Awwww, man. I really want to watch Peyton Place on TCM tonight, but I'm so close to locking down the rest of Titanic that I probably shouldn't take my mind elsewhere.

It was crazy--I was up until three am last night writing, not just futzing around but actually pounding it out, and then I was up at eight this morning writing connective tissue. It was weird--I finally had one of those mornings where I could say, "This needs to be written, so now I will write it," and I would just fill in the gaps. Of course, it's still overdue as all hell, but... there you go.

We're up to 39 pages. It'll definitely be 40, maybe more, by the time it's done. That's about twice as long as usual, although I'm sure "Rose!" "Jack!" "Rose!" "Jack!" takes up a good bit of that space. I was a zombie in class--not because I was tired, but because Uncle Tom's Cabin was completely crowded out by all the Titanic miscellany.

My head hurts. I'm hungry. Where's dinner? I want cake.*




* Do not actually send me cake.

Cake makes everything better. ::nods::

On another note, I had a surreal moment today. I mentioned M15M in class today whilst discussing storyline and parody, and another kid said, "Hey, I read those! Do you read her LOST recaps too?"

Truly, the sacrifices you make for the rest of us are heroic and should be commemorated. Possibly with a decorative plaque.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

And with cake.

Please?

*hands you random piece of cake*
Wow, productivity. If only it could be bottled...along with willpower, fulfillment, and strength. Good luck finishing writing everything down.

.:pats Cleo head:. There, there. In a few days this will all be a happy memory.

...or maybe not. But it will be a memory, the emotion attatched to it not withstanding.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, I know I'll certainly associate Prince with it until the day I die.

Peyton Place was a let-down; don't be too disappointed.

Ever get the email I sent maybe two weeks ago?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

See, PP is a huge guilty pleasure of mine--I've seen it several times, but not all the way through in one sitting, I don't think, which was why I wanted to watch it tonight.

I did! Did I not reply? The icon was great--I'd like to maybe see a fancy script "woe." and maybe a very plain type one as well. People seemed interested enough that I think both would go over. : )

(Hands ya a chocolate cupcake) Sorry - closest thing to cake I have here atm!

[pscopathictiger.livejournal.com]

Awww..Poor Cleo. *hands Cleo whole cake, like the one in Matilda*

Wow, sorry branched out a bit.
At least you know, that this will make a lot of people happy.

And, Prince can get anyone through anything.

This is totally off topic, but I had a dream about your website a few nights ago. I can't remember what happened, but I remember that it was imperative that I go to your site. Ummmmm...yes...

[katla-asriel.livejournal.com]

*hands you every kind of cake there is* You've done an excellent job, I'm sure, and it'll all be worth it later on. Keep going - we're all rooting for you to come out on top, Cleo!

Awww poor dear. :goes searching for cake::


Squeee Peyton Place, I love that movie.

[ambiguousreason.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear you're finally making progress and can see the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak. Even though it's overdue and you've still got quite a few more to do, but we won't talk about that.

40 pages? *squeals*

Cake sounds good. Damn it. I shouldn't have cake. We don't have any cake anyway.

[t4-flirt.livejournal.com]

omg. I sooooo love your icon. Squee Little Mermaid.
can I borrow? pretty please with cherries?

[ter369.livejournal.com]

I want cake.

I want a pony.

But I need a haircut.

It's hard to be an adult.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Which is probably why I'm not very good at it.

[rebel-waltz.livejournal.com]

[spectralbovine.livejournal.com]

I want cake.

You say things like that, you know, and about three thousand people rush to the post office and mail you cake. And you'd think cake wouldn't mail well, but a friend of mine did in fact run a Smushed Cake Contest for which her readers were to mail her cake. The cake would be judged on traits like taste and smushiness. I think only one person entered, though.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Dude. I want cake now, which means "Let me go bake a cake," not "All y'all sacrifice innocent baked goods to Teh Cleo." I need to seriously start posting some disclaimers on my entries.

[theatre-angel.livejournal.com]

I can't wait to curl up with a blanket and a good mug of hot chocolate and read this parody. :-)

To help you cheer up further--

Some incredibly adorable Lost icons that make me wish I could draw (http://www.livejournal.com/users/miggy/561629.html#cutid1)

Not Cake.

[kira002.livejournal.com]

It's not cake and it's not edible, but I've been meaning to offer you something from Lost-Tees.com (http://www.lost-tees.com) as a thank you for your brilliance.

Seriously. Whatever you want.

Re: Not Cake.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Awww! I would say get me a button to pin on my messenger bag, but I don't know who to pick!

[squee1123.livejournal.com]

remember to always try to take some 'Cleo time'. *this was directed towards Cleo...not towards her undying fans...though if they want to take some Cleo time as well power to yeh...*

[http://users.livejournal.com/_stormthesea/]

I am completely imagining this as an afternoon special so I can shake my head and say, "Oh, how the woman loves her cake."

[ayn-rand-fan-13.livejournal.com]

Best of luck with Titanic. Ooh, cake sounds really good.
Sorry, this is kind of off topic, but today I found a soundtrack to Phantom of the Opera lying around the house, and during Music of the Night I started adding the lyrics to Noveelas of the Night. A cousin of mine was in the London production of it, as the phantom, so I was gonna get him to sing it for me with those lyrics. So...awesome...

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hee! I actually wrote the lyrics to that before I'd ever heard the song at all, just looking at lyrics on a web page, so I had no idea if they had the right rhythm or anything.

*starts cramming a cake into a box*
Damn you stupid cake! Fit into the box! Cleo wants cake!

[sydelbow.livejournal.com]

It's a good thing you put that asterisk in.
Someone threatened to mail me brownies once.

[quizzicalsphinx.livejournal.com]

My standard LJ reward for anyone who does me a favour online is "a plate of warm homemade brownies--but you'll have to pay shipping unless you can come pick them up."

[quizzicalsphinx.livejournal.com]

Great. Now what am I going to do with all this cake?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, I mean, if you've *got* cake, I can take it off your hands...

[sapphsmum.livejournal.com]

Oh Cleo, I used to watch the soap Peyton Place every week with my Mom. My goodness that seems like 20 life times ago! I loved that show. Ryan O'Neil and Mia Farrow were so young then,and I can't believe my Mom let me watch the show considering I was only 11 at the time it started. She was pretty liberal about those things though.

And I loved the movie as well with Lana Turner!

They definitely were a guilty pleasure!

My Mom introduced me to the movies Imitation of Life (with Lana Turner) and Pinky and I still can't watch that IoL without crying at the end! It's a three hanky movie! Now my oldest daughter loves Imitation of Life as well.

And speaking of cake (homemade layered white cake with chocolate frosting) is my favorite. YUMMY! Not like I need it but it's as you say one of life's guilty pleasures and without those how would we survive? Or would it even be worth surviving?

And hurrah on your progress on the book! Before you can say "m15m" it will be flying off the book store shelves!

Hiya "Mom" Hurrah! and hope you are having a 'good' day. Thoughts and prayers.
