(no subject)
Life is exhausting, for the record. I almost had to work every day this week, but I got out of my Sunday hours by promising a 6-pack of beer to one of my co-workers if he would work it for me. So yay for a semi-weekend.
I do have to brag for a moment though, because I'm really kind of proud of this - I'm down to about 125-130lbs and now wearing a (very loose) size 3/4. Work may be dominating my life, but it's giving me a wickedly awesome body. :P
If any of you don't filter and/or skim my entries anymore, drop me a quick comment and let me know how life is treating you these days. I miss a lot of you, and even though I don't comment, I do read everyone's entries on a daily basis. I should start commenting, shouldn't I? I'll try to do that.
Also, I said I was going to do an anonymous meme to get some things off my chest, and I will momentarily, but first a slightly happier meme that I've seen bouncing around.
Stolen from slumber who stole from el_em_en_oh_pee who stole from acidpop25. Hee, I like lists.
Make a list of 12 characters, from multiple fandoms or just one, and only then look behind the cut for the questions.
1) Draco Malfoy
2) Seamus Finnigan
3) Pansy Parkinson
4) Marcus Flint
5) Oliver Wood
6) Hermione Granger
7) Harry Potter
8) Narcissa Malfoy
9) Lily Potter
10) Romilda Vane
11) Zacharias Smith
12) Parvati Patil
1. Have you ever read a Six/Eleven (Hermione/Zacharias) fic? Do you want to?
Sure, why not? Hermione could so put Zacharias in his place.
2. Do you think Four (Marcus Flint) is hot? How hot?
Hells yes I do! He was one of my first HP crushes that I can recall. Except um, y'know... the teeth thing. Which is so movie-canon. So there.
3. What would happen if Twelve (Parvati) got Eight (Narcissa) pregnant?
That would be some crazy shit, let me tell you. Unless Narcissa decided she wanted another pointy blond child and Lucius had man-malfunctions and they went to Parvati as a Healer to help them. (See, now the above scenario posed in the question is not so 'splodey-brain-inducing.)
4. Can you rec any fics about Nine (Lily Potter)?
Actually, I've not read that much Lily fic. I should. Rec me some?
5. Would Two (Seamus) and Six (Hermione) make a good couple?
Erm, probably not so much. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen this pairing attempted. And am so not inspired to write it.
6. Five/Nine (Oliver/Lily) or Five/Ten (Oliver/Romilda)?
Oliver/Romilda would be HOT. I would so go for that. Plus, Oliver/Lily being kind of IMPOSSIBLE and all. (No time-travel kthx.)
7. What would happen if Seven (Harry) walked in on Two (Seamus) and Twelve (Parvati) having sex?
Strangely enough, I can sort of see that happening. Harry would probably blush awkwardly and leave.
8. Make up a summary for a Three/Ten (Pansy/Romilda) fic.
Bitch sex, what? You know it's hot.
9. Is there such thing as One/Eight (Draco/Narcissa) fluff?
INCEST, WHAT? If you left out the incesty part, and did like, a mum!Narcissa doing cute parenting-type things with ickle!Draco type of scene, that could be fluffy.
10. What kind of plot device would you use if you wanted Four (Marcus) to deflower One (Draco)?
BAHA. Quidditch locker rooms much? Probably after that first game that Slytherin totally loses to Gryffindor because Marcus would have to make his displeasure at losing very clear to Draco. (And omg, so what if Draco liked it a little bit?)
11. Does anyone on your flist read Seven (Harry) slash?
I think a good third of my flist are H/D fans, if that answers your question.
12. Does anyone on your flist read Three (Pansy) het?
I seem to recall some Pansy/Draco shippers amonst my flist-arsenal.
13. Does anyone on your friends list write or draw Eleven (Zacharias)?
At least a handful of my flist has written Zach, and dark_eyed_amy used to rp a delicious Zach back in the day.
14. Would anyone on your flist write a Two/Four/Five (Seamus/Marcus/Oliver)? What might Five scream at a moment of great passion?
