I've been collecting links to share for like 3 weeks now so here goes:

The List of Fail:

Dear Orlando -

You win! You're the fail of the post! FAIL that words cannot describe. In what world does it make sense to criminalize people feeding other people. Oh wait, but if we criminalize feeding the homeless, they'll go away. Yeah, cause it worked so well in the 80s. In conclusion, triple fail.

No love, me

Army Colonel Cheats on Wife, Fakes Paternity Test Oh fuck off, you twunt. Suck it up, accept responsibility and move the fuck on. Also - if you were any sort of smart, you wouldn't be in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. (Disclaimer: I was born there. I'm smart, I left.)

Truth behind puppies at pet stores (Video by the Humane Society of the United States). Then again, who really needs to see the parents of the animal anyway? Also - I've had this discussion before, please note the large amount of Amish people at these things (and using microphones!). The Amish are some of the worst offenders when it comes to puppy mills. Oh but that puppy's so cute, I must have it! MY puppy doesn't come from a puppy mill, it's all the other pet stores that do it.

Way to go, RIAA - With PR like this, who needs album advertising?

Senior citizens who happen to be gay get shunted off with the insane because they're offensive - huh. Assholes. Plenty of stories in the NYT article which I cannot direct link to.

What sort of world do we live in that A bullet-proof hoodie is needed?

And people wonder why I don't like riding in hot air balloons or ferris wheels. Because you can fall out and die.

Larger List of Win:

7 year old climbs into a toy machine. HEEEEE

Instructions on how to create your own ringtones for your cellphones SCORE!

Campaign to have Peter Jackson direct Deathly Hallows He has to be able to do a better job.

This weekend is International Clean Up Weekend!

Mr Potato Head is a drug smuggler. Yes, kids, it's true. I hope he goes to rehab. It's worked well for Britney and Lindsey, after all.

DUUUUDDDDEEEEE, a 21 Foot Long X-Wing Model that FLIES. Win all around. In fact, Win of the Post.

The Killers cover Joy Division. At first, I was all, no frikken way. I adore Joy Division and I love the Killers but both? But it's serious win. First runner-up of Win.

Me Wants

Small List of Other:

I have a large list of recommendations but best fic I've read in weeks - Combat Rock which is Remus/Sirius and just brilliantly painful and poignant and so amazingly visceral. I am in love with this story. Go read.

I'm watching two tv shows right now: Moonlight (which always makes me want to say Moonlighting but then it'd be Bruce Willis and I might have to gouge my eyes out). It's alright, I'm more watching for the pretty.

And, best show ever. It's like Mel Brooks meets friends - Big Bang Theory. It's nerdy and funny and awesome. In the second episode, the one nerd comes out of his bedroom wielding a green lightsaber to protect himself. They play world of warcraft and omg, it's just fucking awesome. I laughed so hard, I had pop coming out my nose and I fell off the couch. Check it out if you're even semi-sort of geeky because it's seriously just AWESOME.

7 Quirks Meme )

In the past week and a half, I have finished 4 stories and have another 3 to go before I go on vacation (ZOMG TWO WEEKS). smutty_claus, daily_deviant and two lines are all due the beginning of November and I'd rather get them out of the way before vacation and nanowrimo. BTW - if you want to keep up with my nanowrimo writing, you will have to friend [livejournal.com profile] tryntje as nothing will be posted publicly.

Right. Back to writing. Anyone wanna distract me? I don't think [livejournal.com profile] yodels is around with her giant stick of deadlines to smack me.
wook77: (work)
This has been bugging me for awhile (and I'm talking about 8 months here since I had a super emo person that friended me and would not leave me the fuck alone) so here goes -

I hate when people announce friends cuts or do the whole "comment to stay my friend". Look, it's your friends list. Do with it what you want. You like me, keep me, you don't, then don't.

I'm not going to comment on the "comment to stay my friend" thing because if we are friends.............. you will keep me regardless of whether I beg you to or not.

I really don't see why people announce friends cuts either. It's your flist. You want to cut some people, go for it. That's your choice. All I've seen it do is send people into a tizzy about whether or not they've been cut.

Just so much dislike for this whole thing.

Moving on to something much less frustrating - BOYSNOGGING VIDEO MONTAGE that [livejournal.com profile] mortenvida found that is abso-frikken-lutely amazingly awesome.

