Finally, after weeks of staring at my Photoshop and going through quotes, transcripts, and YouTube like a crazy person, I present to you my next top ten list as suggested by empressearwig. To say I got carried away is an understatement. But yay for BFF love!!



( Honorable mentions and favourites BFFs in countdown order )

Spent the early morning in my backyard (re)reading cancanlaughs's Better Together under the sun while listening to my iPod. Hee! And yes, I did it by printingout 54 pages (out of 200+ more) of Candie's story. Then I re-watched Lily and Marshall get back together on my TV while I worked on number five of my BFF list (oh, it'll be EPIC!)

But seriously. Reading Better Together is kind of making me want to pick up my abandoned WIPs.

cancanlaughs is made of awesome, the end!

lapiccolina requested I list a Top 5 Scrubs moments that appeal to me in an artisitic fashion. My first thought was, dude! That's hard! Jason Thompson and Kimberly McCullough are gorgeous gorgeous people, so really, anything and everything they do is pretty pretty. But then as I was flipping through pictures I realized it was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. So without further ado...

It's finally summer here in this part of Canada. I spent practically all afternoon sinking in humidity. It's a high of 27 degrees Celcius here in Toronto and I'm sweltering!

In other news, welcome to the first of many 'listed' posts. For the next little while, it will be my goal to post one every day or every other day for the next little while, so keep the ideas/prompts coming. This *awesomely* combines my love for making lists, counting down items, fanatic fandoms, and art all in one! Today's list was requested by lapiccolina and hopefully enjoyed by all. This specific list is not in ranking order, though my number is is probably really my number one. And empressearwig, I can't seem find a copy of season two in any store! Looks like I'm gonna have to order it off Amazon.

I'm officially caught up with How I Met Your Mother. All four seasons, all commentaries, bloopers, etc. What an awesome show. But I found that by season four, I was finding Ted sort of intolerable. But still loving the various dynamics of the show.

( How I love HIMYM... )

In other news, I've been watching The X-Files season four all weekend. I've forgotten how wickedly awesome of an episode Memento Mori is. It's just... breathtakingly awesome. It's all in their eyes. So many things are not said aloud in that episode, but if you look at Mulder and Scully's expressions, your heart will break a little. And I'm actually quite glad there was no kiss at the end. The lingering forehead kiss is more romantic and fits the episode better.

I need to find myself someone who looks at me the way Mulder looks at Scully.

In the mean time, I'm going to forget that I think I used to have that.

I have listed ten quotes from ten OTPs. Your job is to guess which of my OTPs said the quotes and what shows they are from.

( Quotes under here! )

Comment with up to five things you associate with me, and I'll ramble about them at great and pointless length, possibly with pretty pictures.

Come on. You know you wanna.

Hee! I've been scolded by lapiccolina back into posting. In an attempt to connect to my flist and those that read my LJ, please list three things that you think we have in common and we'll squee/discuss/chat about them post haste.

*Straightens up in anticipation*

Also? Tonight is Gossip Girl/One Tree Hill night. Wanna have an LJ party?

OMG Grey's Anatomy!!! I haven't cried or screeched at this show in years. And I think I'm one of the few who's satisfied with the way things look like they're ending up.

( More thoughts... )

I'm now hooked into Jake/Amanda, but people tell me that CS is leaving and even worse, they're barely on the show as it is! As if this week wasn't bad enough... they weren't even on the majority of the week!! This is what happens folks, on daytime TV, when you fall in love with an awesome chemistry driven fun loving sexy time couple. They're never on. Case in point? Patrick and Robin, the early years.

( AMC spoilers!! )

In other news... Happy May everyone! Welcome to my favourite month ever. Tulips and lilies, sunshine and balloons. I'm hoping this month will be better than the last four. *Crosses fingers*

I didn't think it would happen to me, what, with the way my life was going. But I couldn't sleep the other night and wandered onto YouTube to catch up on what I've missed on All My Children and Amanda, because god knows I never want to take a look at General Hospital ever again (as in, REALLY? A wheelchair down a staircase to foreshadow a stroller?!?!) And yes, I know AMC is responsible for messing up Bianca, misusing Aidan, and ruining Tamara Braun, but I've always liked Amanda and I wanted to see how she was doing.

Who knew I'd find my new OTP. So random, like everything else in my life!



