I wanted to go to this '70s party as Patti Smith from the Horses cover, but I'm not skinny or androgynous and I'd just look like Meat Loaf... DING went the lightbulb, and now I'm going to be Meat Loaf HAHAHA. But I haven't decided yet whether to be Eddie from the Rocky Horror Picture Show, or the sweaty gross Bat Out Of Hell singer who is basically fat drag Patti Smith anyway. Braces and white shirt! Plus I've got most of the clothes already, so bonus! ON THE OTHER HAND, Eddie gets to wear fake blood and grope girls.
I love this tripe. XD

Well, I was going to make a list of all the good and bad points about Sherlock Holmes, but since I've been so efficiently humbled by a complete stranger who took offence at how negative I always am, I'll just say I would go straight for Robert Downey Jr and he should play scruffy Victorians ALL THE TIME. :P
eta: LOL FOREVER. Byebye netiquette but this email is too amazing not to share.
To be quite clear, I never once thought that I was your friend or that I was privy to your very special private thoughts, only that your outward thoughts were so incredibly uneducated, vapid, and embarassingly idiotic that any intelligent being would know to make those the private ones. Afterall, most of us know when not to say disgusting things in the name of humor. I'm Native American but I don't think making jokes about those alcoholic, casino running, redskins is appropriate. Apparently, here, when you go to school you learn not to be a disgusting little maggot toward other humans on a regular basis. I should have unfriended you when my girlfriend, the only person we had in common, decided you were a worthless piece of scum not worth reading but I thought everyone deserves a second chance and gave it a bit longer. Unfortunately, she was right and I was wrong and you are pretty much without any merit whatsoever. Perhaps if you'd gotten some kind of education or real life experience instead of fucking off to making shiny crowns for people who hated you then you'd be a better person now. I mean, most people who rather share joy with others than publicly be a cunt and privately act like a decent human, but I guess you're just a bit weird in the head. Have a lovely life, I'm sure you and your herd of imbocile sheep with nothing better to do than be superior the the poor, dumb, masses who do such terrible things as carol alone or line up outside of shops too early in the morning will be happy together. Good luck on trying to do anything of merit with your life, since you're obviously only mentally fit to work in a fry shop and complain of your lot in life like to rest of your apparently horrendous family. You're exactly like them but with more of a stick up your ass, don't kid yourself.
XD
Well that told me! |

thank you deirdre_c for the j2 e-card, and halfshellvenus for the lj pengie. :D
yesterday tamalinn and her boyfriend had a norwegian christmas brunch - as he is norwegian - and i ate a lot of bread and cheese (the bread was so good, omg) and tried lutefisk. which was inoffensive in taste and vaguely offensive in texture, but overall not as horrifying as i was prepared for. and now i can say i've tried it and i don't have to eat it again. :D (it was very bland and not at all fishy-tasting, which i was expecting. also not as jelly-like as i was expecting, but still weirdly textured and not at all fish-like. kind of solid and yet spongy.)
and then my sister and i saw up in the air which was really good and i think had an uplifting message, but at the same time it was surprisingly kind of depressing. possibly because it's really topical.... and it takes place in a lot of kind of random unexciting places. also george clooney and vera farmiga have really nice chemistry, and sam elliott has a very small role. i love me some sam elliott, seriously. a little of him goes a long way. ^_^ everybody in it is good, it's well written, it's got some funny bits and some serious bits and some touching bits and the audience yesterday was really into it, but still, kind of depressing. but if you're prepared for that, i do kind of recommend it.
after i got home i watched a lot of criminal minds and made fun of spencer's hair, as one does. and i finally got to see all of cold comfort (aka "harmony! lolita davidovich! cybill shepherd! spencer's marshallhair!") which i never have. there are still a couple s4 episodes i haven't seen. but i'll catch up eventually.
and now i want to leave the house to a. pick up my comics, and b. maybe find a calendar. is it weird that i don't have a 2010 calendar yet? because i kind of think it is.
i leave you with a really nice picspam courtesy of azephirin, in the same vein as sex is not the enemy. it's seriously not worksafe or dialup-safe, but it's full of happy sexy people, of all body shapes and colors and preferences and couplings (and, uh, singlings) and states of dress and undress. some of them you might even recognize. :D |

