New favorite "I am an adult" moment:

truemajority and I bought crayons yesterday, which I put in my new Jonas Brothers purse because, y'know, why use a bag for just crayons (well, also lip gloss and a scarf, but).

So then of course when we went out to eat and I went to get my wallet, the crayons were the first thing visible. In my Disney purse. Because. I am an adult.

Christmas music season is in full swing! My favorite time of yeeeeear oh god. I have all sorts of plans to bombard you with Christmas music at some point, but until I am unlazy enough to actually do that, feel free to pick through the stuff I uploaded for

blackwayfarers here (what's in there).

I was originally going to post about a number of angsty/depressing/melancholy things but I am apparently being positive, so that's all you get, crayons and Christmas music.

You guuuuuys I have the coolest room EVER now. Also I shouldn't be allowed in Wal-Mart (or, alternately, trusted with my own money?), they have TOO MUCH DISNEY SHIT. But I have a CAMP ROCK BLANKET so I can sleep with the Jonai EVERY NIGHT LOL (last night it was WAY TOO HOT FOR A BLANKET, did that stop me? OF COURSE NOT) and a Troy Bolton pillow so I can put it on top of the blanketKevin when I'm not sleeping and there can be KEVRON ON MY BED, and a Camp Rock window valance so Jemi can PROTECTIVELY HOVER OVER MY HEAD oh god what is my life.

I went in for BLINDS. ONLY BLINDS.

( Pictures of THE AWESOME )

Also have a gratituous kitty picture that was apparently on my camera.

Also also, go see Bandslam it is legitimately good. I am completely in love with it and wanna go see it A BAJILLION TIMES. I know my taste is suspect but it is NOT REALLY DISNEY-Y at all even a little, I promise! Go see it.

Smoking and fanwanking (although to be fair, this latest round has been far less wanky than I expected, and far less than any other round) appear to be a symbiotic relationship; when I get to that point where I can't respond without hostility, I go for a cigarette before I reply. Which ends up with me smoking more, and fanwanking longer, since I'm not shutting down discussion with OMG UR STUPID.

OTW in cahoots with Camel? You heard it here first, folks.

People are talking about me today, soon I'll be able to tell people if they haven't heard of me, they must live in a cave.

- I represent the Island of Misfit Fen (in a good way)
- In the comments to that same entry, I express myself "beautifully"
- I am bound to cause wank (my favorite thing about this link is "Ohoh. If you don't know who these people are, YOU LIVE IN A CAVE. Oh please. I also fail to see how a personal website shows anything. Actually, the whole flamewar proves h_r's point, really.")
- My favorite: I am a man-hater, accusing someone of sexist behavior not because he was being sexist, but simply because he was male. I'm so oppressive!

(BTW, if you've been following OTW, John Scalzi's whole post is worth reading, as are the comments, which range from moronic to hilarious to rage-inducing to ingelligent)

Yes, I truly am an internet superstar. Will I make fandom_wank? TIME WILL TELL.

In other news, the nice thing about leaving tomorrow instead of yesterday: yesterday and today were in the high/mid-60s. Tomorrow's gonna be in the 40s. I would much rather leave from 40-degrees-and-raining than 65-and-sunny on my way to Blizzardtopia.

I have some leftover stamps, and leftover cards, so:

The first 8 people to respond with their addresses get Christmas cards.

Comments screened.

(anyone doing the RF Card Exchange, it probably goes without saying you don't need to bother...)

OKAY SO

last Tuesday we presented and handed in our screenplays. I just got my e-mail from the professor, and while it loaded I had a nice freakout because the filesize was so small.

Heidi:

It's a real winner! Good dialogue, fine structure, producible and a meaningful theme. Couldn't be better. You have a career.

OMGWTFYAY.

(I may post it in

hectorfic at some point)

I totally forgot to post this earlier!

Yesterday and today my screenwriting professor scheduled one-on-one meetings for each of us, to go over the completed first drafts of our screenplays. I was supposed to meet with him yesterday morning, but early + anxiety + procrastinating too long = bad combo so I rescheduled for today at noon.

