I've finally gotten sick of being flat broke when all these disasters hit and not doing anything to help, so I've bitten the bullet and offered fic over at help_pakistan. My thread is here. The details are there, but I'm offering a fic of at least 1000 words in Star Trek (Kirk/McCoy), Pundits (Keith/Anderson), MST3K, or Sports Night. Feel free to comment here or PM me if you have any questions. Some things I'll write and some things I won't. Try me. ;D

Like I said, I'm broke so can't bid or donate anything myself, but I figured this was at least something. Even if you're not interested in what I'm offering, check out the other offers! There's some excellent stuff there.

just sit at a computer and open a vein

I took a ride on the crazy train and signed up for au_bingo. Because I love me some AUs and I don't write nearly enough. In fact, I don't think I've written any, really. This shall be remedied! Because I got a fantastic card!

Historical: Prehistoric	Alternate History: Canon event changed	Fantasy & Supernatural: Witches and Wizards	Alternate History: Author’s Choice	Other: Celebrities
Fantasy & Supernatural: Angels and Demons	Historical: Author’s Choice	Other: Superpowers	Other: Evil Goateed Universe	Historical: World War I
Historical: Medieval Europe	Fantasy & Supernatural: Myth and Legend	FREE	Historical: 1920's	Other: Military
Historical: Regency	Future: In Space!!!	Other: Criminals	Other: Mundane	Fantasy & Supernatural: Vampires
Other: Kid Fic	Historical: World War II	Other: Mutants	Other: Disney	Other: Actors

I'm especially excited for the bingo going diagonal from Other: Celebrities. I don't know what I'll do for that particular one, but prepare yourselves for K/A or K/M kid!fic, the PRT in space!, AND a mirror!universe Sports Night AU, in which Danny finally gets his goatee. I think I'll make the FREE box that K/A FBI agent AU. Because I'm apparently the only one who understand how badly that needs to be done.

The great thing is I have until January to make a bingo, so I can still work on the stuff I've already got in progress. WOOT.

Oh, and did I also mention I'll be doing a Kirk/McCoy AU of The Parent Trap for reel_startrek? :D

2009-12-10T01:52:27Z

I'm supposed to be doing homework, but homework is stupid. And our heat isn't working and it's exactly 0 (ZERO) degrees out with a -20 windchill so I've barely left my bed and three blankets all day and I realize this is pathetic but I'm fucking cold. ANYWAY.

If you've been around here for any amount of time, you probably know that I think Karl Urban is kind of sexy. And by 'kind of sexy' I mean SO HOT HE COULD MELT THE SUN. I'm just saying I could use the warmth right now. SO I DECLARE A PICSPAM. But not just any picspam. A picspam of Karl Urban SMILING. THAT'S IT. (Yes, inspired by that one post in ontd_startrek, if you've seen it.) The seemingly permanent bedroom eyes and his angry face are pretty amazing, but when he let's a grin cross his face, you can see DIMPLES and his eyes kind of light up. I'm a sucker for men who look very happy, what can I say?

Uh, yeah. This is my favorite. Which is why I didn't resize it. Holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

AND A BONUS BECAUSE I LIKE IT:

COOL GUYS DON'T LOOK AT EXPLOSIONS.

I AM LEAVING THIS UNLOCKED SO YOU CAN SPREAD THE HAPPINESS IF YOU WANT TO. <3

Ffs, LJ, thanks for the comment notifications SEVERAL DAYS LATE. Geez.

if i go crazy then will you still call me superman?

2009-10-31T04:50:35Z

Thought I'd make a post of some things I found today that made me smile and/or laugh. Mostly found on todays ontd_startrek party post, because that's how I roll. Also includes pundits and other random shit. I JUST WANT TO PASS ON THE LOVE.

Rachel Maddow invites you in.

LOLOL. Oh, Andy. *glomps* ♥

Chris Pine and Anton Yelchin starring in THE MOST ADORABLE THING YOU WILL SEE FOR THE NEXT TEN YEARS.