Whoa, wtf. I dare say no one's ever conceived such a threesome, mostly because I have no idea how one would get Seamus mixed into it all. Which is sad, in a way, because Marcus/Oliver is hot times a million, and Seamus would just add to that exponentially.
15. If you wrote a songfic about Eight (Narcissa), which song would you choose?
My first thought? "Barracuda" by Heart. XD But probably something more emo after Deathly Hallows, like "Right To Be Wrong" by Joss Stone or oh!oh! "Stolen" by Dashboard Confessional would be a really sad Narcissa/Lily. Or haha, "Rehab" by Amy Winehouse. Oh, amusement.
16. If you wrote a One/Six/Twelve (Draco/Hermione/Parvati) what would the warnings be?
Bondage (haha, Hermione and Parvati are so dom), femmeslash, humiliation (once again, haha @ Draco), um... excessive hotness? This would be a really awesome fic to write actually.
17. What might a good pick-up line for Two (Seamus) to use on Ten (Romilda)?
"You don't need to use any love potions on me, love... I've got a bottle of whiskey right here." *facedesk* omg, idek.
18. When was the last time you read a fic about Five (Oliver)?
Wow, it's been a really long time. Probably the last one I read was when I was revising my own Oliver/Hermione ficlet, and that was freakin' ages ago.
19. What's Six's (Hermione's) super-sekrit kink?
SHE HATES REDHEADS, OMG SCANDAL. Ha, no, um... public sex? Library sex? Sex with books? Sex while thinking about books? Sex while thinking about books about sex? Oh, the list is endless (and humourless).
20. If Three (Pansy) and Seven (Harry) get together, who tops?
HAHA. Pansy would DOMINATE Harry's ass, liek whut.
21. One (Draco) and Nine (Lily) are in a happy relationship until Nine (Lily) suddenly runs off with Four (Marcus). One (Draco), broken-hearted, has a hot one-night stand with Eleven (Zacharias) and a brief unhappy affair with Twelve (Parvati), then follows the wise advice of Five (Oliver) and finds true love with Three (Pansy)." What title would you give this fic? Name three people on your friends list who might read it. Name one person who should write it.
Time Travel For Dummies, or How Draco Got His Groove Back Haha, Potter I Banged Your Mum No, I have no idea. I would hate the ending to that story though. Draco so should've just stayed with Zach and had hot boy!sex for the rest of his life and Parvati could console herself by getting it on with Pansy. Better ending, y/y? And NO should write this OR read it, because yeah, it smells like daytime tv drama.
Okay. Anonymous meme. I've put a lot of thought into this, and it's really, really not meant to offend anyone. It's just... well, I'm sure a lot of you have had a go at me (and rightly so, as often as I've cut out on you all), but there are things I've always meant to say to you all as well that I just never had the courage to. So... anonymous commenting is on, if you want to say something. Nothing's screened though, so if someone really lays into me, whether it's deserved or not, you'll all get to read the unfolding drama.
1. You. You have put up with me for so many years, been a friend to me so many times when I didn't deserve someone like you in my life. I couldn't even put into words what you mean to me if I tried. I miss you most of anyone right now, just because almost no one else gets me quite like you do, and none of my other friends will ever compare to you. Life continues to drift us apart, but I hope you'll always remember how much I love you, and how important you are to me.
2. You kind of scare me, actually. In fact, I half think you were stalking me at one point. So I'm rather glad you don't seem to be around much anymore, because I think you liked me much more than I ever liked you.
3. I've always been envious of how popular you are. You're smart, and talented, and hilarious, and have tons upon tons of friends on your list. Your posts are always interesting to read, and make me feel like my life is just really, really dull. I wish I had the time to be like you.
4. I have no idea why you're still on my flist. In fact, I think the only reason I added you was because you added me first and it was the polite thing to do. I skip most of your entries, because they border on pointless.
5. I never quite felt good enough for you. You were a guileless rose to my unpolished thistle, so much finer than I could have ever aspired to be. I honestly felt lucky that you chose to be my friend. I loved you very much, perhaps more so than I ever realized. Since I don't think you're online at all anymore, I hope life is giving you all you deserve and more.
