Anniversary!

Thu, 12 Jun 2008 21:43:44 GMT

Today has mostly been spent downloading songs nd episodes of House to watch on my train back o university tomorrow! This is possibly the best way to spend a day ever. I'm off tomorrow for a week of far too much lack of sleep and lots of dressing up, should be fun! Last May Week I posted a diary of what I'd been up too, I can't believe I've had an LJ for about a year now! I've had so much fun with you guys, you rock!

Thu, 05 Jun 2008 19:23:01 GMT

I'm drinking whiskey which has been in a free glenfiddich hip flask for at least four months. Is this wrong? It feels like something Dean might do, so I guess it can't be, really. You know, just like it's not wrong to hustle pool. Or steal people's remains Or sell your soul.....

DAMMIT!

AWESOME

Sun, 01 Jun 2008 12:59:00 GMT

Guys, twasadark has recorded my story Billy Goat's Muff (the completley eregious fic in which Sam fancies goats) as a podfic! Imost definitely do not deserve such awesome, given my absense from LJ of late, but it's happened! IT'S ALSO RIDICULOUSLY GOOD AND FUNNY ! She manages the whole thing with a straight face, too, which is more than I would have managed.

In other news, OMG HOW GOOD WAS DOCTOR WHO LAST NIGHT? I absolutley love Stephen Moffat.

Today, the minutes seem like hours, the hours go so slowly,

Thu, 15 May 2008 18:25:03 GMT

And still the sky is briiiiiiigh! Tonight, tonight, you'lll s.p.n tonight, and for fen, squeee will start, where you aaaaarre!

Ahem. I might be slightly jealous of you guys who'll get to see the finale today. I have a whole night to wait! I am ridiculously excited, though. To fill the time, have a Worst Case Scenario Poll. Yesterday's wisdom of crowds revealed that Lilith could well be defeated by My Little Pony, so I'm putting a fiver on that!

View Poll: Worst Case scenario

Two days to go!

Wed, 14 May 2008 09:59:14 GMT

And I'm completley unspoiled for the spn season finale!

So, considering there's two days till the episode, I figure we need a best/worst case scenario poll. Yes?

View Poll: Finale!

I'm squeeing. Are you?

P.S Yes, I am aware that it's only one day to go. But I'll see the episode Friday, so there.
P.P.S It worries me that I have way more ideas for a worse case scenario. Oh man, I am scared for the Winchesters. Eeeep.

YAY

Guys, I'm watching Rocky Horror show drunk! Does it get much better than this?

hangs head in shame

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 17:27:26 GMT

Guys, I haven't posted in so long. I haven't answered comments in even longer. I am currently seriously considering just offering to pay the people who bought me at last sweet charity. Basically, I suck, and I'm so sorry!

So, what have I been doing? Basically, the last month or so, I've been working freelance, which seems to make me slightly less likely to procrastinate than ususal! I've also had my well loved laptop break, so am currently stuck to my home computer, where there is ALWAYS SOMEONE WATCHING (dun dun.) Needless to say, I haven't been checking my F-list much, or writing fic, since all these activities tend to lead to awkward questions of the WTF nature! Still, thought I should post to remind you guys that you're awesome, that I'm still alkive, and haven't fallen down aa pit of Sarlac or anything (and thus, still alive but slowly being dissolved over a thousand years, which would probably be even worse.)

I miss you guys! I'm now going to go try and answer comments, at least on fic, so I'll leave you with this, picked up from my research work: Did you know that the Island of Sumatra had a thriving trade, in the 13th century, in fake pygmies? People literally made their entire living by shaving and preserving monkeys, then flogging them to traders. God, I love the world.

Freedom

Fri, 28 Mar 2008 22:23:26 GMT

I, awesomley, finally have a free night to slob out with my computer instead of being expected to be all sociable and slob out with the family. I am celebrating this freedom by watching David Tennant be adorable on The Friday Night Project and stealing this meme from pen37, because it's irresistible. Please to be ignoring the wording and asking me about anything: Who, SPN, Heroes, Mighty Boosh (HOMG Mighty Boosh regency AU! How amazing would that be? VERY.)

