Ah, the first of January.

The holidays are now officially over, and now it's time to regain some shelf space and organize my room. And other things. (I've already cut down on user pics so I have a chunk of empty spaces and organized my tags. Am I productive and using my time wisely, or what?)

The To-Do List is:

-organize and weed shelf of personal papers.

-clean out backpack that still hasn't been emptied since I got back from France

-weed my bookshelves so I once again have shelf space

-balance checkbook

-decide what to delete off my external harddrive (Stargates, your days are numbered.)

-put away photots (I have eight packets that need to be put away, non of which are room my trip to France.)

-write thank-you notes.

So, it's the perfect time for.......

A game of cliff, shag, or marry!

(Where you give me three people and I pick who I'd shag, who I'd marry, and who I'd push off a cliff.)

AND/OR

Meta Meme!

Comment here and ask me ANYTHING about any fandom I'm involved in/have been involved in. Controversial or innocent (what do I REALLY think about the missing Miss Kitty Fantastico), silly or serious, ask and you'll get my honest opinion on the subject (to the best of my knowledge/a
bility).

....Because I never say 'no' to shirtless Zuko.

So, I have a new fandom, which means, new fic should be written and I just am realizing that the last two (only two, only one of which has been posted) have involved Zuko angsting. Which was fun and all, but Avatar is a big, big sandbox, and I'd like to play around in places besides Zuko's head (other parts of Zuko are up for grabs).

(Sort-of gacked from [profile] hireadd.)

You! Pick 2 (two) characters from Avatar, 1 (one) place, and 1 (one) object, and lo, THERE WILL BE FIC. It may be fic that is only a sentence long, but it will be fic.

Merry Christmas, and to all a good night!

I had a fantastic day, and totally scored with presents.

And now that I have my computer and wi-fi (oh, glorious wi-fi! *snuggles*) and am in the same time-zone as the majority of my flist (or at least a hell of a lot closer than I was) it's time for a meme I've been wanting to do for awhile.

Give me a fandom, character, and one word prompt, and I'll write you exactly one sentence (unless the muse bludgeons me) inspired by that word starring that character.

If you had me under your command and could make me write anything, what would you love to see me write? I'm not actually going to write any of these (unless something strikes me), but I am curious. (Not required, obviously, but "why" would be nice.)

Can someone explain to me why when I want stand under soothing, heated water, mulling over meta and getting my hair clean and legs nicely shaven, there is no hot water, ever. Never have I taken so many cold showers as in Paris. (What's really galling is CEA made a big deal about how his apartment complex has 4 huge water heaters - you'll never not have hot water!)

Yet when I have five minutes before I rush out the door, there's enough hot water that when I accidentally lean against the pipes, I get a 1st degree burn?

I'm currently sitting on the stairwell waiting for Avatar to download (fucking no, it should take 16 minutes, not 4+ hours).

Anyone up for a game of cliff, shag, or marry?

 gacked from [personal profile] meganbmoore, because these questions are new and interesting!

Choose a fandom and I will tell you:

1. The character most likely to fall in love with the wrong person
2. The character whom I'm embarrassed to admit I adore
3. The character that would send me screaming in the opposite direction IRL despite being fascinating in fiction.
4. The character with the most annoying personality quirks
5. The character I most admire and why
6. The character with the worst temper
7. The character most likely to fail at everything
8. The pairings I prefer in canon
9. The pairings I prefer in fanon (I rarely go for fanon pairings but maybe I'll answer if you ask specifically?)
10. The character with the most personal growth in canon

So, is anyone else totally annoyed with what livejournal did with the customize journal section? It's fucking confusing and now I can't find the style I was going to switch my journal into. Thanks a whole hell of a lot.

(It probably doesn't help my mood that I had my midterm  review meeting where CEA tried to talk me out of having a problem with things that are problems.)

