I am grumpy and frustrated, so, you know, to give the middle finger to that...

Here are a few of my favorite things:

• Neon Trees - Animal
  
• Holiday shaped Reese's peanut butter cups. Right now: pumpkins. Om nom nom.
  
• gyzym's Wherever You Will Be (That's Where I'll Call Home) 'verse.
  
• The due date on my biology assignment getting pushed back.
  
• YOU. YES, YOU. ♥
  

I showed you mine, guys, now show me yours.

Oh my god, I've been home all of thirty minutes all day long, and I am tired, but still, STILL I FIND TIME TO FLAIL.

aredblush DREW MORE CARE BEARS to go with Everything Is Coming Up Rainbows and they are so adorable, you guys. SO ADORABLE.

YOU SHOULD ALL GO LOOK AND SEE AND SHOWER HER WITH PRAISE BECAUSE OH MY GOD THEY ARE SO, SO MUCH CUTER THAN ANYTHING I COULD EVER WRITE.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

You should all go check out The Rigelian Reproduction Ritual by musesfool because, man, she wrote Middleman/Wendy Watson aliens made them do it. Also, it will earworm you like no other. You'll see.

And, and, and aredblush drew the most adorable Arthur/Eames birthday card. It is so, so great.



Ah, this was an awesome birthday, you guys. AWESOME. There was good food, and cupcakes for breakfast, and a great deal of sangria, and--most importantly--a bunch of awesome people.

Thanks so much for all the birthday wishes, good thoughts and gifts, you guys. You are all fabulous, and you make all the shit in life seem like it's miles away. You make my days better constantly, and I love you. ♥♥♥♥♥♥

There aren't enough hearts in the world for all of you. THANK YOU.

My Chem. OH MY GOD, MY CHEM. I KNEW I MISSED YOU BUT I HAD NO IDEA HOW MUCH. ♥♥♥

GIMME MORE, GIMME MORE, GIMME MORE.


::clears throat::

For those of you here for the Inception squee and not the bandom squee:
( I am so in love with this video it isn't even funny. )

In conclusion: KISS ME, YOU ANIMAL.

You guys, OMG, aredblush DREW MORE INCEPTION CARE BEARS Oh, my god, they are glorious. GLORIOUS. GO LOOK AND LOVE THEM AND BE JEALOUS BECAUSE SHE DREW THEM FOR ME. Arthur! And Eames! And Cobb's squint!

::happy sigh:: The joy this brings me just cannot be textually rendered, okay. It cannot. This is as close as I can get:

♥___________________♥

Of course, this now means that it is my turn. Which brings me to:

Does anyone happen to have some knowledge of ballroom dancing they feel like dropping on me? I'm leaning toward profession foxtrotting. Not for me, I mean, but, you know. ::coughs innocently::

You guys! You guys, LET ME TELL YOU A STORY. This is a story of Fandom History.

See, it happened like this bookshop on a dark and stormy posted a prompt the the inception_kink meme.

jibrailis wrote an AMAZING fill for this prompt, Flannel: A Love Story, which you should all go read if you haven't yet, because, see earlier re: AMAZING.

aredblush read this story, and then drew adorable art for it!

In the comments of that post, aredblush said, "I WANT ALL THE FLANNEL FICS IN THE WORLD! GIVE ME ALL OF IT! ESPECIALLY IF THE FLANNEL IS EAMES' AND ARTHUR BORROWS IT AND THEN HE WILL BE IN OVERSIZED FLANNEL THAT SMELLS LIKE EAMES!"

I filled this request with the story I posted in the dead of night last night/this morning, Like I Wanna Live Now, because I've apparently given up the ghost of writing something that isn't so fluffy cotton candy takes a step back to say, "whoa, whoa... that is fluffy."

THEN (and this is the most exciting part for me, really) aredblush decided to DO ARTWORK FOR THE STORY. You guys, it is so adorable! It is the most adorable ever! I am just OVERCOME WITH HEARTEYES. GO LOOK AT IT, I PROMISE IT IS WAY CUTER THAN THE STORY COULD EVER DREAM OF BEING!

In more happy-making things:

Haircut today!

And, I know, you've probably seen this little video, but...

( JOSEPH MOTHERFUCKING GORDON-LEVITT SINGING BAD ROMANCE )

If you'll excuse me, I need a moment to collect myself from all the JOY.

I have actually--hold on to your hats--completed every task on my to-do list! Amazing! It's a Christmas Labor Day miracle!

I have also found that it is endlessly easier to write fic in a comment box than it is in Word. I don't know what that's all about, really, but if you're very unlucky, you might even get to see some proof of this very soon.

So, I know this is going to be ALL OVER EVERYONE'S F-LIST, but, I must say, re: Iron Man 2: OMG SO AWESOME. SO VERY AWESOME. I WANT TO SEE IT AGAIN ALREADY. RIGHT NOW. I WANTED TO SEE IT AGAIN HALF WAY THROUGH.

Other commentary without spoilers:

• I love Tony Stark so much it is borderline certifiable. I am not even kidding.
  
• IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR RDJ TO BE ANY HOTTER THAN HE IS IN THIS MOVIE WITHING MELTING ANY SURFACE HE COMES IN CONTACT WITH.
  
