Alright.

*deep breath"

After reading an exceptional amount of bad fic, I think that everyone needs a chance to vent their fanfiction cliche hates.

Any fandom.  Any cliche.  Anything goes.

I'll start -

If I read another Twilight fic where Jasper refers to Carlisle as 'Dad', I just might track down the author by IP address and put an alligator in their bed.

This entry is public, because everyone needs a chance to vent.

missusjackson (aka chococoffeekiss) is getting married next week!

EVERYONE PARTY!

Booze, hot boys and normally inappropriate items are all welcome

I'm bringing....

( BACHLORETTE PARTY! )

EVERYONE COME PARTY!!!!

Once upon a time, many, moons ago, when I must have been on lots of crack, I made Twilight "art". And then I followed it up by New Moon "art".

And now as a present to the wonderful people at for_forks_sake for successfully completing the drabble challenge, I now present...

ECLIPSE IN 60 SECONDS

(For previous 'installments' click Twilight in 60 Seconds and New Moon in 60 Seconds)

( Lulzy 'art' in which I show off my mad skillz )

Hope you like it!

FYT - MOAR JASPER

I saw the Best Picture nominees yesterday. All five of them.

Our local AMC had a marathon - $30 to see all 5 movies in a row, and free popcorn all day. The Boyfriend, myself and two friends (A and K) headed off, with our comfy shoes and sweatpants on and pockets full of smuggled in candy. We got there at 10, first film started at 10:30, and we didn't get out of there until 11:45pm, except for our escapes to Starbucks between films during the 20-30 minute breaks. It was a long, great day.

In short - I liked all 5 movies, though of course I had my favourites :)

( In Long - )

javidanand scarlett71177</lj>, how you doing?

I can't see across the street because of the blizzard!

Rules:
For eight days you have to post something that made you happy that day. Tag eight people to do the same.

As I've been tagged by lillbet and bratty_jedi , I guess its time to get started on this.  Like bratty_jedi , I'm going to talk about the previous day.  I'm just a badass that way :)

Happy of Tuesday

- The Dark Knight on Blu-Ray.  This is the first movie we've got on bluray and for the life of me I can't figure out why we haven't bought any before.  It was fantastic.   I had seen it in theatres, but now I have a nice shiny copy of my own, and can watch the awesome that is Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Aaron Eckheart and Gary Oldman in extreme high def from the comfort of my couch.  Now I just need to convince The Boyfriend that we don't need to rebuy all our DVDs on Blu-ray...

- Watching Merlin on Youtube at work.  Damn CBC and BBC Canada for cockblocking my ability to watch it in legal formats.

- Fan girling with ladybracknell and javidan 

- The longest fic review ever from duck_or_rabbit .  3 comments long!

Wednesday night I got a call from my dad - which was a shock in itself as I can count the amount of times my dad has ever called me on my fingers - informing me that he was going to be in town Thursday night and he was taking me out. Dinner and then the Neil Young concert.

Met him after work, dinner was lovely, then headed over to the ACC for the show. Seats were alright - stage left about half way up. Opening bands were great, Everest and Wilco - although my dad was a little put off by Wilco's random electric guitar rifts in the middle of acoustic songs :)

During the break between Wilco and Neil, we snuck up to The Boyfriend's company box to take advantage of the free beer. Our plan originally was to go back down to our real seats before Neil came on, but in the end we stayed in the box. It was farther from the stage, but much more spacious with bigger seats (as well as the free bar). My dad is waiting for a knee replacement so the ability to move around and not sit all cramped up was much appreciated.

The show was. awesome. ladybracknell, you almost got a phone call during Cinnamon Girl until I realised that although the gesture would probably be well liked, the fact that it would have been 3am your time probably wouldn't. Neil rocked for 2 and a half solid hours with no stops, and surprised everyone with his encore of a cover of The Beatles' A Day in the Life Of. Spectactular show.

My dad was thrilled and on cloud nine. We don't see each other much, so it was great to spend time with him and not bicker about innane things (which we normally do). I wouldn't have been able to see the great show without him as The Boyfriend didn't have a ticket for me this time around. Something about having to take clients and not me. Pfft. I showed him :)

It's pretty.  
And full of boxes.
That is all.

I'm not really surprised...

Dear Santa... Dear Santa, This year I've been busy! In August I stole bratanimus's purse (-30 points). In September I set almond_joyz's puppy on fire (-66 points).

Overall, I've been naughty (-87 points). For Christmas I deserve a lump of coal! Sincerely, train_lindz

How To Tell If Your Cat is Trying to Kill You...



I knew she was evil, but having an actual precentage attached to it is an eye opener...

I really need to pack :)

Happy Birthday Robyn!  In honour of your birthday I present a tribute to your fan art, which everyone should enjoy because you are insanely talented.  I hope you are having a great time in Dallas and that you have an amazing day!


Apologies to The Beatles for use of their music.  Poor sock puppetry is done by me.  I really shouldn't have been introduced to iMovie  :)

Back to packing :)

Nothing to say - just pimping :)

rillaotvalley wrote me an Emmett ficlet.  Emmett/Rosalie ficlet to be exact.  Emmett/Rosalie voyeur ficlet to be even more precise ;)

It's called In A Bind.  It needs some lovin', much like Emmett.

That is all.  Continue with the rest of your day :)

I anticipate a day of boringness. Crappy weather so I don't plan on going anywhere, so I'm memeing

Eight Things Meme that Everyone has done
1. I don't own any make up. Even if I did, I have no clue how to put it on
2. I hate eggs. Scrambled, hardboiled, sunnyside up - whatever. It's all bad. I like Easter eggs.
3. I can crack most of my knuckles just by bending them
4. I'm always crazy cold. It's not unusual for me to be wearing layers and mittens in July.
5. There are over 600 DVDs, not including TV series, on my shelf. I've run out of space and don't quite know what to do about it yet.
6. I never could understand the point of Coles Notes for books in school. Why read a book about another book instead of just reading the book itself?
7. I own an obscene amount of red clothes.
8. The LJ cut feature seems to not work anymore in my journal. I apologize if I keep breaking your flists as I have to do it in HTML, which is definately not my strong suit What else is new???

Thankgiving was good - my fridge is full of turkey and I should know tomorrow whether or not I can get the November 21st off from work to go to DC :)
