There are some unlocked posts here and there are a lot of not unlocked posts. Um, just so you know. Like, if you wanted to be friends or something, we could do that. It could be cool.



These are the haps in my journal!

&. 25! Female! In a city you've probably heard of!
&. I live with my boyfriend. You can call him Al. I do, Paul Simon does. Recent addition to the apartment: addictedkitten. You can ask her what to call her.
&. I write for a living (an esteemed member of the media! wait, no, not the 'esteemed' part), so I don't really ever put together giant, comprehensive, proofread missives. This is all for fun here. and the memories. Ah, the memories.
&. I post a lot about my day(s). Sometimes I include pictures, sometimes I ramble, sometimes my day is interesting and awesome, sometimes my day is boring and lame.
&. I'm sort of in fandoms and I sometimes (haha, nearly never, but sometimes!) write fic. It's always unlocked, unless it's wildly embarrassing.
&. Right now these fandoms would include: The Big Bang Theory for Penny/Sheldon. I know, right. And Disney RPF and, uh, iCarly. YEAH I SAID THAT. Fandoms I also would probably read lately: Life for Reese/Crews, How I Met Your Mother for Barney/Robin, The Middleman for Middleman/Wendy.
&. Fandoms I used to write in, be in or creep on: Potter, lotrips, Alias. Fic is tagged in memories: here.

title: Green With Something.
fandom: The Big Bang Theory.
pairing: Penny/Sheldon
rating: PG-13? / T.
spoilers: None for the show, mentions of a little Star Trek movie stuff.
words: 2388.
disclaimer: Fiction. I don't even know any real-life scientists, so.
notes: I haven't written Big Bang Theory fic since that stretch of several of them a while ago, but I volunteered to write a prize for a contest the sheldon_penny community was/is doing and, uh, so here's this. thelymachy won and asked for:

Penny cosplays as uh... SOMEONE AWESOME. AND NERDY. Cue shock and awe among the NerdHerd. Sheldon is a must!

And with a T rating (hints at later-on sex/make-out, I think, or something). So adult without anything in detail, basically.

All that said, the fic I wrote ended up ridiculous. IT IS RIDICULOUS. I AM SORRY.


( Gaila went blonde, like, almost immediately after the movie ended, Sheldon. )

title: Like a Kick in the Head.
fandom: iCarly.
pairing: Freddie/Sam
rating: PG-13?
words: 4180.
disclaimer: Fiction and about characters that definitely do not belong to me.
notes: Yeah, apparently I write iCarly fic now. And it's not even Carly/Freddie, which is what I thought I wanted. I'm not sure about this, but, like, I've watched a lot of iCarly lately (and always?) and I feel like maybe this was inevitable. Or something.


( None of this was a problem until high school, until they all got older, until he found out what being 16 and having female friends meant. It meant everyone assumed you were hooking up with them.  )

Aaaand back to Big Bang Theory fic! My dinner was boring and there was no good television and sometimes challenges are too much to pass up.

title: Coffee.
fandom: The Big Bang Theory.
pairing: Penny/Sheldon
rating: PG.
words: 2742.
disclaimer: Fiction. I don't even know any real-life scientists, so.
notes: Written for this prompt in the kink challenge thing. Post last night's episode, 'The Hofstadter Isotope.'

( And teaching anything to four guys who are going to win Nobel Prizes and save the planet and, like, figure out cool fusion or whatever makes her feel great. Maybe it makes her feel like she's worth more than the Cheesecake Factory and dead-end auditions and she needs to feel like that sometimes. )

So apparently the David/Selena community is going members only, which I disagree with, but we'll leave that argument for, um, never, I'm just going to disagree with it! \o/ Which means that ridiculous David/Selena fic I wrote that's over there needs to be posted somewhere else to be public. So, HERE IT IS. again. Sorry if you've already seen this. D:

title: a list of what i should've been, but i'm not.
fandom: Disney RPF
pairing: David Henrie/Selena Gomez.
rating: PG.
disclaimer: Fiction. Oh my god, is this ever fiction.