I LOVE PUNS. <3 And this led me to make this:

Which is blantantly stolen from an MST3K riff. But it makes me laugh like mad.

BECAUSE MISHA COLLINS ON TWITTER IS FUCKING GOLDEN AND BONES KNOWS IT.

I burst into giggles every time I see this. FLASH. GET IT?

FFFFFFffff -- I don't even know. But I LOL'd.

Now random gifs:

I can't help but feel he really wanted to slap McCoy on the ass. He strikes me as that kind of captain.

I love how this gif is slowed down more than in the movie. You can see the exasperation and amusement and jfc Karl Urban, could you be more awesome?

THIS WHOLE THING IS GREAT. "IS NOVEL ABOUT TRIBBLES." "KAY."

Oh, these three. <33

I LOVES YOU, KEEF.

Mmm, Karl Urban swearing. Moar swearing!McCoy is next movie, plz J.J. Even if it's just DAMMIT and HELL.

*snickers* Got my ass squeezed by sexy cupid, guess he wants to play, wants to play a love game, a love game.

Stephen Colbert thanks you for your time. :D

people from the future are so smug.

2009-09-26T20:57:42Z

2009-02-12T05:17:19Z

I'm still in a bit of a funk. Monty Python helped a bit, but I've been thinking about doing this for awhile so I figured why the hell not? PICSPAAAAAAAM. Not just any picspam, though. I saved a ton of crap from the rahmbamarama spam posts. It all looked so sad just sitting on my hard drive.

It's mostly Jon & Stephen, with a bit of Anderson Cooper. Starts with normal pics & macros, ends with animated .gifs (I'm addicted to those things). NOT AT ALL DIAL-UP SAFE. Sorry! I've posted a couple of these before but whatever.

(BUT FIRST: Jon fucking pwned tonight. So much win. And people thought he couldn't rock it with Obama in office. HA. Also, I now have a big crush on Demetri Martin.)

Starting with my favorite pic of Jon. Those eyes are ridiculously pretty.

And my second favorite. <333

I dunno why, but this one makes me laugh so much.

Haha, same here.

I swear, I have never before wanted an item of clothing just because a ~celebrity~ wears it, but goddamn I want those boots. Also, I don't think he's updated his wardrobe since the early 90s and I *heart* him for it.

I cannot get over how adorable he is here. Ah, the good ol' brown suit days ~~and brown hair~~.

Someone pointed out that they both have the same expression. <3 Oh, Stephen. You'd totally be the fandom puppy, if Jon hadn't already given Anderson the position.

His reaction to not being the fandom puppy. :(

Okay, it's a rahmbamarama in-joke, but it cracks me up. ANDERPONY.

Guh. Boy needs to wear jeans more often.

It's the eyebrow that gets me. :D

Lincoln approves.

WRISTSTRONG! These two are just to prove our President is extra awesome. :D

Possibly my all-time favorite. What?

PUNDIT!DANCING GO

And also THIS.
/PUNDIT!DANCING

Since we're on Conan...

Kinda mesmerizing in a creepy way, isn't it?

THIS WILL NEVER GET OLD.

Okay, I lied. This is my favorite. GODDAMN THEM. How are they so ~~in love~~ awesome?

I do love a man with talent.

AND IN CONCLUSION:

THE END. That actually did cheer me up quite a bit. Unfortunately, I'm still dead tired so I'm going to bed. (Sekrit message to themistressmoon: I know you're online now (because I'm actually under your bed. Dammit, woman, you need to dust. I have allergies!) but I since I'm going to bed (as previously mentioned) I'll tell you here: transcripts have been sent! Or, well, *requested* to be sent. They said they'd need 3-5 days to process but why the hell they need that long to print something off, slap a stamp on it, and toss it in the mail is beyond me.) (Sorry for abusing parenthesis.)

2007-10-23T16:43:51Z

Dear God and whomever else it may concern,
Please don't burn down San Diego and the surrounding areas. I have very fond memories of that place, and it's really the only place outside of Minnesota where I actually have fond memories, so I (not to mention most of the U.S.) would like to keep it. Thank you.
Love, me.

