I'm a model fucking citizen and part-time hypocrite. GEORGE COSTANZA, TAKE THE WHEEL!

			Livejournal, You're My Only Hope! (FYI: spoilers below!)So I saw Thor 2: The Dark World on Monday and it has somehow eaten my brain? LOL? I've gone from being a mild Thor appreciator to a full blown Asgardian fangirl. I want backstory fic about teenaged Thor and Loki playing pranks on Sif! I want Frigga-centric introspective character-study fic! I want AU fic where the aether makes Jane evil and omnipotent instead of killing her and it's up to Thor and Darcy to save her. I'm looking for recs, basically. But no Thor/Loki or Jane/Loki, and no Darcy/anyone, because Darcy is TOO COOL for that shit. ;PTags: fanfic, movies, questioning the flist, thor, via ljappFeeling: hyper

			Seems I Am Not The Only One.... Originally posted by morgandawn at Seems I Am Not The Only One..........who feels the need to take a break from an increasingly dysfunctional relationship.Original image and campaign source: reddit.Edited to add my own thoughts (not part of the original reddit call for action) : And if you do not feel like taking a total break and perhaps want just a trial separation or couple's counseling, then perhaps consider Black March Lite 2.0 = spend, but spend money on those content creators and independent retailers who came out against SOPA/PIPA. And tell them why you're buying their products in March. There are many of them.And for those who favor the more targeted boycott, you can find info here. But no matter which, you can participate and you can tailor your level of participation. We have the tools, the will and the strength to take a stand.Text of imageBlack March - Thursday March 1st 2012 to Saturday March 31st 2012With the continuing campaigns for internet-censoring litigation such as SOPA and PIPA, and the closure of sites like Megaupload under allegations of 'piracy' and 'conspiracy' the time has come to take a stand against music, film, and media companies' lobbyists.The only way is to hit them where it hurts.Their profit margins.March 2012 is the end of the First Quarter in economic reports world wide.Do not buy a single record. Do not download a single song, legally or illegally. Do not go to see a single film in cinemas, or download a copy. Do not buy a DVD in the stores. Do not buy a videogame. Do not buy a single book or magazine.Wait the four weeks to buy them in April: see a film later, etc... Holding out for just four weeks, maximum, will leave a gaping hole in media companies profits for the first quarter, an economic hit which will in turn be observed by governments world wide as stocks and shares will blip from a large enough loss of incomes. This action will give a statement of intent:"We will not tolerate the Media Industries' lobbying for legislation that will censor the internet."Tags: serious businessWhere I Am: TorontoFeeling: thoughtful

			It's That Time Again! Thank you for writing me a Yuletide story, fair writer! Hopefully this letter will give you some guidance. :)You Say Party - Lonely's Lunch (FYI, this fandom got duplicated so I requested it twice, under both names.)Characters: Female rebelSource: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1X6yuW40iw0Details: I want to know more about the unnamed female rebel in this video, as well as her magnificent dystopian world. Who are the proboscis soliders? What does the mark on her neck mean? Why are there spaceships hovering in the sky that no one seems to care about? I'd love to see some world-building as well as development of her history and character. I'd also really love for the setting (India) to drive the atmosphere of the fic.TV Commercials - Louis Vuitton (Superflat Monogram)Characters: Japanese girlSource: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwmsXEncv-0Details: I'd love to see how the young girl reacts to the fantastic events that occurred in the commercial. Does she go back for more adventures? Does her experience change her somehow? You could go either way, either showing that her trip to this wacky world makes her an inspired and whimsical person OR that she becomes a hopelessly detached recluse from reality after what she's seen.Tags: yuletideFeeling: excitedListening To: Perfume - Perfect Star Perfect Style \| Powered by Last.fm

			You're Waiting For A Train Title: Keeping It ComplicatedAuthor: plazmahRating: PGFandom: Inception (FUCK YEAH INCEPTION)Pairing: Ariadne/Cobb, Ariadne/ArthurSummary: Cobb thought he gave up that life, but Arthur and Ariadne (mostly Ariadne) pull him back in, despite the fact Arthur and Ariadne are barely speaking to each other anymore.Notes: Unbetaed, written for inception_kink. Yeah yeah, I know. Thankfully, it's low on the kink. I don't even ship Ariadne/Cobb that hardcore (I'm all about the Arthur/Ariadne) but I was compelled by the prompt; "Cobb follows Ariadne down into one of her dreams, for a change." This fic is pretty OT3 if you squint hard enough, actually. Post-movie, so obviously SPOILERS.---------------( Keeping It Complicated - PG Collapse ) Tags: fanfic, inceptionWhere I Am: TorontoFeeling: accomplishedListening To: Greenday - Hitching A Ride

			I Fell Too Fast, I Feel Too Much Title: The Ephemeral Heartache of Bryce DavisonAuthor: plazmahRating: GFandom: RPF (FS)Pairing: Scott/Jessica (fuck all y'all bitchezzzzz) and Bryce/Jessica.Summary: His partner and best friend is getting married; no time like the present to mourn for what he has lost. Thankfully, he has a friend who understands.Notes: Thanks to wasabi_girl1 for the beta. I started this fic with the intent of making it super angsty, but halfway through writing it I actually met Scott and Tessa (and saw Jessica) in Ilderton and I just could not continue on the same vein of tragic unrequited romance. So this is what I created instead. And now I have no idea if it's appropriate for The Comm. Therefore, in a major departure from my regular fic posts, I give my fair readers a poll. Poll #1594054 In the matter regarding FS RPF Open to: Friends, detailed results viewable to: Friends. Participants: 4 Should I post this fic to virtuemoir even though it's not Scott/Tessa?