( Reasons having anything with would Selena would be fucking stupid: it'd make him another notch on the Disney scandal bedpost. )

SO! I got pretty bored over the course of the last hour and then Al came home and was like, "Let's go over to Ryen's for St. Patrick's Day!" and I was like, "...no." Which is actually a big thing because I usually feel so guilty for not going to things that I end up going. But I told Al to go and he did and so I did this:

I like playing these games on other people's f-list and it occurred to me that I don't think I've ever done one (that I can remember? who knows.), so I AM DOING ONE.

This is the one where you go to IMDB and pick quotes from your 20 favorite movies for people to guess.

HOORAY.

( man, my movie tastes are pretty telling. )

OH MY GOD THIS IS SO RIDICULOUS AND I'M SORRY, OK? I'M SORRY.



title: something that's shimmering and white.
fandom: Disney RPF (but an AU!)
pairing: David Henrie/Selena Gomez; brief Nick/Joe; mentions of Taylor Swift/Joe and Miley/Nick.
rating: PG.
words: 5628.
disclaimer: Fiction. Oh my god, is this ever fiction.
notes: This is an AU where the Disney kids are astronauts. I don't know why. I just couldn't stop thinking about it. If you hate AUs, RPF, Disney, the moon or other things that would tie into that, I wouldn't read this. I know very little about, uh, space travel and I can only spend so much time reading Wikipedia before I want to punch myself in the head. So let's focus on stuff that isn't how this is not entirely scientifically sound or how I'm pretty obviously fucking crazy. Let's not focus on that part either. ALSO, I really like sappy, happy endings, I'M A SUCKER, I'M SORRY.


( They've divided the entire nation over a trip to the moon.  )

We finished the last episode of 'Merlin' about three minutes ago.

WHEN DOES THIS SHOW COME BACK
IS THERE FIC (sidebar: i waited until we'd finished the season, so i could read anything and there would be no spoilers: this is my showing restraint in at least one aspect of my life.)

THESE ARE QUESTIONS I HAVE.

There's no real substance to this post other than that.

Carl Winslow would also like to know about Merlin's return date and fic.

title: Statistical Anomaly.
fandom: The Big Bang Theory.
pairing: Penny/Sheldon
rating: PG-13?
words: 4556.
disclaimer: Fiction. I don't even know any real-life scientists, so.
notes: Valentine's Day fic. And, I think, the first time I've written Valentine's Day fic, ever. I didn't even know I wanted to write Valentine's Day fic. Who knew! Also, this is the fourth fic I've written in a single fandom/pairing. I don't think that's happened before either! Ah, growing up.


( She goes to sleep thinking, at least she'll have someone to hang out with tomorrow. Someone to talk to about hokey Hallmark holidays and how Cupid was actually like, a fat kid with no friends or something. )

OH MY GOD. It's like I actually write fic again. With some sort of consistency! This is actually the sum of a bunch of different things that were floating around before, during and after I wrote the other two Big Bang fics. Which is why it's kind of long, I think.

I know there's already an AMAZING FIC with the fake dating thing (AHHH I LOVE THAT STORY), but that's one of my favorite things in fic and, well, sometimes I make mistakes and want to revisit things that have already been slam dunked by somebody else.

I don't know what else to say. I'm embarrassed that I keep writing in this fandom because I can't even pinpoint why I love it right now. I JUST DO. :-?

I AM SORRY.

title: Basic Human Interaction.
fandom: The Big Bang Theory.
pairing: Penny/Sheldon
rating: R.
words: 8988.
disclaimer: Fiction. I don't even know any real-life scientists, so.

( Penelope, I am not finding this funny. Your boyfriend. He's always wearing those comic book T-shirts and looking weird, even when he's with those other guys. When he showed that table the color of his snot, I told myself I wouldn't let him back in, but he'd been behaving since then, so I let it slide. Until today. )

Aw, motherfuck.

