And now we come to the other issue. I've become somewhat...disenchanted with screenwriting for a variety of stupid reasons. I keep waiting for it to pass. Hoping that one day, I'll actually be moved to find my Final Draft CD to install it because I need to write something.

It's been a year and a half. I'm pretty sure it's gone for good.

Thanks for all the fish.

Not necessarily. I didn't write a single word of fiction for 10 years. Then I discovered the Buffistas, fanfic, and slash. And now I remember how much I enjoy writing.

And maybe it won't come back - but maybe something else will come.

Oh I still write. Popslash by the truckload. I just can't write scripts anymore.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

"Dude Where's My Car" strikes me as a disenchantment unto itself.

It's been a year and a half. I'm pretty sure it's gone for good.

Maybe. Maybe not, though. I ran into a completely disillusioning experience with publishing in the early nineties and got so disgusted I shoved the novel in progress in a drawer and walked away from it, leaving it unfinished. That was in 1993. Said novel is the one coming out this autumn. So, you never know.

Waiting for my husband to get out of the shower. It's MS meds night and I am definitely hurtin'.

deb, every once in a while I'll get my abbreviations confused and think that MS=manuscript. And then I think, wow - medications for manuscripts? Who cares if it's painful - but, really, of course, that's not thinking at all.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Dude Where's My Car is a fine, fine film. Shibby!

But, I also own Hudson Hawk. It's just that there's a sweetness to DWMC that is hard to find in silly little films, and I cherish that.

Also, I have plans to write a DWMC/Smallville crossover called Dude, Where's My Clark?

Oh good, I can move off the depressing writing topic and onto embarrassing movies I have.

I own Airheads.

I fucking LOVE Airheads.

Damn.

Shit, why don't I own it?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Ya'll know that Neil Gaiman wrote Matrix fanfic, right? And that it's really good?
