I need better things to talk about

[float_on_alright]

I’m glad I stayed up the other night to work more on my Shadowhunter’s story the other night! I was able to get to my word count for March on Friday night because I didn’t get a chance to write at all last night. Jaymie and I were hanging out until like 2 in the morning and maybe I could’ve written a little bit at that point, but I was pretty tired from all the cleaning I did before going, going out, and then hanging out and I’m just glad that I didn’t have to do any more writing and that I’d already met my goal. It was kind of a relief actually not to be pressured into having to write more. I’m going to try try not to be behind on my writing goals this month.

 

I’ve got a lot going on this month. I need figure out what I’m going to write for my Teen library post--this will be my first one, but I’ll be doing it once a month moving forward. I’m nervous about it because I’m not really sure what I’m going to do with it. The blog has traditionally just been a “Teen Librarian Recommends” but I’m not actually a librarian and I’m not sure that I want to do only recommendations each month, even if the theme was different each time.

 

It feels weird that I’m going back to work tomorrow, though I’m sure it’ll feel normal more or less once I’m there.

 

Today was the day I needed though. I’m really glad I got to spend time with Jaymie and all the other peeps yesterday, but today was the day I really needed. I slept late, which was lovely. Then I watched Shadowhunters while I had some breakfast and snuggled the dog which was awesome. It was the episode that Maia and Jace hook up because she’s disappointed about Simon and he’s still in love with Clary. It’s also a really great Malec episode too, which is of course, one of my favorite things. But yeah, the longing Jace obviously feels, no matter what bullshit he spouts, and the pull that Clary can’t seem to fight feeling anymore either if her furtive glances and hasty exits when Jace is around are any indication.

 

The drama in those relationships is so juicy. The next episode has one of my favorite scenes of all time in anything. Like, it’s not a great scene or anything, but just… well, the whole thing is that in order to go alive and free, Clary must kiss the person she most wants to kiss. And it’s like a stupid scene. It totally sucks for Simon who is a wonderful, beautiful, fantastic person with an incredible heart, but sometimes as much as I absolutely adore a character, I don’t want them to end up with a particular character. It’s not my fault that I’m such a sucker for some of this shit. As dumb as it is, I had the same go around about Twilight because I loved Jacob to the ends of the earth, but I always wanted Bella to end up with Edward. So yeah, as much as I want Simon to get a happily ever after, I’m desperate for Clary to have hers with Jace. Jace has been through hell and hell again. Not that Simon doesn’t go through serious shit too, he more than deserves happiness. I guess I don’t have to justify how I feel about the characters and who they end up with. I know some people ship Alec with Jace and actually, in the show, they have an incredible relationship that has moments of love and the chemistry between the actors is fantastic. I love Magnus and Alec and Jace and Clary and I’ll always choose those pairings, but I do see the closeness between Jace and Alec.

 

Anyway, I’m going to watch the end of this episode and head to bed. Busy day tomorrow!
