[productivity] october one
Today's challenge on itsproductivity was to write a story in five sentences. Mine has MAJOR spoilers for SGA 4x01, so... watch out for that.

I love Rodney so much.

I just re-read all of my July Productivities and...I wrote some okay stuff. A couple of the original things were really, really cute. A couple of the TWW things were decent, and some of the SGA stuff was fun. When I have free time, I might have to go back and try to salvage everything. Especially the story where Lorne breaks Rodney. And the multi-sectioned story about John and Rodney finally coming together, in which I found this little tidbit in a comment:
Re: Zelenka: I love him so much I can't even deal with it. Oh, Radek. I'm going to draw little hearts around your name in my high school year book. Which also has Lorne in it. Because he was my senior prom date.
Guys, I am CRAZY. But Lorne totally should have been my senior prom date. He would have been awesome at it.

I can't stop using this icon. Oh man. I love it so much.

Comment on this entry and I will pick seven of your interests for you to further explain.
a sense of history - I initially had this on because of the Rent fandom. I hated that people always seemed for forget about all the cast members and fans that came after the OBC but before the current B'way (or touring) cast, but, really, I could apply it to anything. I like knowing the history of things and being able to see what series of events alligned to lead me to whereever I am at any given moment. It's entirely possible I'm some sort of hippie.
Ben Vereen - Ben Vereen played, among other roles, the Leading Player in the OBC of Pippin, one of my favourite musicals. He is INCREDIBLE and so talented and AWESOME and I actually saw him sort of in that role at a charity Pippin concert and it was one of the best things ever. I love him very much. Clearly.
lobstersuits in general - This interests is related to tom in a lobstersuit. On Studio 60, Tom Jeter (who is my favourite character) is involved in a skit wherein he wears a lobstersuit. We never learn what this skit is, we just see him in it and it is hilARious. Seriously, I just want to hug him. While writing out my interests, it occured to me that it's not just Tom in a lobstersuit that's awesome, it's lobstersuits in general.
Martin Gero’s rejected jokes - ahahahaha OKAY. I was just thinking about this one. Martin Gero is one of the main writers/a supervising producer on Stargate: Atlantis. We are soulmates. He just doesn't know it. Anyway, in several of the episode commentaries, he references jokes that he wrote into the script that were later rejected because they were "too zany" for Stargate. I generally think that these jokes are hilarious. My favourite is as follows:
"You have a ship? What's it made of, high-fives and wishful thinking?"
(In the actual episode it was "what's it made of, bark?") We apparently have the same sense of humor, because I think all of his jokes are just as funny as he does, even when Joe and David are like, "Martin, you're crazy."
Theodore Roosevelt - Theodore Roosevelt was our twenty-sixth president. He is the youngest president to ever serve (but not the youngest elected president) and he became president via the assassination of William McKinley in 1901. He was the most awesome president ever. Many Republicans hold him up as the ideal because he was, on paper, a Republican, but he was actually ridiculously liberal and would have been laughed out of today's Republican party. If that alone doesn't make you love him, remember that he established more national parks than all of his predecessors combined, busted corrupt trusts, directed the Great White Fleet, and was the first American to be awarded a Nobel Prize (the Nobel Peace Prize, to be exact.). He had a whole bunch of kids who he basically let run wild in the White House and every day at three o'clock he put whatever he was doing on hold so he could go outside and play with his kids. He also had asthma, but didn't let it stop him from being an outdoorsman.
All in all, TR was AWESOME and everyone should love him. The end!
twirling in twirly chairs - I do this all the time. Sometimes I do it until I get dizzy and sick and that pretty much sucks, but I keep doing it anyway. It is fun!
winning the cancellation line - Once, Tara and I went to see Hurly Burly and after waiting on the cancellation line all day, got awesome seats at the last minute. Clearly this means the cancellation line was a game that we won. Clearly.

Bedtime for me, I think.
