Note to self: Self? You have permission to do nothing but write today. It's okay. So stop eyeballing all of the other Shit That Needs To Get Done and feel good about your writing time.

I was determined not to post a whiney "Wah, I'm single and Valentine's Day sucks" entry on the day in question, so I just stayed offline that day. It was actually a pretty good day. Had to go to my Marriage & Family class and talk more about the love chapter, that was the only time my single status and the significance of the day really got to me, but even then I was kinda distracted by being pissed off at how none of the class discussion or the prof's lecture actually has anything to do with test-related material and feeling like going to that class is a huge waste of time. But then I went to my internship and partied with the moppets. Spent a good portion of the afternoon helping a MR/OCD first grader go through her loot, counting it and reading her Valentines and watching her get so excited after each one that she had to stop and wiggle. So. Cute. Came home, worked out, watched Farscape, then watched Ten Things I Hate About You because I have a weakness for the teen movie. After that I tried to write, but mostly sat around listening to sad love songs trying to get in the mood for my chapter, before finally figuring out that I really wasn't in the mood to write angst, at which point I gave up and went to bed. Whoo.

As I said the other day, I have a really clear vision of what needs to happen in my chapter, but as it turns out I really have to be in a certain kind of mood to [Major DL spoiler]make Buffy try to kill Spike[/spoiler], so that's coming along a lot more slowly than I'd anticipated.

Anyway. I got a little writing done yesterday before going to see Daredevil, which, by the by, I enjoyed well enough. Having never read the comics I had no expectations for what the characters should be like, so Ben worked for me. Jennifer Garner still bugs, though, and I thought Electra would be a bit more of a badass (I guess I did have some expectations after all). But all in all I thought it was a pretty good introduction to the characters. I gotta say, though, that I'm way more excited about X-Men 2, for which they show a really long trailer before the movie. Though I have some reservations about what they appear to be doing with Rogue, but I'm trying not to pre-judge. But I digress. At any rate, I got to get a little dressed up last night and go out and eat Chinese food and see a movie in a theater and hang with my best 3-D friend whom I hadn't seen in weeks, so it was a good night.

Today? I'm writing. And that is all. I mean it!
