Since you're gone my empty arms have nothing left to hold

1. So today I was running from office to office at university just to get to the office I needed after it closed. Five minutes before. Among all that, I sprained my ankle. :/// the quote I used in the title: I feel in the same situation exactly. Dear karma, after the last two weeks I hope the good comeuppance is immense.

2. That said, memes galore!

First, the color one everyone is doing:

you are paleturquoise #AFEEEE

Your dominant hues are green and blue. You're smart and you know it, and want to use your power to help people and relate to others. Even though you tend to battle with yourself, you solve other people's conflicts well. Your saturation level is low - You stay out of stressful situations and advise others to do the same. You may not be the go-to person when something really needs done, but you know never to blow things out of proportion. Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything.

the spacefem.com html color quiz

This is strangely and creepily accurate. Especially about the not blowing things out of proportion. Even if my real favorite color would be at the opposite end of the specter..

3. Theeen, meme from ozmissage and angeldylan628!

Reply with "Fuck yes fierce ladies (and awesome dudes, too)" and I'll give you four fandoms. Write about your favorite character from each fandom.

They gave me respectively: ASOIAF, vampire porn, SPN and Chuck, and GOT (which I consider ASOIAF since thanks to chickenpox meds I still haven't seen the show - this is getting ridiculous and I'm starting sometime in the next couple days, dammit), SPN, vampire porn and Lost. Since I was given the same fandoms in three out of four cases (SPN, Vampire Diaries and ASOIAF), for those three I gave you my two favorite characters instead of just one. ;) Re ASOIAF: the white gaps mid sentences are all spoilers, most of them mild enough, but I figured that instead of beating around the bush I'd just white them out and specify the book so whoever read it can highlight and whoever hasn't can just skip forward.

( Lost (which will surprise everyone, I'm sure) )

( Chuck (likewise) )

( Supernatural )

( Vampire <strike>porn</strike> Diaries )

( ASOIAF/GOT )

.... why do I write essays about fictional characters? This post is already insanely long. X__X

4. I'll now go either crashing or meditating on a last line that is keeping me from posting a D/C fic that I've had ready for a month but that I can't end in a way that I like. Hopefully I'll post it tomorrow? I should, at some point before S7 starts. Along with a couple other things I managed to finish on the trip back. Hopefully I'll also manage to study some and get back to university to check that other office that was closed today, but the way things are, I'm half-willing to bet that they'll tell me I should have gone somewhere else altogether.

1) Lost finale was one year ago. Maybe I'll make another post later. But for now:



GO FORTH AND DO THIS.

2) Ask me my fannish Top Five [whatevers]. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! And I will answer them all in a new post.

^ because I'm a meme sheep.

/telegraphic since I'm in class

ETA: 3) Dean and Castiel are in the finals of that favorite romantic couple on tv poll so GO VOTE FOR IT PRETTY PLEASE.

Or: nothing in this post is related to Ally McBeal, but having an icon quoting Richard Fish is a good enough reason to do it. This entry will be mostly random linkage for random stuff but apparently this is the weekend I need to link things.

1) For Lost fandom people: me and toestastegood are deciding whether (and how) to run the luau at lostsquee this summer, so could you please vote in this poll so we can have an idea of the interest? Thanks! :D

2) For Dean/Cas people: vote for Dean/Castiel in that favorite romantic couple on TV poll! ;) If you haven't done that already, of course. I think it's a pretty safe win but this morning it kinda wasn't, so I'll just put it out there.

3) For SPN people needing some uplifting after the finale, here are two excellent codas (I should rec fic more often, I should).

a) In the garden by blue_fjords (Castiel, Joshua, mild Dean/Cas). A conversation in a garden, one year after the events of 6x22. which is absolutely lovely and has amazing imagery and I just love everything about it.
b) Redemption by epicycles (Dean/Cas-ish, also has Sam and Bobby). Coda to the episode, no further summary provided. Also, it's totally what I decided happens in 7x01 until that episode happens and canon proves me wrong. It's short but totally happy-providing.

4) For SPN people liking Balthazar: there's a Balthazar centric fanworks exchange at spn_balthazar. I signed up even if I totally shouldn't have because I barely have time for the rest, but the minimum is 1000 words and it should be fun. Also more Balthazar is never a bad thing so I figured I'd link this too. There's time until June 1st to sign up.

5) Misha Collins, I don't know how you can look so gorgeous while driving a chariot with a mule in Brazil, but I love your face.

6) For Misha people: sneak peek from Divine The Series which I'm sure everyone has seen up to now but I need to link it, too. Also: I totally and absolutely do -not- find priest attire sexy, or anything church-religion related sexy, but dammit Misha you're making me change my mind.