That said, I hope you folks on the ol' FList in that area are doing okay! I know there are a few of you and even more who have friends/family over there, so just know that you're in my thoughts. *hugs* I also want to send some love to Mike Nelson even though he'll never see this, since his family had to be evacuated. So hugs and lots of love all around!

I want to thank everyone who offered Fall Out Boy uploads in my last post. I haven't gotten a chance to listen to them yet, but thank you so much!

Okay, to the fanvid! I want to apologize first to dutchtulips; this vid was *supposed* to be to "Hiding Under Water" by Beth Hart. I had wanted to do that and get it done in time for your birthday but, as you can obviously tell, that plan kinda fell through. BUT. I do want to tell you all to download it anyway because it's a PERFECT song for the Winchesters and a pretty song in general. Actually, if you like the song this vid is to, then you should like "Hiding Under Water."

Song Title/Vid Title: Angel
Vidder: Sarah \ logicandchaos
Artist: Sarah McLachlan
Category: Angst-ish. Song interpretation.
Characters: Mostly Dean with Sam, Mary, and Carmen.
Summary: Dean Winchester may not have gotten his fairy tale, but he has all he wants anyway.
Notes: Clips mostly from "What Is and What Should Never Be" with a few others thrown in. No season 3 clips/spoilers!
Size/Length: About 18 MB \ 4:26

2007-10-19T17:58:45Z

Dear self,
who gave you permission to sleep until noon when you have to leave for work in an hour? And shall we also ignore the fact that you slept throught TWO classes?
No love,
me.

ANYWAY! Yuletide assignments have gone out (I'm a flipping out a bit about mine so you'll excuse the occasional mad raving that occurs here) so here is my letter to my Yuletide Santa. Anyone who isn't that person can feel free to ignore. :D

Dear yuletide writer,

First off, allow me to shower you with cookies for offering either of these (I know for certain you won't be writing my third fandom, so I won't go into it). I was surprised to see so many people on LJ offer them! I honestly wasn't expecting anyone.

*MST3K*
Hmm. I think what I mentioned in my details covers it fairly well. If I could have really picked all the characters I wanted instead of only four, then I definitely would have chose Servo and Gypsy too. I didn't want to go all out and pick Any. But, like I said, Joel being dad-like and major interaction between him and Crow would be lovely. I asked for a major role for Cambot, but it doesn't *have* to be major. I just wouldn't want him to be completely ignored either; I love the little guy something fierce. If you're one of those gifted writers (and I'm not saying you aren't! Just saying it's hard to write) who can do angst without making them seem OOC, that would be awesome too. Not over the top angst, just a bit. Though I'll leave that part to you. In any case, happy endings are love!

If you think you suck at writing Joel and would prefer to write Mike, then be my guest. I love Mike, too. In that case, I'd ask for mostly the same thing, except being more big-brother like than father-like.

Oh! And don't feel like you have to leave the Mads out completely. I'll just leave that at that.

Bottom line? Gen, pretty please!!

*Hardy Boys*
This is the one I really didn't think anyone would offer! Woot!

Again, the details I gave explain the main gist of what I'd like. I do think I should mention that I'm familiar with every series, but the Casefiles are my favorite. Not necessarily the Network angle; man, that was cool when I was in 4th grade but now that I'm 20 it's a little WTF?-ish. What I mean is that they're more modern, I guess. (Although if you love the idea of the Network, I won't stop you from writing it. ;D)

Brotherly banter will win major points with me. So will brotherly arguing, insults, etc. You know, things that show Frank & Joe love each other to death without acutally saying I love you. The more I think about it, the more I kinda want a case involved, but I'll leave that up to you. I asked for Joe-Fenton father/son like interaction because there is so little of it in the books. I don't know why I love it so much, but I do. I didn't choose Laura for any particular reason; if you can't figure out a way to use her, feel free to leave her out.

Again, angst with a happy ending would be awesome. So would gen. Oh, and if it helps at all: Joe is my favorite.

--------

I feel like there's a ton more I should say! But I don't want to put too many restraints on you. Please do have fun with it!!

