I've had my whole immediate family over for about a week and my life is not my own. It's been a few months since we were all together so we are catching up/hanging out aggressively, and in addition we're going out and meeting extended family. Everybody's pretty fun - the kids are cute and the adults still aren't used to me having opinions and not ( Read more... )

So a little while I accidentally logged out of Dreamwidth as I was blearily scrolling and clicking around, I stared at the little log-in box, and I was too tired to log back in. A few days ago I did the same thing on Livejournal (it's a skill), but that time I managed to log back in! Today I returned to being a real person. It is good to have ( Read more... )

My dashboard currently has its fair share of the movie Les Misérables going around, and it is giving me such torn feelings. I ship Graintaire/Enjolras, because come on, it's so easy to, but I also loathe both characters. They are godawful annoying! (in the book. I haven't seen the movie. Yet?)

Now whenever they come up on my dash - e.g. like this ( Read more... )

Apparently this extract from a My Little Pony comic, from the pre-Friendship is Magic incarnation of MLP, is the funniest thing I've seen all week. I've been laughing about the last panel for way too long. Spike! USE YOUR COMMON SENSE. And the story preceding it is weird, in that fridge horror kind of way that happens sometimes when you read kid ( Read more... )

I got nostalgic and went looking for KHR fic. You know what's hilarious? That I just found out there's more than one of them with "mafia AU" in the summary. Oh, KHR.

Less under the category of "nostalgia" and more "It's about time", I'm rereading Queen of Attolia. I must have been skimming furiously on the first go, because I completely forgot ( minor spoiler )

Read in a book that the name "daisy" means "day's eye" (and the internet further informs me that it's from Old English - dægesage, where dæg is "day" and age "eye"). Possibly it's one of those things that should be creepy to imagine, but I find it's simply too cute to think of the day tucking itself up, getting more and more dozy by degrees as the ( Read more... )

It occurs to me there are several people who I got to know online by going up to them and yelling in their e-faces "HI LET'S BE FRIENDS!" Thank you for responding with style and aplomb, and I'm really glad it worked. Please keep on being you ( Read more... )

HOMESTUCK

just for posterity, I want to note ( Read more... )

First off let me brag. I got lovely fanart for one of my Homestuck fics - Gamzee and Karkat hanging out (SFW, if you don't mind a bare chest), for this (NSFW) fic about what would happen if Gamzee underwent pupation, as a teenaged bug-based alien might.* I keep looking at Karkat's expression, it's perfect. "PUT A SHIRT ON. And don't eat anyone. Oh ( Read more... )

thelovemafia asked about my Avengers feelings. The short version is simply ':D', but the longer response doesn't fit in a comment so it can be a post. Chris, don't actually read all this. ( My thoughts, all in a giant blur )