7) For everyone, because after spending yesterday's afternoon pondering over how half of the Kill Bill V2 lines fit the SPN finale in a very creepily accurate way, 100 of the views of this video on YT are probably mine, get the Kill Bill V2 almost-final scene. No scene where what happens in this happens has the right to be so damned gorgeous and to make me ship them like nothing else, but seriously.



Aaand that's the linkage for today. I realize that 6/7 are totally gratuitous fangirling, but hey, why not.

OMG OMG! hopelessfangirl and invisiblelove ARE MADE OF AWESOME AND THEY'RE GENIUSES AND THEY ACTUALLY MADE A LOST/SPN OTP COMMUNITY. Which is like AWESOME. And it has the most beautiful header ever. And IT HAS A BANNER WITH THE SMOKE MONSTER AND A DEMON SHAKING HANDS.

Which is not the one I'm going to use tho, because there's one which is actually dedicated to yours truly and I totally squeed like a madwoman when I saw it. XD


Join spnlost_otp! // Friending Meme

THAT'S A FUTURE!CAS/NIRVANA!JACK BANNER. It's THE MOST AMAZING THING and I apparently can't stop capslocking. So anyway whoever watches both Lost and SPN GO JOIN NOW because it's awesome and they totally put up an absolutely pretty comm, apart from the awesomeness of the subject.

God now this makes me want to write more Nirvana!Jack/future!Cas, wtf. XD

Okay, now I'll be off watching the vporn BUT OMG THAT IS AWESOME. ^^^^ JOIN! ^^^^

1. First thing, HAAAI new friends from the lostsquee friending meme! And also the SPN ones that I made in other ways. ;) I hope you will have a good time here! <3

2. Lost speaking, if you're in Lost fandom, the most awesome haldoor is hosting a Lost love meme ♥ which totally made my morning/day/afternoon and is just as awesome as usual, so go play if you haven't already! ♥ And I'm so excited for the luau starting tomorrow. :D [to people not here for Lost: next month will be full of Lost related stuff. Skip it if needed. ;)]

3. I seriously, seriously hope that no one reading this will ever be in a position that implies having to read Heidegger talking about Medieval philosophy. Way to unite my two worse nightmares. Also, that exam will be the death of me but I just need to think that after that it's another two and they're easy. Though damn, I wish I had taken this in the first year.

4. Anyway, on to more cheering things. Uh. That long-ass fic I wrote for spn_j2_bigbang? It... uh. It generated spontaneous art. Which is also freaking gorgeous. I swear when _izu_ linked that to me I stared for a while being like no, I made it up in my head. WHAT. It never happens that people draw something because they like shit I write. It might have totally done my day yesterday. Now I feel like I should make myself an account on DA just to thank them personally because really.

5. That said, I promised wandersfound that I'd upload some Stone Temple Pilots for her so there it is under the cut. Two records and random songs, all on mediafire because it was more convenient for me but I can put them somewhere else if needed.

( music here. Quite a lot. )

6. Right now, I should be writing that pedagogy thing. Clearly I'm not doing that but I'll try to stop procrastinating after posting this. Whyyy do I even need to take that, whyy. /quits whining

7. Also, Misha Collins will be at jus in bello again next year! :D Guess who is going to get herself an early, early birthday present when they sell photo ops? *cough*

8. Aaand okay, this is probably all for now. Will try to write my pedagogy presentation while trying not to fall asleep over it and thinking it's for my own good. *repeats mantra*

This is totally stolen off elliotsmelliot's book, and everything will be in a post because I'm leaving tomorrow and coming back Sat. and the finale is on Sunday and I wanted it out before the finale anyway. Since I didn't have too much time (studyiiing dammit I hate you) I went with my five overall favorites since the run of the show and ten moments for each. Which means that I had to cut people I ♥ and that, er, apparently all my favorites are men, but if I have time to do a b-side, you'll get at least Frank & Danielle, too.

ANYWAY. ON TO THE MAIN FIVE. With visual stuff, too, even though it's not exactly picspams.

Which are... *drum rolls, though they're kind of frankly obvious*

( number five, or: my favorite fictional bass player ever, not to mention most difficult character to write dialog for ever, and damn if I don't miss him so fucking much. )

( number four, or: quite hot accent, A BLUE SHIRT, the right amount of crazy and time traveling shenanigans. )

( number three, or: I know that he's in the top three of probably just one or two other people, BUT DAMMIT, I'M ON HIS TEAM and I stopped fighting it long ago. Also, he's fucking iconic. )

( number two, or: the one of my two favorites who actually managed to last six seasons, hot accent #2, all the angst that appeals to me and well, damn, comes with bonus tank tops, magical fixing skills and is smarter than you. Also, kills you with his feet. )

( number one, or: MY FUCKING CONSTANT. )

Phew. Oh God. Doing this felt great but now I'm all ;______________; because it makes me realize how actually close to the end we are. *clings to everyone*

Because I need to be in class in ten minutes and I don't have time, BUT. I need to get this out.