Even with having to reschedule once due to procrastination, I procrastinated. I ended up finishing at like 11:45 this morning and had to rush to print it and get there on time. Made it.

Anxietyanxietyanxietyanxiety. Jesus shit. This professor is intense as Hell and scared the shit out of me ANYWAY, multiply that by one-on-one and add this was the first actual complete screenplay I've attempted (we've done little exercises to learn dialogue, and practiced formatting with those, but...not the same, lol).

It was THE MOST STRESSFUL THING EVER. He just SAT THERE and read through it and occasionally scribbled on it with his black pen (I wish it were red. Black doesn't stand out very well, harder to retype) and sometimes muttered something and HEART ATTACK.

And...partway through maybe the third page, third or fourth, he started looking up every now and then and complimenting me. Complimenting the piece. Pointing out things he liked. Telling me how well something worked. Accompanying one of his scribblings with "that's a really great line you've got buried there."

You guys? He liked my fucking screenplay. Like, really liked it. He had NO comments regarding plot or setup or characterization, just grammatical errors and a few little dialogue things.

MY SCREENPLAY DOESN'T SUCK. YOU GUYS. I ROCK.

Item the first: I <3 you guys.

Item the second: Meme

1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie!

Opening Credits: Save Us Now - Edguy (my movie has alien drum bunnies! Anyone surprised?)
Waking Up: Demolition Man - Def Leppard (this is shaping up to be an action movie. Bitchin')
First Day At School: Neurotica - Bon Jovi (this is the part where I shag all the hot schoolgirls, natch)
Falling In Love: Stranger in a Strange Land - Iron Maiden ("My hardened action-hero heart has never known love before - this is all so strange!")
Fight Song: The Worst Day Since Yesterday - Flogging Molly (OMG totally an action movie. One of the alien drum bunnies attacks and I'm all "Not again! This is the worst day since yesterday." and then I kick ASS)
Breaking Up: The Price of Love - Bon Jovi (YOU GUYS this movie is so awesome. "I hate to break your heart, hot lesbian schoolgirl, but it's a price we all have to pay sometime - the price of love." And then she cries in the rain)
Life: From the Inside - Def Leppard (okay, so I'm an action hero with a drug problem)
Mental Breakdown: Cyanide - Deathstars (I can't reconcile all the [alien drum bunny] lives I've taken without mah drugs, so I attempt suicide)
Driving: Lavatory Love Machine - Edguy (And I'm scared of flying)
Flashback: Trinidad - Edguy (That time I cheated on my lesbian schoolgirl with some sort of lesbian island princess, obv.)
Getting Back Together: Wasted Years - Iron Maiden (Oh lesbian schoolgirl! You believed in me all along. I wasted so much time without you *make out in the rain*)
Wedding: Four-Letter Word - Def Leppard (Um. I think I might actually use this song as my real-life wedding vows.)
Birth of Child: Far Away Boys - Flogging Molly (Why are lesbians having a baby in an action movie? BECAUSE IT'S AN ALIEN DRUM BUNNY SHIT BITCHES GET FAR AWAY, BOYS, SO I CAN WASTE THIS MUTHAFUCKA)
Final Battle: Postcards From the Wasteland - Bon Jovi (Right before the alien drum bunny breathes its last, I'm all "Send me a postcard from Hell, bitch")
Death Scene: All the Clowns - Edguy (I die at the circus, apparently)
Funeral Song: Play God - Deathstars (If I find out you guys didn't actually have this song played at my funeral? I'mma be haunting some bitches)

(To be fair, I didn't CHEAT, but I'm on campus and all I have are the songs from the Top Ten meme a bit ago)

Item the third: Price of Love to From the Inside to Cyanide = WORST TRANSITIONS EVER

ROCKOUTROCKOUTROCKOUTROCKOUT hey, drugs'll fuck you up *sad face* ENRAGED ROCKOUT

There were two really nice things about starting work on the prompt machine: One, most of what I needed to know I'd already done for the smut generator and was extremely comfortable with it and two, I knew exactly what it was I needed to learn.

