Reply to this meme by yelling "words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your LJ and explain what they mean to you.

( 5 Words That Remind Eugene of Me )
Holy crap, that took a long time.

So, um. Hello. Greetings from Washington-Dulles International Airport, where I'm waiting to return to New Jersey for a whole five days before I head for California. This is obviously awesome, although my cat is going to hate me and I fully expect to be exhausted come July.

This doesn't make it any less awesome, however.

Other than that, I've been at a conference + vacation this week and have walked so much that I've developed blisters between my toes, I have to go to work tomorrow and really don't want to see the state of the my email inbox. It may make me cry. I've been co-writing a novel and continue to be obsessed with Watchmen.

So things are proceeding as usual.

Do you know how to do any ballroom/stepped-out dances? If so, which, and where did you learn? If not, would you like to and which?

Nope. Um, tango, because I was in Alias fandom way too long, and tango + spies = awesome. I will not be learning to tango, however, because I have that horrifying affliction known as No Rhythm.

Kill, fuck, marry: Byron, Shelley, Keats.

Kill: Keats, and put him in his own urn
Fuck: Byron.
Marry: Shelley. Frankly none of them are a great deal marriage-wise, but Shelley's probably best.

Oxford comma, Y/N?

YES.

Do you know what a bearcat is? If not, why have you wasted so much time without finding out?

I ASSUME YOU DON'T MEAN THE WOODCHIPPER. *googles* Aw, it's CUTE. In a PLZ DON'T EAT ME way.

WHICH ARE BETTER, TEACHERS OR LIBRARIANS? (HINT: ANSWER IS THE FIRST ONE)

LIBRARIANS OBVIOUSLY.

(There is still time, Eugene! You can join the ranks of the more awesome librarians! MELVIL DEWEY COMPELS YOU.)

...So if anyone wants questions from me, feel free to comment.

Yes, I will continue with the drabbles sometime soon.

4. Yaguruma Sou/Kageyama Shun, Kamen Rider Kabuto

10. Tezuka Kunimitsu/Chitose Miyuki, Prince of Tennis

I think the most obvious thing to take from this list is I've been in one fandom for a really damn long time.

A combination of a power outage and napping through said power outage until the lights came back on at 4:30 am has me wide awake, and since I have to get up at 7 there's no point in going back to bed.

So, we write.

( Alias, Jack/Nadia, blood. Takes place in some alternate reality in which neither Nadia nor Jack die. )

( Star Trek, Spock, Command. )

I have been hideously bored lately, and this clearly must alleviated with writing, and since I'm clearly to lazy to write my own ideas at this point in time, this means: drabble meme.

Also, I'm copying eugenetapdance.

Since I am so bored, you each get two requests. Fandoms:

• Watchmen.  Come on people, posts on this LJ indicate that I'm damned obsessed with it.  I've friended people.  Give me some drabble requests this time around.  Please?
• Star Trek Reboot.
• Kamen Rider - Decade or Kabuto
• Prince of Tennis
• Alias

Amuse me, people.

But surprisingly, my slash ship is not Spock/Kirk, as it was for TOS, but Kirk/Sulu. And my het ship is Spock/Uhura. I envision writing for both, possibly.

And now I'm off to find icons.

ETA: Also, "Live Long And Prosper" has never sounded so much like "Fuck you, Assholes" as when Zach Quinto says it.

Dear Self:

The next time you wonder how half the restaurants in Midtown Manhattan seem to know you by sight, I would like to remind you that you put on the following:

- orange striped t-shirt
- denim skirt
- purple peep-toe flats
- pink knit beret

At the same time.


Seriously, it's like I took being the exception to the New Yorkers Wear Black rule to a crazy extreme.

Dear Adrian and Dan:

I am not writing a five things fic in which Dan dies. Not doing it. No. Shut up. Character death fics tend to be super angsty and ridiculous, and I'm not doing it.

So go back and figure out something else, dammit.

Muzy, who, once again, is not writing any damned deathfic.

ETA: I'm screwed. I know I'm screwed. I'm going to get a reputation in this fandom for writing depressing fic by myself and fluffy porn with glasspyramids. *opens Google Docs with a glum expression*

Mom of Muzy: Did you know they're turning that graphic novel, Watchmen, into a movie?

Muzy: .....
Muzy: Yeah. I, uh, saw it in March.
Mom of Muzy: Oh. I saw it on Reelz.


Oh, Mother.

Goddamn this fandom is full of crazy Rorschach fluff, and this seems wrong somehow.

I mean...fluffy. Rorschach. FLUFFY.

I realize it may be somewhat hypocritical to be perturbed by this as I have been known to write fairly fluffy Adrian Veidt, but still. Fluffy Rorschach is on another level of brainhurt.

Plane tickets have taken a dive for the week I'm tentatively planning my vacation to the Watchmen pr0n mecca California, so I'm wondering if I should just buy now. Or wait. They might go lower - it's like $230 on JetBlue right now.

Decisions.

Please feel free to ignore me, I am slightly neurotic.


In other news, this morning's commute was exceedingly annoying and I hate umbrellas.

Quite possibly the most hilarious Watchmen vid I have seen ever (yes, I know I've only been in the fandom a month).




BRB LOLING FOREVER.

I'm pretty sure everyone who wants them has them, but in the event that they don't: I have two Dreamwidth codes. Comment if you want them. Comments are screened.

So for various reasons, I'm still on my parents' cell phone plan (yeah, I'm 28. Every year I say: I can get one of my own! Every year it gets renewed and I continue to have a number in my parents' area code) and they don't have text messaging because they don't use it and I didn't really use it much until the last month or so. (I did, for the record, tell them they should add it to the account back in February)

Long story short, my mother woke me up this morning to tell me there was a $78 data charge this month on the cell phone bill. Thus, if you text me - and you know who you are - we're going to need to stop that until they get a text plan, which won't be until my father gets back from South America.

...And that was a fun way to start my Saturday,

(The fun part, of course, was when she went "what do they text you about?" because slash writing ideas is not actually something she'd get.)

Which of you people are on dreamwidth again?

Er.  LJ ate half my answer.  Let's try again.

Oldest is kagenokaji , who I met when I was...20? and she was 18.  After that are glasspyramids and tornadorex, who I met the next year (and they've been dating/engaged/married the entire time I've known them, isn't that cute?)

After that is xandrabelle , sumeragiskank , and gekidasa , all of whom I met at the CLAMPesque forums before LJ was trendy. 

Am spending my evening looking for pictures of Elijah Wood in a tuxedo.  This is what Watchmen does to you, people.

Yes, people.  It is indeed drabble meme time.  The rules are as follows:

1. You give me a character or characters or pairing from one of the fandoms listed below.
2. You give some kind of prompt and or theme.
3. I write something.

Fandoms you can request are: Alias, Merlin, Prince of Tennis, Kamen Rider Kabuto, Kamen Rider Decade, or Watchmen.

Only one request per person.  I'm not a machine. \:D/

I'm kind of worried about Chuck.

I'll be honest and admit I don't exactly help the ratings. I have a DVR, and I have about ten unwatched episodes of both Chuck and 30 Rock on it. I keep intending to marathon it, and keep not getting around to it.

Anyway, for most of the season, I haven't worried about it. Chuck's got some fans among the bigwigs at NBC, so I assumed it'd be safe. But now, after reading interviews with the cast, I'm concerned - because it sounds like they've basically prepared themselves to be gone. And it sounds like the writers wrote a season finale that could easily double as a series finale

Despite the fact that I barely watch it, if Chuck gets cancelled, I'll be very sad: it's pretty much the only non-reality tv show I make time for at all.
