I think I might have no convictions.

Still not getting comment notifications, but I AM GETTING MY JOB BACK HOPEFULLY. They called and asked if I would be available in January. They'll let me know at the end of the week where I fit into the schedule. Guess I'm too good to let go for very long. Pa-chow!*

In other news, I'm almost all caught up on Heroes now. Just one episode behind! ( Cut for spoilery thoughts, if anyone else was behind )

The fall finale of Glee is on tonight. There won't be a new episode until we're all dead of old age, apparently, judging by fandom's reaction.

Okay, so, here's that fake-memory meme everyone's been doing lately:

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, (even if we don't speak often or ever) please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me.

It can be anything you want - good or bad - BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE.

When you're finished, post this little paragraph in your LJ and see what your friends come up with.

Let's fake-remember all the fake-good times together.

*I don't know. I felt like I needed a sound effect there or something.

ETA: For those of you just clicking in, here's the skinny: this is a rant, so it's not exactly the most coherent thing I've ever written in my life. Yes, it's aggressive and offensive, and perhaps its poor phrasing has clouded some of the things I was trying to get off my chest, so here's the TL;DR version:

1. Warnings are necessary for community posts.
   
2. Definitely warn for rape/consent issues, explicit violence, and child abuse.
   
3. You don't have to warn for other things, but it's not a bad idea.
   
4. You don't have to warn in your personal journal, but I do because I know some of my friends are sensitive to different things.

I think that's an accurate summary of what I was trying to say, at least. I'm sorry if you came across this earlier and were offended by my tone, or my words, or anything that I may have implied. Of course, if you'd rather read the whole motherfucking thing, I left it up here unedited as a testament to my own idiocy. Enjoy it with a grain of salt.

( Rant within. )

Not a poll or anything, but anyone who wants to, please feel free to discuss in the comments. Disagree with me if you want, I won't be hurt or anything. And I wasn't trying to hurt anyone else with this rant; this whole issue has just rubbed me all kinds of the wrong way.

Summer Love Meme!/tippy started a thread for me heeeeeee

I added a few peeps, but I didn't want to be all spammity-spam-spam at once, so I plan to add more later (if you guys don't add each other soon)! Go show some love to anyone you know on there. I've even been commenting on people's threads that I don't know, but I recognize their names.

Also, vote today for sylaire_awards because they close soon.

In other news, I'm going to start a summer series of posts called "Bridey watches shit so you don't have to!" These will be reviews/summaries of movies and TV shows done with... macros. Because I'm mature like that. Already on the docket: some Lifetime-type movies from early in Kristen Bell's career, four episodes of Star Trek original flavor, and a Bollywood flick. I have a Netflix account and library access - does anyone have anything special they don't want to see but would rather have me watch for them?

Also I just saw a post for a gen_ficathon and that sounds like a good idea to me...

Yeah, I know. Another post from me. Sorry dudes and dudettes. I tried writing some stuff for the kink meme but I think I'm porned out. I'm still pretty much a ho for attention, and while I don't want to reveal any of the ones I wrote yet, feel free to guess at any in the comments. That way when the reveal does come, you'll feel like a frickin' champion. If you guess even one correctly I'll even give you a Wheaties box banner that I will make with my non-existent photoshop skills!

( So then I compiled all the challenged left for me in that one meme that went around. )

So I'm too lazy to post an actual "hey new friends" thingy, so here. Go look at that if you're curious.

And now onto ( storytime! )

ALSO NEW FRIENDS because I'm a total comment-whore, go read all my fic ever except the stuff from comment_fic that I can't find again. Oops. But anyway, I've got it arranged pretty neatly, and I hope you'll be able to find at least one or two pairings you like in there.

And hey, since your new friends, you can also laugh at all the high school stuff I've posted here.

Finally, peeps, I've made a separate filter for Dad-related stuff, so if you're interested in knowing the Keith to my Veronica Mars, let me know. If you've been my friend for a while you're already on it, but if you want off let me know, too - it's been a bumpy ride thus far and it ain't getting any smoother, so I don't blame you if you don't want to know.

Also. ashesfor_trees. Write me a play about a devoted Heroes fan who loses their head because of recent plot developments. You could call it A Fan for All Seasons.

Title: Not a fic. Not at all.
Rating: F for "fuck this."
Characters/Pairings: cruiscin_lan, song/drabble meme.
Instructions:

01. Pick a character, pairing, or fandom you like.

02. Turn on your music player and put it on random/shuffle.

03. Write a drabble related to each song that plays. You only have the time frame of the song to finish the drabble; you start when the song starts, and stop when it's over. No lingering afterwards!

04. Start over because you were distracted by cat macros for the first four songs.

05. Spend half the length of each song trying to remember what song it is, and consider reducing your music library.

06. Get frustrated because every song ends when you're in the middle of a sentence.

07. Get frustrated because your drabbles are all less than sixty words long.

08. Spill hot coffee on your lap when you gesticulate your frustration to yourself.

09. Fuck drabbles. Go change pants.

Taking a day off from life today.

1. Finally caught up on Heroes. Some ( thoughts. )

2. I think I'll be so lazy that I won't even brush my hair.

3. I hate that it's Valentine's Day and my boyfriend has to work. We did go see Coraline yesterday and enjoyed it immensely.

4. Craig Ferguson/Kristen Bell/Wolfgang Puck is my OT3. Not even in a sexual way. In my imaginary universe they are all roommates and cook together all the time, or something. But then I want to live there, too. And I'd totally eat a duck liver for $100.

5. I've been playing around in my head with making my own prompt table, only with prompts that are ridiculously specific - not like one-word prompts or even phrases but like detailed sort of scenarios that you can incorporate however you want (as the premise of the fic, as a flashback, as a throwaway line). How funny would that be? Prompts like "There are two characters and they go on a rowboat and one of them brought sandwiches and the other doesn't like them because they are all egg salad and they feed their crusts to the ducks." Or "I think it's about time you made good on that promise we made together in Juneau. I'll get the sandals if you bring the olive oil."

6. If I post a pic of myself, will all of you tell me how ridiculously good-looking I am?

Fo shiz, yo. I almost was like "How did I miss this?" and then I remembered. But anyway. Delayed awesome is still awesome.





Dude. And some seriously awesome fics were nominated, and some seriously awesome fics won. Seriously awesome on all counts, I think. Belated high-fives and fist-pounds all around.

I also got first in the latest heroes_contest drabble challenge, but no banner yet.

Feels like win.

I hosted writing group last night, which served to remind me why I do not have a lot of people over all that often. Although I love everyone in group dearly, it occurred to me that they all drive me a little bit crazy.

( If I ever invite you over, you might want to think twice about coming. )

Okay, ranting done. Time for a fic meme I saw going around my flist awhile ago.

Post a few lines from every fic you're working on.

( Okay, if you say so. )

Gonna reheat some leftovers. I need snackages.
