I have no idea why I want so badly to do this meme all of a sudden. Possibly because I am writing two fics right now I never, ever thought I'd write. And I want to hide from them some more.

Name or describe a few fics you think I will never, ever write. In return, I will attempt to write a snippet of one of them.

P.s. Yes, I am sick! But getting better.

[livejournal.com profile] my_daroga, you are a special one. For you are insightful and thoughtful and I know I can always share both my thinky and personal thoughts with you. And you are beautiful and kind and care and stuff. Plus you are original and different and creative and inspiring in that way. You are in my thoughts often. You're a dear friend, and I am a pile of mush.

I have a whole bunch of comments to reply to and I also want to say, "hello [livejournal.com profile] seraphcelene, you're the bestest ever, more later but I thought you should know that today and every day."

My Interests List on my userinfo page interests me. In a completely neurotic, scary way. Also I'm having trouble sleeping, and I think WEIRD things when I try. )

So! Tell me about your interest list, how you came up with it, what you add to it, when you add to it, why, how you think of it as. Talk about some of your favorite interests or what you think some of your more interesting interests are. Talk about other people's lists, how you think of them, whether you look at them, what the most interesting lists you've seen are, and stuff. Talk or ask me about mine, tell me I'm a spaz, go off on something random, love me, fear me! Though I am perfectly aware about how much of a spaz I am.

I completely feel like your kept girl. Thanks so much.

I don't know if she's around to see, but everyone should know this: [livejournal.com profile] crazydiamondsue is a spectacular person, in a fannish sense, in a good hearted person sense, in an orange sense, in a good taste sense, in a talented sense, in a fuzzy feel good sense. She margaritas my Mexican dinner, and I'm glad she was born.

Wow, that was really surreal.

I just got fired from my job. Like, two minutes ago, I was told, starting tomorrow, no more job. It was a PRN job which I guess means they used me on an "as needed" basis, which I guess means they can fire me with no warning? Or can you always fire someone without warning? A bunch of other people are getting shafted with Whatever Is Happening too; a bunch of the OR techs were just told they would only need to be there during actual surgery, which means they only need to be there for several hours a week, and some basically don't need to be there any more at all. But it's weird; it's confusing, and everybody except me is really sad but they're not acting that way.

I am not actually sad because this was a very temporary job that I was afraid I was going to get myself stuck in because I was too lazy to do anything about it. But now I'm going to be back in the flaily I-don't-know-what-to-do mode, the one where I know an English major can get jobs that pay, but I don't want to do anything except write, get published, be a big movie director, tango in Argentina with [livejournal.com profile] seraphcelene, open a bakery with my friend, be a big time editor, be a professor, study in India, start a cultural renaissance with my brother and s-i-l, live with nuns in the Alps, ride elephants in Malaysia, get a cabin in a woods somewhere and be creepy, be in a poet/author circle like the Beats or the Romantics or something, make a POTO movie with [livejournal.com profile] my_daroga, establish my Universal Theory Of Fiction, touch people's lives, and eat ice cream.

I'm sure your thoughts are with the families of the victims of VATech, as mine still are.

But this is done; I don't want to work on it any more, and maybe it will take the mind off for a moment for one or two of you. (Not that it's particularly heartening, I should mention.)

Please mind warnings.

27 Things That Have Made Me Happy Today. Before 2pm! )

So, what's going great? What's going down? What's all around? I'm putting on a virtual kettle of tea.

-Is it so wrong of me to want a story with Connor and Angel, where the young, hip barista thinks it so sweet that someone as young, hot and rich as the football-shouldered pale guy in leather still takes his 70-year-old blue-eyed grandfather (he looks like Peter O'Toole. Is that wrong?) out for coffee every Tuesday?

-There's nothing weird about wanting Faith to have a passel of brats and for all of them to call their mommy's best friend, "Aunt Buffy". And for mommy and Aunt Buffy every once in a while to kiss in the laundry room, Faith sitting on the dryer with her legs around Buffy, asking, "The sheets clean, yet?" Buffy pulling away and finding the fabric softener and saying, "Yeah. You cleaned up real good." See. Not weird.

-And if Buffyverse really were to go all Round Table, wouldn't Buffy actually be the one who's King Arthur? Is it so wrong that this probably makes Spike Guinevere? Faith would be Morgan Le Fay, and Willow is obviously Merlin.

-Spike, self-portrait.

Dana drew some pictures small,
scribbled her crayon Watchers.
They beat her, drew her blood
got dripped, down a line of Slayers.
Might've been Fred who drew her
out of hell, on the wall;
Might've been Xander who knew her,
Watched her crayon/pencil it all in.
Willow who fucked her, made her
over Buffy who made her fuck,
or Angel made her Dru.
And when you looked at all those pictures,
small, you saw
she drew them all of you.

I love to write.