Love,
Sarah.

Jerk. Bitch. ♥

It is now OFFICIALLY Thursday, October 4, 2007 (here, anyway). And you all know what that means. SUPERNATURAL \o/.

And I think we should celebrate! Starting right now, and going up until the premiere, I want Supernatural spam! Pics, quotes, whatever you want! SPAM ME. Post more than once if you want. I want comments full of Sam and Dean, Jensen and Jared...and everyone else inbetween. I don't care who or what it is, as long as it's SPN-related. Reply to other people's comments, squee together, etc. etc.

Only catch? NO SPOILERS FOR SEASON THREE. Everything else is fair game.

I'm gonna leave this public, so pimp it if you want. Don't let just let this die! :D

ETA: For those two people in the world who don't know yet, the season premiere is available for FREE on iTunes RIGHT NOW. I'm waiting to see it tomorrow night, though.

I'm actually going to bed now, so be good, kids. I just didn't think I'd have time to post tomorrow before class.

SPN Fanmix! :D

2007-07-15T17:23:15Z

About damn time. PSP finally managed to not crash on me, so it's finally here! There is no particular theme, these are just songs I already had on my playlist that I think represent Supernatural pretty well. This means there are multiple songs with the same artist, and it's mostly country & alternative rock. Also, this is my very first fanmix, so kind words would be appreciated. Now, without further ado, let the fanmix begin!

THERE IS ONE WINCEST RELATED SONG! But only one. So there's your warning. 20 songs total.

*****

=1=
"The Road and The Radio" - Kenny Chesney
Spent the night in Carolina, got up early out of bed
Bought a Red Bull and a road map and a old Stones cassette
Setting my sights south bound, no reason or rhyme
Threw up a prayer just lookin', just lookin' for a sign

It's just them, the road, and the radio. (Lyrics on my header are from this song.)

=2=
"Collide" - Howie Day
I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again

A post-"Heart" song, Dean to Sam.

=3=
"Long Trip Alone" - Dierks Bentley
So maybe you could walk with me a while
And maybe I could rest beneath your smile
Everybody stumbles sometimes
And needs a hand to hold
'cause it's a long trip alone

Dean is glad his brother is along for the ride.

=4=
"Didn't I" - Montgomery Gentry
Didn't I make you proud
Go and lay my life down
When you called my name
I thought I stood for something

Dean to John and the regular civilians.

=5=
"Time After Time" - Quietdrive
After my picture fades
and darkness has turned to gray
watching through windows
you're wondering if I'm okay

This song appears on almost every SPN fanmix, but this is my preferred version of it. So ha! ;D

=6=
"Desperado" - The Eagles
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses
You've been out ridin' fences for so long now
Oh and you're a hard one, but I know that you've got your reasons
The things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow

The quintessential John song.

=7=
"Beautiful Disaster" - Kelly Clarkson
He drowns in his dreams
An exquisite extreme I know
He’s as damned as he seems
And more heaven than a heart could hold

I see the first 2 lines as Sam, and the next 2 lines as Dean. And then the rest is mostly Dean.

=8=
"A Lot of Leaving Left To Do" - Dierks Bentley
Girl, you look like you might be an angel, so I won't lie
I could love you like the devil, if you wanted me to tonight
And we could talk about forever, for a day or two
But I still got a lot of leavin' left to do

A Dean song, obviously.

=9=
"Life Is a Highway" - Rascal Flatts
There's no load I can't hold
Roads are rough, this I know
I'll be there when the light comes in
Tell 'em we're survivors

The most perfect Winchester song ever, IMO. Again, seen on a lot of fanmixes, but I like this version best.

=10=
"Saints and Angels" - Sara Evans
I love your imperfections
I love your everything
Your broken heart, your broken wings
I love you when you hold me
And when you turn away
I love you still and I'm not afraid
'cause I know you feel the same way
And you'll stay

If I was into Wincest, this would be my Wincest song.

