this post is filled with irrelevant things!

Things!

- IT IS MY BELOVED WIFEY'S BIRTHDAY TODAY. HAPPIEST OF BIRTHDAYS TO nightengale. I love youuuu. ♥♥ I hope your celebration with friends was filled with warmth and happiness and feeling.

- The beach has made me very tan. SPF50 is obviously not enough. SPF90, why did my parents take you away from me? How cruel. Encroaching skin cancer, I do not want you! Though I plan on dying young anyway (25, in 2012; hopefully after the new Star Trek movie comes out).

Some pictures have been up on Facebook here (friends-locked because I am a paranoid privacy whore when it comes to FB), but maybe I will post some here later, after the trip is over.

- I have played so much mahjong today ahhh and have totally adopted a family's friend tiny son as my little brother because he is adorable and precious and, whatever, his IRL big sister is never around and not exactly his BFF (they are 13 years apart). He is like a little cousin or godbrother or something to me, I don't know how these labells work, but he is seven and at his future wedding I will be there and wax dramatic about how I've known him all his life. Or not, seeing as I plan I dying in 2012 but HEY, IT'S THE PRINCIPLE OF THE SENTIMENT.

- I still have not watched the last episode of Sherlock, but I plan to soon! More importantly: Sherlock's been renewed for a second season! Hurrah, entertain us more, BBC. I approve of your fast-paced British actors running about solving mysteries and having homoerotic undertones, regardless of what your creators may protest.

- I also have Rock N Rolla ready for viewing. No strong feelings about Gerard Butler but I do want to see Tom Hardy as Handsome Bob. I will get around to his (and JGL's) other films eventually, too.

- Speaking of movies: This Means War out in 2011, currently in pre-production, featuring Chris Pine and Tom Hardy and Reese Witherspoon in a romantic comedy about spies! I AM EXPLODING IN ANTICIPATION OKAY.

- Do no want to think about the RL I must face in a week, heading back to STL to pack and move and prep for the fall semester. This semester will be wretched busy with classes and work and Note editing and MPRE-studying (fucking ethics, how do they work) and form-filling (to hash out visas and applications and things I will need for my spring exchange to Singapore!!!).

- On that note, with such a busy fall semester awaiting me, WHY AM I THINKING ABOUT SIGNING UP FOR THE INCEPTION BIG BANG. STOP ME, FLIST. But I am so tempted... :(

- Okay, part of the temptation is that the Inception cast is so cute AND I STILL WANT FILTHY RPS PLEASE. Though if I wrote for the BB, it would be for the movie, not the actors. Still, let me lodge my demands for fic.

- I will make another Inception fic rec post soon! It may also contain Kradam recs because, you know. Love.

- Also, I finally got around to reading and finishing The White Road by Lynn Flewelling (otterdance) and I enjoyed it much more than Shadows Return! But mostly it makes me crave the first two books of the series, and also it brings home just how spoiled I've been by fic and how explicit it is when it comes to relationships. Seregil and Alec don't have graphic sex? What? My world is rearranged with shock. Oh my standards are entirely skewed nowadays. Still, yay for the book, and I guess the series is continuing. I am also excited for Lorna Freeman's The Flames of Reckoning, though that will be ages before it's complete, much less out for public consumption. :(

- HAESICA. ♥♥♥ Cutest ever! (Thank you, lovely thundersquall!)

This week has obviously filled me with a great affection for exclamation points. :3

there was clear homoeroticism. whatever, Moffat.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

ikr, shut up homophobic producers. "Oh other people might think they're gay and haha yeah we're cool with that, we are so progressive, BUT WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE VERY CLEAR THAT THEY ARE ***NOT*** GAY. NOT AT ALL. We can't even leave it ambiguous, we must explicitly announce how not gay they are. Just so you know." Ugh.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Oooh yes I know about the importance of re-application, did not know that it doesn't matter if you go past SPF30, hmm. Good to know!

