Does anyone remember this meme going around several months ago, "My fandom is really good at what I do" or "My fandom is really good at my job", or something of the sort? And everyone wrote AU fic where the characters of [FANDOM OF CHOICE] did whatever it is the author's real-life job is, and the point was to just dive right in and do as little '

That Shia LaBoeuf song is just amazing. I don't know why it exists, but it is amazing. I should probably not sing it out loud too much at work, though. (The rest of those things I will need to listen to later, since I'm sitting outside in a heavily-populated area just barely maintaining an aura of respectability.)

IT EXISTS BECAUSE ROB CANTOR IS A GENIUS, AND ONE DAY HE WOKE UP AND SAID, WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW IS LOVE, SWEET LOVE A SONG ABOUT CANNIBAL SHIA LABEOUF, I AM GOING TO DO THE WORLD A SOLID AND MAKE THIS SONG RIGHT NOW. It's just... so perfect, Shia is exactly the right kind of obnoxious to make this song work. ...It's really weird though, I've been playing this song around my housemates and my mom, and no one reacts. It's really confusing, I'm like... do I need to play the song again? Do I need to play it louder? HOW CAN YOU BE BLANDLY AMBIVALENT ABOUT THIS?!

But respectable? Pfff, I will go to the store with wet hair and bleach-stained baggy sweatpants if I want, NO ONE CAN STOP ME.

On the other hand, I used to be very good at inflicting my weirdness on others. I kind of miss that. College sort of ruined that for me, oddly enough (stupid first-year dorm had more back-stabbing people than high school ever did, wtf).

Dar and I just keep quoting it at each other. I'm not sure what I'd do if I met someone who was ambivalent about it. I wonder if it's the speak-singing? That seems to cause some people to just automatically stop paying attention (fortunately, it's one of the things that kind of automatically makes me like a song, or at least express interest). ^_^

Both of these sound like fantastic ideas! ESPECIALLY HULK DESTROYS BIKE SHOP, OMG, I JUST LAUGHED EMBARRASSINGLY LOUDLY FOR AN EMBARRASSING LENGTH OF TIME. Bike shop Avengers, omg yes! Tony can design bikes. STARKCYCLE! And you can give Loki the hipster fixie he so badly wants/needs/deserves!

I might just write Hulk Destroys Bike Shop now. Or on Friday, after I fail to destroy the bike shop myself.

Haha staring into space and giggling is basically my Writing Process. Is it so fucking ridiculous I can't contain myself? Yes? QUICK WRITE IT DOWN.
I AM SO EXCITED FOR HULK DESTROYS BIKE SHOP.

I'm pretty sure that is the best writing process. I wish it worked for things other than what I write for the express purpose of amusing myself (and sometimes others).

See, I guess that's the thing about fanfiction that makes it so addicting; that's all it has to be. Amuses Self Plus Maybe A Few Others: Check! SUCCESS. It doesn't even have to make money or anything!
Clearly, though, you need to manage to get yourself a writing gig where ridiculousness is encouraged. Because you're right, I can't imagine the Does It Make Me Giggle? writing process working very well with your current job. ^_^;;
