Bits and bobs
Good morning, LJ! I have coffee and my dressing gown, and I don't have to start work for like two and a half hours. Let's get some shit done.
First: I require love.
THE FANFICTION LOVE MEME
Go ooooon. I have to go to work all day and sell stupid clothes, give me something lovely to come home to! (I'll beg if that's your kinda thing...)
Next! The new Kink Meme (I'm sorry, it will always be the 'new' kink meme to me, even sixty-three years from now) has opened its loving embrace to fics that are not Brad/Nate, so you should go check that out. Two of the fabulous ladies of we_pimpin have compiled lists of all the Ray-inclusive prompts, and you can see those here and here. But prompts are not fics! You should go fill those prompts and bring joy to the world.
Speaking of filling prompts, I wrote a drabble for the drabble party over here. It's Brad/Ray, and it is pretty silly, but there you go.
And then I did a couple of question memes, because everyone likes answering questions about themselves because it makes them feel like they're famous and are being interviewed by Rolling Stone (...just me?)
schlicky asked me:
1) What is your favorite kind of cookie? Or, if you don't like cookies (WHUT), what is your favorite dessert?
There is a cookie chain called Mrs Fields here in Australia, and their cookie sare freaking HEAVENLY. They're not baked hard, they're still all soft and gooey, and oh my god, the white and milk chocolate chip ones are amaaaaazing.
2) You have a choice - PJ or ASkars - who do you do body shots off of?
Arrgh. Here's the thing - I am more desperately in love with PJ, but when it comes to pure, brain-free carnal desire, I tend to fantasise more about ASkars. So if my answer can't be 'both', can it be 'ASkars while PJ watches?'
3) You're stuck listening to one song on repeat forever. Which one is it?
HMMMMMMM. This is really hard! Probably something by The Smashing Pumpkins or The Cure. Maybe Thru the Eyes of a Ruby or Porcelina of the Vast Oceans by the Pumpkins.
4) Aside from writing/reading, what's one of your hobbies?
I have to have a hobby other than reading? No one told me that! Haha, no, I collect teapots. I guess that isn't exactly a HOBBY, but there you have it.
5) White or red wine?
Depends on the season. In summer I like to drink white (especially desert wines, because I have no class) and in winter I love drinking merlot.
And also, timeofnoreply ask me these:
1. What's something that most people don't know about you?
Hmm. I think the different people in my life know different things about me... most people in my day-to-day life don't know I was a stripper for a few years. Most people on the internet don't know that I look almost ten years younger than I am - I'm 28 this year, but I can easily pass for a teenager.
2. Your favorite Ninja Turtle, and don't tell me you don't have one.
Of course I have one, and of course it's Raphael. He was emo before the world even knew what the word MEANT, and I loved him.
3. Is there anything you are spectacularly bad at doing? I mean, like, absolute epic failure.
I can't sing. I seriously, honestly, cannot sing. I sound AWFUL. Like, the comically bad movie character embarrassing themself onstage awful. Problem is, I LOVE music and singing, and do it all the time. I have discovered the joys of car-singing, though! I can warble as loud as I like and no one can hear me!
4. Do you have any phobias?
Clowns clowns clowns. It's really cliched, but there yoiu have it. My stupid mother let me watch It with her at a really young, impressionable age, and then there was Killer Klowns from Outer Space (shuttup) and that one about the serial killer who escapes from a mental asylum and dresses up as a clown to lure in kids to murder. Ugh, ugggggh, they are awful.
5. If you could go on a road trip with any fictional character, who would it be and where would you go?
Right at the moment, I am pretty in love with Arya Stark (in a completely non-romantic, bros on the road, not-creepy way, jeez), and I reckon she'd be awesome to road-trip with. She's tough, funny, and doesn't take any guff from anyone. Yes, she's 11 years old, but whatevs, whatevs. If that's too young for proper roadtrip shenanigans (although it doesn't stop her from fucking a whole bunch of people up in the books), than I'll go for her big brother, Jon Snow. And yes, I do want to have sex with him. As for where we'd go... I'd take them on a trip up to the Gold Coast in Queensland. Because the Starks could use some sunshine.
And now I've messed around on here for long enough and need to go shower and so on. I owe replies to comments. I'm getting there! I will never abandon you again, my lovelies. <3
