| I'm not dead! And I come bearing a Potter-verse drabble and music-share song for you! For ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} alisanne: Snaco, stone, Love Love, Kiss Kiss. | ||||||||

| I know, I know. I never post here! SORRY. But here, have a meme. That might produce some drabbles! The Music is my boyfriend meme: Pick a number between 1 and 4152, and give me a pairing/very vague scenario or prompt. This number corresponds to a song on my iTunes. When you pick one, I'll give you that song and a drabble to go along with it for your pairing/scenario/prompt. Potter 'verse, SPN/RPS, Criminal Minds, sports, and bandom. I can't promise to have them all done until after My Chemical Roadtrip, but thinking about the drabbles will keep me occupied during the (interminable) drives from Houston to Dallas to Austin to Houston. Also. Tonight. Tonight, tonight! randomepiphany arrives. And this time tomorrow, we'll be on our way to the Woodlands' Pavilion to see BuzzFest. :DD | ||||||||

| Seriously. It's one of those cheesy things that I love, and don't talk about. What?, you're asking. (Or maybe you're thinking, Whoa, bad taste.) This confession stems from an email convo w/ J, related to a blog-post suggesting that a review that says "I think this isn't a good book" does not necessarily mean "I think you are stupid", but which is often interpreted to. It shouldn't, though, because we all like different stuff, the good, the bad, the ugly, the really really cheesy. So we started listing stuff we like that is perhaps not culturally high-brow. I like fanfiction more than regular fiction most days, so that's first on my list. What do you like/enjoy/remember fondly that's cheesy or dorky or silly? TELL ME! My list (will be edited as I think of them): Wham! M*A*S*H My So-Called Life General Hospital (back when Jack Wagner was on it) Batman, the tv series Star Trek Melrose Place (don't try to tell me none of you ever watched it in horrified fascination; it was like a slutty train wreck waiting to happen) | ||||||

| *head/desk* multifandom fangirl chat + discussion of kinks + SNL with MCR = "OMGbrain, did you see Frank's hands around Bob's neck? There's the breathplay you were wanting to write RIGHT THERE." And, hello, Bob Bryar's birthday, which makes my brain say, "See, there needs to be birthday breathplay." I had to turn off the Blaqk Audio, because Between Breaths made me physically stop what I was doing to imagine it. Someone give me a SPN or CM prompt that might work Also, I have been pretty slow to read some of the Merry_Smutmas fics, but there's a magnificent bit of Fred/George art work (totally NWS) done for anise that twinfans might appreciate. (Other than a Fred/George/Draco, it's the only Fred/George in that fest this year, which makes me a bit sad.)Title: The Old Extendables Rating: NC-17 Pairing: Fred/George, Ginny Summary: Ginny happens upon her brothers in a compromising position. | ||||

| So, I'm done with my fest fic (YAY!) and we've got football on the tube while I scribble other stuff, and I just had the most cracktastic idea because of the game - Dallas Cowboys vs. Carolina Panthers. The commentators are going on and on about Romo and TO and the Jessica Simpson thing, and I had to wonder. What is Christmas dinner like in the Simpson household? I mean, really. Jessica and Ashlee and their boyfriends, the super-masculine man's man, Tony Romo (who, btw, spends half his professional life with his hands on another guy's ass), and guyliner-applying, Patrick Stump-kissing Pete Wentz, who will make out with anybody but is scared of other guys' penises (penii?). *boggles at the idea of dinner table or gift-opening convo* That so needs to be written. * Also. I am not allowed to buy any more concert tickets. As it is, I'll be eating PB&J for lunch for a month to balance my budget. Gallows The Bravery Angels and Airwaves The Cab/Metro Station/We The Kings/Cobra Starship Ministry I'm pining for tickets to see the Boss because I thought they'd be my xmas gift. Turns out I'm getting a set of tickets to Aeros games instead. Which, good, yay, but not what I thought I was getting. Foo Fighters - only shitty seats left. And I'd like to see Alanis Morissette, but not so much Matchbox 20. * We head to IA tomorrow for a week, so just in case I don't have time to post again, Happy Holidays, y'all! | ||||

