Row, Row, Row, Row, Row Your Boat...

I'm behind on my meme again, so I'm doing three days at once.

Day 14 → A non-fictional book


Alright, now if this means a book that's actually real, then I'm going to recommend The Three Musketeers because it's kickass and I loved it.


Day 15 → A fanfic

There are a huge number of great fics in the various fandoms I participate in, but I'm going to say After the End from the Harry Potter fandom because it was the first multi-chaptered fic I ever followed. I used to wait eagerly for each new installment and I remember how crushed I felt after the final chapter was posted just after Order of the Phoenix came out and there was a happy ending in the fic for characters no longer among the living in canon. Honestly, I don't remember much of the plot, but I just know I enjoyed it at the time and it was a big deal in my Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny obsession days.

Day 16 → A song that makes you cry (or nearly)

I nearly cried the first time I heard Punch Brothers' Blind Leaving the Blind, Movement One. I don't really know why. Youtube doesn't seem to have the whole thing, but this video is at least half of it.

Merry Christmas!

I don't want to wax eloquent, but since it's Day 12 → Whatever tickles your fancy and it's Christmas, I am going to post a little poem thing I read at church yesterday that I thought was really beautiful.

( Light looked down and saw darkness )

:) I hope everyone is having a great day, regardless of how you spent it!

Speaking of things I read in church, I picked up a random piece of paper and the first bit of it said, "Now Gabriel came to Zechariah and..." I then shook myself, reminded myself to separate fandom and real life and went about my business.

Oh and I got a magazine subscription for Christmas! I've asked for one for the last three years, lol. Also some other really nifty stuff including s1 of Deep Space Nine (omg, I love that show so much!)

And now I'm attempting to write the next chapter of this fic AGAIN because I've lost a bunch of it TWICE now from computer glitches. I'm going to start saving after every sentence, I swear.

*twirls away*

Alright, I have time to get back to my meme now!

Day 09 → A photo you took

Sorry if you got the ginarmo version of a moment ago. I fixed it.

( In case you were wondering, it's my mother )




( The Rest )

The most amazing things are happening in the living room right now.

John started a fire and we are toasting marshmallows for s'mores! We are also watching the first Star Trek film with all its glorious unnecessarily long pauses while I work on finishing up the secret santa fic. So many good things, people.

Which is why its great that today's meme picture is...

Day 08 → A photo that makes you angry/sad

I could do something really serious as there is a lot of crap that qualifies in this world, but I'm going for something more frivolous to keep the angst in my journal to a minimum.

( We got them back for this later )

( More to come )

This meeting is adjourned.

More meme!

Day 06 → Whatever tickles your fancy

This really tickles my fancy. In fact, Jessica and I were cracking up over this last night, which just goes to show how dumb we are. I have this deep love for pretending my SPN characters are saying lines from other stuff completely. Don't ask why.

I'm dedicating this to her and to Kam and Sarah because I'm guessing we four will appreciate it the most. Although it does involve Dean/Castiel, so that's fun for many parties.

( The Angel Raj and Christine Winchester )

Also, while doing this, I took the ugliest screencap of Dean ever.

I'm leaving off the list this time because this is already long enough. Top Chef finale tonight! I'm rooting for Bryan, but I would be ok with any of them winning. I like everyone left and that's never happened to me on a reality competition show. So yaye! (And it's nearly over because it took me the ENTIRE EPISODE to get these pictures uploaded urhglalsdfjal;skdfa;lskdjfaslkd)

Also, Kentucky plays Connecticut. J. Cal vs. J. Cal! TOO MANY OVERLAPPING INTERESTS.

Um, I'm off now to...do...something. Later!

We're going to pretend that every day means every time period between when I wake up and when I fall asleep again.

Right, so Day Three!

Day 03 → Your favorite television program

Ah, television. My preferred medium for fandom and general squee. I have so many TV programs that I love. Pretty much anything with 'Star' in the title. Shows with time travel and space aliens and mythical creatures. Thrown in is the occasional 'reality-based' show like NCIS and M*A*S*H.

And I love them all so very much.

However, unlike movies, in this category there is a clear winner.

( They won't let me smoke inside, but you can pee in Leo's closet )

Also, I got cute little snowflake thingeys from devilyouwere, obsidianglass, kisa_hawkin and madpsychogirl. Thank you guys!

I'm off to try and finish my second 'Holy crap I have writer's block and need to work on something else for a minute' fanfiction. It's coming along nicely.

I'm in Lexington now! Man, we had to get up quite early to get down here. It's worth it though because Punch Brothers tonight!

And I'm starving.

So, the deancastiel Renegade Angels fic authors were revealed the other day. I can't imagine anyone was that surprised to discover I'd written the Kentucky fic considering how often I go on about this state. In case you were wondering, Dean et al. end up in Paducah because that's where I was born. Sure I only lived there for a few years, but I started there and so that's where they ended up. It's like my Lawrence, only we moved because my dad joined the navy rather than because he was searching for the thing that pinned my mom to their bedroom ceiling.

I can't get the phrase "In dying, he defeated death" outta my head. It was a bit of morning comfort for me, but now it's just rumbling around in my head like loose change, heh. See, this is what happens to me. I don't get music stuck in my head. Well, not only music. I get words stuck in there on loops.

I realize that most of my posts are entitled something about 'random'. I think I should just accept that I'm a random person and be done with it.

But yes, I think I might take a nap now. I'm going to try and write some more Soul Piece before the concert. This chapter is annoying because it's all a bunch of puzzle pieces that don't fit anywhere. At least I think it will be. Who knows, by the time I sit down to finish it, it might turn out to be the epic tale of Dean and Castiel looking for Dean's lost shoe or something.

Birthday cake time again!

As you all may or may not know, I get a fandom cake every year. This year, I actually made my own because I wanted a very special and silly picture on the front of it.

So, here it is!

( A Very Supernatural Birthday )

Also, deancastiel chat girls! I have my story half done. I'mma finish tomorrow after the guests leave, then it shall be yours!

Now, apparently, it's time for the first course of this ridiculously huge seafood meal...the Gumbo course....

Later folks!

I'm in the mood for a meme. I can't remember exactly how this one is worded, so I'm just going to improvise.

Comment here with a fandom and I will tell you three of my unpopular opinions associated with said fandoms.

I think most of you probably know my fandoms to a certain extant, but they are also listed in my profile.
