Back in the saddle!
After struggling all week, I finally had a good writing morning! I didn't have to resist the urge to go to sleep, I didn't wind up staring blankly at the web for three hours, I actually wrote, managing to write a scene and a half and just over 1500 words. I'm going to see if I can keep the momentum going this afternoon, because there's not going to be a lot of writing time this weekend, I don't think. Definitely not tomorrow, at least.
I went to bed earlier last night and I can't help but wonder if that was part of it. I've been going to bed between midnight and 12:30, and getting up just before my alarm went off at 8. Last night I went to bed just after 11, and woke up at about 7:15 or so. Only about forty-five minutes more sleep, but it seems to have made a big difference. Either that, or the big cry I had while watching Buffy this morning made everything all better.

Okay, remember this poll? I'm not saying I'm changing my vote--I still have too much Xander-love for that--but I watched "Becoming, Part Two" this morning, and damn. I forgot how devastating it is. I'm still watery-eyed. Ironically, I bawled even harder when the little Mutant Enemy guy said, "I need a hug!"
And thus, the tradition of using Sarah McLachlan for "sad Slayer montages" was born.
There needs to be a mood icon for "weepy". ;) Why do we love watching movies and TV that wring us out like this?
I didn't expect this...
You are Eliza Bennett from Pride and
Prejudice! Yay, you! Perhaps the
brightest and best character in all of English
literature, you are intelligent, lively,
lovely-- in short, you are the best of company.
Your only foibles are that you stick with your
first impressions... and your family is quite
intolerable.

I was more amused by the list of possible results than I was by the quiz itself, almost...
