➳ I've decided I want to be Zorro for Halloween. Mostly because I look foine in black and I like eye masks. I was going to be Mabel from Gravity Falls originally but that would be too much work tbh.

What are you lot dressing up as?

➳ I wrote fic! Glitter Disco Hot Mess. Fucked around on photoshop and made a graphic for it that'll link to it.



It's also at AO3 and FF.net tho.

➳ FINALLY GETTING MY HAIR REDYED RED AGAIN TOMORROW. It's been months and my hair is faded as fuuuuck.

How are you bbs doing?

We Were Born To Lose: Sixteen Bits of Severus Snape personal canon

AND I STILL NEED TO SHARE MY DH THOUGHTS I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN.

HEY SO...I WROTE SKINS FIC.

Yes, this is the first time I've written fic that wasn't Harry Potter related and I'm sort of surprised that I did it in the first place. Granted, it's short, unbeta'd, and I started it last night, but still. It's Grace/Rich with Fab Four (ie those two + Franky and Alo). If you want to read it...


( He's annoyed. He's really annoyed. There is never proper justification to blast Abba in small spaces. Frankly, as far as Rich Hardbeck is concerned, there is never proper justification to blast Abba period. )

Grace and Rich thank you for your time:



ETA: Oh yeah and just because:

Stole this from hyacinthian:

Pick a paragraph (or any passage between... let's say 200 and 600 words) from anything I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the character's heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track.

All my stuff is at accio_salmon. Yeeeeup.

In other news, lololol my most recently uploaded Skins icons (most since Rich's ep on Skins as you can see).



Whatever, gonna keep on stanning. Oh and I'm going to go to an event in which the cast of this new gen of Skins answers questions and will be showing ~exclusive~ clips! It's on Thursday somewhere in central London and OMG CANNOT WAIT.

Hey everyone!

+ The next few weeks are going to be a MESS. TRULY. But I must end the semester damn near flawlessly or else. So much work but I SHALL OVERCOME, ETC~

+ I finally posted Privilege and Prejudice to accio_salmon (the fic I wrote for lilyjames_fest. Linkage in the fake cut below. Isn't the prompt photo lovely?



( Light snow blankets the village of Godric’s Hollow on a blistery mid December morning in 1978. )

+ I'm writing a paper for Intro to Black Politics about Black feminist ideology. I'm already Jstoring like crazy but if any of you have any recs or links, that would be AMAZING.

+ I love my baitandbleed ladies. We're so fucking weird ♥ Just saying

+ Does anybody else watch The Walking Dead on AMC? I enjoy it but I also like laughing/screaming at it. The best week ever blog does the funniest recaps, btw.

+ I'm ready to go home now. A little over two weeks until I'm back in LA!

+ /random thoughts. How are you all? I still need to reply to comments when I have a day to do NOTHING...which may just be this weekend. Oh and I still have oodles of HP theme park pics to post. UGH, WINTER BREAK, COME SOONER.

Hey everyone!

+ SO. To get this post started, Sunday's episode of Mad Men: ( Spoilers and SRS BSNSCollapse )

+ THE AWARDS POST FOR lilyjames_fest IS UP!

Congrats to midnight_ljc and chimbleysweep for winning awards and having straight up awesome art.

Also, yay for myself for getting ~second place~ for fic :D I suppose I may as well pimp it now: Privilege and Prejudice

There is also a master list for the flash fiction/art round here. I must go thank the mods and reply to comments at some point today. They did a great job and made my first fest experience enjoyable :3 ♥

+ TODAY IS THE FIRST MEETING OF MY UNI ORGANIZATION "HOWARD STUDENTS FOR PROGRESSIVE ACTION"!!! For those who were on my flist last year/earlier this year, you may remember how much trouble I went through getting this shit together and how delayed I was thanks to some epic incompetence, but today we finally get started and I'm nervous but excited. Cool story, I know.

