thoughts like birds on the wing circle higher yet plunge into the depths
It's been an interesting weekend. Taxes are nearly done for federal (I owe $3) and I must also do them for state. I also have three challenge fics due in two weeks, omg meep, and have to write those. Also I have my ff_exchange assignment, which is shiny like crazy but I can't decide! I have three brilliant prompts and I...oh...SO HARD TO CHOOSE. I just. I can't make up my mind. (This is an awesome quandary to be in, like the last round of het_challenge when I read fanaticalone's requests and had no idea what I was writing until three days before deadline, just because all the prompts were so awesomely bunnyful.)
In non-fanfic related news! I did spend tonight playing Exalted (Melzer's Rathess chron). For a good ten minutes before game, we laughed hysterically at the names of the charms in The Scroll of the Monk, which arrived today. Fun game time, learned from Blue Guy! Replace any one word in any Exalted Charm name with "wang" or "pants." Really. Examples follow. (herod_the_nut points out that any verb in a charm name can be replaced with the word "bang" and it will be equally entertaining.)
Capability-Enhancing Potion Meditation
Attractive Floor-Greasing Posture
Where is Doom Inquisition
Slippery Escape Method
Drunken Monk Loses His Sash/Finds His Sandal
Two-Fisted Merrymaker
Full-Stroked Ramming Kick*
Terrible Sail-Rending Assault
The Dragon Dies In Bed
Laugh at the Enemy's Aim
Foolish Inattentiveness**
Vindictive Concubine's Pillow Book Understanding
(The martial arts tree Joscelaine should have known includes such Charms as Kiss of the Whip, Sensuous Torment, Brand of Obedience, Insatiable Slave Stamina, and Rapture in Chains.)
*This killed us for a good few minutes. We just couldn't breathe from laughing.
**Best charm name ever? Maybe! "I just want to say I have Foolish Inattentiveness."--herod_the_nut
Anyway, yes, I am easily amused, but Exalted pleases me.