The Hypothetical AU Meme: Take any one of the fandoms you know I write AND give me a type of AU (space opera AU, pirate AU, superhero AU, Ancient Rome, Regency England etc.). I will then explain what story from that fandom I would write for that AU.

Me me me me me (me)

Meme! Tagged by caffienekittyand buffyaddict13. I asume everyone's done this already, but I'll tag ANYONE WHO HASN'T DONE IT YET THIS MEANS YOU! ! After all, they're more like guidelines than actual rules. *Barbossa rules forever and ever Amen.*

Here's the deal: People who have been tagged post their answers and replace any question they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves. . These 8 people must state who they were tagged by. You cannot tag the person who tagged you.

1. You have 50 dollars in your pocket what do you do with it?
I'd be seriously happy, since I have precisly zero money at the moment. Then I'd buy glamour magazine with the dark blue free bag, possibly a book I want, some bath stuff from Lush, then spend the rest on getting back up to Uni this Sunday. (This is taking $50 to mean about £25.)

2. What is your most guilty pleasure?
Reading fanfic? Reading Heat magazine? To be honest, it's probably buying cheap clothes from basically evil shops like Primark.

3. Have you ever seen someone die?
No.

4. Are you confused as to what lies ahead of you?
Yup. I still have very little idea what I want to do with my life!

5. What was the last movie you saw, for pleasure, and would you recommend it?
Stardust, and definitely.

6. Superman or Batman?
Superman. He can FLY, people!

7. What do you do if the person you fancy does not accept you, for whatever reason?
Give it up. Maybe admire them as a person, but not act in any way attracted to them. I think I'm too proud. (Although I'm also very slow to realise when someones just not that into me!)

8. What would you rather, loose an arm, or a leg?
An arm. At least I couuld still walk about, and I could probably learn to type eventually.

9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy recently?
The cinstant cancelling of development meetings at work, and the attatched frustrations.

10. If you could have chosen at birth whether to be a boy or a girl, which would you be?
I don't know. I think in many ways you have an easier ride as a boy. Then again, I wouldn't want to not be a woman. I think woman on balance.

11. What do you consider your greatest accomplishment?
Getting into university, or loosing my shyness in social situations.

12. What do you feel mosy guilty about?
Not doing stuff I've promised. *waves to sweet charity bidders*

13. Who is currently the most important person/people to you?
My family, since I came home.

14. Would you rather be a really good person or a really interesting person?
Good, because Britney Spears is interesting.

15. Do you believe in some form of life after death?
Not at all. I guess I'm either too cynical or too optimistic.

16. Which fictional character could you most see yourself marrying?
I reckon me and the Tenth Doctor could make a go of it!

17. Do you have unpopular opinions?
Frequently.

18. Do you have a motto? If yes which one?
Nope, although I suppose a family one ouwld be "it's all bollocks!"

19. What type of friends do you have?
Tend to be passionate about things I guess. This means a bit of a spectrum, but mostly with geeky elements!

20. What place most speaks to you?
Anywhere dramatic and overblown, but with a faint sense of hilarious OTT-ness. Mountains, mist, twisty forests, Victorian architecture. This is also reflected in my musical and novel tastes.

Tainted by Evil: The Radio Play

Sun, 02 Mar 2008 23:42:44 GMT

This will be the second weekend I've sat down with fine intentions of writing Sweet Charity, and been distracted by other things. Guys, I am so, so sorry. buffyaddict13 and unhobbityhobbit, you have both been amazingly patient. Anyway, this is by way of a sop to my conscience. Yes, it is the infamous holy water enema fic. Originally inspired by girlfan1979, although I know this is pretty much the opposite of what she imagined. I'll write you the serious version one day *g*

Title: Tainted by Evil, the Radio Play

Rating: Gen, R

Length: 466 words

Warnings: Swearing and Enemas. And, once again, I've done a radio play. Crackity, crack, crack, crack.

Summary: Years from now, in a creativly bankrupt future, a radio adaptation is made of longhairedlady's 6000 page Supernatural epic, Tainted by Evil.

[ In the Impala. It's night (I suggest using the sound of hooting owls to get this across. Realism be damned.) Cars can be heard rushing by. Rain patter on the windshield. In the background, a siren wails, such as might be set off by a young man breaking into a locked pharmacy.]