Oooh Merlin. Nothing is as blatantly gay as Merlin (which is deliberately homoerotic, so say the producers anyway), but I remember watching it and going "...that's not gay at all!" probably because I'd been spoiled by too much kpop touching and explicit fic. orz But it is one of the gayest shows out there, more so than Sherlock or whatever. BUT THAT'S NOT IMPORTANT, BC SHERLOCK IS FUN AND MYSTERIOUS, HURRAH!

(Cliffhanger in ep 3? DDDD: Must watch!)

[meiface.livejournal.com]

AHHHH MERLIN AU FIC IS SOME OF MY FAVORITE. Particularly modern AUs. I've only recently been trying to keep up bookmarking what I've read, but I have my Merlin AU recs here (http://delicious.com/meiface/fandom:merlin+au). :D Working on adding more to this, but so distracted by Inception fandom and how freaking prolific it is...

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Oooh I remember reading that last year during my brief foray into Merlin fandom and how I utterly failed to bookmark anything then. /bookmarks now :D

Also, of course, Drastically Redefining Protocol (http://archiveofourown.org/series/211) by rageprufrock if you haven't already read it! Famous.

INCEPTION

BIG

BANG

:OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo


also I'M SO EXCITED FOR 'THIS MEANS WAR' IT'S GOING TO BE LIKE THE BEST MOVIE EVER :((((( i get so paranoid about things i like i will die if it gets dropped or the actors switch again or something alskdhgalsieg

saw your pictures, how cute are you!!! also you made me officially like tom hardy better than jgl. though my attraction to jgl was never like, ~innate~

[meiface.livejournal.com]

HELLO HONEYCAKES I WANT TO EAT YOU UP ♥

Talk me out of Inception BB, seriously. B-but all the prompts. MONTHS TO WRITE> ONLY 15K. I'm so tempted. D:

YES IDC IF 'THIS MEANS WAR' IS PREDICTABLY TRASHY; I WILL WATCH IT AND ENJOY THE SHIT OUT OF IT ANYWAY. I just hope they don't change the casting of the main 3 leads...

Hehe, JGL is amazing and I want to smush his face but I think my crush is on Arthur, not JGL himself. IDK. But Tom Hardy just makes me, you know. Proverbially hard.

[herocountry.livejournal.com]

>3<

OOOH WHAT PROMPTS OOOOOOOH WE SHOULD DISCUSS THIS!!! did i tell you how much i love robert? I REALLY LOVE ROBERT.

GOD RIGHT. like if either guy gets replaced I. WILL. DIE. reese i am okay with, as long as they trade up (rachel mcadams? :D??? carey mulligan??? sigh so unlikely) and not down (katherine heigl or anything like that....)

YEAH like i think i have an amazing crush on JGL the actor and all his characters, but i really feel like JGL the person is probably too pretentious for me. or something. ALSO I THINK TOM HARDY IS THE ONLY ACTOR I HAVE A VISCERAL SEXUAL ATTRACTION TO WTF :T :T :T :T

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Well inception_bang has a prompt post up just in case authors want an idea to work with, though obviously they are not obligated to take them and use them. IDK SOME OF THEM ARE INSPIRING.

Do you love Robert or is it really that you live Cillian Murphy? I KNOW YOU.

LOL, JGL as a person is such a fucking hipster OMG WHERE ARE ALL THE RPS FICS. Kinkmeme had this amaaaaazing promppt I want to see filled so badly: Joe teaches Tom had to be a fucking hipster and Tom teaches Joe how to take douchey MySpace pictures. saldgkhslfjl WANT.

Mmmm Tom Hardy. :9

[herocountry.livejournal.com]

I AM READING PROMPTS AND I THINK YOU SHOULD DO THIS!!! or at least tell me which prompts you are interested in

SOBS I DON'T KNOW ;O; i'm still confused by not finding cillian creepy anymore @____@

if you want it so bad........... WHY DON'T YOU WRITE IT!!!! 8) jgl really is, omfg :\\\

[meiface.livejournal.com]

I WANT TO HAVE SEX WITH TOM HARDY'S VOICE. I CANNOT WRITE RPS BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW THEM AT ALLLLL but I will read for them, fufufu.

