my dad is a douche, and other true stories

[thelibraniniquity]

I found out this morning that my dad managed to make my sister cry at work the other day - by ignoring her completely. He was there with our brother, who nodded and waved - and Dad refused to do even that. Needless to say, nobody's impressed and it looks like the three of us are boycotting Father's Day in favour of an afternoon at Mum's. Infinitely less repression - and possibly pie.

I'm still resentful of the fact he managed to make me cry on my last birthday (which we share), just by being his usual clueless, douchey self. Blergh.

Onto more cheerful things.

I signed up for five0bang today as an author *and* artist. SOMEBODY HOLD ME. Got my story possibilities down to two, either a crossover or extended casefic - and I can totally see me writing both regardless of which ends up being submitted for the Big Bang.

In semi-related news, I found out last night that Alex O'Loughlin, who plays McGarrett in Five-0 guested on Criminal Minds a couple of years ago as an unsub. MIND BLOWN. And so going to be rewatching that episode this weekend!

Watched the White Collar season premiere. Iiiiiiiinteresting, though time will tell on the recurring plot they introduced. And I'm slightly bemused that Sara is billed as a regular character now, while Jones is still listed as a guest star. Oh, show.

I haven't written anything in just over a week, following a month of madness, but apparently nobody told the voices in my head about the break. I've got multiple stories in four separate fandoms playing themselves out in my head at the moment - not to mention the vids everytime my mp3 player throws out the appropriate songs.

A bit more bizarrely, I'm writing fic exclusively in present tense at the moment. I don't think I've ever done that before, and I've no idea why it's started now. Is this a phase? Am I going to be stuck in present for the rest of my life? Could be worse, I could be writing in future tense.

Fathers. Ugh.

But on the big bang fron you get no sympathy from me, missy! Serves you right for being insane enough to sign up. All I'm sayin. ;o)

Mum called him an idiot several times today. I thought of other words. It gets to the point where we know he's a douche, and we're fine with the fact he's a douche, because it's not like he's ever been anything but, but then he goes and does something spectacularly douchey and we just go, "Fuck that."

UGH INDEED.

And LOL! I'm not looking for sympathy. I'm just revelling in my insanity :D Also, EPIC CASEFIC.