You know what I hate? I hate those people who go and QUEUE OUTSIDE SHOPS AT 3 O'CLOCK ON BOXING DAY MORNING TO GET TO THE SALES WHEN THEY OPEN AT 7. I want to go down the line with a baseball bat and smash them all in the face one by one. Massive epic irrational hatred. ROAR.
Doctor Who was partly good, partly interesting and exciting, but mostly just dumb and annoying and really stupid. I hate how it's SO GOOD sometimes and then it goes out like this. Lame! Ah well, part 2 might be better.
I'm making Mum and John watch Enchanted and John looks suicidal. XD |

My mother gave me a new sketchbook for christmas with post its on it..that said "Hint hint."
"And if you don't know what hint hint means..."
"It means write something!"
(I always write in sketchbooks because I don't like the lines)
So I'm going to take that and the last of my mimosas to bed. And put the second disc of criminal minds in..
I've been thinking of The Red Queen. And Helen. And Persephone. There's some books I need to dig out so I can solidify my thoughts.

ARGH GOD John's brother came after all. D: After he said he wasn't. My mum was seriously fucked off, you can't just invite yourself round for dinner after you said you weren't coming, we had to fiddle about with place settings and portions and all sorts which OKAY isn't a massive problem at all and we would have done it happily for anybody else, but he's such a miserable rude sneering git and we just didn't want him here. :P He wrecked the day, the temperature drops about fifty degrees any time he walks into a room and he just makes everything uncomfortable. I DID TRY, I'm not a complete social retard. I can be polite, I tried to talk to him and he actually looked me up and down like he was inspecting me for any sign of worth, so I thought fuck it and put my headphones on and ignored him until everyone else came upstairs. FAMILIES, UGH. Dave aside, it wasn't so bad, though I missed Doctor Who because John's mother insisted on watching Shrek even though she owns all the DVDs. :| iplayer later. Elf on Film Four now!
Second fantardy highlight of the day, after the fic I received: I got a dead sweet comment from the person I wrote my ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) yuletide fic for. <3 |

I don't know how many people about but the first person who gives me a Star Trek XI plot I can work with (preferrably Kirk/Pike or Chekov/Sulu), just might get it. |

If you requested a Christmas present drabble from me then it is under the cut. Fandoms: Criminal Minds, TR, Generation Kill, Narnia, Band of Brothers, Doomsday and Star Trek XI.
(The only apology is to redcandle17 - I just couldn't get my head around Sansa/Sandor in time. If you want to make another request, I'll do my level best to get it done).
( MERRY CHRISTMAS, GUYS! ) |

Ladies and gentlemen, my Yuletide story this year is spectacular. I cannot emphasis that enough. It is SPECTACULAR. I know that some of you were interested in my Amanda Palmer request, which is the one the Author filled.
In the City of Blades and Holdfasts - 2081 words
Growing up, Kepha and I had known no word for astronaut.
I cannot tell you how beautiful this story is. It reads like Jeanette Winterson, almost, only better and stranger, more beautiful. It's steampunk. It's space travel. It's love that never really got going.
Read it.
Do it now. |

I got my Yuletide story and it's WONDERFUL WONDERFUL WONDERFUL <3 but now the archive seems to have crashed and nothing's loading, so comment later. I'm dead happy, though, I love it. :D The saxophone player from The Nightmare Before Christmas <3 I adore him, he was always my favourite.
Andrea who works with my mum was supposed to be over today because her family lives in Canada and she had nowhere else to go, but she's staying with some other friends instead now, and John's mum and awful brother were supposed to come too but now Dave's staying at home because he's a miserable hypochondriac. Which is good! You don't need to be in a room with him, he is so dull and so depressing. He is every bad stereotype of a taxman. They really ARE like that. Claire's away in Weymouth with James and his family and Adam's got to work from 12 cos he's a chef, so this is going to be the quietest Christmas of my life? Me, Mum, John and Rita when there's usually a houseful. I don't actually care, I still can't get enthused about it. I'm far more excited about Yuletide and angsty emo Doctor Who. ;)
Hope everyone has a good day <3 <3 |

