cue breakdown*

Rob's piece of shit car somehow, miraculously, passed inspection, and so he was able to take me to see The Dark Knight Rises (which was GREEEEAAATTTTT), and then back to his new abode. It's a small room he's renting at someone's house, basically. We moved some of his stuff in there. The room smells like smoke and doesn't have a lock. But he gets Internet, cable, and his TV has a slot for VHS tapes.

Seriously, though, I have no idea how his shitty Beetle passed inspection. That thing has, like, at least thirty-five problems.

Been trying to write another Tony/Bruce fanfic but I suck at everything, so it's been slow going. Sometimes it feels more like a chore, and other times I have fun writing it, but mostly it feels like a chore, or something I have to do because I had the idea and I want to make myself keep writing things so I don't fall into another pit of Not Writing For Years.

HUZZAH!

Rob's found a place to live!! It's a boarding house that another one of our co-workers lives in. He's moving in tomorrow.

HURRAY, I DON'T HAVE TO BE THE SADDEST PERSON IN THE WORLD ANYMORE

My boyfriend’s dad just got fired from his job. The house he lives in is owned by the company he used to work for, and they’ve given him a 7-day eviction notice. Is this legal? Isn’t it usually 30 days? 7 days is not nearly enough time to find a place to live and move there, especially when you’ve just been fired. Is there any sort of legal action he can take, or anything he can do at all? Would they have squatters’ rights after the seven days? Please let me know ASAP; this is incredibly urgent. My boyfriend being homeless in a week is not something that can happen.

eta: I was looking stuff up about the eviction notice, and I think it’s actually a notice to quit instead of the official eviction notice.

That means they would have seven days until the actual eviction notice, and after that they would have thirty days to move out.

So, that’s still not good, but it’s a lot better than only having a week to figure things out. I hope this is the case. I don’t know for sure, because I haven’t seen the paper.

eta: So, my boyfriend does have only a week to find somewhere else to live. His dad is unable to fight this eviction because his recent ex-wife has taken all $44,000 out of their bank account, because apparently she is a total cunt. He’ll get that money back eventually, yeah, but not in time. It was part of his contract that he would have seven days to leave if he was fired, and if he just stays in the house he will lose all of his compensation and he will have to pay the property taxes and utilities, which totals to almost $2000 a month.

At worst, Rob is going to have to move in with his mom in North Carolina. We’ll see what happens. I wish there was something I could do. But there isn’t.

He’s trying to find an apartment but he doesn’t make a lot of money, and he wants to be relatively close by for his job. He may have found a couple of things but it all depends on whether he can get a roommate.

FRIGGIN' LOVED DAWNGUARD. I played through it as a member of the Dawnguard with my pure mage High Elf Nyena, and mannnn I really loved it. The new locations are so fucking gorgeous and Serana is probably the best follower I've ever used, to be honest, especially because she can't be killed. It's just a shame she's not marriageable. Nyena always seems to fall for people that she can't marry...

Anyway, if you play Skyrim and you haven't gotten this DLC yet, and you own an Xbox, please buy it. It is so worth the twenty bucks.

Now I just gotta go through it all again as a vampire lord with my crazy, murderous, evil character. Gonna be fun times.

I also saw the midnight release of The Amazing Spider-Man in IMAX 3D, and I enjoyed myself. It wasn't OMG THE BEST MOVIE EVAAAAARRRRRRRR but I thought Andrew Garfield was a fantastic Peter Parker, Emma Stone was Emma Stone (i.e. awesome and charming), and the movie was much better than the previous Spider-Man trilogy. I recommend it.

In bad news, though, Rob's dad might be getting fired soon and he might be losing the house because of that. Which means Rob would most likely be moving to North Carolina to live with his mom. THIS WOULD BE A VERY BAD THING IF THAT HAPPENED. I don't want to be in a long distance relationship. But I don't want to break up with Rob, either. :(((((( What will I do if he's not here? who's gonna buy all my stuff for me?

HEY GUYS

I had another depressing post up here last night, but I moved it over to my private journal, 'cause I'm sick of whining at you guys, and I'm sure you're sick of it too.

Thanksgiving was okay. Work was not anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be -- I was sure that they would leave me with a shitload of packaging to do when I got there, but thankfully there was none and I was able to do the set-up quickly, and with time to spare so I could clean. But man, always around the holidays, EVERYONE WANTS CANNOLIS. I don't blame them, 'cause the cannolis we have are actually very good, but goddddd it gets annoying when it's the third person in an hour who wants a whole pound of mini cannolis filled and covered with powdered sugar and sprinkles and ponies and gold.

