quotations
Abandon the search for truth. Settle for a good fantasy.
-Anonymous, and why I write and read

There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.
-Oscar Wilde, and why I read what I read

All happy families resemble each other, each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
-Leo Tolstoy, and why I write what I write

It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do.
-Jerome K. Jerome, and why I love the fandom as much as I do

black
The light by your bed burns brightly, and in the silence of the room you flip the page of a book, but the black ink bleeds into the paper and the lines blur into meaningless jumble.

You stop to rub your temples and you fetch another cup of tea.

You sip, and the aroma nudges your senses awake, so you resume waiting for him to come home, with alcohol in his breath and the marks of other men on his skin. You open the book.

Nothing still makes sense.

It is late, and you are as blind as the night.

Hey all! I've noticed that the Pansy/Luna ship has been slowly gaining popularity over the last few years, so I thought it was about time they got their own community. So check out [info]pansyluna!



I'm also trying to put together a masterlist of all Pansy/Luna fanfiction and fanart, which I have started here. It's a fair sized list so far, but I know for a fact that there's a lot more to add - I used to have a lot of links saved, but unfortunately lost them (including a fanart of Pansy and Luna as mermaids, which was super cute).

So, UK-savvy flisters...

What are your thoughts about coach travel, specifically between London and Leeds? Should I do it/consider it?

I'm planning on getting a 16-25 railcard today or tomorrow (Yes, [info]reposoir, we can get them!), but like, if it's easier to travel by coach, idk...:| I know it's cheaper and takes about twice as much time...I don't know if it's worth paying £20 more to take off two hours of the journey. :3333

+

I am possibly going to have a courtesy name soon. I'll keep everyone updated since this is something that matters a lot to me. :3

+

I discovered Bacardi Breezers Monday night, which was like...a fizzy drink. I like it, but now I am like why would I pay more monies to buy a drink that has alcohol when I could get something non-alcoholic that is just like it. idg the appeal of alcohol, but maybe that's because I have the Asian flush that is potentially carcinogenic and uh extremely toxic to my body.

+

Meme time! :P

If you saw me in a police car, what would you think I got arrested for?

Answer me, then post to your own journal and see what your friends think of you.

OH MY HOLY FUCKING CRAP MY LAPTOP IS BACK

It is baaaaaaaaack. After a protracted period of warranty repairs, exacerbated by my apparent inability to deal with billing problems in a timely manner, my terrible snookums is back. I'm still probably going to continue to be kind of scarce around here, on account of OMGWTFJOBSEARCH and theeeeesiiiiiis. In fact, gratuitous to-do list time! )

And okay, I watched the last two Merlins and my thoughts are simple. )

I keep thinking I want to read or write fic for Ocean Girl, but of what? Because it's a closed canon with this grand mytharc or whatever, I wanna wait until I finish watching it before I start fiddling around. Here are some Ocean Girl bunnies anyway. )

I'm wondering now if I ought to reapply for Yuletide with Ocean Girl. Speaking of Yuletide blips, the Jonny Quest and The Real Adventures of Jonny Quest both have Jessie Bannon on their characters list when she only appears in the latter. I'm only signed up for the former. Is it worth it going back and signing up for both? How much do I want Jonny/Jessie/Hadji OT3 action?

Watched the V pilot. It looks promising, or maybe I just have a huge crush on Juliet Elizabeth Mitchell.

I also have to finish up the '7 days of joy' meme that I started like 2 months ago. The last category is 'whatever tickles your fancy'. Whatever tickles my fancy right now happens to be my favorite things from my 'My Pictures' folder.

1. I am going to write a story called Fire on the Exhale, which is a shooting reference for those who don't spend too much time watching the Military Channel.

2. I don't think I'm doing [info]yuletide this year, which will be the first year since it started that I haven't signed up, but I just don't have it in me. I am kind of sad about this, but I have to prioritize.

3. Dear White Collar,

The idea is that the shows are supposed to get BETTER as you go along, not worse. Each episode from the pilot has gotten progressively less interesting and more bland. Despite popular belief, you cannot hold my interest on looks alone. Looks are meant to enhance, like a very nice hat, they cannot be the sole substance. Fail, man. You also can't magically exchange one minority for another and not expect anybody to notice.