			I Know That We'll Have A Ball Yesterday, I went to Stars On Ice with wasabi_girl! And to make it easy on everyone, I made up videos to summarize our experience.Some things I didn't cover in the videos:Yes, I know, that white speck annoys me too. My digital camera has a broken pixel. Boooo!There's a definite lack of Tessa/Scott footage unfortunately, and this is because whenever they skated I sort of just wanted to feast on their performance with my own eyes and cling to wasabi_girl1 instead of fiddling with a piece of technology.Actually, there's a general lack of everything, media-wise, because my camera no longer meets my ridiculously high standards. Blah.Pictures of our sign: the front and the back!We got distracted and didn't recruit the girls sitting in front of us. LOL, they were such massive Tessa/Scott fans. And Scott fangirls in particular, hahaha.There was some guy sitting behind us talking about how touring in Japan was tough, and how all his Facebook friends were people from the National Ballet, which made me go "WTF who is this guy? Another figure skater?? Would I know him?!" I turned around and didn't recognize who he was though.OKAY, that first group dance before the intermission was THE SHIT. Not only was the music they used FANTASTICO, but I'M SORRY I could not take my eyes off Tessa because she was all fierce and pretty and omg so good.At the very end of their routine, Bryce got his sweater caught in Jessica's big-ass necklace and it took them a bit of time to get untangled for their bows. Jessica totally facepalmed right there on the ice, hee.After the cast did their very final bow (the one with the kicks), Scott got all giddy and started jumping up and down on the ice, one arm around Tessa and the other around Salé I think. It was TOO CUTE.Kurt Browning did a whole routine in hockey skates! WAT!After the show, when Browning was explaining that certain routines would be repeated for TV, he said something like "So someone is backstage naked, getting changed into the right outfit" and some guy behind us yelled out "TESSA!" which made me and wasabi_girl1 go O_O to the max.In the add-on segment with Joannie, Browning, Sawyer, and Buttle, it was mainly the boys interacting (poor Joannie didn't even get a mic!), and omfg they were so slashy, no lie. You can just see how much they all get along and enjoy working with each other.wasabi_girl and I have decided that since there was no show the next day and because Pelltier was so intent on getting out of there for a drink, the cast went to the London Tap House and had the top floor patio all to themselves and the youngins got tipsy enough to start dancing and there was fun/sexy/awkward times all around because DUDE, Jessica and Bryce there too? BAD JUJU. ;PPictures (what little I have) have been added to my Flickr account as well. :)ETA: Ani posted her own thoughts here! :)Tags: celebs, family, real life, skating, videosWhere I Am: TorontoFeeling: hungry

| | | | Couple of things, writing mostly Fun fact: up until a few months ago, I didn't realize that paisley print was the same thing as mango print. I've always called the pattern "mango print" because that's what we call it at home. That's what my mom and my aunts all call it. Come to think of it, I wasn't really ever sure what paisley print referred to. I thought it was some kind of flowery polka-dotted pattern, for some reason. Then one day I was online looking for tiling Twitter backgrounds, came across a pattern labeled as paisley, and became very confused. "Wait, that's a mango print! It's called paisley too? But... why?" Wiki came to the rescue of course. Basically, the East India Company couldn't import as many paisley shawls as they wanted to from India, so they started making them in a Scottish town called Paisley.I dunno about anyone else, but I think "paisley" is a really odd name for the pattern when you consider its linguistic roots. Like I said, I think of paisley and I envision flowers and polka-dots. This? Is none of that. I'm calling it mango print til the end of time and I don't care if people don't know what I'm talking about. :P***So last night I suddenly got the BSOD on my laptop for no apparent reason. Fucking BSOD. Anyway, I glibly thought that perhaps there was a god I needed to appease in order to get my technology to work. But then the question remains: who would the Hindu god of technology be? As I fell asleep I decided it was Saraswati but then my mind made a leap to the question "if the Hindu gods were high school students at some posh boarding school in the Himalayan foothills, what would they be like?" This is what I came up with. (I'm too fannish for my own good.)( A Day In The Life Of A Half-Lost Goddess.Collapse )***The only male version of the MPDG I've ever seen in a movie is SRK's character in Kal Ho Na Ho, hahaha. Please tell me there are others out there, in either Bollywood or Hollywood.The original Dreamwidth post has comment count unavailable comments -- View || ReplyTags: bollywood, computer problems,