Even when nothing goes right and I have to tear it all apart and it's not coming to me and I can't ever be as good as I imagine and I can't go to sleep at night because of it and I stress about never publishing original stuff.

I love it. More than just about anyone or anything in the world. I love it like that.

Hey, for those of you who don't care, which is most of you, Andrew Lloyd Webber is writing a sequel to Phantom of the Opera. The sequel's apparently going to be based on a book (read: published fanfic) called The Phantom of Manhattan, by Frederick Forsythe.

I have read this book, courtesy of [livejournal.com profile] my_daroga, who said it wasn't right to spend money on the thing. I was a trifle worried because even though I wish I hadn't spent money on Kay (author of another published POTO fic), I still like owning it. But I've come to the conclusion [livejournal.com profile] my_daroga was right. I don't need to own The Phantom of Manhattan. But in case I ever need to refer back to it, I've made a mini-version.

Note to self: Yoshitaka Amano.

He's the dude who did the artwork for the Final Fantasy III booklet. I recognized his work immediately.

The reason this is so important to me is I used to stroke pictures like this all through my youth. Which is possibly why this is what people look like in my head. If I bother to look at the people in my head which in general I don't. But this is what you might look like. Especially if you are an original (particularly fairytale, fantasy or sci fi) character of mine. But it's possible this is what you look like--yes you, internet person. Seriously. Some of you have looked like this in my head. Not in so much detail. But you might have very swirly clothes. Or be Asian.

Ahh, I'm happy I found this guy. And now I have to go buy my sister-in-law his book about fairies. I need to go buy myself that book. Yay. I feel like I discovered part of my personal history.

Just for the record, this journal is a public debate forum. It is not my semi-private space, unless I lock posts. It is not my personal area. It is not my home.

That said, I agree with this post, and others like it. The gist of it is that her journal is her semi-private space, it's her personal area, it's her home, and you best be careful of her feelings and courteous if you're a stranger just wandering in.

How being nice is lame, and I feel like I shouldn't have to do it, and why I do it anyway. )

So I was talking to [livejournal.com profile] my_daroga the other day and we each thought of something there needs to be fic for. Mine was silly but when I couldn't get to sleep last night in PMS-induced insomnia, I decided there were all sorts of things that should have fic, and don't, and if there is you need to point me to it, and then I need to whine about how there's not enough of it.

Fandoms, canons, and subjects there should be fanfiction for:

MICELLANEOUS )
GREEK MYTHOLOGY FIC )
DEAD AUTHORS (AND SOME PHILOSOPHERS) )
HISTORICAL FICTION/FACT CROSSOVERS WITH BUFFYVERSE )
THE LEGEND OF KING ARTHUR )

And before you say it, yes. Yes, I do have a lot of time on my hands.

1. I love that song, Sexy Back, by Justin Timberlake. Almost as much as I love Draco Malfoy but it's even more confusing and twice as shameful. *hangs head; feels alone*
2. I didn't know All Along The Watchtower. And yet I <3 Dylan.
3. I recently got Loudon Wainwright and Warren Zevon mixed up.
4. I love that song, Careless Whispers. You know, the one they play in the dentist's office, the "I'm never gonna dance again / guilty feet have got no rhythm" one. George Micheal, I guess. The one redeeming thing about it is I love the Ben Fold's/Rufus Wainwright version, not so much the original.
5. I didn't know "Because" was by the Beatles.
6. I wanted to use a lyric from "Teach Your Children" for a title of dirtybadreallyreallyreallywrong pornfic.
7. I listened to Pop Goes My Heart on the way to work today and was loving it so much, I was constructing a Angel/Buffy, Angel/Cordy, Angel/Connor vid in my head. About Angel's heart going pop. Yeah. That.
8. In fact pretty much all I think about when I hear songs these days are, would that make a good vid? or: would that work in a character mix thing? I have a really great Irish sea chanty thing by Ween that so needs to be Liam's theme song.
9. I burned a cd for [livejournal.com profile] seraphcelene, but I haven't sent it to her yet. Three months ago I also burned a cd for my s-i-l. I haven't sent it to her yet.
10. I lose at music! I really really lose. I never know what's going on. Unless [livejournal.com profile] stoney321 put it on a Connor mix.

eta: 11. And yesterday, as I was shocked to discover, I don't even own a Sound of Music soundtrack. Huh?

Synth, a comic by [livejournal.com profile] astridv and [livejournal.com profile] yhlee. Post NFA AtS/Fray cross-over.

If you haven't already seen this, go. You don't have to be familiar with Fray. The plot is quick and clean, but also touches on some of Angel's deepest issues. The artwork is truly amazing, and really made me feel just a bit of Angel's world again.

In other news, [livejournal.com profile] seraphcelene did an awesome Cordelia ficlet, and [livejournal.com profile] stoney321 did boarding school RPS.

I live a happy life.
