My Little Nest

( DEATHLY HALLOWS RANT, SPOILERS )

Okay, so el_em_en_oh_pee nudged me, because apparently I'm not updating this enough. Who knew? Not much going on here, more of the same old, same old.

Samson et Dalila starts next weekend, so this week is going to be busy as all get out with rehearsals and final fittings, and NO TALKING for twenty-four hours before dress rehearsal. (In other words, there will be much texting and IMing) I'm actually kinda sorta terrified for some reason, that I can't understand and it's driving me outsane. (Moreso.) I'm never this nervous until I get onstage. What. The. Fuck.

My friend Jackie wants me to try out for Henry VIII because apparently, she didn't know I knew all of Katherine's monster courtroom speech by heart until I did it in the green room. I'm considering it, along with trying out for Eponine in Les Miserables. Someone tell me not to.

Saturday was spent with the Doppelganger for the second time in as many weeks--ugh. I shopped. Yay retail therapy. Current swag? Romeo + Juliet & Shaun of the Dead on DVD. La Boheme on CD, a Flogging Molly T-shirt, and a pair of heart-shapped handcuff earrings. Eclectic, I know.

Got new blood today, and got very bored. So, what happened? I decided to conquer my photo-manipulation program. What did I decide to do, since I had iconed all the picturs I could? Make wallpapers. Well, one took me ages, and I did that in recovery.

Fandom warning: (But please look if you can tolerate RPG-ish het pairing graphics, because I need opinions--I think they suck)

Blood/Fire Wallpaper #1--Crush, with Alicia Witt as Morag and Tom Felton as Draco since I only had one Alex Band picture on the laptop:

Crush

No, Morag is not a stalker, she's just smitten.

Secondly, I decided to make an actual Blood/Fire wallpaper, with lyrics from Sarah McLachlan's 'Possession'. This features Alicia Witt as Morag (again, but I love her as a PB for Morag) and Alex Band as Draco (Which I blame on sappholococcus for forever linking them in my head) Wallpaper 2--Red-tinted shades of grey:

Red-tinted shades of grey.

Okay, I'm officially mental, but for those of you interested, here's my claim table from 100quills. If you need me I'm going to be in the slide room with hecticity.

( 100 fics more I must write )

Okay, so I gave in, actually, my muses made me. Or more particularly my Fic!Blood!Muse. 2,303 words of Blood backstory and a bit of AU to the_overlooked RPG from GJ and the Blood/Fire fic hecticity and I are writing. Although, in the right circumstances, I suppose it could work in Fic universe...anyway, I'm not expecting any of you except maybe Evil Twin (hecticity) to read this, but go ahead if you wish. It was originally inspired by the hp_ficathon prompt 'Bloodletting,' but I don't think I'll post it there.

Title: Bloodletting
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairings: Blood/Fire at the very end [AKA Morag MacDougal/Draco Malfoy]

Warning: Car-Girl-ness ahead

Da got a new (read: used) truck today! He likes used ones because it means it takes less time to kill them. (Not kidding--you should see the lemons he ends up with when he's done with them.)

Anyway, truck! Gorgeous, really. 2002 Ford F-150 Triton, Extended Cab, 5 speed, 8 ft. bed, V.8 engine, and it's either, depending on whether you ask me or Granny, a brilliant blood red or candy-apple red. (Three guesses who said what and the first two don't count!) Of course, if you ask Da, it's red. It also has a CD player (Woohoo!) and best of all...

They changed the configuration under the hood so that one can actually get to the fun bits that make it go without tearing the thing half to Hades! *Celebrates* Not that I really minded all that much...except when the fan belt broke on a coz's 1997 F-150 and I used a pair of pantyhose to get us to the nearest auto parts store and home...

So yay!
/car-girl-ness>

On another subject, hecticity needs to get online so we can work on our wonderfully dark, snarky, and yet romantic Morag/Draco story. I want to write more of it....*whinges* it's fun.

