We're gonna run out of cake at this rate

Still feeling rather weary of spirit. Ugh, stupid hormones. :((( Doesn't help that half of what was supposed to be my day off was spent wrangling deliveries and filling in documents and mostly not resting at all. DX

On the plus side, bought myself a cute wee 4GB mp3 player, and have stuffed it full of fanmixes and podficks and the like! \0/ \0/ Now I can carry fandom's awesomeness everywhere with me!! <3333 Rather pleased with that purchase! :) It's been ages since I've had an mp3 player -- mostly used my phone for music and stuff, but it's crammed full of crap right now and I just don't have the energy to tackle it. This was really the perfect solution! :D And it's so easy to use! I'm impressed! :D

Words are still being an utter bitch and extremely uncooperative. Thank god for foxxcub and the snippets she keeps sending me from her bb!Steve/bb!Tony verse, which, my endorphine levels spike every time I see a new email in my inbox. <333 Teenage bb boys in loooooove!! ♥________♥ She knows me so well. :')

Right, okay, time for tea and a blanket and watching something disgustingly fluffy. Yes. <3 Saw (finally) Jane Eyre the other day, and UGH, FASSY, MUST YOU BE SO FUCKING AWESOME IN EVERYTHING WHEN I HAVE TO WAIT FOR YOUR OTHER NEW STUFF TO COME OUT. :((( Failing that, a few episodes of White Collar S03 ought to do the trick. It's back on tonight!! \0/ \0/ Can hardly wait.

Oh, what the hell. Let's have a meme as well.

The Poetry Meme

If you see this in someone's journal, post one as well. Saw a gorgeous poem in somehowunbroken's journal the other day, and thought, hey, neat. So here is a poem that, despite not necessarily having anything to do with who I am, still had a profound effect on me the first time I read it.

( How to make love to a trans person )

All right, first time cross-posting! :D Which I will be doing from now on, because UGH, otherwise I have to re-post all my entries here, which, PAIN IN THE ARSE OR WHAT.

Right, okay. Look, indulge me. Please. I have been thinking about COULSON BAKING since yesterday (all day), and now I would like ALLLLL THE BAKING/BAKERY/COOKING AUS EVER, PLEASE AND THANK YOU. Rec me stuff. Things you've loved reading, I don't particularly care in which fandom, I WILL READ THEM ALLLLL.

Writing has been mostly /fail these few days -- only 10K or so overall on X-Pride II, which for me is a bit lame. STILL, PROGRESS HAS BEEN MADE. \0/ \0/ Pretty much half-way done now, with the plot sorted out for the rest of it, which is almost half the work done! :D :D Charles is about to find a puppy on his way home, when he gets caught in a rainstorm. :D :D ALLLLL THE FLUFFFFF. <3

But otherwise, the cop!Erik AU is almost completely finished!! \0/ \0/ It's now been passed to my gamma readers, who will tell me if it is actually readable as it is. <3 THANKS, YOU GUYS. Sooooo there ought to be a 43K Charles/Erik adventure romp posted in the next couple of days! \0/ \0/ \0/

Speaking of, MY secret_mutant GIFT IS UP!!! AND IT IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL, GLORIOUS THING EVER. afdjhjlfkhldfhdfh LOOK AT IT. JUST LOOK. AJAHLJHGLJFHLDFHGDFH ALLLLLLLL THE FLUFFY ~FEEEEEEEELINGS!! ♥__________♥ sfjghfdjgh I CANNOT EVEN. I AM SO BLESSED. :')

And now a meme! :D (I foresee a few of these in the coming days, what with end-of-year and all.) Stolen from amcw177.

Give me a character or a pairing (or both) and I will tell you three tidbits of my personal headcanon for them.

GO ONNNN, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO LET ME RAMBLE AT YOU TILL THE COWS COME HOME. <3<3<3

First of all: Allow me to FANGIRL ALL OVER THIS SHIT. Ridley Scott to direct new Blade Runner film

MY FACE RIGHT NOW?



THAT SHIT IS GOING TO BE EPIC.