I don't know why I wanted to open this entry like that. I just did.

I don't think I've made any sort of only fannish + fandom post in a while. So after I explain what I'm having for dinner, because that's how I do, this will be a fannish + fandom post.

For dinner: we are having cheesy scalloped potatoes (currently baking courtesy of ME) and hot dogs in the microwave (courtesy of Al, who said he doesn't feel like getting out the Foreman grill. If he weren't so otherwise epic, I'd be in the middle of guilt trip about this, but I don't really mind microwaving them and I can't be an asshole all the time).

FAN STUFF. (monday night shows haven't aired here yet)

Big Bang Theory: I love this show so hard right now. If you're not watching it, watch it. It's really easy to get into and it doesn't take a huge commitment. It's effortless. It's easily the only thing I can bring myself to write in right now and although I've already written two fics for it, I've already started a third, which pretty much, uh, never happens. So, hooray this show. Penny and Sheldon are my fave couple right now (uh, OTP as the kids say) and their interaction is always pretty delightful.

Flight of the Conchords: Here's something that makes me feel sad and awful to say: I've been disappointed by the second season so far. This show made me so, so happy first season. Every episode (even the ones with Coco) were so fucking amazing and the songs were always done so well and I understand this season was the opposite, writing the songs for the show versus writing the show around the songs, but that and the upped production value and just like, everything. I feel like the heart is missing or something. It seems more hollow this season. But obviously the worst episode of this is better than the best episode of everything else, mostly, so. Plus they announced they're coming to Vegas May 23 (which is three days before my birthday so hopefully Al will hit a boyfriend home run with it because I forwarded him the Hard Rock press release and said "AHEM").

How I Met Your Mother: Oh boy, this show. I want Barney/Robin so hard and so fiercely and I'm so fucking sick of Ted lately, which is sad because I used to like Ted, but now I feel like he's IN THE WAY. Marshall and Lily remain adorable and I'm glad Jason Segel cut his stupid hair.

The Office: All right, I'm fucking sick of Jim/Pam. I don't even want to bone John Krasinski right now, which is definitely a switch. Michael is bothering me more than usual and if they dedicated an entire episode to Andy, Angela, Dwight, Kelly and Oscar, I would be all fucking over it in a SECOND. I feel like I'm living in bizarro TV world where I hate everything I once loved. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO MY BODY.

30 Rock: I have never, ever wanted Jack/Liz. I loved her so hard with Floyd and I have a lot of hope for the ( spoiler, still? ), so hopefully that brings it back. I love Liz and Jack together just not, you know, like that. AGAIN BIZARRO WORLD, I'm normally shipping and rooting for everything with a vagina and a penis. or two penises. or two vaginas. or two flat fronts. That said, how much do I love Tracy and Jenna and Kenneth lately? SO FUCKING MUCH.

Skins: I'm not watching the third season, but I might break and give in and watch it, even though I will miss everybody. Effy is so hot and awesome that it's totally possible I won't hack it out there knowing she's around and I'm not seeing it.

United States of Tara: I HATE DIABLO CODY. The dialogue in Juno mostly made me want to kill myself, so I was worried this show would be like that. It kind of is, but we've watched the first four episodes (though I did walk out of the room before that one ended), so I guess I'm giving it a chance? TOO SOON TO TELL. If the show were entirely about the son, I would love it and scream about it from roofs.

THIS POST MAKES ME HATE MYSELF SO I WILL NOT BE OFFENDED IF YOU HATE ME. I HATE ME RIGHT NOW, TOO.

So. um. yeah. This is wildly embarrassing. For a second day in a row: an embarrassing post! But today's revelation is that I've never written porn before. I always cut it off before it goes anywhere very interesting. Not this time! I was so into the idea of the Porn Battle this year, that I actually wrote something. And because I'm really into Penny/Sheldon and The Big Bang Theory right now and there were prompts and oh fuck. I don't even know.


title: What Happens, Stays.
fandom: The Big Bang Theory.
pairing: Penny/Sheldon

notes: Written for the Porn Battle for the prompt, penny/sheldon, what happens at ComicCon stays at ComicCon.