Dean : Fuck! You finished in there yet?

[Thrashing about noises.]

Dean : Gods Dammned Fucking Shit Ass-AHHHHH!

[Whimpering. Then, a car door opens.]

Sam : Ok, I got it. Had to pick a few locks, tripped the secur-

Dean : Shut up, Sam. I can't hold it much longer. Ugh, I can feel the thing trying to force it's way out!

Sam : That might be the single most disgusting thing I've ever heard.

Dean (shouting) : Just hurry up and bless the water already!

Sam : I'm doing it, I'm doing it.

[Splashing sounds. Latin. A few prayers, if the producers really want to go in for the blasphemy.]

Sam (conversationally) : So, how do you even get a demon up your ass in the first place?

Dean : I don't know! Does asking stupid questions magically speed you up or something?

Sam : You think it was aiming for your mouth and got confused?

[A roar (suggest using a lion's, from archive) shortly followed by a thump.]

Sam (somewhat muffled, as though speaking through an arm lock): Ok, Ok, it's done. Here.

Dean (sighs) : Finally.

[A zipper opens.]

Dean (somewhat strained) : This enema thing better fucking work, because I swear to God, you're not exorcising my colon. Nghh, there it goes.

[Tense silence.]

Sam: Did it work?

[ A sudden loud rushing, such as might be caused by high pressure steam escaping. Yells of manly pain. The rest is silence, save for the gentle sound of trickling water. Record a tranquil stream, or something.]

Dean (shaken) : Well, that was a laugh riot.

Sam: (equally shaken) : Yeah.

Dean: Let's never talk about this again, right?

3.12 Very Important Poll

Sat, 01 Mar 2008 11:28:15 GMT

I officially suck for not writing anything last weekend. Still, there may come a day when the strength of my typing fingers fail. There may come a time when the demands of inherent laziness become too much. But it is not this day! This day, we WRITE!

In the meantime, have a poll about the important, scientiffically varifiable factors in Supernatural 3:12

View Poll: Oh holy hell yes!

Hell Yes

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 22:46:29 GMT

Now, normally I like to delay posting till I've answered comments on my last post. But I've had a long day standing in the cold, and I felt this really needed to be posted. What is it? Only my very own pig hat! OK, so it's supposed to be a bear. But look at it! Isn't it awesome? I bought it costomised from sweet charity, and it also has other amazing creatures like a hippocamp (who knew it was more than an area of the brain that was both an endocrine and exocrine gland) and a gryphon and an ostritch. Expect pics of me in it when it arrives!

Yes, I do start work tomorrow

Sun, 17 Feb 2008 23:35:21 GMT

And yet I find myself gripped by the need to macro. One under the cut, coming from something I pointed out in my 3:11 poll.

I tried for a decent cap of the pink toothbrush of super huntingness, but failed miserably. I reckon this gets the point across, though.

This seems appropriate

Thu, 14 Feb 2008 23:50:44 GMT

GUYS, HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! IMy feelings are so mixed about this day, as I know a lot of people's are. So I thought I'd let the genius of xkcd.com express my emotions, and the true awesomeness that is all you guys.

Tonight!!

Thu, 07 Feb 2008 23:31:33 GMT

What's happening tonight? Oh, that's right, only a new episode! Again! We're really being spoiled, I sort of feel like I want to stockpile these new episodes, you know! I get the fun of sitting through an entire day of work tomorrow knowing it'll be waiting for me to download ast home, wish me luck!

On that note (and the not so well disguised reason for this post)I'm soprry I haven't been about much. The new job is with fun people, in a nice environment, and I can walk to it along a river with ducks and trees in blossom and old rusty barges. Howveer, it is also answering the phone and being on the computer all day, with no personal internet allowed! So I've not really been fancying going on much when i get home.

Hopefully I'll get used to the office thing soon, I miss all the LJ goodness! Link me anything really cool you've done (That pretty much means alll of it!)

KRIPKEEEE!

Wed, 30 Jan 2008 18:04:37 GMT

Guys, I love Eric Kripke so much it's just not even funny. He's just so adorable in those interviews that came out today. (Beware spoilers in the second one!) He's all like "Yeah, the fans are an rowdy bunch, bless them" and "We could hopefully bang out a couple more episodes if the strike ends soon."

