When life hands you lemons, slash them with limes

HI INTERNETS! HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

How's things? I've been on sort of an unofficial hiatus due to a bad mood of indeterminate origins (though I suspect it's mostly a February funk). This is about the time of year where I'm all, "OKAY I AM DONE WITH YOU NOW, WINTER!" Anyway, avoiding people when I'm grumpy = fewer apologies I have to make later for moody jackassery. :D I did go out with some friends IRL over the weekend and I'm feeling much more cheerful. \o/

Since I have been away, you get an infodump of randomness!

♥♥♥
This made my morning. How are they all so adorable? Lol @ Jared and Misha. It kind of makes me want to write fic where Misha is constantly trying to one-up Jared and every time Jared is all, "AH HA, PWNAGE!" and Misha's like, "How does this keep happening???" and then Jared tops the hell out of him and Misha's like, "OIC now..." and is okay with the pwnage as long as it comes with sexytimes (he still slyly tries to get the better of Jared, but Jared is only smugly amused by it).

I also love the quote about "Miss Genevieve" and possibly got a little wibbly and naw'd out loud. Seriously, they're such a charming group. It makes me a happy fangirl.

♥♥♥
In other delightful news, I discovered that Spartacus is available for streaming on Netflix. GUESS WHAT I'M DOING THIS WEEK?

♥♥♥
I recently started following the Daily Show's twitter and clapped with delight at this tweet:

Bored Hiatus Tweet 3: Spent the day looking for the Cash Cab. #onlyfoundrealones

I was just talking about Cash Cab!! Also, A++ for clever hashtag usage.

♥♥♥
In an attempt to alleviate grumpiness the other day, I fell down a rabbit hole of JDM youtube vids and ended up rewatching all of his Craig Ferguson appearances. I sort of ship them in that way where I don't really want fic, but OMG so adorable! Then I watched some of Kristen Bell's appearances and now I really really really want JDM and KB to be on Craig Ferguson at the same time and watch them all chat and be hilariously adorable and awesome together. Dear Universe, my birthday's coming up...

♥♥♥
I was watching Friends earlier and was ready to post this big huge rant about how much I hate the trope of love triangles where the two who are "meant to be" basically act like horrible people but it's okay because they're MFEO!! But I don't have the energy now. Sigh. Maybe some other time.

♥♥♥
Justified came back last week!! HOORAY!! I enjoy this show because it is fun and amusing, but mostly because Timothy Olyphant is a Sir-ish HOTASS. This is why I watched Deadwood as well. I am predictable, what can I say?

♥♥♥
Hmmm, okay. I think that's actually it. Happy V-day to you all! Single or taken, it's a good excuse for a little indulgence for yourself and your loved ones. ♥!! I think I'm going to indulge by watching some Spartacus. Nothing says festive Valentine's fun times like boobs and sodomy*. <- Can be taken so many ways...

Spartacus: Boobs & Sodomy TM elizardbits

• The episode of Scrubs with Colin Farrell is one of my all-time favorite things ever.

• I have gotten to the beginning of the Luke/Lorelai romance in my Gilmore Girls rewatch. I don't think I can overstate how much I love them together, especially in the beginning. There's just something about the way he watches her, with this smile like he can't believe how lucky he is, but also a little bit pleased/smug at how she responds to him and it's so sexy and HOT and glorious glorious payoff after seasons of UST and build-up. *___* I don't think I've ever felt so betrayed by a show as when they fucked that all up. (I probably won't rewatch S6 and S7...)

• Related to the above - I think I had a dream that Luke was my boyfriend (and/or I was Lorelai). It was pretty awesome, ngl.

• I have had an earache for the past day and a half, which is not awesome. I spent half the evening last night with the heating pad on it, but really, there's not much that I know to do. *pouts* It makes me grumpy.

• Oh! Oh! You know what else I love? What Not to Wear!! It is so awesome and fantastic and Stacy and Clinton are hilarious and sarcastic, but you can tell that they really want to empower people and it makes me all ♥___♥ Sometimes it makes me cry and/or smile a lot.