DOWNLOAD DISC ONE
(Zip file, all mp3)

*****

=11=
"Calling All Angels" - Train
I need to know that things are gonna look up
'cause I feel us drowning in a sea spilled from a cup
When there is no place safe and no safe place to put my head
When you can feel the world shake from the words that I said

My Sam theme song.

=12=
"Days" - Train
And if blame is the answer, it's under control
And if shame is the answer, I'm sellin' my soul
And if pain is the answer, I've seen it all
Hey Hey Hey, I'm tryin' to calm you down
It's been days since I been doin' well
Since I don't feel like hell or crawlin' under you

My Dean post-"In My Time of Dying" song.

=13=
"Homesick" - Train
So you're tired of wakin' up on empty
You left for something that ain't real
So you think a couple of familiar faces
is gonna turn it all around
You wanna be where they still pump your gas for you
where they remember your name

My Sam pre-series & Season 1 song.

=14=
"My Private Nation" = Train
How to get, how to give
How to make ends meet
How to lose, how to win
How to stay on the seat
How to use momentum to keep the two wheels straight
How to wait after it feels like you waited so long

My main Dean theme song.
(And, yes, I like Train. Why do you ask? XD)

=15=
"When I'm Gone" - 3 Doors Down
Everything I am and everything in me
wants to be the one you wanted me to be
I'll never let you down, even if I could
I'd give up everything if only for your good
So hold me when I'm here, right me when I'm wrong
You can hold me when I'm scared
You won't always be there
so love me when I'm gone

What I think Dean would say to his father if he could.

=16=
"Duck and Run" - 3 Doors Down
This world can turn me down
but I won’t turn away
And I won’t duck and run
'cause I’m not built that way
When everything is gone
and there's nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No, 'cause I am already here

Another Dean song.

=17=
"Hero" - Chad Kroeger
Someone told me that love would all save us.
But how can that be? Look what love gave us.
A world full of killing and blood-spilling
That world never came

This one is should be obvious.

=18=
"Drive" - Incubus
Sometimes, I feel the fear of uncertainty stinging clear
And I can't help but ask myself how much
I'll let the fear take the wheel and steer
It's driven me before, and it seems to have a vague,
haunting mass appeal.
But lately I'm beginning to find that I
should be the one behind the wheel.

Another Dean song. And a possible explanation for Sam not driving? XD

=19=
"I Think God Can Explain" - Splender
There's a lot of things I understand
And there's a lot of things
that I don't want to know
But you're the only face I recognize
It's so damn sweet of you
to look me in the eyes

Oooh, a Sam song! Vision-having Sammy.

=20=
"Meant To Live" - Switchfoot
Fumbling his confidence
and wondering why the world has passed him by
Hoping that he's bid for more than arguments
and failed attempts to fly

Pre-series, pre-Stanford Sam.

DOWNLOAD DISC TWO

*****

THE END! Just in case you were wondering, the subtitle of the mix comes from the song "Fast Cars and Freedom" by Rascal Flatts. The rest of the lyrics don't fit the show so it's not in the mix, but I like the title. Hope you enjoyed! :D

Whew! Glad that's finally done. OH! And my muse has finally come back to life!! *cheers* I've been working on a MST3K fic that I'm hoping to finish soonish. :DDD

2007-05-25T20:39:15Z

So. My father has removed the internet access from my bedroom. This is why I haven't been around. I'm not happy about it, and I don't know why he did it. It has something to do with something I've done wrong, but hell if I know what it is (seriously, whoever said actions speak louder than words never met this man). I'm waiting until I think things have cooled down before I bring it up. It could be awhile. I'm at the library right now. [bad scottish accent]They can take mah internet, but they canna take mah freedom![/bad scottish accent]

My FList is probably around skip=3942093472384, but I'm gonna read 'em all anyways. So if you get a comment from me on a post that's a few days old, that's why. I probably won't even be able to read your responses to this, unless you're real quick. My time is up in less than 45 minutes.

Well, that's really all I have to say. Now I'm off to read that excerpt from the SPN novel.

And happy (belated) birthday to floridapeaches! (These LJ birthday notifications are kinda awesome.)

I have no idea when I'll be back, but I'll do my best.
