NERD LOVE!!!
SO last week I quit my job in a really ridiculous way where I was basically freaking out mental health wise so badly that they were like "take awhile, bb, and if you need to come back in a month or so you can". And I was super nervous because lol quitting my job in the middle of a recession, and lol have no skills besides food service (I worked at a smoothie place), and just a million other things.

Naturally I immediately jumped on top of every craigslist and campus job I could find. My resolution was that I wasn't going to do any food service or major chain retail unless I got really desperate, because those are the jobs that take up all my time and bog me down in terms of making contacts that will enable me to actually have a career when I graduate.

blah blah blah. anyway.

Last week I answered an ad about work-from-home transcription work, thinking it was probably a scam but hey, might as well give it a try! And it turns out: IT IS NOT, IN FACT, A SCAM. the pay is actually pretty decent! and I can work WHENEVER I WANT. FROM HOME. WHERE I CAN WORK IN MY PAJAMAS. AND WHILE CRAZY. \o/

I am thanking pretty much everyone in the GALAXY right now, because holy shit is this a lucky break.

fwoosh

So I did the crankypants love meme! Here I am. Since I already posted today I have nothing else useful to offer. Except that [profile] marksykins has handed me a challenge: she says I'm too adorable to be creepy. So if you have suggestions for how I should prove her wrong, feel free to offer them. >:)

re: fob: I'm...not as viscerally sad as I thought I would be. I think it's because I assumed they were breaking up since the Blink tour was announced, because the whole thing had a farewell-tour vibe to me. (Now I sound like a crazy fan who thinks she's pscyhic or ~knows the band~. whoops.) So I've been saying goodbye mentally for awhile now. Still, it's fucking sad and the more I think about it the sadder it gets. :( Pete :( Fall Out Boy :(

So I really want to have a hug huddle with all my fellow fob/petewives right now. BLANKET FORT TIMES. WHO'S WITH ME?

eta: a lot maudlin )
i know something you don't know
Title: Psychologically Disturbed
Pairing: Holmes/Watson/Mary
Rating: Adult
Word Count: 10,050
Summary: Irene stirs up trouble, Holmes is jealous, Mary is perplexed, and Watson is exasperated.
Notes: Thanks to [personal profile] angelsaves. Technically a sequel to Of Dubious and Questionable Memory, but to read this on its own all you really need to know is Irene conned Mary into going to the U.S. for adventures before Mary and Watson got married. Title from this exchange in the movie where Watson concludes he's nuts for following Holmes around. YOU MIGHT BE RIGHT, SIR.

Under the cut or at AO3.

He wondered sometimes if she saw the world the same way he did. )

but what if i'm right
Comment with the name of a female character (in any show, movie, book, comic, etc that you think I'm familiar with) and I'll tell you one thing I love about her. In return, you can do the same in your journal (if you like!).

also, if you give me a prompt, I will write a commentfic about her!

GO HERE IF YOU LOVE FREEDOM

THIS IS IN HONOR OF OUR ABBY, [personal profile] angelsaves, and also [personal profile] way2busymom, WHO REQUESTED THIS! SRY BB, WE'RE NOT ACTUALLY DRUNK, BUT WE STILL SOUND RIDICULOUS! :D?
wily girl detective
if i see one more dyke say OBAMA DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE GAYS I'm gonna kill them. Of course Obama doesn't care about the gays! We know this! He has never made us ANY promises, just namedropped us when it was convenient. And yeah, it's a big deal that we even get namedropped, but Florida and Alabama and a bunch of other places think we're not FIT TO RAISE CHILDREN and the fact that we get namedropped, and the fact that maybe some day we'll be able to get married, is not going to be because Obama stood up for us. It will be when we wrest power from the goddamn fucking HRC and get some decent pro-gay rights campaigning going on.

FOR GOD'S SAKE IN THE VICE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES BIDEN WAS CAREFUL TO ONLY IMPLY THAT HE DIDN'T WANT TO LIGHT GAYS ON FIRE, AND MAYBE NOT INFRINGE ON THEIR RIGHTS. THAT DOES NOT MEAN SUPPORT. THAT MEANS, PLEASE VOTE FOR US BUT ALSO STAND AT A DISTANCE SO WE CAN RETAIN THE VOTES OF MODERATES WHO DON'T REALLY LIKE THE HOMOS.

*breeeathe*

Anyway, I enjoyed the SOTU because I have no expectations for politicans and just think it's nice that Obama can pronounce 'nuclear' properly. And that there were so many sharply dressed ladies and Biden's general existence. Oh, and Fifty-Eight Is A Majority is a great site, if you've never seen it before. I blame most of the problems we have right now on the combination of a moderate president (that's another pet peeve. omg did no one check Obama's Senate voting record before they voted for him. Wait, of course they didn't, the other option was McSoldMySoul. THIS JUST IN: DUDE'S A MODERATE) and the world's least effectual Democratic majority. Sometimes I think about how much the Dems HAVEN'T accomplished and kick a wall. Can it be time for the revolution yet? No? How about now?

Also there's this ad currently circulating on cable about how some politican running for office in Springfield fudged some paperwork and made it seem like a senior lived in a house she owned, by using dead people's names in the paperwork. Speaking of politics that are really kind of hilarious...

Anyway, that's all boring stuff. Can we discuss this picture?