Then - this conversation literally just happened when male coworker1 (C1) comes in to male boss's office -

C1: I hear you have a screw loose.
B: You what?
C1: [Coworker2] said that you do but I can't say if you do or not but I have a driver just in case.
B: I don't think we're talking about the same thing.
C1: *pauses*
C1: *thinks* OH!!!!! I didn't mean it that way.
B: *flirtatiously* So I can't experience your driver then?
C1: *blushes*

*time passes with them looking at the screw*

C1: I'm going to need an Allen for this.
B: You want to bring Allen into this? I'm not enough for you?
C1: *blushes*

*time passes with them looking at the chair and C1 is on his knees tightening a screw with my boss's desk*

B: I don't know how this fell out
C1: It's not my fault!
B: You were the one playing with it.
C1: You were supposed to hold it while I did it!
wook: *sporfles*

Hee, I love my coworkers.
wook77: (Fuck you)
Why is it when I have my Aunt Flo visiting, everyone's intelligence takes a trip for the worst?

I swear to God, every sodding stupid idiot comes out of the woodwork to ask me the world's stupidest questions.


Some Examples: )

In more fandom related news - I've written 20k since last week and have sent the majority to beta. I'm very excited for these projects though one won't be able to be posted for a very long time. I'm on a roll right now *grins*.


Wook's dumbarsed question of the day is about Horcruxes.

There are supposed to be seven parts of Voldemort's soul. According to the Wiki they are:

Puff's Cup
Diary
Locket
Ring
Voldemort
Nagini

What's the last? What do you think?

I don't want serious answers. Make it random. Make it cracky. Lay it on me.

This has been brewing for a bit... I'll try to stay polite but...

I belong to a shitload of comms. Maybe not as many as some but there are lots. Sometimes there are fic searches in those comms. I don't mind them if the searcher isn't spamming every frikken comm related to that pairing at the same time.

In fact, sometimes I re-discover old favourites, discover new favourites and sporking material and, I'll admit it, I've had an ego boost or two when one of my stories was searched for.

What I hate are the posts from people bitching about fic searches. I especially hate when people are all "ZOMG if you don't stop the fic searches, I'm going to leave this comm!!1!1!oneoneone".

Get. The. Fuck. Over. Yourself.

At least a fic search promotes discussion and allows for people to find something new to (re)read. You (and this is a general you) pissing and moaning about the fic searches does nothing but promote wank.

Scroll past 'em. Leave the comm. Piss and moan in your own journal about fic searches. I don't much care. Keep it out of the comm and stop making lurkers/newbies/others feel guilty about enjoying a story enough to want to read it again.

I do realise the hypocrisy of my post as I'm bitching about people bitching about fic searches but it never fails to annoy me. But at least I'm only annoying my flist and following my own advice, right?
wook77: (wank)
I need a happy place. Please... my coworker seriously just pissed herself and now the office smells like piss and I really really need a happy place to escape to.

Link me fic...link me art... link me smut... link me DOM... link me MONABOYD... link me pretteh boys... link me anything that will take me away from this wretched place. I don't give a shit about what fandom they're from... if it takes you to your happy place, then share it with me.

And because I know my flist... if you link me to watersports I will be very very unhappy...

Please, for the love of wook, spam my journal with anything that will take me to a happy place.

Nerd moment of the day -

A friend tells me, you need to dl this game "Spongebob Squarepants Diner Dash" cause it's ZOMGSPONGEBOB!

So I did and when I was playing it, all I could think was... This is completely wrong. Squidward isn't the cook! Spongebob is the cook and he has his spatula and those sure don't look like crabby patties on those plates and why is Spongebob doing that thing with the towel when he should be blowing bubble animals or something and where's Patrick? THIS GAME IS HORRIBLY UNCANON!


So, yeah, I need to actually maybe kinda get back to work instead of playing craptacular free downloads.


Or I need to get a life.


Or both.
wook77: (Not intimidating)
First - a wonderful piece of artwork...Inches from a kiss. It's labeled as Snape/Black. Personally, I'm thinking Regulus cause otherwise, blech but still amazing work. You all know, by now (hopefully), that I don't like Snape in any type of sexual situation. Sorry but the man's willy shrivels and dies whenever it's used for anything other than urination.