Rob came to our Thanksgiving because his stepmom who is currently separated from his dad was at his, and he wanted to be away from the awkward... plus this is the first time he's formally met my parents. I'd made apple crisp the day before and he was the only one who had it, lol. Too full. Plus I'm not crazy about apple crisp in general. It's just so... apple-y. Weird thing is, I like raw apples, but I can't have them because of my pollen allergy. So now I have a bunch of extra apples sitting in the fridge and idk what to do with them.

So, yeah, it was alright. How were your Thanksgivings/Thursdays? And I'll try to get around to writing the other two fics that were requested, but I'm not gonna promise anything. I've been finding it so difficult to write anything besides my screenplay...

So, today marks the six month anniversary of me and Rob officially being a Couple. Yay! We're probably not gonna go do anything, since we're both working today and the car's headlight has fallen out so we can't go anywhere, but still. It's been an awesome six months.

Oh, I also went to Comic Con with him on Sunday. We got there early, but unlike last year the free stuff was kind of lame. Maybe it wasn't lame on Friday and Saturday, but it definitely was when we went. Sigh. We spent a couple hours running around the show floor, I got a plushie from Cyanide and Happiness and Rob got a t-shirt so they did a hilarious drawing for us:



It's hanging in front of my bed now. Anyway, yeah, we bought some stuff (I got the plushie, a Spider-Man glass, and a Spider-Girl comic), but not too much because we didn't really plan ahead very well. I only brought $25, unlike last year when I had $200. Then we left around 1:30 after watching the demo for Max Payne 3 because the place was getting waaaaaay too fucking crowded, there were no panels we wanted to see, and we had no more money left to spend.

Next year we're gonna have to try to go all three days and save up more money. BECAUSE WE MISSED THE FUCKING AVENGERS PANEL GOD FUCKING DAMMIT.

So, I got back from my beach vacation this afternoon, and it was just smashing! The motel was pretty decent (at least it had a pool, even though it had no internet), it didn't rain except for some light drizzle, and good times were had, along with good food and CANDY AND ICE CREAM YAY!

It was really cool to go away for a couple of days with a ~~~BOY~~~~! *le gasp* It was quite lovely, actually. We walked the boardwalk a bunch of times, stood on the beach at night, and he helped me win a prize in the arcade. If you follow me on twitter or Tumblr you might have seen that I won 500 tickets on one of the slot machines there, which was fucking awesome and crazy. Although it wasn't quite enough to get anything good, besides a board game or the exact same iPod Nano I already own, so me and Rob played a bunch of Skeeball so I could get a Rorschach bobblehead. Though in retrospect we probably should've just kept doing the slots, since the tickets were worth more points there. Oh well.

Picture of bobblehead under the cut. )

All in all, an excellent trip. Next year we might be going down to Wildwood and get a bunch of people to come with us so we can rent a house for a week or something. I've never been there but Rob says it's awesome.

Vacation plans got changed yet again! Rob's dad said he probably wasn't going to be able to make it up to Massachusetts after all, and since he was our ride we had to think of somewhere else to go. Rob suggested the shore, and I was like, "OMG POINT PLEASANT I HAVEN'T BEEN THERE IN FUCKING FOREVER", so we decided to go there the 7th and 8th of August. I just booked the hotel motel room about an hour ago.

Man, I guess I'm actually an adult now or something. Getting hotel motel rooms by the beach with my boyfriend. Kinda cool.

Yesterday was just One Of Those Days, man.

When I got to work there so much shit I had to do because it was Saturday and there's always a lot of set-up for Sunday. Then, when I was in the middle of setting up the kaiser rolls, I started having a huge sneezing fit -- which is actually not unusual, as this usually happens because of the freezer burn and dough flakes getting inside my nose.

But then it just. Wouldn't. Stop.

I was seriously sneezing about three to five times a minute. It would not let up! Occasionally it would stop for about five minutes and then start up again just as I thought it was over. It was fucking brutal. Not to mention there were tons of customers so I was trying to do the set-up but I was always either being interrupted by snot dribbling down my face or a customer wanting ALL THE THINGS.

