Thanks, guys.

Now to hope that any ideas for scenes/events that contribute to the transformations aren't too similar...

ETA: Going by a clip I'm watching, the Fifth Doctor was kind of cute. XD

I think I'm going to eat some foods...mildly hungry. Cereal sounds like a wonderful thing. Then more outlining, followed by...ah, more outlining.

yeah... got a whole bunch done actually... the Franklin Institute and Laura's confession, all detail outlined. Now only the arrest/restraining orders, "Twin Prank", Jul in the hospital/surgery, St Patricks Day, car bomb, police officer murder, Laura discovering the affair, Laura beating up Chris, and the Easter massicar to go before i'm finished! I can so do that before the end of the month

I don't think I remember where 7 started and ended, since I read like...4 or 5 through the end in a few hours.

ETA: 1 outline down, 1 to go!

I want more Corwin and Emil, woman. And togetherness.

Also, I've been watching Glee. I hate Rachel, can't stand Santana, and I'm irritated by Finn, Puck and Kurt. That last one makes me sad since I usually get pretty attached to the gay characters.

I wish I could do that, but I'm so into it I have to focus and if I get an idea or something I have to pause it.

I've been a multi-tasking master for a looooong time now, so I can do between 2-6 things at once. It's kind of awesome.

It depends on what I'm doing and watching on the multitasking front. Is that weird?

They all, for the most part, improve around the Valentine's day episode.

Then again, Klaine and Brittana are showing up soon. Also... wait, can't say that yet.