• Is it possible to get porned out?

• A friend came over Thursday night, and we watched Inception (FINALLY, okay?). It was conceptually awesome and visually very cool. I don't foresee myself becoming fannishly interested in it, but it was very enjoyable.

Okay, I think that's it for now. I need more coffee...

HI, INTERNETS, I AM BACK!!! I have been too caught up in holiday drinking festivities to get online for like the past week. I was starting to get all twitchy as a result.

I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday/weekend/whatever!! I had a wonderful (if exhausting) Christmas and now I am all ready to do end-of-year memes and make impossible resolutions I have no hope of keeping. GOOD TIMES!!

The first of which is a writing one. I went through and did a rough add-up of my word counts of all the stories I posted for the year (at least the stuff I put up at storiesimakeup) and I wrote around 140k this year. That was without having any real writing goals set for the year (aside from participating in spn_j2_bigbang). Considering I also moved across the country this year, I'm counting that as decent output.

So I'm thinking of doing getyourwordsout this year, but I'm unsure of what sort of goal I ought to set for myself. My writing for the year still falls under their "Modest Level" (150k), but as I plan on focusing much more on writing this year, I'm thinking of doing the 200k? Or 250k? Writing for nearly the whole month of December, I ended up with around 20k, and certainly not all of that was brilliant, so maybe I'd better stick with the 200k. HMMM.

Ahahaha, oh, my fascinating ponderings!! Alas, I do not have time to redeem this entry right now, as I have to go out and shovel snow before it gets completely dark. I hope that those of you also buried in snow are staying warm and safe. ♥!!!

S1 Gilmore Girls with wee baby!Jared is on. OMG he's so adorable and baby-faced!! ♥

Today I went to the dentist to have a couple of small cavities filled. My bottom lip and jaw are both numb (one cavity on each side, naturally) but I did manage not to drool all over myself at the office when I went to rinse my mouth out, so I'm counting it as a win. Also, I got to leave work an hour early. You know you hate you're job when you're all, "I get to leave early to go to the dentist for fillings! HOORAY!!"

My weekend was most excellent, internets, which resulted in a groggy and hung-over Monday for me. Kassie and Amber came down, ostensibly to get some stuff that Kassie still had at the house, but as far as I'm concerned it was to kick it one last time in Nashvegas before I move away. We had a good time and the house is all sad and empty without them. :(

Among the other things, I made them watch the last four episodes of S4 SPN, the gag reels and tricked them into a SAMANDDEANesque Bon Jovi sing-along. I instigated several lengthy discussions about Show, where it started and where it's headed. I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS ABOUT IT, OKAY? I am an awesome friend and beloved by all for my gracious and charming hostess skills. Though, in my defense, all of my DVDs aside from SPN are packed up already.

We also talked about Wincon and I AM EXCITE!!!

You know what else I'm excited about? The impending new season of SPN. OMG, I LOVE this time of TV year. It's so full of ~possibility~ I'm so excited that I made a S1-S5 playlist on my ipod. It has 66 songs. Yes, I do amuse myself. Why do you ask?

Speaking of ipods, I found my old ipod (like one of the first generation ones) that had crapped out on my a couple years ago. So I thought, "Well, maybe I should see if I can reset it now..." and I did and it worked! \o/ I am very pleased about this indeed. I had to restore the original settings, so everything that was on it was wiped clean, but since I couldn't access it anyway, that was no big loss.

I had to rename it, too, so I named it Alot of Music because the thought amused me. What would a music!Alot look like?

Also, for future reference (a future in which I have money), she has a store. DO WANT ALL THE THINGS!! I mean, c'mon, how have I lived this long without this shirt in my life?

Anyway, I have to get back to packing and sorting all the things, and this post is very relevant to my life right now. I'm starting to worry that there's a Hyperbole and a Half for everything in my life, and I'm not sure whether to be delighted or creeped out by the idea. I'm going with delighted.

UGH, numb lip is numb!