The fact that I'm pimping a piece of artwork with Snape kissing has got to tell you how amazing I find this piece of artwork.


Moving on - your crack for the day - Ice Skating Slash Cowboys! Um, yeah, yum anyone?


Ranty-rant-rant-rant aka Spongbob Rant-Pants (aka you don't need to read) )

I feel better. You may all continue on with your days. Anyone doing anything exciting for the weekend?
wook77: (Horn of Wankdar)
[livejournal.com profile] hp_bb was really entertaining tonight.


loves )

A rant about snap judgements for the rpg and dislikes so far )

Finally - [livejournal.com profile] jehnt pointed this out to me...Your Crack for the Evening. Look at the third one down. *dies*
wook77: (Fuck you)
Anyone remember the Muppet Show? Mark Hamill in Pigs In Space? Yeah, that one?

Well, I went to rent it tonight after work. I was really looking forward to getting a copy of it. I called in advance to confirm that they had a copy of the Mark Hamill special especially. They did so I was psyched as I left work.

On Video Stores or My Encounter with the Police )

[livejournal.com profile] fanfic_crossing - for all crossovers. You know you want to join!

[livejournal.com profile] mayflo has posted my commish. Go look now. It's so purty. It's from my story - Moments. This is my favorite work of my own. It pulled quite a bit out of me to write it and the artwork is gorgeous.

So my mother says, what's a safeword for? )

I admit it - I watch American Idol. Make fun, if you wish. It's the one tv show I follow any more. I used to watch Andromeda but then they got rid of Tyr. I bought Dead Like Me on DVD but never watched it while it was on Showtime because I can't afford Showtime for one tv show. I don't watch Queer as Folk (same as the Showtime thing only for HBO), Smallville, The OC (*shudders just to mention that insipidly stupid show*) or any of those.

However, I do watch American Idol so... be prepared for commentary in the next few months as it proceeds.

American Idol )

Finally (I know, long arsed update here) - anyone familiar with Cornwall (other than [livejournal.com profile] luciology cause I'm already bugging her for information)? I want to set a story there and I'd love first-hand experiences with it.
wook77: (Heh - Trance)
A few recc's for you -

[livejournal.com profile] hpvalensmut - OMG. I'm *ded* because of this one. My gift ficlet is just ABSOFRIKKENLUTELY AMAZING!!!!! Seriously - go read it... NOW. I wouldn't normally be such a demanding bitch but it's seriously an amazing read and I'm all capslock!gleeful over it.
The summary - Summary: A brief history of taking what there is to be had. (Harry/Draco)

[livejournal.com profile] hp_loveletters - Nothing Gold Can Stay - an amazing read and it's not h/d. Instead, it's Cedric and Oliver Wood. Not a pairing I would seek out normally but it came with a high recommendation. Boy was the person right! This is just painfully poignant and beautiful. I adored it and *gah*. It's angsty love and have your tissues ready.
The summary - Summary: Innocence, rightness and beauty magnified infinitely, until it almost hurt. Set during Goblet of Fire, Oliver discovers the meaning of time. Painfully Canon Compliant

[livejournal.com profile] carvedwood has remixed [livejournal.com profile] beren_writes Corruption sequence. You can find it HERE. It's from Draco's POV and is utterly brilliant.

Also - anyone remember the post asking for IC responses? Someone posted about being Aberforth and his goat and propositioned me! *giggles* What's a wookiee to do?

This is especially for [livejournal.com profile] kabale as I think that is the friend that will get the most enjoyment out of this - a music pimp. There's a band here in the States called She Wants Revenge. They're like a mix of Joy Division and Bauhaus with a bit of a dance beat occasionally. It took an hour but Tear you apart. This song is awesome. The song that pwns me will hopefully be uploaded tonight.


A rant about drivers )

wook77: (Heh - Trance)
First - I hate Valentine's Day with their stupid hearts and stupid cards and stupid flowers and stupid love songs. I especially hate flowers. How can someone hate flowers? It's easy - how romantic is it to say "I love you" with something that is going to DIE and DECAY in a few days? That's not reassuring to the lasting nature of the relationship.

