pants to match

Ahoy, there! Wow, this feels weird. Um, okay, it actually hasn't been all that long, I guess, but it seems like it's been really long. Anyway, I've finished my novel thing, thank fucking fuck. Man, that took forever, right? It's about 56 thousand words, and I've been mainlining the Lemonheads - god, the Lemonheads, shut up, they're kind of fantastic, okay? - because my main character has a thing about Evan Dando, and I can't think of a title for the life of me. It's, like, freaking impossible to name. My working title is "Whatever" so that is no help at all, and starflowers has told me adamantly that I cannot actually name it "Whatever." Darn it. She's also trying to convince me to try and get it legitimately published - which will be so so hard - even though my main character swears like a sailor and is generally an asshole. A lovable asshole, but there it is.

WHATEVER.

There are things finally afoot again over at sodamnskippy. I will hopefully be participating in our Christmas gift exchange, we shall see. Also, we're in the Urban Dictionary (under "Skippy"), which I think is hilarious.

I have not seen Inception, however I can't stop reading the Arthur/Eames fic. It's all extremely amazing. I never thought I had a well-dressed man fetish before, but I just want to read pages and pages about Arthur's suits, is that weird?

I'm also reading Kakashi/Iruka Naruto fic. That--I have no idea how I got so very into that, since I have no sense of the canon whatsoever. I was just innocently trolling delicious for werewolf fic one day and came across a fun Naruto fandom one, and then I got sucked into a whirling vortex of ninjas, idek.

In three days I will be leaving for St. Thomas until the 5th. I'm very excited to get away from here and my zoo, even though they will all be missed horribly. I will be living it up under the sun, snorkeling, reading fanfic on my kindle, being pestered into hikes and fishing trips with J, it's gonna be awesome.

ANYWHO: I'm not actually here, this is all an illusion *wavy hands* (feel free to let me know what you've been up to anyway).

Anyone got a copy of Cool C's Glamorous Life they could upload for me? Pretty please?

So I've realized the reason I can't write fic right now - I'm way too invested in my original fic, and I can only write one story at a time, so my guys are gonna have to finish their story first. I'm at 21k and it just keeps going and going, so it looks like it'll be a while! In the meantime, I'll probably continue to be extremely boring, sorry.

In other new, I am finding nothing interesting in fic-ville to read, either, but I'm on a werewolf kick, so I'd be delighted if you guys could rec me stories where one or both of the main characters are werewolves, in any fandom at all, even ones you don't think I read in (although I read in so much!). WEREWOLVES. THEY'RE HAIRY AND FUN.

guys, okay, I am SERIOUSLY BORED with fandom, this is a tragedy!! How do I rekindle my love? I can't even write anything, it's just steadily getting WORSE. Maybe ask me questions about past fics? Any fics at all? Any fandom?? Whatever you want to know??

I'm also trying my hand at something original because starflowers is being encouraging and apparently I like writing pointless stories about kids in highschool, but who knows when I'll finish it, it's only about 13k words right now, and nothing has happened AT ALL.

UGH.

Because it's totally not going anywhere in my mind, but there needs to be more Joe/Bob in the world, right? Give me lame high school ideas that will go with this!

( Joe normally doesn’t have any trouble making friends )

So I could write a Mike/Kevin tragic nanny au, where there are parental deaths and angst and strained sibling relations, and where Kevin is lost and raising a kid that isn't his and living on Joe's couch.

I could also write a high school au where Bob lives out of his car and has a secret crush on Bill Beckett. Possibly Bob has an abusive uncle, and everyone thinks Bob's silent but deadly, when really he's just a cuddly teddy bear, and Frank's the new kid who makes himself Bob's instant BFF.

Neither are going anywhere at the moment, though :(

So my mom and me saw Date Night on Saturday - possibly the funniest movie I've ever seen. I laughed so hard my voice was hoarse and my stomach hurt. Those two should always be in movies together. ANYWAY, you know shirtless Mark Wahlberg was a highlight, even with his weird hair, and it totally got me hankering for a Bill Beckett/Mark Wahlberg fic - I have no idea why! It just HAPPENED! So check this:

For some reason, Bill ends up having a part in a movie! He has no idea what he's doing! But he's, like, I'll try anything once, and there are strings pulled and things happen and call-backs or whatever, and suddenly he finds himself cast as a college student in a cops & robbers movie called The Ride Along. He gets to grow a mustache, because his character, see, is a criminal justice major who's riding along on cop beats - traffic mainly - and he's in the back seat of two cops (like Kevin James and Sean Murray) and, um, I don't know, they get out for some reason, and Bill's still locked in the back when the cop car is hijacked! by Mos Def and Mark Wahlberg!! Thieves of some sort!! and what happens is an epic road trip/chase ala Smokey and the Bandit/Tommy Boy/Men at Work - there is singing of The Rainbow Connection at some point. It's a comedy! And I put entirely too much thought into this fake movie instead of Bill's epic and inappropriate crush on Mark Wahlberg and how he handles working with him.

I can't stop sneezing.

That is all.

So I've got writer's block. Seriously hardcore writer's block, it's so bad.

I've also got a shiny new TV in the bedroom, plus a DVR box, and since the bedroom is basically my domain, I've been spending a lot of time watching Criminal Minds. A LOT. I did not realize I liked crime shows, but Criminal Minds is on approximately fifty million times a day, and I've been taping all of them. I've formed an attachment to Reid, it's like he doesn't sleep or eat, he's all pale and elastic and there's these constant zombie circles around his eyes - I ask you, how is that attractive? And yet it is! I just want to bundle him up in blankets and feed him soup and pet his shiny hair.

I have also be reading Criminal Minds fic - and before you ask, no, I will not write it, I don't write in a lot of fandoms I read in - which has led to me reading NCIS fic, which has led me to watching NCIS the show, which I refuse to tape, because it's on just as much as Criminal Minds, and if my DVR is constantly taping, then I'm unable to watch anything else. I'm just going to wait until I catch up on CM, and then I'll start NCIS. I am obsessive about these things.

In other news, I thought my iPod was dead, but apparently I just let it run out of battery life? I don't know how that happened, I think maybe my charger wasn't plugged in right.

AND, here is your random trivia thingy of the day, week, month, however long I go again before posting, who knows -

Before she was Designing Women's Julia Sugarbaker, she was on Different Strokes, and had a ginger-haired TV son, Sam. Sam and Arnold got into all kinds of shenanigans, including getting kidnapped by a pedophile, talking to KITT and blowing up a movie set, meeting Mr. T. And around the same time, Sam appeared on an episode of Dukes of Hazzard, as a little kid who done lost his dog. Now, the fine folks over at Dukes of Hazzard apparently didn't think Sam's adorable southern twang was adorable enough so they DUBBED HIS VOICE with the person who did the voice for Cindy Lou Who in TV's The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. It was strange and mystifying.

These are the things I remember. Along with Webster BURNING DOWN MA'AM AND GEORGE'S APARTMENT and the creepy talking ventriloquist dummy in ALF. The 80s were kind of fucked up.

Gotta cheese it, folks, talk to you later.