You are on notice. Clean up your act or we're over.

No love,
X

This once again leaves me with ZERO shows until January 12. Oh my god, Cooper and Ben and Lydia hurry up.

4. I am looking for music. I'm interested in trying out anything by Colin Hay (I have waiting for my real life to begin and I just don't think I'll ever get over losing you) and Iron & Wine (I have Sodom, South Georgia, AB's Song, Flightless Bird, and a few others) so, if you have a favorite, please feel free to share it!

I am also looking for Big Brovaz 'Favourite Things', New Edition's Heart Break album, and the Double CD of Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.

I am also looking for a single, straight, hotass, Recon Marine between the ages of 28 and 35, with a brain between his ears, at least one good moral, and who doesn't mind Johnny Cash, Radiohead, Ella Fitzgerald and The Roots on rotation. [Edited for explicit sex acts] Oh, and he needs to be male.

Hey, everybody has to have goals in life.

Hi- I was wondering if anyone's seen slash fic on the movie Appaloosa with Viggo Motenslon and Ed Harris. I thought they had excellent  chemistry and there were some slashworthy scenes and quotes in it. I've searched  but haven't found anything.
Also, has anybody ever seen any slash from the movie Wall Street with Michael Douglas and Charlie Sheen? I know that's an old one,but I've recently seen it again and was wondering if there was anything written about it.
Thanks for any help you can give!

Yesterday I was gonna write more AIWWOW, but then I started listening to "Play Crack the Sky" by Brand New (this song always puts me in weird moods) and took a nap and when I woke up, I wrote this instead. SORRY. Posted because [info]ibroketuesday and [info]strangeandcharm said I should, but I dunno, I've slept on it now and I am still unsure. Whatever. Don't judge me.

Uh, this is going to be a bit embarrassing. Ages ago I asked for a beta reader for a fic, but somehow I never posted the final result. I remember vaguely struggling with some last details, and things led to things, and in the end I simply forgot. I feel really bad about that since my beta-reader did such a great job. Recently, I was reminded of the fic still collecting dust on my hard drive, so I went over it again, and at long last, here it is.

The worst thing you think can happen

Title:The worst thing you think can happen

Pairing:Howard/Peter
Rating:PG-13
Summary:He wouldn't be Peter Malloy if he didn't give in to his feelings and at least try a pass at Howard Brackett, however small his chances of success might be after all that had happened in a certain teacher's life. The story takes place during the last part of the movie.
Words:approx. 4200
Disclaimer:Characters and part of the dialog belong to Paramount. I'm doing this for fun, no profit made.
Notes:Thanks go to [info]tinnean for beta-reading. You have been extremely helpful! All remaining errors are mine.

I've just watched FlashForward 1x07. I won't spoil you but let's just say it crushed me. This show is so damn good and yet so heart-breaking. (Like the last book I've read: Thirteen reasons why. If you haven't read it yet, you should. Honest.)

To lighten up the mood, here's a meme stolen to [info]tsubaki_hime:

Let's take photos! Sometimes, photos are fun! Here are the rules:

- You can ask me up to 5 photos.
- You can ask me about pretty much anything: me, my clothes, my teddy bear, the book I'm reading, whatever.
- If I think your request is insane, I won't do it. But you can try me.

• Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper on their LiveJournal.
• Explain in five sentences why you're using that wallpaper!
• Don't change your wallpaper before doing this! The point is to see what you had on!





lol five sentences. It's an image of Luffy as a samurai from one of the colourspreads in One Piece. I've been using One Piece wallpapers lately, and I was in a Luffy mood, so I used this. I like the colour scheme. :P Unfortunately, there are like no wallpapers big enough for my resolution, so I usually just like centre it because if I tried to stretch it it gets bent out of proportion and ugly :( Also, Luffy is my favourite and he should always be on my screen in some way XD;;;; Both of my computers and my iPod are named after him...
