The road to hell is paved with good intentions

Oh, god. The buttsex - it follows me everywhere!

2009-11-09T20:55:57Z

My NaNoWriMo story is devouring the soul of my inner slash fan. I have unwittingly made the two main characters male and the plot to center around their strong, platonic connection. Now every instinct is screaming at me to have Character A throw down Character B and take him all hard and forceful.

/Fail

This is going to require more stealth and deceit than I am capable of, guys.

2009-11-09T16:54:18Z

YES, THIS. I want to go so badly. If I have the money when the time comes for registration (I'm known for indulging in book-buying sprees of total randomness that make my bank account weep lonely tears of emptiness) I AM TOTALLY JOINING THIS SHINDIG.

I feel like getting there without my parents' disapproval is going to be a task and a half. They are chronically afraid of Philadelphia, so it's probably going to turn into one of those situations where I use staying at Annie's apartment as a cover and have about a million awkward phone calls with my mom in which I answer every inquiry about Annie with an, "IDK, she's in the shower."

People are dicks.

Apparently laptops have a tendency to break when they fall off your windowsill. Who knew? They also take out a nice chunk of plaster when they impact with the wall on their way down. Um, my bad?

Beat me over the head with a stick, BBs.

I can't believe it's been three weeks since I've updated this. For shame, self! Though, in my defense, I've been extremely busy. This semester is out to kill me via brain eatage. I suppose I don't have it as bad as most in my class. I've decided to take a year off before college in order to save up and take a three-month trip to Europe (exciting!) so I don't have the added pressure of getting all my college shit together asap.

In addition to studying my ass off, I started a new job at the local radio station. Basically, I run commercials and take the commentators on and off the air as needed during live events. I've accidentally talked on air twice and missed just as many commercial cues, but I'm new to it so I'll cut myself some slack. I'm really enjoying it so far and it's making me consider Communications as a possible major; well, that and my Journalism class. I never thought I'd enjoy the more technical side to writing but it's a nice break from the usual creative writing routine.

I've also been working on my novel (see here and here.) It's coming along nicely, albeit slowly. It turns out this whole idea is much harder than it looks but I'm determined to finish it just for the simple fact that I paid $20 for that scrapbook.

ETA: Apparently I posted the same link twice. Fixed now!

"Sympathy for the Devil" SEASON 5, WOOOOO!

2009-09-11T03:21:34Z

Supernatural season 5 is here! I have written a complete recap/response, so if you want to avoid being spoilered, please don't read. Kthanxbye!

SEASON OPENING ZOMG. SEASON 5 ACTUALLY STARTS OUT WITH SAM AND DEAN HOLDING EACH OTHER. THANK YOU, KRIPKE.

Anyway, there is the big, impending doom of the glowy portal, then BAM! The boys are randomly on a plane. Obviously, fighting the minions of hell all year has desensitized Dean to his fear of flying, since he didn't look like he was about to piss his pants this time. Oh, Dean.

Enter Prophet!Chuck, randomly assaulting Sam with a blunt object. "Are you okay?" "Well, my head hurts." LMAO.

Sniff. Even though we know Cas isn't really dead (Misha's name in the credits was kind of a giveaway,) I still teared up a bit when Chuck said he was dead. If exploding sucked for Jack Harkness, it probably sucked for poor Cas too.

BECKY! OH MY FUCKING GOD. Emily Perkins is a gem. Clavicle-sucking, "This is wrong" "I don't want to be right", THE BOYS TALKING HUSKILY. I think she may be the personification of wincest fans everywhere. "It's all real." "I knew it!" We love you too, Kripke.

I don't know whether to squee or be jealous of the fact that she had her hands all over Jared. Just saying. "Could you stop touching me?" "No." UM, what the hell does he expect!? If I got to meet him, I probably wouldn't stop touching him either.

Oh, Bobby. That's cold, dude. I actually teared up a bit there. Sam's kicked-puppy look was just TOO MUCH. Also, Dean seems to be falling back on his usual coping skill: avoid, avoid, avoid, AVOID, AVOID, AVOID GODDAMMIT. We love him anyway.

