All the RomCom of Qi Xi

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 tryntje as nothing will be posted publicly.

Right. Back to writing. Anyone wanna distract me? I don't think yodels is around with her giant stick of deadlines to smack me.

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 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.