+ I'm really getting sick of waiting so long for a fucking Inbetweeners link. Damn, tiny fandom. Why can't you be as on it as Skins fans? I mean, same fucking channel and all.

+ I never mentioned my schedule, did I?

( FALL 2010! JUNIOR YEAR.Collapse )

+ And to end the longest post I've done in a while:

When you read this you're tagged! Take a picture of you in your current state, no changing your clothes or quickly putting on makeup. NO PHOTOSHOP. Show your F-List the Real You!

( Damn no photoshop?Collapse )

Okay. How are all of you lovelies?

THIS IS WHAT I WORE TODAY:



THAT IS ALL. BYE ♥

Oh and thank you all for your words of encouragement in my last post :3 I'M TRUDGING ALONG WITH THIS LILY/JAMES FIC!

PROMP CLAIMING FOR LILY/JAMES FEST IS OPEN!

I know there are some talented artists and fic writers on my flist so if you've ever been vaguely curious about writing/drawing the pairing, now is a good time to be inspired. There are a lot of prompts to choose from and it would be great to see more fab Lily/James stuff around fandom so...yes...CLAIM CLAIM CLAIM! I WANT TO ADMIRE SOME GREAT SHIT.

My outfit yesterday, and the keys/earrings I was talking about before (from NYC). Also, my parents got me a new watch. I'm glad it's gold, gold looks good on my skin.

In other news:

+ Still pimpin pimpin: I wrote a fic called It's All Politics. I'd appreciate your thoughts :)

+ There is apparently going to be a Skins movie with gen 1 and gen 2. Lolz idek, guys. I'd still see it though. What do you guys think?

+ I wish I liked the Arctic Monkeys video for My Propeller more. But I was sorta bored/squinted a lot. Some person commented that they copied The Inbetweeners. I lol'd...sorta. Oh well, I'm seeing them in a couple weeks :D

+ Apparently werewolf!Remus almost raped Snape. IDK about you but this is news to me. Oh, Snapefen. Never change and never stop showing us how stupid you all are. Instead of making up canon how about you go apologize to actual victims of rape for such shitty analogies.

+ It's getting gross and hot in DC already and I am not amused. My room is sweltering even with a fan on and I have the windows open but there is NO BREEZE. God, I can't wait to get away from the east coast, only because I hate it when it's hot over here.

+ Ignorance is bliss. I at least hope that they use that ginger in some dish beforehand. Seems like an awful waste.

Mmmmk, I suppose that is all. I've got to get ready to go to Trader Joes. I still need to reply to comments and post my NYC photos. Ooer. But how are all of you lovelies?

2009 was a pretty good year when it all comes down to it! Awesomeness of this year:

( Moments this year that come to mind above all and picspam linkageCollapse )

Other RL things:

( European Vacation Picspam Links and Uber angry feminist rant.Collapse )

accio_salmon/fandom crap:

( Fic and Fan Mix linksCollapse )

Er, random photo from the other night when I went out with some friends:

My New Years gift to you all: NEW ARCTIC MONKEYS SONG! I think it's beautiful tbh. I hope they do a legit recording of it in the studio and put it on a b-sides compilation or something.

Arctic Monkeys - Joining the Dots

Video of the song live. Oh and in case you missed it a bit ago: Favorite Arctic Monkeys Songs Mix

I can't believe the decade is over! What a clusterfuck this decade has been. In this decade I ended elementary school, started Middle and High school, graduated from HS, and started college, so basically this whole decade has made a huge impact on my life thus far. A decade ago tonight I was watching Nickelodeon. Does anybody remember that special they had with a bunch of different kids talking about their hopes and expectations for the future since the ~new millennium~ began. I wonder how cynical those kids are now...lolz sad but srsly, it's a thought. ANYWAY, HOPE NEXT DECADE HAS MORE UPS THAN DOWNS IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS!

Errrrrrrr I think that's all I gotta say. I hope that next year I'm more productive academically and in terms of my writing. What are your plans tonight? I'm just hanging out like I usually do on New Years Eve. Have a great night bbs!