( She's getting ready to give up when she sees something she hasn't seen in years -- Captain America is pulling names out of a hat and sending couples to the hotel bathroom. )

All day I've been looking for an excuse to say: WORD. And I haven't found one. So here's how I'm gonna say it: It's really hard to find ways to work 'word' into your conversations. WORD.

I am in a stunningly good mood for a Sunday night, but let's not dwell. Not today. Rex Manning and all that.

IN BETTER NEWS: there's totally an illustration to go along with my Big Bang Theory fic from Friday! HOW AWESOME IS THAT. The clearly wonderful irrel drew Penny and Sheldon and left it in a comment on the story and it's HERE. CLICK ON THAT SERIOUSLY. LIKE, DO IT.

Last night we went to a surprise birthday for our friend Guy's wife Brooke. They have an awesome, awesome 2-year-old daughter and I played with her a ton and if I follow this train of thought anymore, I'm going to end up mumbling incoherently about how much I love kids.

I totally spilled a huge cup of Pepsi (JUST PEPSI; NO BOOZE. who's growing up? THIS KID RIGHT HERE) all over my lap and into my boots and I wasn't even embarrassed, I just went about cleaning up, which should demonstrate how often I spill things.

Today we ate lunch AND dinner with my parents and then I went over to my grandparents to help my grandma finish this puzzle I'd been working on with her. It was 500 fucking pieces and my neck is killing me, but it's totally done.

Now I'm at home and Al is nerding out so much that I can't even talk to him right now. He's reformatting his Xbox hard drive and screeching about Ubuntu and LInux and all this other garbage and I don't understand how he can be so attractive and normal-looking and KEEP ALL THIS IN HIS HEAD. Part of our present to Brooke last night was Al fixed their DSL/internet, so I guess sometimes it's beneficial, but like, seriously, I can't talk to him when he's like this. AND I LIKE COMPUTERS.

You know what everybody should do? Watch The Big Bang Theory. WORD.

So. I wrote The Big Bang Theory fic. This is just like The Middleman all over again where like, two people on my f-list even know/read this fandom. You guys should really defer to me on all your TV watching. um. Anyway, it's Penny/Sheldon.


title: Experiments on Gravitation.
fandom: The Big Bang Theory.
pairing: Penny/Sheldon
rating: PG-13 pushing R?
words: 4785.
disclaimer: Fiction. I don't even know any real-life scientists, so.

( She's developed this filter in her brain that hears what the guys are saying and spits it out in normal-person English, so what she actually hears Leonard saying is: I told Sheldon I think he has a crush on you.  )

OK! Yuletide!

So I received three awesome stories (two treats!)

My main gift was a Liz/Floyd 30 Rock story: Just Another Tuesday from kelseyyyy. I can never, ever have enough Liz/Floyd in my life. I had such a crush on Jason Sudeikis from SNL and plus he was in the Vegas Second City so I would see adorable pictures of him on the Strip and so when he became Floyd, I was doubly delighted. This story is a snippet of Liz's life, but in that snippet FLOYD COMES BACK. Ah, god, I wish that would happen in real life. So: THANK YOU YULETIDE AUTHOR kelseyyyy!

I also got a BJ/Mindy Office RPF story: Things I Bought That I Love: A Rejected Blog Post Idea which was TOTALLY FROM daygloparker! I should've known immediately it was someone awesome, but I'll be honest I seriously had no idea it was her. I LOVE IT. DRUNK MAKING OUT. THAT IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE KINDS OF MAKING OUT. And the blog! I LOVE HER BLOG (see what I did there? You don't know if I'm talking about Mindy Kaling or daygloparker but the answer is BOTH)

My other treat was a 'Life' one: Why DirecTV Is A Bad Idea from daygloparker's friend aj who I actually stalked friended a while ago because she seemed neat and I WAS RIGHT. This story had the banter totally on point and IT WAS DELIGHTFUL. I can also never have enough Crews/Reese interaction.

