just a small town girl

[coyotesuspect]

I'd kind of forgotten how much I hated living someplace where the most exciting thing to do is hang out in the K-Mart the next town over. Also, the only movie rental place around went out of business, and the internet here isn't even fast enough for Hulu, so my desire to see Generation Kill/Star Trek TOS/Dogma/1776 remains thwarted.

*wills parents to get NetFlix*


I guess to give people an idea of the town I went to high school in, and where my family still lives: You know all those small towns Sam and Dean visit in season 1 and 2? And you're always thinking, "This America isn't even real! Why the hell have there been only two black people in this entire show? Does everyone really carry a gun?" And there are creepy dark pine trees and depressed goth girls skirting around the edges of everything? That's here. Maybe I'll steal my sister's camera one of these days and go snap a picture of the house where the road turns off into the woods with the Confederate flag and the noose in the front yard.  

Living condition-wise, since the house is too small for everyone to have their own room, and my older brother already sleeps in the garage, I've been sleeping on a mattress on the floor of my little sister's room and living out of my suitcase. But despite all this (and all the passive aggressive bitching I do to familiar) I'm happy? I did really miss my family. And damn, but the stars out here are beautiful. 

Also! I got my driver's handbook! So presumably I am going to learn how to drive! oh god what if I kill someone

I've killed two black widows* in the past week. A third one has taken up residency in the fusebox, and I await my day to kill it. The battle between girl and poisonous arachnid continues.
 
In other news, soccer RPF has taken over my brain. I've written like 4000 words of porn even. And I hate writing porn. ALL FOR U, familiardevil , ALL FOR U.

My head hurts. Have some memes wut I stole from cantarina1  and unavoidedcrisis :

I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's so and so...she likes office supplies." 

and:

Post a link to whatever fanworks you're most proud of! I don't care what your medium is: podfic, art, graphics, meta, fic, poetry, mixes; if you're particularly proud of it, I want to see it in the comments. Throw in a link to something you've always wished had gotten more attention and I'll wander over to have a visit. If you think I've already seen it but it really is your favourite, post it anyway. I'll leave more feedback if I haven't already left much and it gives everyone else a chance to be exposed to these fantastic things they may have missed.

*I originally forgot to put the very important modifier "black" here. So it read "I've killed two widows in the past week." Yeeeeah.

ETA: Oh, and the point of this post: I haven't been getting lj notifications! And since I only use my e-mail for lj notifications, I haven't really been checking it! Also, aim signs me on automatically on the family computer (despite my unclicking the "sign in automatically" box), so, uh, be careful lest you end up talking to my dad or little brother or cousins? Believe it or not, I have been even worse about keeping in touch with real life friends. I don't even remember the last time I logged in on facebook. /o\

YOU MUST SEE 1776. MUST.

That town sounds creepy, but it's so good that you're happy to be home regardless! D'awww!

You'll be the best driver ever! You can roadtrip to Florida and then kill a bunch of spiders for us, you warrior woman, you.

YAY TO YOU WRITING A LOT OF SOCCER RPF. FTW.

IT MAKES ME SAD WHEN YOU ARE COLD AND DISTANT, COYOTE. Have you contacted LJ about the notifications thing yet?

[familiardevil.livejournal.com]

FUCK YEAH SOCCER RPF. It's only the most amazing thing to ever amaze me <333333

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

YOU ARE TOO KIND. <33333333333333333

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

I WANT TO. SO BADLY. SINCE JUNIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL WHEN WE WATCHED A SNIPPET IT APUSH.

It is! Kind of! And yet, I am weirdly fond and generally feel safe? (Okay, I generally feel safe anywhere because I have no concept of personal safety and even my atheist friends pray for me, but whatever.)

LOL I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU ARE ENCOURAGING MY SOCCER RPF. I REALLY DO NOT. Also, I should probably clean up what I've written and post it one of these days. y/n?

Um. No. ): Lazy!coyote is lazy.

YOU WOULD LOVE IT. WE WOULD LOVE IT *TOGETHER*.

I'm like that, too! I grew up in this neighborhood that ends like three houses before the ghetto starts, so I would sometimes have to walk through the ghetto to get places and I would just walk on through singing showtunes loudly and all the crack heads found me too endearing to rape and all my friends were like, "Please, please don't tell me when you do things like that, you are like three feet tall and wold fit into a van quite nicely."

BECAUSE YOU HAVE A PASSION FOR IT AND YOUR PASSION TICKLES MY TOES AND I HAVE SO BEEN THERE ON THE SHIPPING SPORTS DUDES THAT NO ONE ELSE CARES ABOUT BUT THINKING THAT IT IS THE MOST AWESOME THING IN THE WORLD.

You should post it someday!

LOLOL. It will work out to be lazier in the long run to just email them than to have to track down all your comments.

<3333333333 SOMEDAY CHERIE, MY LOVE. SOME DAY.

Yay! We would make perfect traveling companions, you and I. I always get the D: face from friends when I go to the nearest L stop, because it's in a 'bad neighborhood." Whatever bitches, I just get into conversations with people about my hair.

LOL AT LEAST THERE IS A SOCCER RPF FANDOM! Just not for any of the ships familiar and I have arbitrarily decided. *g*

Hmmm. Good point! I had not considered this.

Also, omg cherie, I woke up at three in the afternoon today. ;___;

[scorpiod1.livejournal.com]

Coy, I woke up at 4:30 today ;____; I am literally having breakfast right now D:

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

Lol! Oh,scorp, bb. What time did you go to sleep? And did you get the scene done?

[scorpiod1.livejournal.com]

I'm not entirely sure. I think it was about 7? Maybe a little later?

But I did get it down! \o/

I'll be on AIM later to battle some more, I'm just watching a movie with my parents right now. :)

[coyotesuspect.livejournal.com]

Late night is laaaate. /o\

ooh, what movie?

And okey doke! I'm just on my iPod right now anyway.

[scorpiod1.livejournal.com]

Um, From Paris with Love. I'm not too fond of it because John Travolta's character is really irritating me but mommy wants me to spend more time with her so I wiiiillll XD And maybe later, I'll get some Starbucks out of it :D

[cherie-morte.livejournal.com]

OMG! WE WOULD GET INTO SO MANY HAIR CONVERSATIONS ON THE ROAD TOGETHER THAT THERE WOULD NEVER BE TIME TO GET ATTACKED!

LOL. I can beat that! I woke up a few times, but I didn't actually *get up* until 8:20 p.m. That's right. 8:20 p.m.