In other news, this article kiiiind of made my week. ♥ Homosexual zebra finches form long-term bond? THIS IS SO FINDING ITS WAY INTO HAND IN HAND, YOU REALISE. <3

Other things I am excite about: I am posting my H50 Big Bang tomorrow! FINALLY!! \0/ \0/ \0/ I apologise in advance for the MASSIVE SPAMMING this will result in, since I'm going to need like 5 posts + a masterlist. I promise I'll backdate them, but still, if anyone is going back through skip?=200, they are going to HATE ME.

Also? That ridiculous XMFC story I'm shoulders-deep in? I HAVE FINALLY NAILED CHARLES' CHARACTERISATION IN IT. Thank you everyone who listened to me moan about it and was wonderful and supportive!! I <3 YOU ALL. And to cherry-top it all, raven_lore has gleefully agreed to receive that story as her help_japan win! I AM RELIEVED. I AM NOT A LOSER. <3

Other things that make me happy? Fourth Test, The Oval (day two): England 457-3 v India YOU LOT ARE THE MOST AWESOMESAUCE. FUCK YES ENGLAND!! ROCK ON!! \0/

DOCTOR WHO IS BACK ON TONIGHT. DO THE DANCE OF JOY WITH ME, GO ON. ETA: NO IT'S NOT. IT'S NEXT SUNDAY. GODDAMN IT. :/

Carry on being awesome, you guyyyyys! <3<3<3

For your time: HAVE SOME AWESOME MUSIC. ♥

klhahgakhgakhgkfgh YOU GUYS. YOU GUYS. /bursts into incoherent sobs of joy/ SOMEONE GET weatherfront OVER HERE.

IFRIT, LOOK WHAT red_rahl DID FOR US.

HIS FACE, HIS LITTLE BLUSHY FACE, HOW IS THIS SO PERFECT. :') <33333333333333333333333333333

Ahem. What red_rahl gone and done is draw a chibi chef!Arthur and helper!Eames, to compliment our Love in the time of Marmite story -- because I asked for magical-chef!Arthut, and because SHE'S BRILLIANT LIKE THAT. AND I AM JUST UTTERLY OVERWHELMED BY THE SHEER AMOUNT OF BIG PINK LOVE I FEEL FOR IT, AND HER. /FLAILFLAILFLAIL/

ETA: I should probably have said, we're sharing it with all the other utterly marvellous cooking stories out there, BUT I'm all about the sharing, because each and every one of them deserves all the love in the world! <3333333

You guys, the only reason I have not yet disconnected everything and curled up in bed with a warming patch and a decent book is this:

Set Fire to This Card House by zarah5 is now complete!! Seriously one of the best H50 stories and the best AUs I have ever read. I normally abhore WIPs, but this one drew me in from the start, and I am thrilled to have followed it all the way through to the glorious, delightful conclusion! SO MANY HEARTS.

And now time for aforementioned sulking in bed until the Doctor Who download is up in a couple hours! I DON'T KNOW HOW I'LL BE ABLE TO SLEEP TONIGHT, but it's not like that will stop me watching! :D

I am so fucking proud of myself, it's nothing less than obscene. I have managed to wrangle CSS Flexible Squares coding BY MYSELF. Granted, it's taken me almost twelve hours, and I was ready to cry on aurrai's ever-helpful shoulder, but I've managed to grasp it, so a pat on the back is well-deserved. I don't think I'll be writing style sheets by myself anytime soon, but I seem to have caught on to the editing bit. Now I just need to find a suitable header, and I'm sorted. \0/

You guys, will you do me a massive favour? I've stared at this thing for so long already, I can't even see straight anymore. Will you click through to one of my stories and tell me if this is readable enough, or if I need to change the font, or the colour, or something? I think it's pretty readable; it wouldn't put me off, but I want to be sure. That would be brilliant!

I'm off to bask in my own magnificence (which will last for about as long as it'll take me to remember that I just wasted twelve hours of my life faffing about with code and doing no writing whatsoever -- in other words, not long at all). I'm also in the process of archiving my stories over on AO3 -- yep, I've taken the plunge, miles behind everyone else. And while I'm at it, I might as well do that masterlist I've been planning for fuck knows how long. Yay!
