...at least my portion of it will; no doubt my mom started sometime last night.

+ Happy Christmas/Holiday/Saturday/Yuletide/Doctor Who Day everyone! ♥

I know I haven't been around a ton this month due to work, busy-ness, traveling, being sick while traveling, and whatnot, but I just want to say you guys are amazing, I love you the most and I'll catch up with you soon. I wish you all the best things for the rest of this year and in the new one. ♥

+ Someone wrote me a Yuletide fic! With Eyes To See, a faaaaaaaabulous slice of Attolia/Eugenides (from The Queen's Thief series!!!!!!!).

+ Heading down to my folks' house in am hour or two, but I'll probably be back interneting sometime tonight if I'm being honest. (DOCTOR WHO DAY)

+ ETA: OH. GOSH. Teach me to post before 7am again. DUDES, WHICHEVER OF YOU SENT ME LJ TOKENS ANONYMOUSLY, THANK YOU. I wish I knew who you are so I could write you something! If you would like that please let me know what you want to read. ♥ And thank you to everyone who sent me a v-gift, a message on tumblr, a card, or anything like that. I don't deserve y'all sometimes. ♥

+ GUYS I FEEL GOOD TODAY. I have today and tomorrow off work, which is awesome. Annnd I have been somewhat productive this weekend! I finished my [personal profile] camelotremix fic (a day late, lalala), and to celebrate, I went over to the Get Arthur and Gwen Laid Campaign at [livejournal.com profile] freemurmurs and wrote some truly filthy A/G porn. *claps in delight* Porn that I may never actually sign my name to, but still! You should all check out that meme if you feel as strongly as I do that Arthur and Gwen should get laid in as many ways as possible.

MY OVERALL POINT IS, I have written more in the last two days than I have in many months! Since the Gwen LAS, I believe. I'm hoping this means my muse is coming back to me and if it is, I might sign up for Yuletide since I have no other holiday exchanges this year (does anyone know when signups are?). I think that would be awesome.

I have much-neglected yardwork to do today and some other things to take care of, but I might write some more pr0ns today too, just to see if yesterday was a fluke or not. :D Apart from that, I have two beta jobs to finish. I'll send them along tonight, ladies. ♥

+ I haven't checked tumblr much at all this weekend which means it'll probably be overwhelming to catch up on at this point, but apparently there is some kind of campaign to woo people back to LJ by not posting on tumblr for a month? I know some of you know what I mean and have been posting about it, and I have some thoughts on it.

tumblr tumblr tumblr )

When it comes to my f-list, I feel like tumblr is not my problem so much as fandom drift. I've dipped into so many fandoms, mostly abandoned my original fandom, and made friends all over the place, and I don't want to lose any of you that I either talk to now, or have formed connections with through RP and whatever in the past. I still read your posts, and try to comment more, and care about all of you. ♥ You guys put up with my social justice ramblings, my random links, my Merlin posts. You commented when I lost my dog, when my mother was in the hospital last year... whether we still share fandoms or not. I love y'all, and I hope I've been as supportive a presence as you all have been. If you ever feel like we're drifting too far apart we can work on it. ♥
heathershaped: (SCC: do you trust me)
+ Thank you so much to whomever did this! Seriously. The anonymous love meme is great and you should all nom people and check out the index because there's tons of names to love on.

Now, while I'm here, some stuff:

- [livejournal.com profile] mrinalinee on why Outsourced is actually the worst. WORRRRRST.

- Mostly inspired by you guys, I'm thinking of doing a thirty day female characters picspam meme on here and tumblr. Can I actually stick to it and finish it? WE SHALL SEE.

- speaking of female characters, there are very few to speak of in The Social Network. That is why I don't really care about it, Sorkin or no Sorkin. Not because it's the "Facebook Movie" (though I do hate Facebook), not because I am being a Cool Kid who's ~above it all~, but because I'm broke and don't have the extra money to spend on a narrative about affluent white boys and their lives, one that is supposed to ~define my generation~ as a Y-er, but in which I see no evidence of anything relating to my actual experiences. Maybe later, I will rent it. *kanye shrug*

- that last point was for you, Tumblr.

- I do love the soundtrack, though.

- [community profile] undercovers! I love that show you guys; it reminds me of shows like Leverage in terms of adorableness. I watch ach week completely blown away by Gugu Mbatha-Raw's face. If it gets cancelled I shall never recover.

- I am also watching Nikita. Which is actually not terrible, if you ignore the improbable plot and Shane West, whom I can't take seriously. And it's a shame because he really really wants me to take him seriously, you can tell by his Serious Face. [personal profile] glass_icarus likes to call his permanent expression that of a grumpy teddy bear, and I think that fits. HOWEVER, Nikita is great, Alex is great, and I'm two eps behind but looking forward to catching up.

- I was going to review TVD, but it wasn't my favorite episode in a lot of ways, and also I am lazy.

- I'm in a weird mood. kind of grumpy, but very hyper as I've had sugar. That might explain this mess of a post.

- ...that's about it. Happy Monday errbody. ♥ How you doin', say hey if you want!
heathershaped: (Newsies: Never fear)
+ FIRSTLY, [livejournal.com profile] zahrawithaz, expect an email tonight! I honestly don't know how you are even still talking to me at this point. :P Things got a bit nuts and I let some fannish things slide, but I'm on it tonight.

+ I'm exhausted today. I've been sleeping really strangely, and not very much at all, and I'm not sure why.

+ Merlin spoilers are tripping me out and making my brain hurt. And making me bounce up and down a little, ngl.

+ How come half of my f-list is talking about RP lately? YOU GUYS ARE MAKING ME MISS IT. I think enough time's passed that I'm starting forget why I stopped. Which is not good, I had good reasons! I'm not too tempted as a) I don't really have much time for it b) it tends to drain my fic muse even more than usual and c) the characters I want to play are always taken anyway. But still, I've barely even thought about RPing for like a year and now my fingers are slightly itchy.