Looking at it like this, I got one in every fandom I asked for! Which is awesome! YULETIDE! YEAH! I put a bonus fourth fandom/prompt of 'Spaced' Tim/Daisy and there was some fic in that vein so this was a banner year.

And what I wrote: so, I signed up for a lot of random shit, like, all over the board. And I got one of the ones where I was like, "Sure, yeah, I could write that! um, probably." But then I rewatched the movie and, instead of it being happy and fun like I thought, I realized it was actually really messed up and it got really angst-filled and not very happy or fun.

I wrote: wring the water from wine. for Big (the movie).

As of right now, there are 57 comments on it and I KNOW NONE OF THOSE PEOPLE BUT AM GRATEFUL FOR THEIR EXSISTENCE, but that makes this reveal sort of anti-climactic as far as my f-list is concerned. SORRY GUYS. The only person whose name I recognized was mrsronweasley's girl, but I don't really know her, I just know her because they're adorable together in the former's entries and I recognized the name.

But in conclusion, Yuletide was super fun and I can't believe I waited this long to finally participate instead of just like, leaching and coasting and only reading.

FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS SEASON 2 PROMO.

JANUARY IS SO SOON.

That's really all I have to say. Sometimes I read ONTD at work and nothing good comes of it and today I read this and it literally made my morning. Sometimes I wish I could read my f-list, but then I guess I would have nothing to read at home. :-?

Um. So, as mentioned, I signed up for Yuletide this year. And now apparently I get to post a letter talking to my Yuletide writer about it. Kind of like a pep talk before a sporting event if the sporting event were doing something nice for me and I were also the one giving the pep talk. I think it might be exactly like that, uh, actually.

This means today's BloMo entry will be unlocked and will employ proper capitalization and punctuation (where I arbitrarily warrant it applicable, of course), so as to set the precedent that I enjoy those things.

( Hello and thank you for your already apparent awesomeness that you agreed to write in any of these fandoms, Yuletide Writer. )

With regard to my own Yuletide assignment: THIS FUCKING FANDOM YOU GUYS IT'S AWESOME. AND HILARIOUS. I put down some random damn things and I got one and I'm pleased.

You guys.

That.

Just.

Happened.

I've seen so many eloquent and awesome posts on my friendslist tonight and I'd like to formally echo them all.

Barack Obama. The president. This is America.

My brother and I wore our Obama shirts to the Strip tonight and, at 14, he was so proud when people cheered and yelled, "Nice shirt!" or gave thumbs up, but I think he was the most proud, when standing in a crowd to get into the theater, we somehow ended up on the edges and older people were glaring at him, dirty looks and head shakes, and he stood up taller, puffed out his chest, puffed up his shirt and pretended to brush lint off his shoulders. He stared right back, with a huge smile.

Obama had already won. We drove to the theater listening to NPR waiting for the speech, but it aired while we were inside, we caught the highlights on the drive home and he sat up and listened and was just so in it. The whole thing. And he's young enough that this new America will be the one he'll help grow. I'm just really proud of everyone and everything tonight.

title: The Fibbing Mat Entanglement.
fandom/pairing: The Middleman; WW/MM. Mention of the whole Lacey thing.
rating: R? We'll say R. Or PG-13+.
words: 2,400(ish).
spoilers: Nope. They have to have a gym, right?
note: For nothing_hip's Brand New challenge, but this isn't an angsty fandom to me, but it's the only thing I'm writing in, uh, for the last really long period of time. So it started off with the song inspiring something about her lying to Lacey and it got away from me. Like, rapidly.


(  There are six times she's lied to Lacey, ever.  )
