My fingernails are coated in yellow highlighter. Ugh.

In other news, I stayed up nauseatingly late last night and my alarm went off at half six. I was sleeping so deeply that I can't remember getting out of bed, switching off the alarm, going downstairs. My memory only comes back into focus at the point I discovered my mother had in fact been up since twenty to four. As my only purpose in getting up was making sure she did, I wished her good luck and went to bed.

I don't know why I was sleeping so deeply again, but I slept straight through until morning. If you can call eleven morning.

I think Becca, my mother and me are going to see Two Week's Notice tonight, if I can get cinema listings for the damn cinema.

And that is that. I will get dressed in a moment, and I think I may do some work on the Flagg fic. I was blocked last night and talking to [livejournal.com profile] purplerainbow about it - she now wants me to send her the completed fic, which I will do, but I have a feeling it's not going to be one of my finest hours.
What was I thinking, thinking I could pull this off? The problem is of course the deeply dark/angsty nature of the challenge, as opposed to the screwball humour suggested by Flagg being in the fic.

Ugh. Maybe things will be clearer when I've taken a shower.

All I can say is-- good luck. I knew I couldn't pull it off, which is why I was eager to pass it on, but I have no doubt that you'll come up with something great.

Thank you for having faith in me. The problem is, I can't get anyone in character, doing this!
What a cross I bear, to be sure...

Yes, yes -- good luck on the Flagg fic! I know you can do it. And Flagg doesn't always have to be associated with screwball humor, ya know -- I'm working on an Evil!Flagg fic of my own, and it turns out he can be pretty damn dark. ;)

My fingernails are coated in yellow highlighter. Ugh.

Heh heh.... I'm remembering there was a time in high school when I used to like to paint my fingernails with blue polish, then go over them with a yellow highlighter so they turned a lovely shade of green. But then, I was a strange kid. :D

*laughs* Green nails? Even I've never done that!
[My nails are now deep purple/black. Go figure]

As for everyone's favourite CIA man, he's just so hard to get in character when he's being dark! This is really challenging challenge, somehow...

Hmm... Well, in my opinion, there are elements of dark in him. On the show, he ends up being comic relief because he's so Out There that Hawkeye et al. find him laughable. But when you think about it, he's probably a fairly twisted individual underneath it all...

Ah, I dunno. Maybe I'm just trying to rationalize so I can reassure myself that I haven't written him too far out of character in my fic. :D