He's Dean, if for some reason Dean made genre TV, right? Am I not right? I like to think he does all his editing to obscure Zepplin music. And shakes his head in uncomprehending amusement whenever the fans do something OTT. And sneaks into the Impala when no one's looking.

Fic: Billy Goat's Muff

Sat, 26 Jan 2008 16:56:41 GMT

Title: Billy Goat's Muff
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Parody. And, um, see pairing?
Length: 879 words
Pairing: Unrequited Sam/Goats

Notes: Yes, you read the pairing right. Unbelievably late entry for the

sammessiah Demon Jesus 100 ficathon, prompt Sam was Azazel's favourite not because of his training, but rather because Sam shares his… fascination… concerning the members of the species Capra aegagrus".

Name carefully chosen from a number of equally horrifying options in this poll. Betaed nobly by girlfan1979 ,the best beta a girl could hope for.

Parody story, in that, if you did a search and replace on the first part (Dean for goats, incest for bestiality and, I dunno, leather jacket for horns) it should also provide a fantastically overblown and angsty wincest story for your reading pleasure. Present tense seemed fitting for that, somehow.

Summary: Sam fancies goats. He angsts about it. A lot.

He came back wrong. Sam feels it, this new, twisted obsession. At night he dreams about them. He imagines his sub consciousness as a mire, dark and debauched and, well, dark?

On second thoughts, maybe the mire metaphor isn't dark enough. It doesn't show the true depths of wrongness. Maybe it's more like a tar pit, deep and midnight black and terrifying. Yes, a tar pit. Filled with the dinosaur skeletons of depravity and the lost shoes of perversion. Sometimes he finds it hard to even think, such is the heaviness of the coiled horror and sickness that lies within his mind.

And sometimes he thinks that maybe these feelings are the final gift of the yellow eyed demon, who haunted and destroyed his whole life, killing everyone and everything he’d ever loved. Maybe it's the blood in his veins that makes him feel this way, running hot with twisted dreams of fur and hooves and God, their horns, curving and shining like temptation itself. He knows the Demon's name now, Azazel, and has read up all he can on him. (Sam thinks back to happier times, when his borderline erotic obsession with research was the only thing bothering him.) The first mention he can find of Azazel is in Leviticus 16. Demanding a goat be set aside, and abandoned for him in the desert. Dirty bastard.

Sam knows that what he desires is unnatural, disgusting, completely wrong in the eyes of the world. But how can he fight a desire so strong? Finally, he realises he has to tell his brother. Dean deserves to know what a monster Sam has become. Sam can't imagine a happy conclusion for this story. Dean should never have bought him back as this evil thing, selling his soul just so Sam could come back and destroy everything good and hairy and pure in the world...

Sam wakes dazed and confused from his angst spiral about ten minutes later. Dean is squinting at him, mildly concerned. "Uh, Sam? You OK? You sort of zoned out there, kept muttering under your breath, something about butting and the stains on your soul?" Dean caught Sam's eye, sardonically raising his eyebrows. "Anything you want to talk about, there?"

Sam steels himself to speak. "It's - well, it's me. I think I came back wrong." He drops his eyes, staring at his clasped fingers. Dean is sighing.

"Sam, is this like the time you thought you where going evil because you laughed at that fat guy falling over on TV? Because I'm telling you right now, that was fucking hilarious."

"No." Sam's voice is small, ashamed. "It's." He takes a deep breath. "It's a sex thing."

Immediately, Dean is jumping of the bed, in such a hurry he almost sprints for the wrong door "Man, I do not want to know anything about your sex life! You got that?"

As his hand hits the doorknob, Sam yells. "It's goats!"

Dean halts, like he's just run into a wall. When he turns round, the expression on his face, somewhere between incredulity and amusement, suggests it had been like hitting a wall of free beer. "What?"

Sam stares determinedly into the opposite wall. "It's just - goats. With their hooves, and their tails, and those little beard things they have, and the horns, Christ Dean, the horns. All curvy and sinuous –"

"Sam, I swear, if you don't shut up right now, I may never get turned on again."

"But –"

"Really not a good choice of words there, Sammy."

