a list

Things wot I have learned today:

  1. I am still so emotionally invested in Sam and Dean, even though I like to pretend I'm not. I haven't been able to change the songs on my iPod since I got my new computer, since it's the only copy I have of all the old stuff that was on Elphaba before she kicked it, and so I still have tons of the music I listened to religiously that meant Sam&Dean to me. While writing in the Library today, I had it on shuffle and Brothers On a Hotel Bed came on, and I started sniffling. I really hope the finale tears my heart out in a good way - the kind of way that IMToD did - and not in an "oh, Eric Kripke, how do you get funding" way. I'm insanely worried.

  2. [livejournal.com profile] schneestern thinks I should make out with [livejournal.com profile] kashmir1 at Shore Leave.

  3. Rereading an author's entire body of work is very satisfying. The past three days have seen me going through [livejournal.com profile] thegrrrl2002's website, and can I just say that if you're new around here and haven't stumbled upon it yet, her and [livejournal.com profile] yin_again wrote wristband porn. I always forget, and then it hits me over the head like a very, very attractive plank of wood.

  4. Hot, humid weather makes me want to listen to the Juno Soundtrack. It's so...sunshine-y. If that's a word. Which it isn't, but whatever. Here it is for you, in case you haven't yet experienced its awesome.

  5. August Rush is an incredibly awesome movie; you should all see it if you can. Robin Williams was fabulous, mostly because I would never, ever expect that kind of role from him, and Kerri Russel keeps amazing me lately with how absolutely beautiful she's become. Not that she wasn't pretty before, but when you see her on the screen with her cello in August Rush, it's just - wow. Stunning. The entire main cast stunned me, actually. Freddie Highmore is so young to be playing such a big part, but he pulled it off and left me madly in love with August.

Actually, I have to say that I agree with [livejournal.com profile] unamaga. When I find new authors that I particularly like, I typically mainline all of their work in a pretty short span of time, and with writers that have a tendency to use specific tropes (note: not overuse), it does really feel more like a general characterization, like those fics sort of exist in an AU universe of their own. I actually remember feeling that way when I read through all of your fic, oh so long ago. You definitely didn't fit in the "overuse" category (otherwise known as, "Pick a new plot, please *God*. Or just put the thesaurus down and back away from the computer.") Mind you, I also like authors that constantly mix things up, it really just depends what I'm in the mood for.

Besides, how on Earth *could* anyone get over Rodney's skin and John's wrists? Be serious now. :)

Thank you--that does make me feel better! I've gotten kind of set in my ways with John and Rodney at this point, and I worry that I'm being awfully repetitive. But...I just have so much fun with them! With Rodney's pretty creamy white skin! And John's dainty wrists! They're so irresistible!!