( Click for massive amounts of nerding )

So there it is. A site that takes any character lists, chooses two characters at random, adds a prompt that's silly or serious at the user's discretion and, if the user so chooses, assigns a special extra limitation.

God, you guys. I rock so hard.

Remember the Smut Generator?

I got bored again :)

The Prompt Machine.

It's the online version of the crack drabble dice game I posted about a while back. Yaaay crack. But it has normal prompts, too! And limitations! Write a fic where the word count is a palindrome, bitches.

I rock so hard.

Lemme know if you run into any problems, or have any ideas for prompts/limitations/whatevers.

(This was supposed to take all weekend :( Of course, there's plenty I could tweak...)

(Man, I need to find someone who'll pay me for these quicky little fic scripting projects. THEN I'd be set)

Writeup of the process coming, for those of you nerdy enough to get off on that shit (ie

silicondreams)

Top Ten meme again. See last entry.

stonefinder gave me Iron Maiden (if only I meant that literally...)

2 Minutes to Midnight - Random: every now and then I get this and "Bring Your Daughter..." stuck in my head at the same time. Two! Minutes! To mi-idnight! Let her go! Let her go! Let her go!...Yeah. I rock, I know.
Download

Aces High - The cartoon version of this video is the best thing EVER. EVER. Iron Maiden vs. Nazis. THIS NEEDS TO BE MADE INTO A MOVIE. (Also: Cartoon Nicko is effing adorable). I generally end up singing this in the shower. Poor roommate. I should also add that if I didn't already want to have sex with every one of the Iron Maidens because hot metal chicks, their version of this'd do it.
Download

Bring Your Daughter to the Slaughter - Ahahaha so cheesy. But so awesome. And that husky-growly thing Bruce does with his voice is *dies*
Download

The Clairvoyant - I have no blessed idea why I like this one so much. But I do omg. Have I mentioned that I love Bruce? Because Bruce <3
Download

Fear of the Dark - The Rock in Rio video of this is totally porn. Short haired Bruce all running around and leaping and tight jeans and porn. It's porn. Bruceporn. And the part where it's slow is all OMG kinda creepy awesome and then it gets fast and it's all OMG *rockout* and yeah, bitches.
Download

Stranger in a Strange Land - Bruce's outfit in this video is both a crime against fashion and OMGHOT. Why is it I only ever talk about songs in terms of their videos? Hmm. I just mmmmm love this song. Particularly the "no brave new world...no bra-ave new woooorld" parts. Mmmm. And this is one of few songs I'd be perfectly happy listening to without any vocals. So good.
(No download, I don't have an mp3 of this atm [I fire up Visions of the Beast when I need a fix...which, hey, is probably why I keep talking about stuff in terms of the video])

The Trooper - One of my ringtones! My alarm, actually. WHOA-OH-OH-OH-OH-OH-OH-OH-OH. Yeah bitches. We don't need no stinkin' words, we have SYLLABLES. Mmmmm, syllables.
Download

Wasted Years - FAVORITE. FAVORITE EVER. I LOVE this fucking song. So hard. It's just *gibberish* and *noise* and OMGSOGOOD. Love. Lovelovelove. *marries it* *has its babies* *marries them, too, because THIS IS AWESOME ENOUGH TO DRIVE ME TO INCESTUOUS POLYGAMY*
Download

Where Eagles Dare - I've loved this song since before I knew it was Maiden. When I was crazy into wrestling and obsessed with Chris Jericho I picked up a couple Fozzy cds, and at the time I didn't know they were all cover songs. And this was my favorite of the bunch. Anyway, so I finally start getting into metal beyond Fozzy, download Piece of Mind 'cause NICKO, and - oh hey, I know this song! And it turns out it TOTALLY SUCKED BEFORE, because OMG.
Download

The Wicker Man - More short-haired-Bruce-in-jeans porn. Mmmmmm. YOUR TIME WILL COME. YOUR TIME WILL CO-O-O-OME. Totally. Bitches better recognize.
Download

(Remind me to not do another one of these all hopped up on caffeine. Jesus)

Me: Write Bon Jovi fic to clear your mind

sidewinder: ...sexin' it up with Al Gore
Me: I don't know what it is about Gore but he's EVERYWHERE lately

in one of my classes we now have this big inside joke about Al Gore with laser eyes fighting polar bears (....yeah...) and you and your dam JBJ/Gore sex

~~perhaps I could combine the two. Laser-Eyes Gore with his trusty sidekick Self-Lubing Ass JBJ fight Global Warming Man~~

sidewinder: :D

Roger would approve.

