dirty words

sparktober!!!!!

PRETTY MUCH!!

And as if to celebrate, irony_rocks discovered that I won a fandom award I didn't know about! She won too, and she didn't know about it either. Thank you, Gatefic!



("Ascent" is here, for those of you who didn't know me in 2005 or are like "Jaysus, Little Red, when are you going to organize your fics into some kind of useful index?" Or both. And wow, I feel like a tool for not replying to all those comments, but I probably shouldn't do it now six years later.)

I haven't completely finished my Day 1 Sparktober fic, but there's tomorrow and it's been a long week and there was work and Red Sox and more work and mentalness and then there was Sparktober and weekend and the former lj user nafy being the awesomest of awesomes and I really just need to curl up and snooze and soak in happiness and things I have done well and how other people remember me even when I don't. <3 I'm really lucky.

NOW EVERYONE DO THIS MEME SO I CAN ARRANGE FOR ALLCAPS AND GLITTER TO EXPLODE ALL OVER YOU.

Happy birthday, havocthecat!!!

In honor of her birthday, we threw a porn battle in sparktober (honestly, wtf else would you do for her birthday? i ask you!) and there has been INSUFFICIENT PORN!

My flist is a collection of some of the naughtiest minds in the fandom! Please, get ye to Comment-Porn-Fic-Battle-Fest-Thing! post haste (that means omgrightnow!) and contribute prompts and porn snippets and general flailing!

You know why? I just spent the evening with hihoplastic and peanutbutterer! Who are both substantially cooler than me, and I have MOOCHED their coolness for the purposes of the subject line of this post.

(pb is exactly as cool in real life as she is on the internet, which is to say, very freaking cool. hiho is less excitable than I expected while still being very excitable, probably because my previous interactions with her have gone something like <3 <3 !!!!! <3 <3 !!)

We came up with totally brilliant fandom plans that we're probably not motivated enough to actually implement, and which have probably already been done while we weren't paying attention (a cliche ficathon - that happened, right? an episode-related-athon? how come I miss all the cool stuff?). Also, Elizabeth Weir's hair. And what we might accidentally say if we met Stargate actors ("Hi! It's great to meet you! I've totally written porn about you! ... Nice job in Bliss!").

peanutbutterer reminded me that Sparktober approacheth. hihoplastic encouraged me to go on a leave of absence from work to write "Second Chances," which she has never actually read and would likely have no interest in since she's not an SG-1 fan, because she's just that good at enabling people.

The moral of this story is: you wish you lived in Oregon right now. :) (And I wish hiho were not going to pursue higher education elsewhere to better herself or learn something or whatever. Hmph!)

As an aside, pb, we totally need Sparky credentials. Like for real. They should be laminated, and we should scare all our coworkers with them whenever they casually mention they watch the Sci-Fi channel.

SecretAdmirerAnonymeme

I mean, my flist tends to be a mutual adoration society anyway, so I'm not sure the anonymity is required, but everyone should do this because I'd love an extra opportunity to adore you. :)

(Does anyone else do these anonymemes and feel like there is no way to couch their writing style into actual anonymity? It's like I tick the "post as anonymous" button and suddenly I can't think of anything to write except "omg! gleee! sparky! *flail*!" and I would probably be a really terrible spy.)

Title: "Simplifying Fractions"
Keywords: The Happy Voyager Project. Ocampalets. Harry Kim. If you're not aj, chances are you will not appreciate it.
Dedication: Good thing it's for aj then, with birthday gleeewishes!


( A lot of things had changed since Kes had children. )

to the fabulous and wonderful anr!!!!!!

There are many wonderful things to like about Nessie. Nessie is the mostest fabulest fandom drug pusher out there (sorry, aj, you are a close second!). I mean, the chick got me into RPF of all things, and all through the innocent little gateway drug of sparky and enterprise and all these other harmless little things.

But you know the REAL problem with anr? She lives in Australia, which is the most expensive place ever to escape to! But I still have plans of saving my pennies and running away to live under her bed where we can write fanfic together and rekindle the squeee through lots of intensive teevee-watching and article-reading.

<3

Mad love, babe. Happy birthday!

-- Little Red, who actually still has your Christmas present on her desk to mail...

So much xmassing! :)

( Only 7 More Shopping Days! )

And then I got home to more xmassing!! :) izzildor, your pressie arrived and sister wrapped it before I could see! (So I will still pretend to be surprised, omgyay!) And thank you so much for CARDS which are now on my tree to alianne, jacksrubberduck and slm76!

In non-xmas news, I got official reject notices from a couple of jobs and am interviewing for a couple more. Today, I had a wonderful interview for a wonderful position that does not actually exist. They want me to come back tomorrow to meet more people for this entirely hypothetical position, which would be soooo exciting if, you know, they hadn't already told me there pretty much wasn't a job? They also want me to draw up sample marketing materials for them, for fun, maybe. Very confusing. I also have a phone interview with an industrial company who is disappointed that I do not have more experience with hydraulics. I don't know what a hydraulic is. I just looked at their website, and it really didn't clear it up for me at all. *feels rather terminally unqualified*

Happy Birthday karma_aster!!!!!

I have no ficlet prepared for you, because I couldn't decide via my crystal ball what you would most like! So sometime today, drop me a challenge (pairing and any other challenging thingger -- i.e. a place, an object, a bit of dialogue, whatever) and a birthday ficlet will appear! :)

*loves you liek whoa, even when you are sad*
