shake your booty, shorty, i'm the shit!
hi, kids! i am currently flist failing, and i'm truly sorry for missing anything important.
i am all concernicus about my big bang, now that i am at least in my posting month. i've been bored with it, not willing to do what i need to do to make it awesome. only time will tell. struggling to discipline myself on this, but:
+ hail mary is happening.
so, rhythmsextion created a verse that, last year, catapulted beyond any j2 i have ever been engaged with. it is layered, gritty, tough exciting. the attraction is guttural, obsessive, and dangerous. the setting and universe are so disturbingly real: she opens up the highly political and publicized world of nfl football, cracks it open over one knee and lets it rot there on the page. with the latest installment, hail mary, there is an incredible evolution of these characters and such emotional fulfillment that you'll want to start the whole thing all over again. i cannot say enough. it's gorgeous.
read: the qb verse.
read: rhythmsextion's 2010 big bang, hail mary.
and then make sure you tell that girl she's the shit. cause she is.
+ drvsilla's posting day is tomorrow.
guys. *HANDS.* okay, there are two verses in all of j2 au that really make me drop everything. like, literally, the second it hits the internet, i'm in it's face. one is joy's qb verse, and the other is dru's pbr verse. i think it's because both verses harness an incredible sense of how difficult it can be for two men, in that Good Ole Boys setting, to be together. therefore it is fucking BRUTALLY PAINFUL AND AWESOME to read.
there is also the depth with which dru will take us into the world of pbr. like joy with the nfl, dru's got not only an intimate knowledge of the sport, but an unparalleled ability to create a truly atmospheric world from it. something you can smell and feel and get involved with. i don't care what happens; i'm so in love with anything that happens in this verse that it doesn't matter. it's just a treat to read, something that will never let me down. good writing is good writing.
i cannot wait!
can't imagine anyone's ever skipped these, but:
read into his hand (2008 big bang).
read seeing daylight (2009 big bang).
+ classy_lawyers is back to ruin my life.
HAHA my love/hate for this rpg, homfg. i do not even KNOW. either way, i am obsessed with it and ITCHING to read. as such, i have put a pretty firm handle on myself to refrain from reading any of it until after my posting date (july 28). hopefully by then there will be plenty to catch up on; it'll be a reward for getting my shit done.
things that are the shit:
+ my nephew, jacob.
your good vibes are working, people. tests are coming back normal, he is stable! i haven't heard much else on his progress yet but things are looking good! put some ensure in that kid, damnit!
+ the new steel train album.
i've yapped about steel train before but i just got their new album two days ago and have not stopped listening to it. everything about it is better than trampoline, and trampoline was awesome. they're a band that so far has not gotten more watered down the more albums they make, but instead are tailoring a really fun, unique sound. plus jack antonoff is INCREDIBLE live. they are on tour right now. cheap show. go see them. you'll lose your mind.
download: steel train. it's all awesome. every fucking frenzied second of it.
for karabou -- they have an album called twilight tales from the prairies of the sun, which is a little more country/97s-sounding; so download it.
+ butch cassidy & the sundance kid.
i saw this for the first time last weekend and loved it. those two are the original bromance, and i am so into it. robert redford is a dreamboat, also. gimme that.
+ netflix.
in general, netflix is taking over my life. have watched a truly absurd amount of movies and documentaries in the last two weeks -- most of which were extremely enjoyable! but! spending twelve hours in bed watching old movies on 'watch instantly' is not at all productive.
+ my coworker.
yall i have a super-insane crush on my coworker. he's thirty, he's gorgeous, and a runner, and like 6'3. he gets deep and personal on me about wanting to be a better person, and wanting to see the world, and wanting a dream to fulfill. he calls me meesh for no reason, from no one's prompting, which is adorable. he brings up random things i also love, i.e. bill hicks, hot dogs, northern lights, earl nightingale, bruce springsteen's "secret garden."
and the kicker, a direct quote: "i just want a girl who's going to be my best friend. someone who i can just share a look with, and laugh, not even needing words." omfg work crushes are awesome!
things that are not the shit:
+ my big bang.
i'm hating. sigh. sorry for whining about this a ton. i just wish i was still excited about it. there's still so much work to do, and i have been putting it off, putting it off, putting it off. i have major guilt over it. hopefully i'll be able to bolster some willpower and get it a little more presentable than it currently is. ugh. AFOREMENTIONED AWESOME DISTRACTIONS ARE MAKING IT V. HARD TO STAY ON TASK.
+ (temporary) music meme fail.
very disappointed to report that music meme is on hold, most likely until after july 28th. there's just too much i want to do with it, and i really cannot be having more excuses to not be doing big bang rewrites. rest assured there are MEGA PLANS for some huge posts. i am glad a bunch of you are enjoying with them. i don't have anyone irl to talk music with :(
