The Legion, otherwise known as Keeping the voices at bay....

Highlight of the Day - not going insane.

Legion: You'd be nothing without me.
Me: And what's that supposed to mean?
Legion: Exactly what it sounds like. Without me around you wouldn't have enough talent to write a grocery list.
Me: Now that's hardly fair.
Legion: But it's true. Having teeth pulled is more pleasant than reading some of the stuff you write without me.
Me: Ok, that was kind of a childish thing to say. And definitely not true. I can write without you. You just don't like it when I do cause you feel like you're not needed.
Legion: Not needed? hmph. If I wasn't needed I wouldn't be in your mind in the first place. Now would I?

Point taken. Ouch, but did you have to be so harsh about it. Teeth pulled indeed. Not very nice. Not that I expect you to be. After all we are talking about what amounts to a figment of my over-active imagination.

So other than having imaginary conversations with a figment of my imagination, I am relatively sane. Really I am. Despite the inane ramblings of my inner legion of hell-spawn intent on driving me to the brink of sanity, I have had a good day. So far. I'm taking it easy today as I woke up feeling as if I'd been hit by a tractor trailer. And it's actually not sore muscles. No, it feels like I've gone and caught a case of spring flu or something. Slight fever, my head is a little foggy...ugh I hate getting sick. Bring's out the inner bitch in me. Not that she's very far from the surface to begin with.

Was over on Wendi's diary this morning reading and it occurred to me that although I love reading fanfics, especially Wendi's, I don't think I could ever write one. It's not that I don't get ideas for them, I do. But I just can't see myself writing one. I think it's because I would only ever write one for a show I loved. And that's the problem. I don't think I could write about characters I love so much without changing them, and then they wouldn't be the characters I loved would they? Then there's the fact that I'm pretty critical of my work. For instance, this diary. I type everything out in my html editor. It has spell-check for one, and as I type my entries into a template for my diary's layout I can see exactly what it will look like once I post it. I've been known to rearrange parts of my entry just so that it flows better or looks a little more even. Anal aren't I?

So...I'm being booted off the computer so that my cousin can print out some stuff he needs for his 'little project'. If it wasn't his computer I'd boot him upside the head. I'll post again later.
