Okay so there's drama on Tumblr and it involves something I said and it's messy and people are going for blood from the get-go and so I'm going to just talk to myself about it here because I need to talk about it but it's not going on Tumblr because Jesus gods some people turn into rabid wolves who don't even take the time to think before they leap for the jugular. Or maybe I will put it on Tumblr, I don't know. ( Read more... )

In other news, I wrote fic: Complicity (Teen Wolf: Kate, Derek)

Current Mood: crappy

*feeble wave* So, not dead yet. Sick with a cold and sunburnt all to hell, making clothes an instrument of torture, but alive. The Cliffnotes of my life are:

the phone interview went terribly and I sucked and it was aweful

consequently I've been unable to do any more jobhunting, meaning I fail at everything

everything is The Avengers and Loki and everything hurts, but it's a better thing than points one and two so yays

speaking of which, I wrote fanfic drabble thingies for The Avengers because I had questions and feelings

I also finally finished a Supernatural fanvid I started sometime in 2009 \o/

I'm also working on putting seschat and my Sherlock headcanon to sickle_stories. Part 1 of 18 is up.

so it kinda looks like I'm being productive.

So have some thingies:

Fanfic and Meta: Seschat and Sickle's Holmes Bros Headcanon, Part 1 of 18

Fanfic: In the Mountains There is the Promise
Fandom: The Avengers
Word Count: 1,223
Summary: What happened between Loki's defeat and his and Thor's departure? (i.e. I had a lot of questions)

Fanvid Title: More Than This
Music: "Push" by Moist
Fandom: Supernatural
Summary: You have become your father's gun. A study (of sorts) of John Winchester's effect on the boys and the hunter's life. "Is this what you want / what you need / what you wanted me to be?"

Quote of the Day:

greygirlbeast, here

If I have to be someone other than who and what they would have me believe their god made of me (or made me weak enough I might become), if it's all that sick and twisted and sadistic, why would I want to dwell in the house of that lord? Maybe the truest mark of human intellectual evolution is giving our "gods" the middle finger.

Not dead, not dead, calm your horses. Some days I don't even remember I have a Livejournal. *sigh* Anyway, nothing new happening. I've sent out a few job applications, haven't heard back from any of them so far but, eh, *fingers crossed* right?

But enough about soul-sucking things. In the list of things that are making me happy I've recenty added Tom Hiddleston (my tumblr tag), because he's a precious ray of sunshine. In the list I have a lot of feels about I've added Loki (my tumblr tag), because of his sibling relationship with Thor, his identity crisis, his "fuck this, I'm going to be evil" snap, and basically all the angst. Shock of shocks, I know. So there's that.

Still looking for a job, when I can pull myself together enough for it, and as for everything else, meh, same old. Mom was gone for a week, which was nice, and I got along a lot better with my dad with her gone. Things are back to the not-so-good now with the folks.

In other news, I now have a Craig Parkinson situation. That's on top of the Andrew Scott and Benedict Cumberbatch one. "Watch ALL their things" is my battle cry.

As for Supernatural, *shakes fist* I'm hanging on out of stubborness, a love for the characters, and the faint hope that certain minor characters will come back or will have their stories resolved, but all I'm getting is pain. Come on, Show.

Oh, and Game of Thrones Season 2 is coming this week. \o/

So obviously not being successful with the whole "not forgetting livejournal exists" thing but then again, not much to tell. Life continues to trudge along and the highlights are silly fangirling.

Currently I'm all a-squee over Andrew Scott, currently best-known as Sherlock's Jim Moriarty. In fact,

jim_in_westwood's fics are the first I've read in ages. (I've been unable to get into the fanfic-reading groove for ages now.) If Andrew is the sort of things that's up your alley, here's some of my tags and posts on tumblr: ( Read more... )

Another thing getting much squee is a series of headcanon thingies I'm doing with

seschat for the Holmes brother's relationship, youth, parents, and post-Reichenbach days.

Also Richard Siken's poems are my favourite of all things at the moment. I bought his collection Crush when I was in Chicago and it is beautiful.

Good gods, I haven't written here in a long time, and what's worse is that I've had a post and LotD ready - well, constantly being added to - for a week now but just can never seem to get around to doing anything about it besides that. So here, have some post. There's a lot of whining and moping and aaaahing which may explain why I'm not writing much or doing anything at all.

Or you could skip to the photographs, fanart and links. Whatev'.

So, yeah, I'm not dead. Again. ( Read more... )

Quotes of the Day: EM Forster, A Room With a View & John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

There is a certain amount of kindness, just as there is a certain amount of light,' he continued in measured tones. 'We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand, and it is no good moving from place to place to save things; because the shadow always follows. Choose a place where you won't do harm - yes, choose a place where you won't do very much harm, and stand in it for all you are worth, facing the sunshine.

I’m in love with you, and I’m not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things. I’m in love with you, and I know that love is just a shout into the void, and that oblivion is inevitable, and that we’re all doomed and that there will come a day when all our labor has been returned to dust, and I know the sun will swallow the only earth we’ll ever have, and I’m in love with you.

The internet exploded over the FBI's crackdown on Megaupload as well as on the SOPA and ACTA. See collected Tumblr posts about it here.