• Which would honestly be a shame, because damn he looks good in those suits.
  
• You know how sometimes you are so, so excited for a movie that you are almost certain nothing in the world can live up to that excitement? Like, you are expecting so much awesome it is sort of doomed to disappoint you in some small way, no matter how much you keep telling yourself that you're being a crazy person to EXPECT so much? Yeah. THIS IS THE MOVIE THAT BLOWS YOU AWAY BY EXCEEDING THE ALREADY INSANE LEVELS OF AWESOME YOU ARE EXPECTING, OK.
  

I, uh, am sure I also had commentary about SPN. But Tony Stark has stolen ALL MY ATTENTION.

I would like to runaway to somewhere tropical, where the only thing that's frozen is my drink.

I do not want to start back to classes tomorrow. Stupid classes.

However, to soften the blow, Chuck starts back tonight! Chuck! It's very nearly almost here even! With spyjinks and adorkableness and awesome. Chuck! My happy place show!

musesfool and I were just talking about how much I want a Chuck high school AU. I mean, really. Or some Chuck/Bryce. Or possibly both.

YAY YULETIDE IS DONE AND BETAED AND POSTED. YAY!!!

("!!!" always makes me do that thing with my hands, now, and my god, I miss Middleman. ::sniffles::)

Also, sleepismyfriend installed a new moodtheme for me. Oh, Merlin. Merlin, Merlin, Merlin, how I love you so.

HOLY SHIT IF THIS IS FOR REAL I MIGHT DIE. IF IT'S NOT FOR REAL I MIGHT.

BLINK! PANIC! FOB! IT'S LIKE HEAVEN IN A CONCERT.

Except the tour dates closest to me are during school days and I for real and for true could not give less of a fuck. I am going, going, going.

I want St. Louis, Kansas City & Dallas at the very least. I will miss school, I don't even care. Do you think I could get a doctors note? Since clearly I am sick?

Who else is going? To what shows? WILL YOU LET ME GO WITH YOU BECAUSE EVERYONE I KNOW IN RL IS LAME AND FAILS TO UNDERSTAND MY GLEE.

OMG. BRB, DYING. ECSTATIC DOES NOT COVOR OMG.

First of all if this is for real [oh, god, oh, god, pleasepleaseplease] I may have to sell everything I own and follow a tour around for a few months. I want to get this out of the way so it doesn't really take away from what I am about to say next.

Which is: I totally kicked the ACT's ass.

Well, ok, no, that's pretty much a big giant exaggeration, and the math, you know, got in a couple of kidney punches. But whatever. The point is: I scored higher than my brother who keeps trying to tell me how much smarter he is.

I gotta take my victories where I can.

Still sad I'm missing Jack's Mann. tonight though.

In unrelated news, I think luzdeestrellas also sings this a lot when dealing with me.

If this season of SPN ends and my boys are not together, I'm totally going to have to write the stupid story about how they push their baggage aside and get back to where they were before, back to season one, back to saving people! hunting things! Back to being awesome, bickering, bantering boys who love each other more than anything else in the world and aren't kind of batshit insane about it. I'm not even sure it would be Sam/Dean, but they'd totally drive off into the sunset on a case that isn't the end of the world, arguing over who gets control of the radio and whether or not Dean's growth was stunted by bacon cheeseburgers.

I mention this cause, ugh, BOYS. They are making me go crazy. I keep thinking it's Thursday! But it continues to not be!

I HAS WII AND NEW CAMERA.

SO PRETTY.

SO, SO PRETTY.

Now, I'm going to a friends For Ladies Only party. I've been promised that there will be booze and Guitar Hero following the sex toys.

Today = A++

Coke has a new ad campaign, right? Well, they're supposed to. Either way, Brendon Urie, Patrick Stump and, uh, I'm pretty sure Travis McCoy, um among others do the new song for it. I might just, I might just be a little in love.

I've maybe had it on repeat since last night. I want to dig out the stuff so I can use it as an alarm clock in the mornings. Seriously.

I am that lame.

Also, also, CHUCK. CHUCK IN 3D.

He's so freaking cute. I'd like to put him on a screen with Jensen. And maybe Jared. I'd either laugh myself into a coma, or die from all the hot/cute/adorable.

It's kind of a toss up as to which would be better, honestly.

There has to be that crossover somewhere...

I got kidnapped last night for my birthday and taken to a comedy club! Well, first I was taken to a piercing place. My nose is pierced now! It's kind of stupidly big because it was all they had that wasn't nickle. But!

OMG I got so, so, so very wasted.

Like, seriously, I'm glad I was the only one there with a camera. I have control of the pictures. bwahahahaha. So. Very. Wasted.

And the only thing I had twice was a shot of Jose. That bastard. I need to eat because I'm getting ready to go get my tattoo, but my tummy is grumbling about that plan. Hm. It's been a while, so I'd let myself forget how Jose always ties me up in knots.

Seriously. The plan was to numb my face.

Success!

I have the best friends, you guys, for real.

There's really no point to this post, except: \o/

Which I, um, might totally do a lot when I've been drinking. Maybe.

You'll never find photographic evidence.