OH GOD. Apparently when you're me and [profile] just_katarin, demolishing a bottle and a half of bacardi razz results in drunken walks to Walgreens, Snuggie and stuffed frog-buying for [personal profile] angelsaves, and public peeing. The last was me, and I can only defend it by saying that we'd been waiting for the bus for approximately half an eternity and Katarin told me I couldn't. So I did.

It was okay, though, because neither of us puked and we remembered to put the Diet Coke we bought in the fridge. And [personal profile] angelsaves liked her Snuggie. She is smarter than both of us, by the way, because when she realized she was super drunk she went to bed instead of going on a Coke-buying mission to Walgreens fuelled by hurriedly downing the last half-glass of rum and coke.

Anyway, drunken adventures aside, I have nothing useful to say! It's Sunday night and I'm gonna read about lesbians now, I suppose. And compile pictures for my Lady Gaga/Beyoncé thing.
bring me that horizon
INTERNET I HAVE MADE AN IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

today I ran into my house after work to change my shirt so [personal profile] angelsaves could be her awesome self and drive us to cupcakes to see [personal profile] shoemaster, and I threw off my shirt and put on a new one, lost my phone twice and my keys once (this is normal), put on a hoodie, grabbed my scarf and gloves, went to swing my coat on -

And, as I felt it brush my legs, realized that somehow, without any conscious intent, I had taken my pants off.

Some people remember to turn off the oven, or take their vitamins. I take my pants off.

On a more serious note: I've been following this post and its previous ones, and while I'm happy to see people talking about their Mary Sues and I do agree that there need to be more women and people of color in fandom...y'all, we've been talking about this for a long fucking time. It's just bumming me out at this point, because for a few weeks we'll pat ourselves on the back for comitting! to! change! and then, you know, go back to writing about white dudes.

At this point I'm feeling very "put up or shut up" about the whole thing. Idk. I SHOULD POST EVIDENCE FOR WHY LADY GAGA IS SECRETLY A WORLD-CONQUERING ALIEN AND I'M OKAY WITH THAT, Y/MFY/NO, WRITE THE FIC WITH LADYSLASH PORN INSTEAD
NERD LOVE!!!
Hello, flist! Today is a day of celebration, for I have KICKED MY CAFFEINE HABIT! \o/ The headaches are GONE! HALLELUJAH!

Don't forget that at the beginning of February, [profile] halfamoon starts up! [profile] halfamoon is a comm about posting female-centric fanworks from Feb 1 to Feb 14. It is a fabulous idea! Everyone should participate.

Last night I went down to the South Side for a series of bad decisions, one of which was watching Leverage! )

I am starting the cult of Gaga. We will have weekly meetings where we will wear no pants, drink wine, and dance.

That is all. Carry on!

FUCKIN' RIGHT! it's supposed to be Amber Rose btw.

This weekend has been really weird. Friday night I had, hands down, the worst dream I've had in at least two years, and it made me shaky and prone to crying for all of Satuday. When I finally forced myself to sleep again, though, I had the same fuzzy kitten in every single dream I had. I am going to assume this is my brain's way of apologizing for being a dick.

Also, this morning I got hit by a car! Because when it's 8 on a goddamn Sunday morning, the right thing to do is to make a sharp right-hand turn while NOT IN THE RIGHT HAND TURN LANE and misjudge it so terribly that the girl who's just stepped into the right-hand turn lane (because, you know, NO ONE ELSE IS AROUND AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE GOING STRAIGHT) ends up being bodily slammed against the side of your car.

Seriously, a bigger step from me or a slightly sharper turn on the driver's part and I'd be in the hospital right now. And I know they saw me because they slowed down until I waved them to keep going because I thought they were going STRAIGHT because they were NOT IN THE GODDAMN RIGHT-HAND TURN LANE, FUCK YOU, CAR.

I wasn't even mad at the time because I was too tired to process what had happened. I was just like "well ok then" and kept going to work. But now I just keep getting madder and madder.

My milk has an inappropriately early expiration date, so if anyone feels like reccing exciting things I can do with milk tonight (if you know what I mean and I think you do) then I would appreciate it greatly. SUNDAY NIGHT IS HOPPIN' UP HERE!

fandom drift is so WEIRD, dudes, I have no idea how to handle it. Well, that is a lie, I do. But it's still weird!

Having said that, these pictures of Pete and Ashlee (stolen from someone on my Twitterlist, I don't remember who) are the CUTEST FUCKING THINGS EVER, OH MY GOD. :DDDDDD It's totally attention whore-y, but in the funniest way. Whatever, I wife them both ridiculously hard. And I can't wait for Ashlee's Broadway stint because ♥______♥

I wanted to get pictures of Rachel McAdams as Irene Adler and talk about how hot she is, but they're few and far between and I am LAZY. So I will probably wait till the DVD's out to really picspam it. but dudes, SHE IS SO HOT.

Going back to Ashlee, what I really want at this point in time is Ashlee/Pete porn where Ashlee dresses in like, slacks and a fedora and a button-up with suspenders, and then tops Pete. With handcuffs. I keep reading people's responses to the fanfic tropes meme, and holy shit, you know what I love even more than dudes in dresses? Ladies in full-on formal menswear. SO MUCH. Irene Adler is kind of dressed like this at one point, and you know what, actually I am just going to picspam hot ladies now. Some of them are in menswear! Some of them are Rachel McAdams. hot ladies! )
puff!
FUCK ME, I HATE .FLACS. JUST BUY A FUCKING RECORD, FUCKFACE. >:(
