Crotcrank

[gilpin25]

Am so cranky/crotchety I could invent a whole new word for it. Like crotcrank. Actually I rather like that and I have to snap out of this soon because I'm normally the one who snaps other people out of it. Hubby is currently looking at me in a bewildered fashion and offering me the TV remote out of fear.

Anyway I've done the usual cheer-me-up things - wasted ages choosing a new David Tennant icon and then gone for one of the first ones I saw - and sighed over my metamorfic_moon story, which has given me no trouble whatsoever, apart from the fact that it's weird, I'm not in a romantic mood (which is a snag as it's my genre) and I've written 2000 words without a prompt in sight. It also shows every sign of wanting to be an epic, and I really didn't want it to be. So that's crotcranked me off as well.

Right, whinge over. If anyone hasn't seen the R/T picture drumher did, to illustrate one of mrstater's fics, then it's great and I just love the colours, expressions, hair and both sets of feet. The only thing I can draw is horses and they have yet to feature in any R/T story I've done. Now there's an idea... ;)

I think Crotchcrank is when your jeans cut you in two.

I just. don't. even. want. to know.

Hubby has let me play one if his exclusive computer games. I've blasted lots of things, amassed lots of points, and think I've found another good way to waste time!

Does yours play games, too? Mine plays over the network with all his co-workers at lunch, blasting each other and amassing lots of points. He tries to get me to play, but I'm hopelessly uncoordinated at it.

godricgal needs to let you her Top Hat!Thewlis icon for your last jumble fic.

And why do you think everyone's sick of you writing romance?

I did a personal meme and decided. Just call me paranoid. Anyway I've turned it into an adventure fic so it won't matter. ;)

I should have told you your writing tells me you're a very silly lady. ;)

It's too late; I've framed the original one and there will soon be a flashing icon of it, LOL.

Didn't that one say something about you being sensible? I retract, I retract!

Yes, we're playing something very technical where we get bombs and blow up these little squares by incredibly accurate shooting. Or so I'm told. Still it makes him happy and it seems quite therapeutic. I'm also going to try going to sleep and waking up on a different day shortly.

It's nice to find out what he does all day at work... ;)