Second - Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] jehnt for the virtual flower! YAY for that! Virtual flowers are MUCH MUCH MUCH better than the real stuff cause it's not going to die. *loves*

Third - Romance - yeah, that's a hard prompt. I'm not in a romance type mood. I'm in an angst, no happy-ever-afters type mood. So, [livejournal.com profile] hd_365? You're kicking my tailbone this week. Thank the maker for [livejournal.com profile] anael who sent me a ton of romantic stuff to listen to. Especially as my idea of romantic music right now is the Dixie Chicks "Goodbye Earl".

*uses new trance icon* yeah, that about sums it up.

Although, if you do want a fantastic read - check out [livejournal.com profile] coffeejunkii's series - Broken Glass. I can't be pantsed to find the link because I'm on dial-up and am tired but (thanks to [livejournal.com profile] coffeejunkii for getting me the link)... it's a brilliant read. The whole series is well done and I'm hoping the "The End" at the latest installment meant "the end" of that installment and not of the series.

First - thanks for the comments on my mopey post. Peche went to sleep at 3:15pm CST yesterday. It was very peaceful.

Second - I've changed my layout again. I don't like it but I didn't like the other one either. Anyone good at coding and be willing to help me out? I'll pay with fic or really shitty art. Honest. I'll write any pairing for a layout that I like for more than a month.

Moving on... I've recently noticed a lot of things that annoy me when people are advertising their stories and/or art. So - a mild but long rant about what makes me read or not read a story.

Explain it to me )

Now that I've completed this, I might just get back to writing as I'm actually working on Voice in the Dark and my first [livejournal.com profile] hd_365 fic. I'm every other Thursday and I'm *squee*-i-fied about being invited to do this.

Err, yeah, and I'm just putting this out there. I hate wank. I hate wank that is hidden behind anonymous comments. I hate wank that is hidden on instant messages. I hate wank when the wankers don't see that they're the ones causing the wank and the source of the wank and the continuation of the wank. I hate wank that is caused by people who feel that, in a large group, only they have the right to make major group decisions because the actions are carried out only by their characters. I hate wank that is caused by hypersenstive little girls who feel attacked by someone disagreeing with them.

WTF?!

Dec. 7th, 2005 02:12 pm
wook77: (OMG WTF)
Anyone know what the hell flew up Yahoo's ass that they decided to delete a huge amount of groups?

The Harry_Potter_Slash group is gone, as is glassesreflect. As is a variety of other slash groups that I can't remember for the life of me.

Seriously, WTF?!

Finally, a couple of pimps... [livejournal.com profile] star_dancer54 has some awesome icons HERE! mmmm, mine.

[livejournal.com profile] tiredofwired has an unbelievably HOT drawing of Halloween!Harry HERE!

Check them out and show the love!

That's it, folks, enough of RL, back to your regularly scheduled H/D lives.
wook77: (Nero is his Hero by petulant_god)
A few posts ago, I joked about the website God Hates Shrimp. It is a work of parody of the extreme right wing of the US.

Today, I read in [livejournal.com profile] emmagrant01's lj about a law being proposed in Indiana. I followed the link to [livejournal.com profile] elke_tanzer's journal and found out that this is NOT a work of parody. This is not a joke.

Instead, this is the Taliban infiltrating the US. This is the subversion of freedom and democracy. This is scary.

This insanity has quite a few pieces I'd love to dissect, but instead, I'll just make one point. It's tough limiting myself to just it but here goes anyway.

The proposed law states (to quote the above article) Some of the required information includes the fertility history of the parents, education and employment information, hobbies, personality descriptions, verification of marital status, child care plans, letter of reference and criminal history checks.

A description of the family lifestyle of the intended parents is also required, including individual participation in faith-based or church activities.


Religion Makes Great Parents )

It's time's like these that I'm really glad that the ACLU exists. I've been wavering on whether or not to join because of different stances that I'm not too sure I agree with. However, their vow to fight this just finished swaying me over. Thank God (and yes, I'm Christian) I live in Arizona. Hopefully the insanity stays contained in a small area and we can go in and treat these delusional people with medication before the law passes.

I'm going to join in on urging all of you to contact this nutjob. You can contact her through the government's website HERE. Her email is s32@in.gov.

To quote [livejournal.com profile] emmagrant01 - "fuck you, fuckers".