Sam lapses into silence. This isn't going like he'd imagined. He'd thought Dean would be out the door by now, disgusted at the horror that lurked in Sam's mind.

"You're thinking in italics again, aren't you? Well, stop it. We need to figure this out." Dean paused. "Now, do you actually want to get it on with the things? Because I've got to tell you, Sam, there's pretty much no way that's not rape."

"No!" Sam is shocked. The idea that he would touch things that are so beautiful, so perfect in and of themselves, is repulsive

"Great. Well, I don't see what the problem is. There's only one logical solution. Hand me your laptop."

Dean spends a couple of minutes tapping away. Then, he swivels round, presenting Sam with the screen. "Animal Planet. They've got a webcam set up on these mountain goats 24/7. Knock yourself out." Immediately, Sam's pupils are blown, leaving only a thin ring of brown. He flops down, bonelessly, in front of the screen, one hand already on his fly. Dean runs from the room, making a mental note not to come back until he's absolutely certain Sam will be finished. As he walks out the door, he thinks to himself, man, Sam's vanilla. Thank God he never found out about me and the Impala.

Note: Shout out to

kroki_refurand Sam's angsty poetry for the "stains in my soul" bit, to Terry Pratchett for the dangers of thinking in italics, and to all the lovely people on the TWOP fanfic thread for the boneless thing. Also, today's your last chance to BuyBuyBuy at Sweet Charity! I've got stories on offer, as do tonnes of really talented people. You should go bid.

Also, I do not condone bestiality in any way. And, um, I'm sorry?

Me in a window in Amsterdam, possibly with a red light.....

Fri, 18 Jan 2008 11:27:48 GMT

Bidding is open for Sweet Charity! This is entirely awesome. You go to BuyBuyBuy to see who's on offer. Clearly, you should bid on EVERYONE, since it's all for a very worthy cause. However, I am my own pimp, so, if you're wanting me to get back to bureaucracy verse, or have a burning desire to see that Sam/EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE WORLD story I've been oking about, now's your chance! I'll even do angst, if you ask very nicely *g*

Unfortunatly, I've managed to mess up what I was offering, so instead of offering two stories, I seem to be offering to write two stories for whoever wins me. Anyone know how I can change that?

Ooops

Sun, 13 Jan 2008 12:24:23 GMT

Oh dear. I have come to the realisation that the sammessiahDemon Jesus 100 ends today, and the story I foolishly, and possibly drunkenly, signed up for has not yet been started.

This is complicated because I think my prompt might be the crackiest thing ever. So, listies, what do you reckon? The prompt is

68) ~~Sam was Azazel's favourite not because of his training, but rather because Sam shares his… fascination… concerning the members of the species Capra aegagrus.~~

View Poll: Baaah!

Hoyay!

Obviously, hoyay is all for the good. But, as of today, I am also officially a Ho, yay!

I have signed up, feeling good since I wimped out the last time. It's for the writers guild strike fund, which is surely a pretty noble cause. Also, check out the sexy banner *loves*

This is really getting silly now

Kripke, why must you do this to your Supernatural fans? WHY? I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU SO MUCH. (Yet, at the same time, I love you. My feelings are confused! This is yet another of the things I hate you for. Just so you know.

....

(What, you want backstory? Ok, then missyjackposted 3.11 promo pictures on her lj, and they are ridiculousy, ludicrously porny. Why must he tease us so? )

WTF DRUNKENESS?

Mon, 07 Jan 2008 23:28:39 GMT

OK, guys, seriously!

I haven't been catching up with you gusy as ,uch as I should have been, due to some stupid university issues of my own and aslo due to being HOME, yay! Anyway, I log on tonight after a fun night of drinking champagne and manhattans and white wine with my family, while watching "Hairspray" and "The Mighty Boosh" to find all my f-list drunk! YAY!

I love you guys so much, you rule officially, logically, trully and finally! I'm going to bed now, but, seriousluy? I'm so glad I know you all! My ENTIRE FRIENDS LIST is made f some of the best, funniest and mosty awesome people in fandom.

Also? Someone needs to write a story and crosspost it with the "pairings" line "Sam/EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE WORLD". That's all I'm saying.
