And we all lose our charms in the end

[thorne_scratch]

I have all my windows open because the weather has gone cooler; it's that glorious time of year when I need neither heat nor air conditioning, and the air smells wonderful. However, at night there's some kind of tree frog or creature that makes this low, guttural, throat-rattle sort of croaking that sounds exactly like the noise you hear in horror

Thanks for sharing all this. :D

For your next raccoon, Animal Control probably will come out and do a pick up for you. Not everyone is comfortable picking up the cages and doing the release.

Do you know if Samuel Jackson's tweets are archived somewhere for those of us without Twitter to read?

Dressage....I would have to be there with you to show you what the judges were counting off for. Basically the horse and rider should be in harmony and there shouldn't be any bobbles. It's pretty mind-numbing after awhile, even if you're into it. At that level everyone knows how to dress, but I imagine you could get points taken off for that. GB had an incredible team this year in all the equestrian events.

Sephiroth and Zack, pretending to be married. :D

Nah, I kind of get a kick out of it. I mean, if I'm going to own a house, I might as well handle my own wildlife catch and releasing. Anything bigger than a raccoon though, I'll happily shunt over to someone else.

If you go to his twitter, and just keep scrolling down, it'll populate his older tweets. I don't think all the Olympic ones are archived anywhere, unfortunately, but this article has some of the better ones. You can read other articles about it here, here, and here.

I had no idea what I was even watching with dressage. Usually I would just end up making up backstories for the horses.

Your drabble has gotten kind of long, so it's posted separately right here. Also, I am incapable of writing actual Sephiroth/Zack, so it's kinda gen. Sorry!

You seem to have the wierdest adventures, Thorne. Sometimes I read your fic and think 'Where does she GET this stuff from...?', and then I read your every day posts and I'm like, '...oh, yeah.' Also, racoons don't seem as fun as Disney's Pocahontas would have led me to believe.

Ohhhhh, fanfic.

I pick Zack Fair and cross-dressing, because, well, Zack.

[thorne_scratch]

I can't explain it either. All I can say is that while I have some very weird adventures, the rest of my life is pretty mundane and boring, so it actually averages out to be generally normal. And yeah, raccoons are mean not-so-little fuckers. This all came about because I got tired of them going through my garbage cans and scattering shit everywhere. (It's a lot like this.)

As for meme, I just finished yours, and once again, it's way too long for a comment. I'll post it in just a little while after I check it over.

[milliebee]

Awesome, I'll keep my eyes open for it. :D

Haven't you done every single one of those tropes for FF7 at some point? Alas, I think it's the only fandom we have in common. (Or at any rate, it's the only fandom I remember you writing for that I participate in.)

[thorne_scratch]

Nope! Some tropes just squick me for certain fandoms, and FF7's always been my first love, so I tried not to ruin it. But I'd be willing to give any of these a go if you want to pick one for FF7.

[twigcollins]

I want... aw hell, apocalypse fic. Faramir and an elf of your choosing, Legolas or Haldir or whoever.

[thorne_scratch]

I guess maybe my tags/interests on the side? Huh. In terms of fandoms I do, I guess the list goes... FF7, FF8, Utena, Hockey RPF, Swimming RPF, Brokeback Mountain, Silent Hill, Oz, Hetalia, and... anything I've talked about on the jorunal, basically.