( damn you crossover show )

When you see this, quote LOST in your journal.

- Have you been using that wacky paste stuff that made me see my sister get eaten?

*

- I'm all messed up inside... you know it.
- This is our best chance.
- There is no chance... really. I mean, look where we are.
- I'm not going to let you give up
- I know you made a promise, but I'm letting you off the hook. Let me go, Jack.

*

- Well, maybe we're just not cool with you setting up your own little Patriot Act.
- He's a liberal.

*

- Do they teach you how to predict the weather at a box company?

*

- Guys... where are we?

*

- Locke? Guy's a freak of nature, highly disturbed. Chances are he probably killed all his mates at the Post Office the day his mum forgot to put a cookie in his lunch tin.

*

- I wouldn't worry, Love. I mean, you tell me, who'd you rather meet in a dark alley? Whatever's out there or that geezer with his *four hundred* knives? I mean, who packs four hundred knives? Personally, I can only have space for two hundred, *three* hundred at most.

*

- You know what I think, Ali? I think you've never actually tortured anybody in your life.
- Unfortunately for us both, you're wrong.

*

Kate: What is it?
Claire: Somebody's in there.
Sayid: Everyone in there's dead.
Jack: Sawyer.
Sawyer: Right behind ya, jackass

*

Yeah, well "Him" says even though Pippi Longstockings and the damn Grape Ape are ideal candidates for the Dirty Dozen, I'm just gonna say we might wanna bring along the Red Beret!

*

As long as the dead guy says there's a good reason, I guess everything's just peachy.

*

- I love you, Penny. I've always loved you. I'm so sorry. I love you!
- I love you too.
- I don't know where I am, but…
- I'll find you, Des.
- I promise
- No matter what...
- I'll come back to you.
- I won't give up.
- I promise. I love you.

*

- Dude that beer has been sitting there since before Rocky III, maybe even II. It's probably poison by now.
- Skeletor seems to like it. Bottoms up!
- That's not cool dude. That guy had a mom, a family, friends, oh and a name. It's not Skeletor, it's Roger Workman.
- It's Work Man ya blockhead! That's his job! He was a Dharma janitor.
- Yeah well, you should still respect the dead.

*

- What's your problem, Jumbotron?
- Shut up, red... neck... man!
- Touché.

*

It should be obvious that I do favoritisms. Duh.

Anyway, happy Lost day everyone! See you all tomorrow morning, hoping that the premiere delivers. ;) <3

First thing before the bullet points, happy extremely late birthday to marylou_gr! Sorry but on your day I was knee-deep in studying and since I actually did the exam I didn't have time to do an entry. :/ I hope you had an awesome day!! <3 And if you want to prompt me with anything I'll see what I can do.

1. I PASSED THE DAMNED MEDIEVAL PHILOSOPHY THING. \o/ I didn't exactly ace it but I wasn't wanting to ace it. I just wanted to pass it and I got a decent grade out of that too so totally not complaining here. I can't believe I'm done with it, ohgod. I don't even care that I need to do another three before I'm done with this term. I can bask in the feeling of being done for another couple days at least, lol.

2. ( Wherein I rec Nick Hornby's last book, Jordan Zevon's record, more or less, and A Single Man, more or less. )

4. Memes to pass the time! This from gottalovev.

Comment and I'll pick three of your fandoms and post the answers to your journal and so on and so forth. I got Lost, SPN and Watchmen.

( answers! )

5. The icon meme redux because hopelessfangirl tagged me again but I'm not re-doing it as a whole. ;)



( blathering, again. )

6. Blah, I wrote a lot less for the lostsquee fic battle than I'd have liked, but the last week I basically buried myself in St. Thomas. I'd have rather written fic, but I did chunk out at least seven ficlets so I guess I'll be satisfied with that. And I'll finish the two I had started and didn't manage to finish asap.

7. Lost is back in three days for me, YAY!!! Damn you all Americans/Canadians who get it in two, lol. But it's kind of fun that now I'll get to see it on Wednesday which was the usual day for everyone else. Anyway. I'm hopeful and confident that this season will be better than S5, mostly because a) doing better than S5 can't be too hard and b) ( SPOILERS ). Even if damn, I don't know if I'm ready for it to be the last season but whatever, for now I won't let it creep up on me.

8. Okay, this has probably got too long already so I'll cut it here and, uh, either go writing or collapse to bed with some book. Damn, I should have gone slower with Nick Hornby and make it last at least two days, I just realized I don't have anything light or relaxing at hand. Ah well, I'll see. *waves*