I had surprise!houseguest this weekend, which was AWESOME in that I got to hang out with one of my favorite people ever, but lame in that I accomplished NONE of my objectives for the weekend (Well, okay, I went grocery shopping, but that was pure survival instinct. Also, it's FUCKING HOT HERE!! ARGH!!!)

Annnnnnnnnnnnnd now it is past my bedtime. Is it Friday yet?

HI INTERNETS, YOU'RE AWESOME, I'M SORRY WE DIDN'T GET CUDDLETIMES THIS WEEKEND!!! I'll make it up to you, bb, I promise. <3

I'm feeling a bit wretched and vommity tonight, flist! I think maybe it's from the storms that have been passing through all day? We've been having some something wicked this way comes weather ffs.

In the dream I woke up from this morning, I was in a room full of wee baby kittens. My brain, you guys, IDK. Thought I needed wee kitteny distractions? Would prefer JDM to pet on next time, brain. See what you can do about that, thanks.

Anyway, my roommate sent me this link today, to which I said: IT'S LIKE SHE LOOKED INTO MY SOUL AND THEN ILLUSTRATED IT!! But why did she make me blonde?

I might even be mildly embarrassed at how accurate that is if I had the energy at the moment. "INTERNET! FOREVER..." is my new battle cry.

I AM TOTALLY SKIPPING WORK TODAY!! I have actual reasons for this. Mostly that I am, at this point, so incredibly sleep-deprived it's ridiculous. I have not been sleeping well. So I got some sleep this morning, got to hang out with a friend of mine who was in town for the day, both of the good.

Then my internet went down for like three hours and I have officially lost the ability to keep track of all the cuddlefic being written. Y'all keep playing nice with each other and I'll see about doing a master list this weekend.

BUT OMG!!! POSTING SCHEDULE FOR BIG BANG IS UP!! I get to post the first week, which is good because I have NO PATIENCE WHATSOEVER! So, I guess I should start my edits now.

Okay. I haven't eaten yet today. I suppose I should go do that...

HOORAY MENTAL HEALTH DAY!!

I really really love the term "mansplained". So awesome! ♥

Oh, interwebs! I am having a day of procrastinative (is too a word!) laziness. I would like to be writing, but I can't quite seem to make that happen.

Instead, I have done laundry and washed dishes. I also watched The First Daughter on the TV in its entirety. This conversation happened as a result:

me: There's nothing else on.

roommate: Is that the one with Riley in it?

me: Yes.

roommate: That's acceptable then.

me: To be fair, the other president's daughter movie has Mandy Moore in it, so there's really no losing with the genre.

roommate: Good point.

I am full of logics, you guys. You should know this about me. Also, I kind of love Mandy Moore. She's adorable.

Okay, I'm going to go do some actualfax accomplishy things now. Or play approximately twenty-three more games of Bricks Breaking. One of the two...

There's this whole dessert week thing going on at work and tomorrow is my day to bring something in. I am bringing brownies. True, they are pretty much the easiest dessert ever, but also, I really like brownies. They might just be my favorite dessert. And I added mint chocolate chips to make them all festive and shit. WHATEVER, IT'S VALID!

I had a hilarious conversation with my mom today, in which I was mocking her for repeating her stories (mocking is love in my family) and she was like, "Okay, fine. I'm just not going to tell you!" and I was like, "OH NOES, THE SUSPENSE SHALL KILL ME" and she was like, "Nope, I'm not going to say a word" and I was like "CRUEL, CRUEL WOMAN! HOW WILL I SLEEP AT NIGHT?" and so on and so forth and it made me laugh a lot.

So I was like, "I am in a much better mood! I'm good!" and then I went to the store to get brownie fixings and almost cried in the parking lot because of jerkface drivers. Ummmm, okay! Someone needs a nap.

My plan now is to watch all the Chrismukkah episodes of the OC. There is no resisting Seth's Chrismukkah spirit! I think S4 might be my favorite.

Also, here is comment stories of the Dean/Castiel variety that I wrote to cheer kadiel_krieger a couple of weeks ago. Just because! ( Featuring brat!Sam )

OKAY I HAVE TO GO CHECK ON MY BROWNIES NOW!
