because verocious made me...
1. Tell me one thing you love about me.
2. Tell me two things you love about yourself.
3. Look through the comments...when you see someone you know, tell them three things you love about them.
4. Do this in your journal so I can tell you what I love about YOU - and if you've already done it, tell me so, so that I can go back and give you some love.

This is getting borderline ridiculous.
Why can't real life take a break so I can continue on uninterrupted in my fandomy little world? Would that just be too much to ask for?
Apparently so. I haven't written much more lately. Which should come as no surprise. I'm also a month behind in my betaing. ><
On the plus side, I have managed to draw a nice picture of Dom with my tablet.
On the minus side, my laptop is now so fried that it makes getting on the Internet to post it quite impossible. We'll see...
However, one thing I'd like to mention is that the most wonderful of wonderfuls, puddle_took made me the most adorable giftart ever.
Dom and Billy
I have these amazing friends that I really don't deserve. It's funny, that way. :D

Man.
I'm so rezzed from the dead. Really, quite ridiculous. and in celebration, i shall now display my incongruent capitalization skills. whee.
Anyway, in more celebratory-type-things, I suppose I should post something, yeah? I just feel obligated. So that would make this an obligatory-celebratory post. Excellent.

crowley, aziraphale and the bentley belong to the wonderful and extraordinary mssrs. gaiman and pratchett. without them, i’d be a lot saner today.
many thanks to my lovelyish friend elvishwhore for the wee!beta. because, really, what would i do without you to correct my crowleyisms?
( 'No one was hurt,' he mumbled, silently cursing the offending geriatrics. )
And another fic from a pretty obscure movie with no actual fandom that I'm aware of...
arachnid
highway

slash! yey
pilot, jack and cassie are not mine, nor are jack gyllenhaal, jared leto and selma blair. and really, the plot's not mine, either. i just twisted it a little. because all that wonderful subtext should have culminated in something.
no beta, so all mistakes are mine, darlings. and i know pilot's face paint was washed off at that point. *wields artistic license*
( part one: he feels like mercury )
( part two: dominoes and diesel )
( part three: a turning point )
I might post three songs later. Then again, I might not. We'll see. :)

( it’s Elijah who’s the real alien )
on a completely unrelated note, i just got back from spiderman2. i think i have a new fetish obsession. or something. it was just so good. and has nothing to do with the fact that tobey maguire is the ridiculously geekishly talented and good-looking god of sex. nope.
(and i completely didn't notice how he was so ridiculously geekishly talented and good-looking in the first spiderman, or in seabiscuit, or in the ice storm.)

Hey, icons. Not great by any stretch of the imagination, but they're passable. If you decide to use one, then credit to aliasverve would be much appreciated ;) Sometimes I get a little carried away with one particular icon and have to make ten versions of it... just a warning. If you desire blanks, let me know. I have blanks for all of them. Or at least, I should...

Nicked from elvish_whore. Will post something fic-like a bit later, possibly. You already know I'm a lazy arse.
01. Who are you?
02. Are you trying to kill me? Why? What the hell did I ever do to you?
03. If you're not trying to kill me, can you lend me $500?
04. What planet are you from, anyway?
05. How much do you weigh on that planet?
06. Describe me in one word. Preferably a smell.
07. Do you want to lick my toes?
08. If I gave you a dollar, would you clean my house?
09. What would you wear while cleaning my house, you naughty girl/boy?
10. What have you done to deserve a spanking?
11. How long have you been reading my LJ?
12. If you've never commented in my LJ, why not?
13. Ever wanted to tell me something but couldn't because you could be arrested?
14. Are you going to put this on your LiveJournal and see what I say about you?

ah. aside from that, this is my last week of school, so methinks we shall be seeing an increase in the writing. will also have time to dink around with tablet and make icons and such. fun times.

yeah. i told you it was hilarious.
on a completely unrelated note, i'm sort of pissed off at xanga. i went over there because the layouts were so cool and all, and then i find that those aren't free, either. and then, just because they're coldhearted bastards, they give you a trial run of the paid version, just to make you really like it. and then, oh, hey, your trial period is up. sorry sucka.
*cries bitter tears of defeat* as with a european accent, i am quite sure that my life would be much improved if i had a paid account.
thus ends my bitching for today. teenage angst, know thy face. (that would be my face, just in case you're sort of slow.)