| Because I'm utterly bored, waiting for my gel to run/stain/destain, and I'm the last frikken person here in my ENTIRE DEPARTMENT... If you had me under your command and could make me write anything fandom-y no matter how crack-addled it might be, what would you love to see me write? Tell me, and maybe while I'm in the Big Empty that is north west Iowa I'll drabble. (My fest fic's almost done, and there's a b-day fic that'll probably be posted late because I can't post porn from my inlaws' computer, but otherwise, I'm clear.) Necessary iconage. TDS/TCR return in Jan!!!!! | ||||

| Because I'm clearly slacking on the linking-to-fic front.why_me_why_not posted The Life of the (Slumber) Party over at the tabby_and_iris LJ earlier this week. Part of the Epic 'verse. Rated: teen. I posted Picture this from my lips, which follows He's crushing but he's no wave and I'm not going home alone. Brendon/Patrick, adult. And then I wrote Morning coffee, which follows directly on Three's Company, for the Bandom More Is More Meme. Jon/Cassie/Spencer, adult. *palm/forehead* More het, in the form of irredeemable porn. I don't even know, guys. Um. My bits are entirely unbeta'd. So. Yeah. Correct me where needed. | ||||||

| ( obligatory post-ep SPN rambles ) So, now I'm going to diverge from the warm fuzzy brother-moment to another type of brother moment. ( incest, twincest, wincest, and waycest (in the form of rambling, disorganized thoughts) ) Thoughts? | ||||||||

| I won the pen (or keyboard, as the case may be) of misskatieleigh in the Sweet Charity auction, and the fic she wrote for me is now up! :D Title: Walk me down your broken line Rating: PG-13 (language) Pairing: Jensen Ackles/OMC Wordcount: 1,900 Summary: Relationships are hard. Even harder when one of you is famous and you’re both hiding inside your own skin. I asked for something specific, a glimpse of what happened between Breathing room is overrated (Jensen/OMC) and Sunrise over West Hollywood (Jared/Steve), and this gorgeousness is what she produced. Go, read, comment. Pretty please? | ||||

| Shamelessly stolen from fiona_fawkes, and posted because, yes, I AM procrastinating. Put your player on shuffle and post two lines from the first (I had to skip one because, seriously, MSI's 2 Hookers and an Eightball? JU sings the title every other line, and I couldn't bring myself to do a line of stars, a line of lyrics, a line of stars, a line of lyrics. So. Yeah. Go ahead and laugh at the rest of 'em.) ( ready set go ) | ||||||

| *palm/forehead* Because my fest fic doesn't want to get written, but apparently pointless porn does. I'm not going home alone, my entry to the Bandom Goes Down meme. Brendon/Patrick, adult, ~1100 words. Follows He's Crushing, But He's No Wave. Totally unbeta'd, written as comment porn. Also? COMPLETE FICTION. | ||||||||

| Is there a polite way to suggest to a colleague that deodorant or an increase in laundering of clothing and self might be in order? See, there's a new post-doc with a desk in the shared office. And he reeks. REEKS. Like, I open the door and if he's in there, the odor slaps me. I literally cannot sit at my desk if he's there (his desk abuts mine) because I am nauseated by the odor. At first I thought it was just me being sensitive, but all the folks in his lab are having the same problem, and none of us knows how to broach the topic with him. I don't have to spend 8-10 hours a day with him, at least, but that office is where I go to read or work when my bench-work is done, and it's uncomfortable in there now. | ||||||

| 1. Thanks to everyone who sent birthday wishes! ♥ B. There is an obscene amount of turkey left in my fridge. Thirdly. I want J to live not so far away. Also. Javier Bardem in No Country for Old Men? Creepy. And that bowl cut? So unappealing. Must see Love in the Time of Cholera to erase that mental image. *pets the new MacBook Pro* The new laptop, she needs a name. Suggestions? | ||||||

