Some pimping and random thoughts -

Pimpage first -

1.) emeraldpen has started a novel-length H/D. It's called Spoils of War. Just, guh. It's a bondslave!draco story but it's unique from any of the ones I've read so far. I'm really really enjoying this story so go check it out and let her know how much you love it!


2.) 30_memoirs - started by imadra_blue. It has a fantastic concept - people sign up to write a personal memoir based on 30 prompts. It's amazing and just YEAH! I've signed up for it as sometimes I get too absorbed in fandom and not absorbed enough in my own writing. I think this will help me concentrate on non-fandom writings.


3.) The darkones bad beginnings challenge voting has started. There's some amazing dark stories there. (I wrote Expectations about Barty Crouch (you know, the story none of you read *winks*). Go vote HERE!


4.) 1character - I signed up for Carth Onasi. Should be interesting. I'm still fairly pissed at the KFM crap though, so we'll see.



Random Thoughts -

I really don't want to go into work tomorrow.

I really don't want to post my unexpected_task. The recipient is NOT going to like it and I am no longer psyched about writing it.

Right now, I really hate one of the RPGs I'm in. It's stressful and annoying and peopled with narrow-minded idiots who can't see beyond their own preferences and preconceived notions. Emo or not, that's how I feel about it. And before anyone asks - I'm not going to say what one it is or why I feel that way.

I'm really not going to sign up for 6 exchange assignments due at the same time ever again. EVER. By the end, I felt stressed and angry and that's not how it's supposed to be.

I'm so not in a good mood right now. (see above "stressed and angry" comments.)

OMG, I just heard someone say "emo boyfriend" on the OC. (err, I'm not watching it. My sister is watching it on the Tivo right now. OC = teenage!stupidity and brainpower loss.

I purged a bunch of icons as I wasn't using them and stuffs. I feel semi-naked without them for some reason, though.

I love Tyr/Harper. They're so pretty and a study of opposites and stuff. Tyr is so purty. I love Keith Hamilton Cobb.





I watched a shitload of movies in the past few days.

History of Violence with Viggo Mortensen - ok, YAY for Viggo arse but um, WTF? I really disliked this movie. It was a series of disconnected scenes and the ending was predictable a mile away.

Ice Age II - YAY for cute! I really really liked this. It was cute and perky and cheered me up for quite awhile.

Memoirs of a Geisha - Beautiful and wonderful and poetic and lovely. Almost as good as the book.

Doom - Mixed reaction on this one. I liked the ending and well, Karl Urban (I blame yodels for that addiction). But the Rock really can't act. He's sexy as all get out but really, just no. I kept flinching and hiding, sure something was going to jump out at me but nope. It was kinda cheesy and schtuffs. Still, not a bad movie, it just wasn't good either.

The Weatherman - just dumb. I've never liked Nicolas Cage, though, so that might be a big reason. It wasn't at all like it was advertised. I was at least expecting to laugh. In a way, it reminded me of the Fisher King. Fisher King was advertised as funny but it wasn't. Quirky, poetic and full of social commentary, it was a great movie. The Weatherman though... ick. I didn't even pay for it and I wanted to demand my money back.



Finally - I went to Target yesterday to get new bottoms as I only had three that fit anymore (a pair of jeans, gray dress slacks and a long green skirt). I'm fat and just eugh. Time for a diet. I think I need to cut down on the gobstoppers... a box a day is probably not good for the teeth or anything.

*random drive-by hug*

Sorry for the fandom stress. I agree, 6 things due at the same time is too much. And sorry you aren't enjoying one of your RPGs. That sucks. :(

And you know, the OC season one was my intro to slash. It didn't used to suck, really. At least it didn't suck in quite the same way. I know you will never believe me, but it's true.

I'm on a diet too, as I think I mentioned to you. Email me instead of eating gobstoppers, how's that? :P

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Yeah, not doing that again and thanks for the drive-by hug!

It's more that I'm just all around stressed so I'm hypersensitive and stuff.

You have got to be kidding me on the OC Thing, right? please? I was so proud that I didn't know anyone who watched the OC... ARGH!!!! (just kidding... ok, not completely but kinda, yanno?)

I started the full on diet today. The only thing that cheered me was that I didn't have to buy up a size at Target. I bought my same size ( a 12). But I still feel fat and I just don't want to go to all these things and meet all these friends and be "the fat chick".

*loves*

[incapricious.livejournal.com]

You know, we had this conversation about the OC before. Apparently you blocked it out. :P

How's the diet going? Mine's going okay. I am in a 12 too, but just barely. Yeah I know what you mean about not wanting to meet new people and be the fat chick. I never think of myself that way and then I see pictures and go 'OMG is that me?' *sigh*

*loves back*

Mm, Tyr/Harper. *fails to focus on anything but that*

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Tyr/Harper are beautiful together, aren't they?

have you heard of fluffy_fangirls? even though I'm pregnant, I still keep and eye on that community and use it to help me stay motivated to exercise and NOT eat every single thing that I crave.

I have... I've been debating lately. I'm just down in the dumps and depressing everyone around me and blech.

[albur.livejournal.com]

Whats this about KFM?

Good luck with Carth... I made far too much work for myself regarding 1sentence and 1character things...

I just keep getting these random "feels like a prologue" comments on my story when it IS a prologue that clearly ends with the beginning of the game. IT's frustrating that no one seems to be picking up on it when I thought it was fairly blatantly obvious but that's just me and my writing, methinks.

I just saw 'The Weather Man' last night and was just like '... What the fuck is this shit?!' Like some of the stuff really bugged me because it was like 'I don't want to hear this', you know? I swear, I'm probably the only one who liked 'A History of Violence', but there you go.

[wook77.livejournal.com]

I thought it was painful to watch, The WEatherman that is.

A History of Violence just didn't flow for me. I would've liked more details into Viggo's past or something other than the smex. Then again, it was Viggo smex so that's a tradeoff.

Random Karl icon, just because I can. I saw Monster-In-Law this weekend and thought it was pretty horrific. Jane Fonda was just so screetchy and annoying, and Michael Vartan, who I love from Alias, was a total nothing in this, Mr. Personalityless. oh well.

Sorry you're pissed and angry and whatnot. I'm sure its the letdown after your mega sugar-high. I'm sure De didn't mean for you to eat all the candy in one go.

:P

[wook77.livejournal.com]

Monster-In-Law was painful.

Oh yeah, I totally want to steal that icon. (I'm in the middle of re-watching LOTR and giggling everytime Karl Urban comes on now cause he's, you know... Karl Urban. ;) )

It's stress of my own creation. It probably is the letdown from the sugarhigh. I actually do have a bunch of the candybars left, though so YAYES for that.
