Feb. 27th, 2010 04:20 pmI am going to finish my ![[livejournal.com profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
help_haiti this weekend. I feel awful about not getting it done already, but I am completely 100% blocked and can't get over the anxiety of giving someone who paid money something that reads like I had to grit my teeth and force it out.
I'm doing that thing I do when I'm blocked in this specific way, getting obsessed with Sims and using that to play out all the ridiculous self-indulgent storylines I will never write in hopes that will get them out of my head so actual fic-worthy stuff can take its place. Kevin and girl!Ryan Ross have three kids.
I am 99% sure myjb_bigbang fic is going to be the Merlin AU; I'm fairly confident I've managed to tweak the characters/relationships enough to cast all the important parts, although I need to make a final decision whether I want to keep Uther and Gaius as some mix of themselves and OCs or keep trying to find people to fill those roles. Any suggestions from JB&Merlin fans on the flist are welcome.
Sometimes my sister doesn't suck, apparently; as a sorry-you-smashed-the-car-on-my-account gift, she bought me a box of JONAS valentines with a poster. Sometimes, my family understands me perfectly.

Oct. 20th, 2009 03:54 pmI am a MORON, and volunteered to work at our church's turkey supper tonight. Which I've doen every year since forever, EXCEPT, in past years I haven't had work all day. I got home half an hour ago and have to leave in like ten minutes. And I'llbe out until eight or nine. UUUUGH STUPID. Free dinner, though.
Oldie but goodie:
The WIP meme: post a little bit of each WIP you have (or as many as you want to pick). No context, no explanations.
( A multitude of Jonas fic, + HSM and Merlin )
WHAT SHOULD I BE WORKING ON? Tell me what catches your eye, because I have, like, a surplus of WANT TO WRITE and a huge deficit of KNOW WHAT TO WORK ON.

Crossover Conversations: Part One
Sep. 7th, 2009 02:29 pmYou are MORE THAN WELCOME to keep choosing, I just wanted to start posting.
Al Gore (RPF/Politics) & Ianto Jones (FPF/Torchwood)
"You don't, however, seem as excited as I'd imagined."
"My DVD sales were spectacular. I was working on a sequel. And don't raise your eyebrows at me like that, I haven't said no."
"I'm sure there are plenty of causes that have no slideshows, sir."
Kevin Jonas (RPF/Jonas Brothers) & Bruce Dickinson (RPF/Iron Maiden)
"It's not for me, it's for my daughter."
"Of course."
"You could at least pretend to believe me."
Tico Torres (RPF/Bon Jovi) & Uther Pendgragon (FPF/Merlin)
"My God, Arthur was right."
"Excuse me?"
"You will address me with the proper title, you – whatever-you-are."
Troy Bolton (FPF/High School Musical) & Margene Heffman (FPF/Big Love) (this turned into a ficlet. I'm bad at this game)
"I do. It's dead. And I'm late, like, late, and late I can handle, late is no problem, late just needs, like, a smile and a hair flip or something, but not showing up at all and not calling takes a little much. And this is maybe the third time my hu – boss, my boss, has sent me to a meeting on my own, and I'll never see one again if he finds out, and I hate everything today."
Rick Savage (RPF/Def Leppard), Joe Jonas (RPF/Jonas Brothers) & Joe Elliott (RPF/Def Leppard (I combined Kelpie's separate requests for Sav/Joe and Joe/Joe)
"So, okay, I guess you guys are tight with Taylor, or something, so I don't know what she's told you, but - "
Joe snorts, laughs a little. "Bloody Hell, teenagers. Don't you think it'd be a bit pathetic for a man my age to get involved in any of that?"
"Um. Yes."
Parker (FPF/Leverage) & Nick Jago (RPF/Black Rebel Motorcycle Club)
"It's not a movie."
"You're confusing."
"You're confusing."
"I just said that."
"I know."
"Okay."

Apr. 27th, 2009 07:01 pmAside from the fact that summer clothes are my favorite, and my mood tends to be better overall (not counting days where the heat gets to me, because nothing gets me crankier faster than being too hot), my opinion of summer isn't particularly high. Not necessarily low, either, really, just...middling. We've had a few decently hot (hot for Vermont in April, at least) days, and while it's been nice to get out and enjoy the sun nothing saps my energy like a hot day. Add to that the fact I don't sleep well unless I'm just-this-side of chilly, and temperature issues aside I've slept like shit this weekend and today I resemble nothing so much as a walking zombie, even after a 12-hour NyQuil sleep (the cold can't decide should it stay or should it go) and a 3 hour nap. It doesn't help that the kittens are no better than any other pets we've ever had - they go into super-purr-cuddle mode right at the moment I'm summoning the willpower to not give in to another nap.
But I'm a zombie in a very pretty outfit.
Go watch this Merlin vid by![[livejournal.com profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fizzyblogic; it's my favorite so far and that includes all the ridiculous crackvids (and you know how much I love my crack). I was never into vids before this fandom, go figure. ANYWAY. It's to "Shut Up and Drive" by Rihanna which is unexpectedly fitting and is ridiculously hot. Also awesome. Also go watch it.
Sister, mother and I went to the Maple Festival craft show for a bit on gorgeous 80-degree-sunny Saturday; I got a really pretty necklace, a silver pirate ship (*pokesarrys_girlie*) on a sparkly dark blue stone. I love the stone, it's very dark and looks black with most things, but I've been wearing lots of blues and purples and they make it look like the blue it actually is. I'll have to dig out some batteries for my camera, both Photo Booth and the phone camera have failed to capture the pretty. Pirate necklace was in lieu of a big beautiful hematite-and-blown-glass cross that was possibly the piece of jewelry I have coveted most in my lifetime, but I likely wouldn't have worn it that often - it was bigger than I like, and heavy, and entirely too dressy for everyday, or even just everySunday - and it was five times the price of my pretty pirates. So. Jewelry acquired, we wandered down to the overpriced food booths where sister and mother got maple milkshakes and I tried a maple piña colada, which tasted nothing like maple and more like someone had put far too much sweet-something in the colada mix.
The kittens (it feels absolutely ridiculous to call them kittens now, really, one is actually bigger than his mother and another is the same size as she) have ear mites, so we've been running kitty hospital. They do not like kitty hospital but none of them have particularly long memories and have forgotten (it's not quite accurate to say forgiven) within ten minutes of the ear cleaning each night.
Last night I found a full High School Musical sheets-and-comforter set on clearance at Sears; I am not ashamed to admit I hope it's still there when birthday money starts rolling in.
But I'm a zombie in a very pretty outfit.

Apr. 24th, 2009 10:52 pmMy mom is making my sister's prom dress out of red satin. I've been claiming all the remnants (there are quite a few; she misread the pattern and bought the yardage based on a 45-inch bolt, not a 58-inch) and fully intend to turn one of my Ken dolls (I am pretty sure there's no one reading this who doesn't know about my Barbie thing, but hi) into Arthur Pendragon (I have already dubbed him Arthur Kendragon, because I'm witty like that). I have all sorts of horifically tacky plans for making terribly cheesy armor out of pretty silver fabric.
I am such a dooooooooork.
In related news, the pattern is a 50s dress and I am going to dress my sister up like Betty Draper if it kills me. This would be easier if she hadn't decided five or six years ago that my taste in everything sucks.
(What's funny about that is, at the time she decided my taste was bad because I was in love with neon and animal print [shocking, yes?]. Which are now her two favorite things. Yet, somehow, I still have no taste. BUT I WILL ACCOMPLISH THIS MISSION no matter who I have to enlist)