6. I think what made us so close was that we both loved her so much. We were the perfect threesome, and you were one of my first true friends in fandom, and the whole reason I even got to meet her. But between the two of us, there was always something, and I loved you as deeply as I loved her. I know I missed an opportunity to meet you, and I probably will regret that for as long as I live. I miss you.
7. I should feel bad for having on my flist, since I've made fun of you quite a bit behind your back. It's not that you're a bad sort, it's just... you make it too easy.
8. You were really hard to get to know, but I'm so glad you let me in. I think you're so much more than you see yourself as, and your opinion always meant more to me than I let on. It still does, I think, which is why I haven't had the courage to get on y!m and ask how you're doing, because I'm afraid you won't want to talk to me.
9. I've watched you grow up a lot in the length of time that I've known you. At times, I felt I had to walk on eggshells with you, because I didn't want to upset you. But the younger you and the current you are such different people, I almost feel like I should get to know you all over again - and what's more, I want to. I admire so much of what you've let yourself become.
10. You are difficult to describe. I still think you're too self-absorbed, but I accepted that as part of you a long time ago, so it's not something that bothers me anymore. I do think you've finally begun to shake off that drama-loving side that you've clung to for so long, and I think I'll like you a lot better when it's gone.
11. Reading your entries is like seeing a mirror image of what I could've been, if I hadn't made different decisions. You were always very real to me, when so many others on the internet come off as fake. There's a lot that I've wanted to say to you, but always held back, because I didn't feel we'd ever gotten close enough for me to say what I wanted.
12. You are so, so amazingly artistic, and for that, you will always rock hardcore to me. I've never had a bad thought or memory of you.
13. There was I time that I got tired of reading about the Springer episode that was your life, but now I honestly just feel sympathy for you. You've hit a lot of bad spots in life, and nobody deserves some of the low blows you've taken. I'm sorry that I wasn't a better friend when you needed it most.
14. You were always one of my favorite people online, and I really miss your presence in my life. But I also understand how real life can be, and so I'm not mad. I just miss you, and promise to be the first to welcome you when you do come back.
15. You are so, so sweet. In fact, you may be the nicest person I've ever met. I always felt bad when you were online and I stayed invisible just because I didn't feel like talking. You always were great at cheering me up, even if you never knew it. I wish we were still close.
16. You always seemed just a little too preachy to me - like you were trying to be more mature than you really were. It grated on my nerves, actually.
17. I have such great memories of you, which makes me feel even worse that I left just when we were starting to get closest. You've got such a warm heart, and it hurts me that I can feel the distance between us now, even though it's my fault.
18. You're freaking hilarious, and you know it. I always loved your sense of humor and your attitude, and again, I feel like we were just getting close when I disappeared. I know you hate these, but I could never say anything bad about you, and I hope you know that.
19. You always seemed to keep a distance from me, even when I tried to be friendly, and I'm not sure why. But I've always enjoyed your friendship nonetheless.
20. I would still so have hot sex with you, you naughty thing. I keep a bottle of chocolate syrup around just for you, just in case.
21. You have been and continue to be one of my longest online friends, though I think you've written me off after my last long disappearance. Which is fair enough, but I'll always remember your kindness first and foremost, and will always read your posts with great interest.
22. You are so. freaking. cool. How did you get so cool? I was almost afraid to friend you at first, because you were just way too cool for lowly me. And now that I know you better, you're still far awesomer than I can tell you. I'm not even jealous of you, because your awesomeness is just so... you.
23. You are last, because I had to think longest about what I wanted to say about you. And I'm still not sure where I stand. When I first met you, you were so... in-your-face, that I think I pushed away from really getting to know you. Now, I'm not sure what I think of you, because I know you would've been a really great friend, and I know I cheated myself out of getting to know you. So what do I say to you now?
Yeah. Now I'm just kind of depressed.
I do have to brag for a moment though, because I'm really kind of proud of this - I'm down to about 125-130lbs and now wearing a (very loose) size 3/4. Work may be dominating my life, but it's giving me a wickedly awesome body. :P