So I decided to take my lunch a little earlier than I would have normally just so I could calm down (I figured it was the stress getting to me and making it worse), when I lost my name badge for about the fiftieth time because that stupid thing is always falling off. You need the badge to clock in and out so I was running around trying to find it and then I just went, "Fuck it" and left. Luckily Rob was working at the same time as me and he managed to find it before I got back (in the freezer in between some boxes, wtf?).

So I get back and then everything seems all right. Rob helped me finish the set-up since he didn't have anything else to do. I was still sneezing and everything, and boogers dribbled down my face as I cleaned the floors, but the day was almost over and I had Sunday off so whatever. What else could go wrong?

Well, I was returning the hose in Seafood to Rob (because I was cleaning the cake decorating area and our hose doesn't extend that far), when I slipped violently on the floor Rob had just cleaned and landed painfully on my ass. It would've been funny except I had had such an awful day already and now my butt was really sore, I was dripping wet and smelled like Mr. Clean, and I was still sneezing up a storm.

So I started to cry.

And you know how sometimes you start crying and you just can't stop? Yeah, that was what happened to me. I managed to compose myself for a brief time as we left the store but on the way to his house I was like "I LOVE YOUUUUUU" and started crying again. We got back and he held me for a while as I continued sobbing. I calmed down eventually, then he walked me home and I took some Nyquil and went to sleep and here I am, having woken up at 5 in the morning.

My stuffy nose is over, I think, but I still have a massive headache. Thank God I'm not working today. I probably would've called out if I had been scheduled.

I'm gonna try to write a full entry on this thingy just to see how hard it is.

So me and Rob were originally going to accompany my parents to Boston in August, but after some calculations I decided it would be too expensive to stay in a hotel in the city. Since Rob doesn't have his full license yet I've been trying to find an affordable hotel outside the city that is near a train or something but it's proving to be too annoying.

But! His dad wants to visit his parents who happen to live in Massachusetts, so I think the best thing to do would be stay there. They live near Cape Cod, and I've never been, so I'm kinda excited to go!

Let's just hope it doesn't all go to shit.

Me: Yeah, like I was saying in my Five Nerdy Friends videos... Batman and Iron Man are sort of similar in that they are both rich white boys, whereas Spider-Man is an everyman and thus more relatable --
Rob: *suddenly starts kissing me furiously*
Me: ...You like when I talk about comics, huh?
Rob: Yes.

We said it to each other tonight. And because we're dorks we started with "I'm in lesbians with you". Then we laughed and said it for real.

*happy sigh, floats away*

Aw yeah.

Hey, I haven't written an entry on here in over ten days and I just noticed.

So, what kind of shenanigans have I been getting up to? Not much, just seeing Weird Al Yankovic in concert and -- uh, well, that's pretty much it. And I also now have a boyfriend that can drive! Now I just need to learn how to drive and I'll really be an adult And also other stuff going on with said boyfriend that is too TMI to get into here. *waggles eyebrows*

I tried out that chicken recipe for the dinner party I will be co-hosting with Sophie on the 4th of June, and it is pretty damn tasty! I just have to dry out the chicken with a paper towel so it browns next time... and also find some fresh thyme. Somewhere. And this actually kind of sucks, because I now want to Cook Things! and I can't Cook Things! because I am too poor to buy meat and produce and crap, plus I still need to Bake Things!, so idk man, idk. Not having money to spare sucks. I'm gonna be pretty much forced to get a second job soon because I can't keep this up for very much longer, with my crap pay and crap hours.

Wow, this post got kind of depressing pretty quickly.

Changed my layout just now! Whaddaya think? I'm probably going to change the header at some point but this'll do for the present. I figured it was time for a change; I've been using the same layout for nearly half a year now, I think. And it's pink! Because pink is actually my favorite color. Ssssh, don't tell anybody.

(and of course my header is the fabulous HBIC Peggy Olson. Hi Peggy!)

In other news, tomorrow is gonna be a busy day. Me and Rob are going to free comic book day at our local comic book store, and then it's off to New York to go see Jane Eyre and buy my mom a Mother's Day present. The original plan was to go to the mall and then Montclair, but the stupid theater there isn't playing Jane Eyre anymore (even though they were just a couple days ago, so WTF on that one). So now it's only playing in New York. And I have to see it. I. Have. To. And Rob is sweet and made someone cover his shift at work so he could come with me. *studio audience goes AWWWWWWWWWW*