Doesn't Bobby have some anti-possession mojo going on? The boys have tattoos, and if I recall, Bobby was the one who gave them the charms to ward off possession at the end of BUABS. So, what the hell!? OMG MEG. I don't think I like her new meat suit, but whatever, it's MEG. She's so damn evil, but you have to love her anyway. Though, did anyone else notice she kicked Sam between the legs? I was screaming, "HEY! WATCH THE PADACOCK!" at my tv and waving my arms around like a crazy person. Nothing new there, then.

D'OH. Dean is giving it to Zachariah at every turn in this episode. Of course we knew Castiel was going to pop in and save the day at the last minute. It's, like, a tradition on Supernatural. HE IS KICKING ASS THIS SEASON. Anyone else think his new angel-juice was given to him by God himself? Why else would Zachariah run away with his tail between his legs? For serious.

I busted up when Bobby was bitching at the hospital staff. I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. The little moment between him and Sam gave me some serious warm and fuzzies. We all know you care, Bobby. AWWWWW!

YES, DEAN! THAT'S MY BOY! You kick everyone's ass and teach them who's boss! Though, of course he reverts back to his wibble-face once he's outside. DAMMIT, DEAN! I was expecting make up sex after your little moment with Sam in the finale. DON'T RUIN IT FOR ME.

All in all, it's fucking great to have them back. This is a kickass episode to start off the season. ALSO, YAY NO RUBY! I was kind of concerned that Lucifer would bring her back since she was such a loyal follower. Which could actually still happen, now that I think about it. GODDAMN IT.

ETA: I'm writing a scene-by-scene recap later tonight, for those of you that didn't get to watch it. :D

Writer's Block: Dog Day Afternoon

2009-07-03T16:24:21Z

The Dog Days of summer, the hottest days of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, start today. What's your favorite thing to do in hot weather?

View 502 Answers

I swim in the summertime. Probably a side-effect of all those years of my childhood spent participating in competition swimming. <-Worst days of my life. I loved to swim, but I hated to compete. I'm not an overly-competitive person by nature. I'd rather just mind my own business and have other people do the same. But, you know, sports parents and their need to live vicariously through their child's athleticism.

I mostly ride my scooter on the hot days now. But I suppose I won't be doing that for a while, what with the whole wrecking thing the other day. (Yes, I know, I'm sad to wreck my scooter but ouch.) Oh well, I've resigned myself to the fact that I'm a hopeless klutz and I can't go a day without hurting myself.

In celebration of the release of Friday the 13th Part 12, I am hosting a ficathon for Jensen/Jared, Sam/Dean, and crossovers featuring Jensen's character/Jared's character (i.e. Ten Inch Hero/Cry_Wolf - Priestly/Tom). This is the second part of the ficathon, preceded by the My Bloody Valentine Realese Party Meme.

You can enter new prompts until the end of July. Our goal is to reach 100 ficlets between the two memes, to show our appreciation to Jared and Jensen and all the amazing work they do.

Prompts can be added by leaving a comment on this entry. They should look like this:

Fandom - Pairing - "Prompt"

Example: RPS - Jensen/Jared - "touch"

Prompts can be answered by replying to the comment in which the prompt is located. They should look like this:

Fandom - Pairing - Rating - "Prompt"

[Story Text]

Example: RPS - Jensen/Jared - NC-17 - "touch"

[Story Text]

Prizes will be given to the three people who answer the most prompts. First place will get a two-month paid account, while second and third place will get a two-month add-on of extra userpics.

Any unanswered prompts from the My Bloody Valentine Release Party Meme that you would still like to complete may be moved to the new meme. (Be sure to give credit to the original poster when you repost them.)

All Tom/Clay (My Bloody Valentine/Friday the 13th) fics can be posted at valentineon13th.

I feel like I've gone back in time about 20 years.

2009-06-12T20:01:07Z

I'm writing a new book. I'm doing it in the scrapbook novel (? Is that what it's called? I really don't remember) format. That's basically when you tell a story through various written forms (i.e. letters/postcards sent, journal entries, etc.) Usually, they are put into a scrapbook-type of book along with little nick-knacks that pertain to the story. Some also write in a notebook/journal to emulate a diary, or write on various pieces of paper and stationary and bind them together as a collection of letters.