I haven't posted for aaaaaaaaaages, but I just wanted to pop in and wish everyone a very very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year for next week from me and the Xandermog.
I'm looking forward to spending a lovely day with the family1, cooking together, eating til we feel slightly ill, giving pressies2, and of course watching the Doctor Who special and other Christmas telly. I hope you all have an equally excellent one planned if you're celebrating, and if you're not, then have a lovely day regardless.
Do I have a New Year's resolution? Try to post more often, of course! ;-)
1 Mum, brother and new sister-in-law
2 Which is more fun than the receiving to be honest, since I pretty much know what I'm getting already |

One month since I moved. And today driving home on my long ass drive which should be fixed sometimes next month I realized...I'm happy. Lonliness still rears up on me. And I beat myself up over the same things..but I'm happy.
I love my roomates. I love Atlanta and now I feel much more of a part of it.
It's time to ignore that shitty part of my brain that bitches that I don't read enough, don't write enough, have too many unfinished sewing projects...
Alone on Christmas. The roomies went out of town. Parents are too far away. But I've got mimosas. And I'm making Shepherd's Pie. And netflix should be giving me the second disc of Season 1 of Criminal Minds tomorrow.
For now. Love Actually because I watch it every year. (There's a boy that I want to make a sign that says "to me you are perfect" for...but I will chicken out..like always...) |

Is there anyone around to do a flying readthrough on a Yuletide pinch hit? The fandom isn't really important...I just need a perspective on the ending! If you can do it, leave me a comment or ping me on AIM and I'll tell you what I'm thinking!

Had a lovely night last night (against all odds) out in Coventry with the guys from uni and, today, I had a lovely day with door1984. We went for dinner in Birmingham and then we saw "Avatar"
I don't think I've enjoyed a movie that much in YEARS. I spontaneously flailed more than once. And ENJOYED Michelle Rodriguez. Which never happens.
melloniel, I fancy Sam Worthington all over again.
I also ( got a haircut... ) |

gone in sixty seconds was on last night. i love this movie. it's so ridiculous and nicolas cage is, well, nicolas cage, and i could never figure out what frances fisher was doing in it, but i love it. cool cars, fun dialogue, teaminess, robert duvall, giovanni ribisi, and delroy lindo. and a dog! and a classic car that shoots flames out its ass tailpipe! and angelina jolie as a bottle blonde! i love it so much i even gave it its own tag. :D
(i did however keep switching channels between that and the nightly criminal minds reruns, which were the tribe (aka "is your name samuel?") and children of the dark, which meant i had a choice of william lee scott as either a baby car thief or a baby psychopath. choices, choices. eventually the cars won out. i mean, i've seen children of the dark like three times, and that one scene in the tribe probably four. and i love me some giovanni ribisi.)
the twelve days of christmas, courtesy of the kenosha, wi, police dept - the untrained rookie is adorable. they also get budget meetings, night assignments, talks to kids, dirty squad cars, doughnuts.... socute.
sex is not the enemy - mostly photos with some quotes. not just people having sex, but also smooching, cuddling, getting nekkid.... some cute, some hot, some arty. lots of happy smiling folks. nsfw, obviously. (thank apiphile. i did. :D ) |

Cards from blacknarcissus2 and rachie203! :D <3 <3 <3
My mum was in Sainsbury's for FOUR AND A HALF HOURS today because she had to do John's mum's mental Christmas shop too. PANICKED FESTIVE GLUTTONY. She forgot shampoo and teabags but brought back six camemberts. I love my family, we know how to prioritise. :D I am seriously more excited about all this cheese and chocolate than I am about anything else, it's sort of sad. I was always a massive child about Christmas but I couldn't make myself care last year for the first time in my life, and it's the same this year too. I'm going to watch Mr Hankey and AD/BC and see if I can drrrag myself into some kind of suitable mood. I need James Stewart <3
This will also help: put a tablespoon each of brown sugar and softened butter per person into a blender, plenty of cinnamon or ginger or whatever spice you like, add a shot (or more) of dark rum and a glass of hot water per person (like whiskey tumbler size), blend, and yum. It's easier to blend in big batches but you can do it by the glass, I've got a little tiny one-person smoothie blender so that works. |
