how can a day off be so irritating

I'm trying to book the flight with mom's help (she used to do this for a business she worked for and likes it) Found a company Travel One, relatively cheap but I had to change airlines. All I wanted to do was find out if they would book thru my luggage because you're not always guaranteed that. Over 45 min on hold I get Alton, some ding dong in an Indian call center. We were actually yelling at each other by the end. ALL I wanted to know was would they book my luggage thru but foolishly i never got the flight # from mom. we had to look it up. He kept saying it didn't exist. I kept saying it did then every time I'd repeat the flight's airlines and stop overs he would says You NEVER told me that. Oh bullshit.

Then he said You told me American Airline. Buddy, no I didn't. US Air to Alaskan air. 'I repeated it to you 13 times.' No, you never ONCE mentioned an airline and does it matter? I told you which ones it was. He finds it like 5 seconds after that. But later we find out these people have nearly two hundred dollars in surcharges. Bite me. I can book it direct for less than that but it's more work. Fie. So no, no tickets.

Also I had to go get a book from the library, saw the new price of gas, nearly fainted at the wheel then hit wal-mart which was as expensive if not more so than Krogers so didn't buy hardly anything I had intented to Also they didn't even HAVE the products.

Came home cleaned all afternoon. It looks like I haven't even touched the living room. That should say something.

Surprise surprise it rained all day and it was COLD. It was March out there. I'm not sure anyone, not even me, likes cold AND damp.

Sugar is sky high, probably all the frigging stress (on a day off none the less)

I have to give two finals tomorrow. hold me.


But there IS good news. I got another Vgift story from seatbeltdrivein. It's historical Hohenheim. It's very good and darkly amusing. Go read and enjoy.


Also watch me turn into a 12 year old. I was looking through a series of book reviews and came across something that was obviously lost in translation. It's a series of Swedish mysteries (Nordic mysteries are becoming hot stuff) but the detective's name is Harry Hole. I'm sorry, it's probably NOT pronounced Hole in Sweden but OMG, I turned into a giggling adolescent

Fan Fic and Original Fic

origfic_bingo is having it's May sign up post. Nothing like having some good prompts and a challenge to meet to get your original fiction flowing.

And fantas_magoria is up to the episodes Fool for Love & Darla two of my favorite episodes. So I thought I'd repost here what I posted there.

I admit it, they were always my favorite to write. I have nothing new for this but I DO have a ton of stories spawned out of Fool for Love & Darla. These all go to FFN. I have more that would fit that are NC-17 but I need to find and upload those to AO3 since my website is no more. I may or may not have time for that but this should be plenty enough.

In the interest of time and space, I'm just giving you the links (i.e the titles), the pairings and rough time period. I tried to put them in some sort of progression but they are not interrelated other than being Fanged Four. Enjoy.