I've seen some amazing ones done. Some have pasted the envelopes for the letters into the scrapbook with stamps, postmarks and everything (you have to pull the letter from the envelope... kind of like the pop-up book evolved,) and added so much extra stuff to make it realistic. Of course, the only downfall is that you can only have one copy, but the uniqueness and flexibility more than makes up for it.

The novel I'm writing is about a girl in a mental hospital, so I'm telling the story through her journal entries. I started it in a composition book, but I have been thinking about switching to a scrapbook and add the notes from her psychologist and the specifics of her file. I could also make an actual "file" with her information, doctors notes, and the composition notebook. Though, I'd probably lose things left and right if they were just lying in a manila folder.

I haven't decide how I'm going to pursue it yet. I'll have to give it some more thought. Opinions?

This Tainted Love - a Tom/Clay fanmix

Format: .mp3
Filesize: 89MB
Warnings: Slash, language
Download: here
Notes: x-posted @ valentineon13th and acklesaholic

1. Tainted Love – Marilyn Manson

This tainted love you've given
I give all a boy could give you
Take my tears and that's not nearly all
Tainted love

2. Afterglow – Garbage

You're always looking for affection
And all its possibilities.
Your sense of searching for attention,
Emerging need of gravity.

I think you think you're someone else,
You've got to learn to save yourself
Before you find there's nothing left,
But bitterness and holiness

3. Pretty When You Cry - VAST

I didn't want to hurt you baby
I didn't want to hurt you
I didn't want to hurt you
But you're pretty when you cry

I didn't want to fuck you baby
I didn't want to fuck you
I didn't want to fuck you
But you're pretty when you're mine

4. Meds - Placebo

I was alone, falling free
Trying my best not to forget
What happened to us, what happened to me
What happened as I let it slip

Baby, did you forget to take your meds?
Baby, did you forget to take your meds?

5. Like a Stone - Audioslave

By a freeway I confess
I was lost in the pages
Of a book full of death
Reading how we'll die alone

And on my death bed I will pray
To the gods and the angels
Like a pagan to anyone who will take me to heaven
To a place I recall
I was there so long ago

6. I Drilled a Wire Through My Cheek - Blue October

Now crawling I position myself
Below your broken wings
I lift your feathered left arm
Where you hide your heart from me

I never noticed it was swollen
With a touch of brutal pain
I never knew a heart could live inside
The rust from all your rain

7. You Make Me Sick - Egypt Central

You make me sick,
but I love what we're doing here
You make me sick,
and I can't be the only one
You make me sick,
but I love what we're doing here
You make me sick,
and I can't be the only one

8. Fine Again - Seether

And I am aware now
Of how everything's gonna be fine
One day, too late, I'm in Hell
I am prepared now
Seems everyone's gonna be fine
One day, too late, just as well.

I feel the dream in me expire
And there's no one left to blame it on
I hear you label me a liar
'Cause I can't seem to get this through

9. Let You Down - Three Days Grace

Trust me,
I'll be there when you need me.
You'll be safe here.
When you finally trust me,
Finally believe in me...

I will,
Let you down. I'll,
Let you down. I'll,
When you finally trust me, finally believe in me

10. Don't Take Your Love Away from Me- VAST

Put me inside flesh that is dying
A ghost that wanders without rest
Burried by desires and weakness
I understand

Please, Don't take your love away from me
Don't take your love away from me
Please don't take your love from me
Please don't take your love from me

11. Comatose - Skillet

I hate feeling like this
I'm so tired of trying to fight this
I'm asleep and all I dream of
Is waking to you

I don't wanna live
I don't wanna breathe
'les I feel you next to me
You take the pain I feel

12. Fear of Being Alone - The Exies

Come here, I've
Got a fear of being alone
Will you nurse it?
I can't sew the wounds myself

In you, a refuge
The safest place to call my home
Killing the feeling
This fear of being alone

13. Blue Monday - Orgy

How does it feel
To treat me like you do
When you've layed your hands upon me
And told me who you are
I thought I was mistaken
I thought I heard your words
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now how do I feel

14. Afflicted - Age of Daze

You’re much too good for this life
And all the pain that you hide
I want to take you away
Wipe the tears from your eyes

