Random things that make me happy:
-Danny Mahealani exists in TW and marguerite_26 recced some lovely Danny/Stiles fics, which prompted me to go on a Danny/Stiles bender last night and therefore find Buoyancy by ethrosdemonforreal which made me grin like a little kid for hours, because Danny. He is scripted in this fic as the easy-going, roll-with-punches, level-headed, genius and sweetheart I see in the show. Special love for how fleshed out and wonderful the author made his family. I had an Easy A moment while reading this fic, that is, extreme jealousy over a fictional, functional family unit. Love love love.
-starpanties exists and has been trying to distract me from the headache inducing hectic awfulness that is my job this week by feeding me Us as Hipsters art (link forthcoming)
-MELARTY
-lousy_science sent me Lindy West on trolls, which was hilarious, heartbreaking, uplifting and insightful. Which is a lot for one 11 minute vid (deals with internet harassment and fat shaming)
-Katie Makkai's poetry slam "Pretty" floors me every time I watch it.
-I think I've seen all the Gangnam Style parodies now and I've got some sweet new dance moves to bust out next time I hit the clubs (this brings us up to 6 dance moves! A 50% increase in Style AND Flow!)
-The Klingon Style video led me to discover Comediva and I have been enjoying the shit out of the BAMF Girls Club. Hermione, Katniss, Lizbeth, Michonne, Buffy and Bella star in a Reality TV show a-la-Big-Brother. Amanda Troop's Hermione is easily my favourite, but Katniss and Michonne have a warrior-badass bond that's a lot of fun to watch.
-My Bejewelled ap (shut up) has a bonus game called Diamond Mine and I get really geekily excited about how the rocks get harder to destroy the further down you "dig". I am a giant fucking nerd, she says, surprising absolutely no one.
-I think essays are going to continue being a thing. I have a lot of ideas and things to talk about and lack the creative spark to communicate them with any subtlety through fiction, so... there will be (more) ranting. Head's up?
-I have another beta notes post mostly ready, only I also have more stuff to beta which could potentially be added to post, so I am hovering in indecision. It is very sexy indecision because I chew my bottom lip and my eyelid is swollen due to some as-of-yet unknown allergy so it looks like I am giving the bedroom eyes to gdocs. That saucy minx. All collaboratively editable with easy touchscreen formatting options for when I'm too lazy to sit at a desktop. Oh yes, I will work with you, gdocs. I will work you SO HARD and then invite my friends in so they can play too. And you'll love it, gdocs. Oh, yeah. Rawr.
-I have an interview next week to begin volunteering for a local youth shelter that has one of the most amazing support and outreach models I have ever seen. I am really, really excited to be a part of this.
-It is fall, which means I get to wear my awesome, comfy sweaters again. Yesterday I wore my grey plaid jacket over a fleecy over a sweater over a blouse over a cammy. I was gloriously insulated and practically invulnerable beneath my many layers of comfort and warmth. I love layers. And bouncing off walls.
-COMPLETELY UNRELATED, the new coffee at work is delicious. >.>
