bitchy_merlinI have come to the conclusion that it is a really good thing I don't need sleep. Or down-time. Or time to exercise. Or time to relax and chat with friends. Or time to socialize at all, for that matter.
It's a good thing I don't need any of that, because I'm sure as hell not getting any. a;lsdkf;asdlkj I said I would try to keep the complaining about work to a minimum, but I'm fresh off of two 14-hour days in a row, I got less than five hours of sleep last night, and I haven't exercised since Monday. THIS IS MY POUTY FACE.
(I'm actually seriously upset about not being able to exercise. Really, really frustrated. I HAVE TO DO THREE HILLS BY SATURDAY, ARRGH.)
And it's especially ridiculous because I'm working four shifts at COBS this week, which is more than I normally work in two weeks. WTF, way to schedule things. This is also because I am a total wet blanket IRL and caved to my boss' plea of "But there is absolutely no one who can close on Saturday!". So, um. MICHELLE, IF YOU READ THIS, I CAN ONLY HANG WITH YOU EARLY SAT AFTERNOON. (AND IT'S TERRIBLE BECAUSE I FUCKING LEAVE IN LIKE A WEEK AND ;ALKSDFJ;ALSDFJKA;LSKDFJA;S1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M JUST SO FUCKING FRUSTRATED THAT FOUR MONTHS HAVE GONE BY AND I HAVEN'T DONE HALF THE THINGS I WANTED TO, AND I HAVEN'T SEEN PEOPLE ENOUGH AND )
I need to stop thinking about this; it will only end in tears. I feel like crying all the time, now. JFC, hormones, get it together!
I've also noticed that I tend to get - I believe the phrase is "a little OCD" - about schedules now. More than I used to. I have a very clear structure of how time will be spent in my head, and if things deviate from that schedule - even by a small increment* - cue HORMONESPLOSION (of doom). For example, tomorrow my schedule is: work 7:30am-4; dinner with Fatima 5:30-8pm; go for a run 8-9pm. You can bet that if I'm not changing into my running clothes by 8:05, I will be hard-pressed not to throw a painfully immature hissy fit or have a Bale-out.
*Literally, three minutes, as in today. This is why I'm not a morning person.
BUT OK, ENOUGH ABOUT THAT SHIT.
LET'S TALK ABOUT BBC'S SHERLOCK. WHY? BECAUSE I'M A LITTLE BIT IN LOVE WITHBENEDICK CUCUMBERBATCH THAT SHOW. UM. Being late to the bandwagon as always, I noticed people raving about it, being like "Holy shit - that was... actually enjoyable!". Then ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
copperbadge recced it, and I was like OKAY THIS SEALS THE DEAL. It took me longer than I'd like to admit to find a good stream (Google-fu, I cannot haz), but a couple days ago, I watched A Study in Pink. GUYS, CAN I JUST SAY THAT SHERLOCK + TEXTING = MY OTP? SO MUCH LOVE, RIGHT HERE. SO MUCH. I liked how the adjectives popped up as Sherlock examined the crime scene (a bit like a Whodunnit, but it was fun seeing his thought process). AND I ADORED THE SCENE WITH HOLMES AND WATSON TRYING TO FIGURE OUT "RACHE".
Sherlock: If you'd been murdered - if you had seconds left to live, what would you say?
Watson: Please, God, let me live.
Sherlock: No, use your imagination!
Watson: I don't have to.
*Hearts and stars* *________________* I loved that. I loved Watson's line, "I don't have to". I loved how he said it: just, you know, softly, straight up, like a fact. That line really got me, enough that I paused the stream just so I could watch it again.
Annnnnnnnnnnnd the dead baby line.
Sherlock: What? It's been fourteen years. She can't still miss it [stillborn child]!
Ohhhh, Sherlock, you misanthropic douche, you.
I find it weird that this show is tempting me to refer to him as Sherlock, rather than as Holmes. As if they're two different people, kind of like how I think of the books versus the movies/tv series. To me, the true Sherlock Holmes is the one in my imagination, from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's descriptions of him; all the actors are nice, and everything, but they won't attain the fixedness or the certainty that stems from the canon. (I love RDJ to bits and pieces, but despite his epic romance with the sex god that is Jude Law, he's still not who I think of when I hear the name "Sherlock Holmes".)
But back to the actual topic, I'm so fucking excited for Thursday/the weekend when I can FINALLY watch the next two episodes.