I am addicted, addicted to you
Like a bad pill, like a sick thrill
I can’t get enough of you

15. Creep - Radiohead

I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here

Hello, my dear friend Mr. Coffee Pot

2009-04-29T23:43:12Z

I've been really busy lately. I started four summer classes, much to my chagrin (but what can you do?) and I've been working tirelessly on my magazine. I'm also organizing a "book swap" where people donate books and for about three days, other people can come through and trade a book for one of the books that were donated. Then, all of the books are going to be taken to Appalachia--they are crazy-poor there and there is a "clothing swap" every year so I thought, why not send books too? I'm really excited about it. I like to do charity work when I can, but there are not a lot of opportunities where I live. Plus, I love reading and it makes me happy to think I'm helping someone else develop a love for books. (:

I AM THE PROPHET CHUCK!

My very first business meeting. :D

2009-04-19T01:31:59Z

I had my first official meeting for my magazine today. :D I don't know if I've mentioned this on here before, but I've been planning a horror-based literary magazine for, like, years now. Basically, I'm going to publish about 5-6 (the exact number is still undecided) short-stories that readers send in; spotlight a certain urban legend/folktale/creature each issue with accurate information about the lore; fun articles about the occult (Ghosthunting Handbook, anyone? :D); ticklemepanic will be answering reader's questions about the supernatural (lore/advice/whatever else); and we may or may not add a section where I/one of my employees investigate a "haunted" site (I should probably keep Michael away from this section, because I won't be able to resist posting the video on the website, in which he is probably screaming like a girl.)

The meeting was exciting and we covered a lot of issues. The only thing we disagreed on was whether to do an ezine or a printed magazine. Joelle and Michael voted for online, but I still want printed. As editor/creator I may just say, "WTFE, I'm the editor, I make the rules. We are doing printed." I think the conspiracy against printed is because they know I will have to do the entire set-up if we go online (jk, guys!) They cried HTML-retardation five minutes into the meeting. It was a good test for my unimpressed-boss face. It excites me to know that particular facial expression comes quite naturally.

We are also accepting reader-submitted articles, because I will be damned if I will be writing some of them them on top of editing everything. Reader-submitted photography is welcomed, too. Also, any suggestions/what you'd like to see in the mag are always appreciated. :D

It's a bit delayed, but here is my response to episode 4.18 of Supernatural:

Okay, first of all, I missed the damn episode and had to catch it on YouTube on Friday. It had surprisingly good quality, so I didn't complain... much.

I loved the idea of talking about the fandom within the canon. I thought it was a unique spin on things. And the publisher? Made me giggle so hard. She is like the average ~~Supernatural~~ fangirl. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I have personally had the whole "It's so much better when they express their man-pain!!!!!" conversation. AND YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHEN IT'S COMING because they always pull over the car and get out to have their chick-flick moments on the shoulder of the road OR they start an argument that quickly leads to them sharing their man-pain in a strategically-scheduled, confessional crying tiem (aka the end of the episode, usually.)

I had mixed reactions on the whole Wincest reference. I was laughing hysterically throughout the whole scene until Dean slammed the laptop closed and said, "That's just sick." OKAY WE GET IT! YOU DON'T APPROVE OF THE INCESTUOUS BUTTSEX! ~~Get over it~~ Kindly ignore it and let us ~~make them take it up the ass multiple times~~ have our fun in peace. They are trying so hard to shove the het down our throats right now. What with giving them multiple sex scenes in one season and trying every possible way to make them appear arrow-straight. We know that they are not really gay ~~(even though they act like it sometimes.)~~ Throwing multiple love interests into, like, every episode is not going to deter us. We will just find a way to twist the situation to our benefit and then bitch about the predictability of it. We are slash fans and we have been doing this for years, people. Don't fuck with the professionals. XD

Chuck was just adorable. "I am the prophet Chuck!" <-LOL at that. We love you, Chuck. Even more so now that we know you can't die. Kripke actually saved one of his characters from his let's-kill-off-all-the-characters-the-fans-love ways. If only Andy'd had an archangel protecting him.

CAS IS SO ADORABLE WHEN HE'S BEING STEALTHY! ZOMG!

That's the end of my response/rant because if I don't stop now, I never will. :D
