Today is a training meeting at work. At 9:30. No matter when I leave - early or late - I seem to get to work at 9:15.
g_efimovich is coming over tonight to hang out before she picks her folks up at the airport, and we need time to watch Out to Sea, dangit!
So I asked the brother to get me up before he left for work - he opens today, for her has a John Legend concert tonight - and, dang if I wasn't WIDE AWAKE 20 minutes before he got up...
So, I've been at work for 20 minutes and I've written the birthday drabble for
tinman100 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY
tinman100!! - and, while pondering the proper header, the brain went *poof*
Hence this post.
To spare the f-list the Tin Man jabbering:
Tin Man vs 1776*
*the movie, nothing more
Because this is the crap Steve comes up with...
Tin Men = the North <--because they're wide-eyed optimists. Fighting for the common man. Down with oppression! and taxes
Longcoats = the South <--they like the royal structure and fear change and yadda yadda
Wyatt Cain = John Adams <--Please! The man has an ego the size of Texas, adores his wife and has a son who follows in his footsteps.
Adora Cain = Abigail Adams <--the wife. Keeps the man in check we assume
Jeb Cain = John Quincy, we covered thisThomas Jefferson <--he does all the work, Cain gets all the credit
DG = John Hancock <--she has a stick, he has a flyswatter. Stuck in the middle of a debate of "I'm right and you're wrong" and really has no control over anything
Glitch = Lyman Hall <--he's here with no pre-conceived notions, able to choose his own way. Too bad he doesn't know which way is his...
Raw = Caesar Rodney <--listen to him, or he will KICK. YOUR. ASS.
Ahamo = New Jersey <--no one knows where he is, but he'll show up at the last minute to save the day. And he's about as tall as Rev. Witherspoon
the Queen = New York <--she has no clue what's happening, really. Best to just sit back and let the chips fall as they may. Courteously.
the Mystic Man = Benjamin Franklin <--he doesn't have anything better to do than to go around quoting himself
DeMilo = New Brunswick <--drinking and whoring. Need I go on?
Zero = Edward Rutledge <--he sees no problem in chaining people up. And he has a pimp coat that doesn't look like drapery, thank GOD!
unpossessed!Az = North Carolina <--she respectfully yields to South Carolina Or not.
possessed!Az = South Carolina <--*points to North Carolina*
whats-his-name and Lenore = John Dickinson <--they stay to the back. That way, if the Zone should go under, they'll still remain afloat. [Honestly, this was DeMilo originally. Then it was Airofday... they were originally Connecticut, waiting for Virginiasomeone outside the Resistance to make their move... I'm running out of wit, here people...]
Airofday = the flies and the heat <--both are annoying and make life miserable. [yes.. this is called GRASPING, campers...]
the Realm of the Unwanted = Maryland <--they don't care, either way
the Eclipse = the egg <--will it be Americanshiny or will it be Englanddark?
Oh, Richard Henry Lee... where to put you?...... Serious-LEE
What/who else have I forgotten?
*facepalm* Tutor... [4pm]
Lonot = Judge Wilson [Thursday pm]
Wow... a whole year and I just NOW realize I've been spelling "Airofday" wrong. Not to mention saying it wrong... *facepalm*
And twothree pimpings:
1.
icarus_chained is made of WIN.
No, really. She sold Alfred (of Batman) and Glitch (of Tin Man).
2.
americanfairy made a Tin Man video.
Go. Watch. NOW.
3. the
characteraday family is growing. Even if you aren't hanging out at
characteraday, check out the new comm:
itcouldjustbe. Something's going on here, but "it could just be..."
Okay, that was four. You'll live. Or not.
Wow... it took an HOUR to make this post... o.O [posted entry @ 9:04]
EDIT: LMAO! I totally forgot we covered this
already. *drinks*
