my moral standing is lying down

Dear Santa,

I think my requests were pretty broad, but I just thought I'd clarify that I'm absolutely fine with (and also enjoy reading) all kinks; nothing squicks me except mpreg. Also, I'm not very good at being specific, so if you'd like for me to clarify anything further in my requests, please feel free to ask a question anonymously here (I have IP tracking turned on in general, but really I swear I'm not going to try to figure out who you are or anything; I'd much rather be surprised anyway).

Most importantly, THANK YOU BB! <3

Cheers!

I just signed up for ds_c6d_bigbang. I'm feeling a bit faint over the 20k-word minimum.

akamine_chan says they are low-pressure on dropping out. AND I QUOTE, "No blame, no recriminations, no punishment." THIS MAY BE THE ONLY THING THAT KEEPS ME GOING? Wait, that makes no sense. But it is the only thing that is making me feel comfortable enough to try.

THIS? IS WHY I LOVE C6D FANDOM.


(Also, I must admit that I was FOR SRS ridiculously swayed by endcredits' sexy banner, WTH!)

Aahahah, now if you could just come up with some interesting ideas, self.

from akamine_chan: ( Top five tattoos you'd love to get! (Which happens to be one of my TOP FIVE favorite subjects OMG!) )


OH MY GOD, I intended to put the answers for RayK's tattoos in here too, but this turned out to be a little longer than I thought and ALSO I STARTED WRITING THE ANSWERS FOR RAYK AND REALIZED HOW MUCH I LOVE HIM! I only have two written out, but OMG, he's sooooo sweeeeeeet and thoughtful even when he doesn't really think of himself that way! \RayK/

Okay, so that will be next!

\Aka/ You ask great questions!

ETA: OMG, I changed tenses so many times in #3, PLEASE FORGIVE ME GODS OF GRAMMAR! I GOT A BIT OVER-EXCITED!

So sad to have missed week 1 as Pilot and Free Willy are two of my favorite episodes! But I was SO GLAD to have experienced week 2! Fun times beyond belief! IT IS SO VERY UNFORTUNATE, THEN, that I will be in Chicago next weekend and unable to participate in week 3. /o\

Notes to self:

• Find someone to make an icon of Boxer!Fraser from Diefenbaker's Day Off. Hmmm, OH LET ME THINK WHO DO I KNOW THAT MAKES AWESOME ICONS?
  
• Think very hard about [Fraser + energy drink + stuck in a snow-bound cabin = nonstop Inuit stories with no off-button and possibly ear-bleeding!Ray(s)?] plot bunny. Also, hope that Aka and/or Helens posts something having to do with said plot bunny.
  
• Dancing/moshing-punk!RayK emoticon is silly and very, very scary. Especially when you were not expecting such a thing.

So. Rangers lost that game on Sunday and out of the playoffs. Not surprised, but still disappointed. It was a freaking intense game that went to shootout. I'm extremely sad about the Rangers' season being at an end; it's the first time we haven't been in the playoffs since the lockout, though really that doesn't say a whole lot because we've been pretty steadily mediocre.

Shockingly, SHELLEY put in the one goal that we had. And the fourth line was again the best line, as they had been for the last 5 or so games. So, we'll see what happens with the roster in the off-season. I'd like for us to hold onto Christensen, Prust, Prospal, and Auld; and drop Olli and Redden. Stop laughing about dropping Redden, I said I'd like for it to happen, not that I expect it to.

In any case, I reconnected with Rich randomly when he commented on my facebook status and as a result of some coincidences I AM GOING TO THE DEVILS V. FLYERS PLAYOFFS LAUNCH GAME TOMORROW NIGHT! Of course, it's not the Rangers so I'll be disappointed in the outcome no matter what, but whatever. Live. Playoff. Hockey. It's all good. Besides, I'm rooting for the Blackhawks this year, so whatever.

In other news, I ACTUALLY WROTE SOMETHING! Well, co-wrote. And it was accidental comment-drabble fic, BUT WHATEVER. I've been trying to get myself to write for C6D fandom for a while now -- I haven't written for fandom in YEARS AND YEARS -- and I made a one or two really pathetic, hesitant starts that were quickly dropped out of disinterest. But something idreamedmusic said in a comment yesterday had my Fraser up and talking and unable to shut up. Well, you know, like Fraser is prone to do. SO, YAY FUN TIMES. \o/

Will there be more Fraser/Ray/Lew fun? Hopefully! <3 I should also rewatch Californication season 2. Because one can never have too much Lew.

Watched HCL with Liz on Sunday night. She liked it a lot. Which made me very, very happy. After the movie, we watched some fanvids and interviews and things like that, I told her some of the stuff I know about CKR and HD from listening to the DVD commentary and reading HCRS, and eventually that sort of trailed off... at which point, she said something that made the stupid lightbulb go off above my head.

Why I've been unable to stop watching this movie over and over.

I mean, I'm not the type to watch something over after just having seen it. And I usually wait a while before watching something over again. Especially with movies: I'm not the biggest fan of the visual medium (as opposed to books, that is). But with this movie... I just can't get enough of it.

She said, "I want to watch something else like it."

And yeah, we agreed, there's just nothing else that has the same feeling. Sure, there are movies that will have the feel of this part, or the same maneuvering, or subtext, or emotion, as that part -- but nothing I've seen comes together the way this movie does.

And the ending.

The ending is what I look for in every movie I watch, or book I read, or story I hear. Something unsurprising -- as in, it's completely in character, so it makes complete and utter sense that it would happen -- but also completely unexpected. Didn't know it would happen at that moment, and whoa, the ending has just rushed up to you, out of nowhere, in your face. It lifted you way up, like a geyser, and left you cartoonishly hanging in the air, mouth agape and wondering in panic if you'll be able to come down without hurting yourself.

But the best thing about this movie is that you never come down. You're just forever at that point of inhalation, holding your breath; never letting it go.

It's just perfect.

I wonder if anyone has ever done a (decent) due South/Queer as Folk crossover?

Chicago and Pittsburgh aren't that far away from each other...



Also, C/K: Speranza. YES. THANK YOU. =D