( Jake & Amanda )

Title: A Lesson in Tightropes
Author: sugarpromises
Characters: Maxie Jones, Sam McCaul
Rating: PG 13
Prompt: Teammates.
Summary: "No, I mean, you should have told him you were dying. That would have served him right."
Author's Note: Written for fanfic100. And cancanlaughs who said she would read anything I'd write. I'm sorry darling, but this is the disaster you got stuck with ;)


( It was a bright summer day, a perfect afternoon for milkshakes at Kelly's. No, scratch that, a perfect afternoon for being slouched over a patio table with a milkshake in head, contemplating the many ways to de-limb a boy. )

So, wow. My life is a disaster and I'm not getting any smarter. You think I'm joking, but sadly I am not. I definitely need something to occupy my time, my thoughts and my mental state of mind as my life continues this wonky journey.

So, send me some prompts.

I know this never really works out well or to your advantage but since the state of my well being hangs on me spending time writing, I'm hoping these will get written. There's also a slight change 'Heart of Mine' will be picked up again since it's springtime and I'm in the mood to write emotional tragedy. I also still have like half finished prompts from the past year that have remained untouched, so if you still want those ones, and you remember what they are, feel free to submit that prompt again.

Ps, empressearwig I'm still writing your Everwood one, but I'm stuck so send me another prompt for that to help me along?

I've done a horrible thing!! I got caught up in malls and rains, car rides and music... and I totally forgot! Happy belated birthday empressearwig!! I hope you had a fabulous weekend filled with delicious cake. Your present will appear sometime this week, cross my heart.

At least there's one thing in my life I know can't turn me down. The life of E.R. I mean, yes, the show is boring now and I don't know most of its cast but dude, we're getting down to the big finish. And Carter is back. And I know I must be guaranteed some sort of reward for the sucktastic crappy first two months of 2009.

( Bring the joy back in my life, folks )

In other news, the pre-noms for the SB Fanfiction Awards is set. I have to read some shorts by sometime in March and submit my picks. I love having this job. Yes, I'm calling it a job.

Okay, I'm crawling back into my hole now.

Title: Goodnight Trouble
Author: Rens
Characters: Maxie Jones, Lucky Spencer.
Rating: PG 13
Prompt: Writer's Choice. Popsicles.
Summary: After the party is over, the groom goes home with the maid of honour.
Author's Note: This is categorized under theechochorus, but specifically written for empressearwig because it's her ship and her prompt.


( He's sure love matters to her too; otherwise she wouldn’t be here with him on his wedding night. )

It's odd and strange but I feel like I can't continue the fics I've started until I buy a new notebook and transfer what I've written. That's not weird, right? I mean, it's not just me who thinks about these things, right? Hee.

The way Maxie says, "Where's your baby? Where's Emma?!" send shivers down my spine and makes me wonder if General Hospital can provide a good storyline. Alternatively, I'm also hoping someone will write, have written, or in the process of writing a really good version of it at the SB.

I'm on Gilmore Girls season 5, and couldn't stomach watching Luke and Lorelai get together after a kiss and being friends for so long, all happy and glowy. So, I've skipped immediately to their break-up episode. If that doesn't reflect the state that I'm in, I don't know what will, lol.

Happy New Year everyone. Welcome to the year of the ox.

I'm feeling like crap. Boys are stupid and complicated and confuse my heart into millions of pieces. In other news, I snagged from empressearwig.

Ask me one fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandom specific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general.

Just one question, please, but it can (and perhaps should) have sub-parts.

Question can be as wacky as you want. Ask me about tv shows, characters, fanfic in general, fandom issues/meta, anything about any of my stories specifically. Whatever you want

Happy Holidays everyone! I wish you all the best in the new year.

I finally tore myself away from MSR fic, stayed up late two nights in a row, and have just completed watching Smallville up til episode ten.

And I quote, "Seriously?!"

If you are a watcher of this show and a lover and Chloe and Clark (*cough* lapiccolina and simplytoopretty *cough*) it would be appreciated if I could be supplied with fic that will fix the mess in my brain. Because I was not impressed. I mean, yes, there were great moments but on the whole, I am not impressed. Please and thank you!

In other news, MSR fic still rules my life. Case in point? I just re-read "Arizona Highways" (Here and here.) To say it is too good to be true would be an understatement. Now I'm trying to remember which story it was I read that involved Mulder finding another one of Scully's daughters and him having rings ready in hand so that they could fake being a family for some urgent reason. I don't know why but these Emily-related stories of Mulder and Scully rescuing her daughters always get to me. And they're written so well!

There is a winter warning watch for the city of Toronto. Roughly 20 centimeters of snow. Traffic will be a bitch, of that I am sure of. I'm hoping the morning won't be so bad but I think the snow will start falling at 7 am, just when I leave the house. Maybe I'll get to leave work early? Well, here's hoping.

Ps, I think it's funny whenever I write Maxie-related fics, sometimes it's so easy to substitute Leo for Lucky, Lucky for Matt, Matt for Johnny, that it gets hard to choose which man to use.