Also, what is with FanFiction.net? Dedalus Diggle has fic posted about him but there's not a single fic about Morag? What the bloody hell, people?

Yeah, I know, I rarely write slash, but this is a pressie for hecticity who had a bad day.

( A Very Merry (And Drunken) Christmas: Part One )

X-posted to nn_ooc and nn_fic_exchange on GJ.

My fellow N_Ners butterflyclip and orimornie posted this, and I just had to take it.

( Social Life @ Hogwarts )

Is it bad that I was all happy happy joy joy when I got this result?

This is what happens when one of my lovely Scottish cousins reads my journal and decides to fix my insomnia...by calling me up at 3:00 am and singing me an old ballad. Not sleep, oh no...a Luna/Ginny fic.
( Dead Ends )

Stupid bloody insomnia...*growl* I know I don't sleep much, but damn it, some would be nice! I'm thisclose to trying to go to the evil Drs. to get something so I can sleep like a semi-normal person, but my hatred of Drs. is stopping me.

All in all, the 4th was nice. Ate yummy hamburgers and graham cracker pie with family while watching the craziness that is Passions because Buzz can't eat without the blessed TV on in the next room. Of course, it confuses the hell out of Da who has never seen this before.
Da: Is this a soap opera or what?
Buzz: Yeah.
Da: it's a bit off isn't it?
Me: Yup. It's mental.
Granny: They had two crazy women in a Christmas ornament once.
Da: Uh huh
And then I had to quote my favourite line ever, stupidly.
Me: Once, Tabitha, the blond lady there, was leaving her daughter with those people, there, and she had the greatest line. "Don't forget to read her her Harry Potter before bedtime! She just loves that Lord Voldemort."
*silence* Then...the fury that is the extended family begins the infamous and many times gone over 'Harry Potter debate.'
Me: *headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk* and a *facepalm* for good measure.
You'd think I'd know by now that when the big extended family is over to not bring up medicine, science, Council-crap, anime, or Harry Potter. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid Calypso!

Once the famil left, still squabbling, Da returned to the work he was doing on Granny's front portico-thing. When they had finished, it was 6:00 abnd I popped out of Buzz's computer room to see what the remaining v. close family was doing and ended up staying to watch reruns (obviously) of Green Acres and The Munsters we then had dinner, burned brain cells watching game shows and then Da set off the (sadly all legal) fireworks that we had bought. It was fun, all in all. Just as we finish and leave the Covenstead the sky opens up and it's all thunder and lightining. (Truly wicked) It was nice of Mama Nature to wait for us to finish.
And now? Insomnia. I'm going to go check my RPing journal now...see if anyone new has joined or the Mods have announced anything. maybe that will put me to sleep.

Yes, I did it again, yet another one for the Mistaken Identity Challenge. Features implied slash, drug use, and a high Snape. Yes, I know, I like the bad boys far too much...*sigh*
( Simmering Softly )

yes, I do in fact realise i need to do a real update, but not right now. This is a story I wrote for laurel_tx's Mistaken Identity Challenge. Contains weirdness, slash, and BBQCHEESEWIZ

( What Dreams May Come )

Due to the reviews and requests on the hp_girlslash community, my femmeslash story, It All Started with a Detention now has a sequel...
Well that and when manic sometimes I can be productive...

So, second bit:
( I Thought I Told You )

Well, I had a fairly lazy day. I spent the day playing on my newly fixed laptop and paying a visit to lesbian-land. In other words, I spent the afternoon watching the 1st season of The L Word, But I'm a Cheerleader, Better Than Chocolate, If Walls Could Talk 2, Lost and Delirious and Aimee and Jaguar back-to-back. This led me to write a femmeslash fanfiction, and said story now makes me want a pack of cloves. Damn ickle amish town with no where to get them.

I've also got my diet pills, which have made me happy, though I need to keep said pills from my grandmother, which wonb't be easy. But I've done it before, and I'll manage it again. That's basically it, and so I give you:
