fuck off global warming, fuck off and die!
God, it's too hot - I am dying. Right now it is 38°C. I used to know how to convert that into °F for all you people living in backwards-land, but then, I used to have a brain that wasn't liquid. My plan of attack. Print out a selection of fics. Run cool bath. Lie in cool bath, hope some brain functioning returns which allows me to read said fic. Or I'll drink beer, nice cold beer, and that will fix everything. *le sigh*
What I can relate to you is this. I was waiting for a bus yesterday and cursing myself for not bringing a pen with me. I had the damn note books to write in but no frikkin' pen! There was a bunny tapping its foot impatiently. So I wrote this as a draft text message on my phone:
The heatwave rolled on and the air in the nesting box became increasingly stale. The Stig isn't responsible for everything. Sometimes life just doesn't make sense.
Yes. Indeed.
So, hey, audience participation! Two things:
#1. Who lives in a cooler part of the world and wants to swap with me? Or: Who lives in a cooler part of the world and wants me to be there? All you have to do is transport me, house me and feed me! And for that you get: One johnnypurple! Not even that - but the original johnnypurple! I can talk about cheese and squee with you about a variety of subjects. What an offer! Too good to refuse! etc. Call now and received the free stake knives.
#2. I'm thinking of posting my old fics on lj. Partly so that they're all in the one place (ah, adultfanfiction - how you sucked!) and partly to, I dunno, air them or something. Would anyone be interesting in reading that stuff? They're mostly Lord the Rings RPS (I was still am fixated on Billy Boyd and Andy Serkis, but there's also one David Wenham/Billy Boyd in there, are you listening rhosyndu?). There's a LOTR/Narnia crossover, of, frankly, the cutest pairing ever in existence (yes, cuter than Richard/Oliver!) (see if you can guess!). There's, also, um, OH YEAH OMG THE BEST! something weird involving some hot monsters from Yu-Gi-Oh!, one of whom becomes fixated on Andy Serkis (haHA!) which results in angst/hilarity (depending on how you look at it). There's also a Roy Orbison in Cling Film story - which I realise is almost slightly a Mary-Sue (wait- what?) but also features my lad Toby and his alter ego Slasher McTook. ... Ok, also one I just found that I totally don't remember writing. It's a Supernatural Wincesty one and I almost don't believe I wrote it (WTF? I never use the font Courier!) - but I read it then and FUCKITY FUCK, it's unfinished! But I think one or two of you might be interested. But I'd have to not end it like that, because, fuck, I almost can't handle it. OMG, and I see also yet another Supernatural fic that I only vaguely remember writing but I'm sure didn't post anywhere. It's almost like I flirted with the fandom, but that was it. Only flirting. *shrug* So, anyway, should I post 'em? Would you read 'em? Would you get annoyed with the spam in your f'list? ... I was thinking, perhaps, of a once a week thing. To either post a new fic (if I ever finish anything) or an old fic, but at least something, once a week? How does that sound? So, talk to me, peeps. Tell me your thoughts.