+ Two weeks and some change left to finish [personal profile] camelotremix. Should be plenty of time, right? Right?

+ I'm so proud and pleased about [livejournal.com profile] onceandfutures! It's gone better than I ever expected. We haven't had too many issues, touch wood, and it makes me really happy to see everyone active and flailing and speculating and squeeing.

+ I... was not crazy about last night's Mad Men. I don't think that's ever happened before!

+ Massive hugs to all of you, I've been reading and I know some of you have been having a rough time recently, and yeah. *hugs*
heathershaped: (True Blood: Lafayette)
First off, Sonoma County CA separates elderly gay couple and sells their home. I don't even, you guys. There are no words. More on what you can do at the link.

+++ So this morning I checked my f-list and had to skip 400 before I was caught up. That's RIDICULOUS, you guys. It's not your entries that are the problem so much as communities and feeds, so I did some trimming of those. Definitely not enough, but I'll worry about that later. Anyway, that means I opened up that long ticky-box list and removed things that way and it's possible I made some mistakes. Since I'm not actually planning on removing any LJ accounts that aren't dead, if I did remove yours by accident, it WAS an accident, and please to let me know so I can re-add you. ♥

+++ There will be True Blood webisodes starting next month, and season 2 is available for pre-order. *\o/*

+++ I am really loving Treme. :D

+++ I haven't been reading much fic lately, which feels weird (and means my 'to-read' tag on Delicious is MASSIVE again). I'll get to it eventually. *g* I've been reading actual books though. Currently reading The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whalen Turner, which is second in a series that is pretty damn entertaining at the moment. In other news, I love my Kindle.

+++ Are people really whining about Amy's minskirts? Because I hope people aren't really whining about Amy's miniskirts. But I read some things that indicate people are really whining about Amy's miniskirts, and that doesn't even compute.

That's all I got. I hope everyone's weeks are off to a good start!
heathershaped: (BSG: Sharon)
+ Thanks to everyone who left me birthday wishes yesterday! Tweets, PMs, emails, v-gifts, facebook wall thingies, LJ posts and comments - I really rather love you guys. ♥♥♥♥ And I had a great day, btw. :D

+ [livejournal.com profile] miakun wrote me happy Merls fic what has Gwen/Morgana and OT4 at the same time! Go looky!

+ Yuletide signups! I'm excited but a little freaked out by them. I have the fandoms I nominated, but there are so many more to choose from and I don't know where to start! I'm going to think on it a bit more before I sign up for reals.

+ That's all for today. I have to give a presentation tomorrow at work, but I only have half a day to work on it because we all have to go to this award ceremony/holiday party/contract renewal celebration thing. Free food and the possibility of heading home early, always good.
heathershaped: (Merlin: Gwen/Angel smile)
+ EEEEEEE. Bill Nighy cast in Deathly Hallows! *LOVES Bill Nighy* They're not saying who he's playing, though. Who do we think, Scrimgeour? Gregorovitch? Hmmm.

+ There is a femslash porn battle happening, people. :D:D:D Leave prompts; the more the merrier!

+ I signed up to write an essay on Teyla Emmagan for [livejournal.com profile] idol_reflection (it's like ship_manifesto, only with individual characters rather than pairings). *headdesk* I couldn't not. Someone (you know who you are *g*) nabbed Gwen before I could. Not that I won't love rambling about Teyla. <333 BTW, no one's done essays for any SGA characters except for John. And there are NO Merlin characters claimed except for Gwen just now, which is a shame. HP is pretty well-represented but there could always be more. :D If you have a favorite character in any fandom, make a claim and spread the love.

+ Finally, [livejournal.com profile] merlin_rarepair is having a Five Times challenge.

Here is where f-list participation is encouraged. Anyone want to leave me a prompt? Merlin/Gwen, Morgana/Gwen, Arthur/Gwen, Arthur/Morgana, Merlin/Morgana, OT4? Five Times/Things/Whatever. Lay it on me.

+ At some point I will talk about real life again.

Being a grown-up still sucks, news at 11.
heathershaped: (Dexter: Dex & Angel)
+ My Twilight [livejournal.com profile] reel_merlin fic is eating my brain. It feels good.

+ Last night's BET Awards were such a hot mess of ego and self-promotion. SUCH A MESS OMG. I really only tuned in because it was supposed to be dedicated to Michael, so I assumed people'd be performing his songs, maybe some of his choreography, whatever. Always fun. BUT NO, NOT EXACTLY. As I mentioned on Twitter last night: In case you wondered, apparently a Michael Jackson tribute = tacking "rest in peace MJ" onto the end of your tired, lame-ass misogynistic lyrics. Oh, and plugging your tour. TWICE. I DO NOT WANT TO SEE YOU IN VEGAS, JAMIE FOXX, GO BACK TO HOSTING THE SHOW PLEASE.

Also, I am officially sick of Beyonce. I really wasn't, before.

Also, also, Maxwell is still hot, and Janet broke my heart. I have very little time for the rest of the people who showed up to make it all about them.

+ Leverage is an awesome show. I spent a small part of the weekend watching that and In Plain Sight.

+ True Blood ROCKED last night. But I can't take the cliffhangers! Why does HBO act all surprised when they manage to retain 95% of their viewership from one week to the next? As if we're not going to tune in next week when you keep cutting us off mid-sentence. Honestly.

+ I hope everyone's doing well and getting their weeks off to a good start. Welcome to new friends from various memes and ONTD affiliates! *waves* Feel free to add me on twitter if you really want to subject yourself to more randomness like I've displayed above. :P