Key posts are Whoa, guys, they just shut down Megaupload and arrested a bunch of people., I know that everyone wants to be witty and make an impact when they post about SOPA/PIPA/ACTA, and they mostly talk about the things they won’t be able to watch or listen to, but it’s much more serious than that., What is ACTA, Anonymous Goes On Megaupload Revenge Spree, Fake new megaupload: Megavideo.bz, used by Anonymous, Black March campaign, Breaking News twitter

Current Mood: loved

I keep writing posts in my head, in detail, about all the events and feelings and musings I want to share or simply need to set down. But then time passes and I get everything together and then there's nothing to say. I've been quite lax in posting as of late - and by that I mean something like the past few months, honestly - and for that, well, sorry. If anything for the out-of-date links. Whatev'. I hope everyone had a good New Year's Eve and Day, and wish y'all the best for 2012. Smile! If we live through the Mayan apocalypse, we get to look forward to the Croatoan virus.

One reason I've not been writing anything is that I've been spending all my time blissfully mellowed out with Tumblr. Another, more acceptable reason, is that there's nothing to say. Which is of course a lie because I could always pull something out about fandom, at the least. But lately I've not been doing much. Well, I've been finishing compilations (see below). But otherwise not really doing much of anything. Today I went out running after weeks of impersonating a hibernating grub and I started looking for plane tickets to go visit my brother, although that's causing all sorts of anxiety because I don't even know. (The looking-for-tickets thing, not visiting-my-brother, mind.) I did go socializing that one time, with my volunteer-work supervisor, which was lovely and wonderful, but it's quite sad to basically be able to point at a month or a string of months, "That's when I hung out with folk." So I've been Tumblring a lot and watching a lot of television and huddling under every warm thing I can find and generally not thinking about much of anything. Except maybe about how I'm still waiting for a Christmas card from

mrscastielftw to arrive - it's somewhere in the between-homes postage ether - and it's getting to be a long, sad wait. It doesn't help that I've been falling asleep at 4 am these past few days.

Even now I'm drawing a blank, just that I really wanted to post because a) it's the new year and I might as well tell y'all I'm not dead and b) Links of the Day. So there you go. Oh, and memes. Now, excuse me, I have some American Horror Story to streamline into my veins.

Current Mood: blank

I keep meaning to make a post and then I blink and end up somewhere in the deep bowels of Tumblr and it's the wee hours and I don't know what's going on anymore. Sorry about that. It's just so shiny.

So I'm still in "yay, it's the holidays!" mode, made especially easy because I'm a whole country away from my life, staying mellow in just south of Barcelona with my aunt and uncle. I've had the occasional thought of "I should email that person" and "I should send some CVs" but for the most part it's been bliss.

I achieved the purpose of my travel here in under ten minutes. ( Read more... )

I've finally finished sprucing up Nanowrimo 2011 and have been thinking a lot about Nanowrimo 2012 (because of course I'm doing it). I think I've got a better grip on it than this year's, although that's mainly because I'm moving the great big plotty things to the background as flashforwards, so hopefully I'll be better able to manage them and not get bogged down with the bits in between. I'm almost done with the omnibus of my short stories too, which is awesome. I just need to work on the covers.

I haven't watched The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King yet, despite this past weekend having been slated for it. I did, though, watch Person of Interest 1x10 and omg. Finally, finally, I cared about the characters, and that incldues the lead ones. I even got a bit wibbley when Reese's day took a nose-dive into no-good, very-bad, and that was only partly because the screen was punching all my kink buttons. And Finch's mini-litle freak out of guilt was wonderful. And continuity! Yes, show, yes. I think I might start to like you now.

Qutes of the Day:

greygirlbeast, here

Sometimes, I feel it's most important that people know and believe the truth – which is passion, but also no small degree of arrogance, to imagine I know such a thing. But other times, I feel it's best they believe whatever comforts them, regardless of my ideas of truth (and fact), so long as they do as little harm as possible. But that's pretty much the whole of the Law, isn't it? (Rhetorical question.)

* Brown Bird, "Fingers to the Bone"

Current Mood: lazy

Yesterday was my last day at my internship, and goddamnit, if I could network and socialize like I did yesterday when I was saying goodbye... I had lunch with my supervisor and the rest of my team (I was part of a team, yo, although that was more administrative than anything) and then ran around having coffee with different people and basically feeling like:

Today was Day 1 of freeeeeedom (a.k.a. unemployment) and tomorrow I'm off to Barcelona. I'll be back in a week with snazzy things (I will get books) and food, and then I'll continue this mad socializing things. There's a lot of stuff I need to do for that, stuff to get together and the likes, but I'm all headachey and I just managed to clean up the mad amounts of tabs I had open.

I seem to have gone from the saddest little llama, wibbling everywhere, to happy (if a bit "I've got noooothing to say" hence this post). This is weird. And my relationship with my mom's improved. I don't know what's going on.

In other news, I finally watched Alice and ngh, Hatter. (Trailer)

Also I'm slowly trying to get Time 3 spruced up to post (and to send to CreateSpace) but there's been a certain lack of motivation going on. Whelp. Hopefully this week I'll get the missing scene done (it might even just be a paragraph, but writing, ugh) and then it's just a hope and a jump.

So in the fine tradition of plugging my Nanowrimo into Wordle to make a word cloud, here's evidence of just how much Crowley derailed everything: ( Read more... )
