short leave of absence + apologies for a fic dump which will spam you this evening

[janie_tangerine]

1. Meh, I brought the laptop to the technician and there was some part which sort of was out of place. Which I guess it was the reason it couldn't find the operating system. For now it's working, but to be sure I passed everything into the regular one just to be sure.

2. To honor my new awesome icon, I didn't write J2 porn but nonetheless today I went into a complete writing frenzy. I had two free hours and the pauses between classes and now I have five ficlets and a couple of rough drafts for two which turned out longer. Erm. I'll spam you later for the reason in point 3, sorry in advance.

3. Since on Friday is the first of May and it's vacation and I'm free on Thursday, I caught the occasion and I'll be visiting my friend who came here last summer and lives near Turin. I'm leaving tomorrow night and coming back Sunday night. I therefore won't watch Lost until Monday, reason for which I probably will be MIA for anything Lost concerned. But, since my friend watches Supernatural, I'll probably write a reaction post for that. I will probably answer comments but won't be able to check the FL, so for that I'll probably be half MIA. But I'm really excited to go so yay for long weekends indeed.

4. There are still a couple of songs to guess from last day's meme. ;)

2. Bruce Springsteen: it's a three-way tie and you can see two out of three somewhere in this journal and not in the entries. Actually, one is right in front of your eyes every time I comment. ;)

ETA: one is The Ghost Of Tom Joad guessed by wandersfound, to be updated on the original post tomorrow. Hint for the other two: one is on my default icon actually, two is on Born In The USA, but I like the version on Live 75-85 better. I mean that version actually.
3. The Doors: it's long. And it's not The End. It's on the second record. When The Music's Over, guessed by emiliglia
4. Patti Smith: it's in two parts actually.
12. Smashing Pumpkins: one-word title, it actually sounds half-optimistic even if knowing Billy Corgan it probably isn't, the video was kind of colorful and it's not on Mellon Collie. guessed by emiliglia on the other entry.
13. Stone Temple Pilots: it's a woman's name. It's not Daisy. Atlanta, guessed by emiliglia
14. Guns n' Roses: it's in an eighties record and it's one of the rare occasions where Axl doesn't scream his lungs out. Patience, guessed by emiliglia
15. U2: it's from Joshua Tree. It's not With Or Without You. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, guessed by hopelessfangirl
16. Red Hot Chili Peppers: it's on Californication. It's not that famous either and it has a kind of weird title. This Velvet Glove, guessed by emiliglia
24. Pearl Jam - I'm giving hints for the two I'm still undecided on which one my favorite. The first who guesses one gets it. One: one-word title, on the original record is before a very, very weird song. The title sounds very Victorian. Two: it has a very atmospheric title and it's not on the first two records.
25. Velvet Revolver: it's on Contraband. It's not Fall To Pieces.

5. That'd be all. I'll be in my bunk typing and be back later. And if I don't manage to make a serious entry before tomorrow, I hope everyone who has May 1st free has a good vacation! And that Lost is good, of course.

facevi meglio a scrivere il J2 porn...
ecco, l'ho detto. :P

*hugs*

Me too! I'm also going away for the long weekend so I won't check the FL or watch Lost, either. LOL!

I'll try to read as much as your fic as I can. I posted Stockholm right now because it's Tuesday, and now I'll catch up as much as I can ;)

Also - have lots of fun in Turin! I'm sure it'll be awesome!

I'll keep my fingers crossed that your laptom keeps working!

Ooh, a long weekend out of home, enjoy it and have fun with your friend! :) Lost can wait... even if that is going to be hard ;) But at least you'll have something amazing to do when you come back!

2. The Ghost of Tom Joad? I thought it was this but then I wasn't sure b/c you know more Springsteen songs than I do obv but since you said it's on your journal somewhere...

Have a great holiday and visit with your friend! Is the holiday May Day?

I've book marked your Jack/Juloiet fics to read after Yoga,

3. LA Woman is long, IIRC.
13. Pretty Penny? (This gave me an excuse to dig out my STP CDs.)
14. Oh, is it Patience? (No screaming on that one. LOL.)
16. I can't remember the name of the song... It's like Emit R-Something or Remit E-something... (Oh, dyslexia, you fail me.)

[hopelessfangirl.livejournal.com]

LMAO, I adore your icon. I saw that icon post but haven't had a chance to look through them yet. I'm pretty sure you picked out the best one, though. ;)

My guess for your favourite U2 song: I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For?

Red Hot Chili Peppers - I Like Dirt?

I'm not going to have chance to watch Lost until Sunday night, so I'm being very careful what I read on the f-list (all of whom know better than to do the whole spoiler actually on the cut tag thing, but you never know what some stranger in a community might do!) - I did avoid it altogether for Dead is Dead but then got very behind with it and it took me ages to catch up!

Hope it's a good episode, being the 100th and all, but maybe that's gonna make me build the whole thing up too much?

Enjoy your break!