omfg. attack of the rl post.
yeah, i couldn't have written this before. it's just been a farked up week. had this bigass japanese project that i had to whip up in about seven days; a comic book based on tonari no totoro (which is adorable and much better in the japanese version.) any how, i was working on it with strange friend no. 4 (leanne) and we had a nice little schedule worked out all nicely and stuff and things. problem is, i'm a horribly big perfectionist and there was really no way i could manage to draw out the entire movie in that amount of time, once you factor all my other shit in.
so, my tablet. it came and i was all 'yay this will make things easier.' unfortunately, i bought it with money from my dad's house, and he wouldn't let me take it to my mom's. many tears were shed over this, which i suppose is a big thing for me because i'm very laid back (see also: unemotional) about things. and then it turns out i didn't even really need the tablet because, as i was unused to using it, it would have taken me much longer to draw. (but now i'm really liking it, with the photoshop and painter and all.)
so... yeah. it doesn't sound like much, but it basically snowballed and started including all sorts of other issues that have been lurking around for a while. you know, thinly-veiled insults start flying between the exes, and then the stepmom and the boyfriend get involved. i tell you, my families are the most un-dysfunctionally dysfunctional families i know. pretty much. that's the great thing about divorce, i'm sure.
but for some reason, i'm not mad anymore. i think i'm actually incapable of holding a grudge. it's weird. like i said, laid back.
okay. enough bitching. homework time.
ohshit i submitted my polyfic and it was supposed to be at least 1000 words. uh, more like, 250?

All right, kittens. Listen up or you might miss out on one of the best fics in the fandom. And I'm not exaggerating.
puddle_took is an absolute godsend, in my opinion. If you're not too familiar with her, I'll quickly fill you in. She's so very nice, she writes some amazing Monaboyd and Merry/Pippin and she will rock your socks off. Ten times over.
With that said, I am telling you all to read Somewhere Beyond the Sea. It doesn't matter if you don't like Monaboyd, because this story *will* make you like it. And if it doesn't... well, you're hopeless :D Nine parts: she's written eight thus far. Unless you're super sekrit speed reader, it will take you a while to get through. And, if you're anything like me, you're not going to want to stop reading it. At all. So, while I urge you to hop over asap, you should probably make sure you've got a block of time on your hands. Or something.
Prologue to Chapter Three
Chapter Four and Five
Chapter Six and Seven
Chapter Eight
Okay. Now I'll get a little bit into just why this story is so amazing. First of all, the whole story is a trip: just when you think you know exactly what's going on, something slightly changes, someone says something, and you start questioning again. It's amazing, because you're put into Billy's situation: you hear what he hears, you see what he sees, and that makes him so much more real. Instead of being the omniscient reader, you're thrown right into the mix and it really just *works*.
And the writing itself. Wow. Really wow. Vivid descriptions without the dreaded "purple prose," similies and metaphors that actually make a whole lot of sense and make you wonder why you never saw it there before. So much originality; even on the rare occasion that a cliche sneaks it, Puddle writes it so differently, it doesn't even matter. And I'll tell you what I told her about the dialogue:
"Something else I love about your writing (aside from being so eerily realistic and full of strange little details that make me stop and go, "I/I've do/done/seen/said/heard/felt that!") is that the dialogue is clever and funny, but at the same time it's real. Jokes *do* fall flat, people *do* say things that don't necessarily make sense and they don't always mean what they say. And you work that in so perfectly: it's not sitcom-script, but it's not immature, cheesy banter. I think you need an award, or summat."
And I really mean just that. It's not witty and knee-slapping 24/7, but it never falls so flat as to be corny. It's just very real. Even when she's dealing with somewhat of a super-natural element, it still blends into the rest of the story so well. Read it; you'll soon see what I mean.
Last but definitely not least, her characterizations are the most incredible things in the history of ever: her Billy is a bit confused, very adorable, and... well, I guess 'human' would be the word I'm looking for. He's not a twelve-year-old girl, he's Billy. So Billy, in fact, that it's hard for me to imagine him any other way. He's unsure, he makes mistakes, berates himself for making them; he's insecure, but then he's confident, he's lost and at the same time, knows what he wants. Mostly. And Dom... god, where do I start? Dom is just killing me in this. He's so rich and layered, like a really good cake. Except, unlike Dom, we get all of the cake. Just... ah. Pud makes me incoherent liek wo. And Elijah; he's not the bad guy, but he's not always the good guy either. His motives aren't always very clear, but at the same time you feel for him. (And her Orlando is the most adorably funny thing ever.)
So. In case my ramblings haven't convinced you... I'll tell you once more. You will thank me for this. (Well, not really. You'll be thanking Puddle for writing it, more like.)
Okay. Done now. ^^