So, now, to change the tone:

I realized on Saturday that in the single month I've been in France, I have (unwillingly) given my computer, the poor ill-used Angelina, the same amount of scratches that I had in the two YEARS since I first got her, as well as dented her wi-fi terminal (luckily unused, since I have built in wi-fi) and dropped her on the hardwood floor. (Which was one of those horrible accidents that happen when you take care putting your computer in you backpack, but fail to put backpack in the exact center of the bed, and are forced to watch from across the room when it flipped off. Goddamn water bottle.)  

Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea culpa. 

God, I wish I know of some kind of computer spa to reward her with when I get back, and/or a way to take scratches off of the casing.

Comment with any ship from a fandom you know I like or am familiar with. I will then go on about said ship for at least one hundred words. Perhaps more! Feel free to comment with ships I like, ships I hate, or ships where my opinion is neutral or unknown. I'll be honest and relatively diplomatic about all of them, with a bit of added flail for the OTPs.

That "fandoms as lovers" meme gacked from [profile] carrielh.

The one who seduced you and fucked you over and broke your heart in a million pieces and laughed about it: Buffy

The old flame you don't see very often any more but whom you still really enjoy getting together with for a few drinks and maybe a pleasant nostalgic romp in the sheets: Angel.

The mysterious dark gothy one whom you used to sit up with talking until 3 a.m. at weird coffeehouses and with whom you were quite smitten until you realized he really was fucking crazy: Veronica Mars.

The one you spent a whole weekend in bed with and who drank up all your liquor, and whom you'd still really like to fuck again although you're relieved he doesn't actually live in town: Death Note.

The steady: Saiyuki.

The alluring stranger whom you've flirted with at parties but have never gotten really serious with: The OC.

The one you hang out with and have vague fantasies about maybe having a thing with but ultimately you're just good buddies 'cause the friendship is there but the chemistry ain't: Heroes

The one your friends keep introducing you to and who seems like a hell of a cool guy except it's never really gone anywhere: SG-1

The one who's slept with all your friends, and you keep looking at him and thinking, "Him? How the hell did he land all these cool babes?": Stargate: Atlantis.

The one your friend has fallen for like a ton of bricks and whom she keeps babbling to you about on the phone for hours, and you'd be happy for her except you just know it's going to end badly: Supernatural. I'm a fan of that show, but not the way most of the people on my flist are. And actually, I'm happy about the upcoming female reoccurings. I've been wishing for them since Season 1.

The ones you repeatedly cheat on your steady with: Firefly, Doctor Who, Bones, Fullmetal Alchemist.

I'm posting a meme, because I really would like to talk about fun, fandom-y things, and I'm two inches away from writing a CAPLSOCK OF DOOM post about how frustrated I am with being sick, the internets, not being able to dowload the latest Bones or Heroes, and the fact that I have a presentation/essay in a week, and my 'partner' for said presentation has said nothing to me about it. (And yes, I could bring it up first, but I am not this boy's mother, and if I'm going to wind up doing everything myself - which you know I would be, not matter what - I'm going to spare myself the annoyence of having to breath the same air he does.)

After yesterday's post of gloom, it's time to make my journal a happy journal again. Plus, no bad mood can stand up to the wonderful deluge of Hakkai x Yaone I've been gifted with recently. *tips beret to pzb*

So some super-special-awesome news: I made reservations for a hostel in Marseilles. *deep breath* I can't wait. I'm going to be going to and then a little town called Cassis that's utterly gorgeous.

Also, it's time for a squee meme.

Give me a subject, and for at least 50 words, I'll talk about how much I love it.

(Just please don't give me a subject you know I loath beyond all telling because I don't think I can kill the sarcasme voice for 50 whole words.)

And by Christmas, I mean January. Or possibly later.

On Monday I fly out, (I think I'm a little in denial) and will have about 24 hours in airports and planes during which I have to amuse myself.

So, I'd love some prompts of things to write while I'm waiting. However, be warned, you will most likely not see any results from this until January, when I once again have free time. (Not to say I wouldn't be on lj and writing fic for three months, because I'm addicted and will undoubtedly be popping in and out, but just that I doubt I'll have much time to transfer things from longhand to typed up and postable.)

And with that list of addendums and codicilsout of the way:

Give me a fandom/character/prompt, please, and I'll write fic.