| He's Crushing But He's No Wave. ~1100 words. Brendon Urie, Patrick Stump. PG, with only the wish for slash. Entirely unbeta'd. Started because I wanted to see something about Brendon and Patrick and the recording of 7 Minutes in Heaven, continued as a pick-me-up for anasuede the other day. Yes, I'm slow. Sorry. But it's done, finally! Also, I only watched clips of the performances at the FOE suite during/after the VMAs, not the MTV real-time broadcast, so I have no idea about the correct order of the songs on the set list. Ergo, I just stuck some of them in random order. Obligatory disclaimer: Fiction here. If you got here by googling your name, turn around and go back the way you came. ( Could he be any more 'Sixteen Candles'? ) | ||||||||

| From anasuede. Comment and I'll give you a letter. In your journal, list ten songs that begin with that letter. She gave me G. :D 1. Give 'em hell, kid, MCR. Hey, you're lucky I restrained myself to just one MCR song. And notice, I also managed not put any Fall Out Boy in the list, although I was seriously tempted. 2. God is a bullet, Concrete Blonde. Shoot straight from the hip, y'all. Plus, Johnette Napolitano. 3. The Ghost of Tom Joad, Rage Against the Machine. Classic song, with the bonus of Tom Morello's guitar. 4. Go, Indigo Girls. Emily and Amy. If anyone's grandma was a suffragette, I'd think it was those two. (It was either this or Ghost, and nobody needs to be that depressed right now.) 5. Gasoline, Audioslave. Tom Morello PLUS Chris Cornell's vocals. Any questions? 6. Gettochip Malfunction, Beck. Lookin' for my place, is all. 7. Gimme gimme gimme, ABBA. What? Disco doesn't deserve the bad rap it's gotten. 8. Grave Digger (Live at The Gorges), DMB. Does DMB @ The Gorges need an explanation? Didn't think so. And I'm not even a big Dave fan. 9. Good Man, Good Woman, Bonnie Raitt. Sadly, I've only seen her live once, and she did not perform this song, which is one of my favorites. 10. Gave Up, NIN. So, I'm glad Trent Reznor is clean and stuff, and Year One and With Teeth are good, but I have to admit I liked the pre-rehab lyrics better. Just sayin'. Bonus track: Greed, Godsmack. Because it's Godsmack. Also for/because of anasuede, there should be fic sometime tonight or tomorrow morning. I meant to write Gerard-fic to go with the G, but instead you get the Brendon/Patrick that I scribbled the other day when she needed distracting. But then I had to get some work done and some around-the-house crap finished, and it never got typed up. Sound familiar? It's the story of my life lately.Plus... *flail* Did you guys watch SPN? Did you SEE that Sam/Dean big brother moment with the Impala? I've been WAITING for that to happen since Dean made his deal. Because the Metallicar needs constant care, and he'd be thinking about it. | ||||||

| Not much exciting happening here lately. Just, you know, every-day living stuff. I've opened my notebook every night for the past week, and closed it again without typing any of the scribblings out for y'all to read. I don't know what my problem is. Just supremely unmotivated, I guess. The quote for the day, via J: ( If a book is published and no one ever reads it, is it really a book? ) Yay for November, even though this year has passed so fast I can't even believe it. Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away. J is coming to Houston so we can bask in our twin-ness together on our birthday. This is good. I think that is all. For now. | ||||||

| I'm suffering withdrawal. We're unable to get Comedy Central, so I've been Stewart-less and Colbert-less this week. Tragic, isn't it? I'm hoping we can figure out the problem so that on Monday I can see what Colbert has to say about not being allowed on the ballot in S. C.. (I assume, given the late hour of the announcement, that he wouldn't have been able to include it in tonight's broadcast.) What else? ( fandom items ) ( work thingies ) | ||||