( If you thought I had any sanity left, and wish to preserve this assumption, don't click )

( First, Action Figures )

( And, of course, KITTINZ )

I've reached new levels of dork.

I have "Turbo Lover" stuck in my head and Gina wanted to cuddle, so she's been treated to several rounds of..."you're my kitty kitt-ay".

*dorkdorkdork*

I've posted this in

hms_blogfic but I'll post it here, too, 'cause I've really enjoyed writing for challenges lately.

1. Pick a genre---slash, het, gen, or a combination;
2. Pick your characters---up to 4;
3. Pick a fic type--humor, angst, PWP, or a background to something I've written;
4. Now....pick from the below:
a. First time
b. Worst (fill in the blank) ever
c. Best (fill in the blank) ever
d. Something scary
e. Something side-splitting funny
f. Normal day, just being another person

I HAVE NAMED THE KITTIES

prepare to cringe:

Tommy & Gina

(shut up Tommy is totally a girl's name)

I'll let the chat log speak for itself:

9:51:15 PM hector_rashbaum (Heidi): I've gotta find someone for Richie. I've done Nicko/Tico, Bruce/Jon, David/Markus...
9:51:35 PM hector_rashbaum (Heidi): oh yeah, Jon/Tobi
9:51:55 PM heavvymetal_queen (Lia): *splode*
9:52:13 PM hector_rashbaum (Heidi): haha
9:52:30 PM hector_rashbaum (Heidi): which one were you sploding at?
9:52:54 PM heavvymetal_queen (Lia): Most of em but Jon/Tobi, yum
9:53:24 PM hector_rashbaum (Heidi): :D

the drabble that ATE MY FREAKING BRAIN and taught me the folly of adding "and any combination" to a list of bands in a drabble challenge
9:53:59 PM heavvymetal_queen (Lia): But that's the way the crack comes to you!
9:54:03 PM hector_rashbaum (Heidi): yes
9:54:18 PM hector_rashbaum (Heidi): and it was deliciously cracky. And someday I wouldn't mind writing more.
9:54:31 PM heavvymetal_queen (Lia): We should totally buy gaming dices and roll for random pairings
9:54:47 PM hector_rashbaum (Heidi): don't say that, I've got a lovely die right here
9:55:11 PM hector_rashbaum (Heidi): 12-sides

so I could totally assign each side to a person and roll twice...
9:55:19 PM heavvymetal_queen (Lia): :D
9:55:35 PM hector_rashbaum (Heidi): I hate you
9:56:13 PM heavvymetal_queen (Lia): Or roll three times, assigning to each side a prompt for the third roll

And so.

( The lists we've been using )

( Tico and Andi ...wake up naked together and don't remember a thing )

( Viv and David ...at the circus )

( Joe and Markus ...bad boy fantasy )

YAY CRACK

I got my license! OMGYAY.

Hopped on real quick to see if grades had been posted...

CSIS 	2065 	UG 	Java Programming 	A+

OMGOMGOMGWTFOMG

I finished my paper! Yaaaaaaaaaaay.

I finished the big-ass fic I've been working on. Clocks in at 13,349 words.

I...think it's the best thing I've ever written. I do know I've never quite had the emotional reaction to anything else - the last 1000 or so words, I was crying so hard I could barely type. I mean...shit. It's good.

I might post it all in one go at RockFic. But there are some cliffhangers in there that are just to delicious not to force on people. Heh.

I don't know. I'm kinda shellshocked right now. Intense shit.

And now...back to Mondrian, I think. Or maybe some mindless net surfing, THEN Mondrian.