Ummm there were a few Arthur/Eames prompts I was inspired by, but idk IDK I WILL THINK ABOUT IT. I CAN TWEAK SOME OF THEM ANYWAY. ughh writing. :( Maybe it will all come easier once school starts and I have no time whatsoever. BECAUSE THAT IS HOW MY LIFE WORKS. CREATIVITY AT THE MOST INOPPORTUNE TIMES.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

P.S. CILLIAN'S IRISH ACCENT IS SOFT AND CHARMING 8D

[papered.livejournal.com]

I LIKE HOW YOU COO OVER AND RANDOMLY ADOPT LITTLE KIDS. :33

[meiface.livejournal.com]

WELL. I AM PREDICTABLE, I GUESS. :D

[papered.livejournal.com]

BABYICON!!!!

[meiface.livejournal.com]

KITTEN ICON!!!

[papered.livejournal.com]

.... OH THAT'S SO CUUUUTE ;_____________;

[forochel.livejournal.com]

RESIST THE BIG BANG.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

YOU SHOULD SIGN UP WITH ME. You could write gen or anything you wanted! :D

[forochel.livejournal.com]

I am not good with commitment. Or, um, being interested in a fandom long enough to stick it out for the entire big bang period.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Oh this is true... well I have an obsessive personality so likely I will still be in the fandom (I go into my fandoms for long stretches! It is the periods after I'm done with a fandom that leave me lonely and adrift). But this does go all semester; posting's not even 'til January, omg I will be in Singapore alsdkghfj. WELL.

[forochel.livejournal.com]

skdjgks well, um, it's down to your good judgement? haha. mei i'm trying to write a fill (an arthur/eames fill!) would you mind taking a look at what I've written so far?

[meiface.livejournal.com]

Sure! I'm online, just let me go un-invisible really quick.

[papered.livejournal.com]

AND OH YEAH I HAVE TO WATCH INCEPTION SOMETIME

[meiface.livejournal.com]

YES DO. MOSTLY SO THEN I CAN REC YOU FIC, HOHOHO.

[papered.livejournal.com]

I NEED TO DOWNLOAD IT AT SOME POINT HMMM

[lust-and-envy.livejournal.com]

You....haven't heard about the porn stories that Lynn's putting out in a chapbook, have you?

[meiface.livejournal.com]

I honestly have no idea what a chapbook is. :( I don't follow her LJ, obviously, despite knowing it. Sort of weirds me out, idk. BUT TELL ME MORE ABOUT THIS PORNY CHAPBOOK.

[lust-and-envy.livejournal.com]

More details on her LJ actually.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

haha that is where I went right after. All I've managed to gather is that there will be a foreward and short stories and illustrations! I must dig further for mentions of porn, I guess, and how we can get our hands on the chapbook. :D Thanks for the heads up though!

[delocalised.livejournal.com]

SPF90. I'M SORRY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO SAY.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

WHAT ABOUT SPF90, MA BELLE CHERIE?

[delocalised.livejournal.com]

I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT EXISTED. D: YOU MUST HAVE SKIN LIKE PORCELAIN, DUDE.

i'm stupid, a lot of the time i sunbathe without ANY SUN CREAM AT ALL.

[meiface.livejournal.com]

hahaha there's SPF that goes up to 100, I'm pretty sure and I am nowhere near that pale. I'm pretty freaking tan. I just slather on the sunscreen because I get D: about all those reports of skin cancer and sun damage and shit. IDEK. I AM LIKE AN OLD WOMAN ABOUT THESE THINGS.

[delocalised.livejournal.com]

LOL YOU. :') ♥ i'm the sort of person who is like TANTANTANMUSTTAN but then i see a patch of skin and i'm like, IS IT CANCER /freaks out. i'm like a ghost if i don't tan, it's very ugly. ):

[meiface.livejournal.com]

I WILL POST SOME BEACHY PICTURES SOONISH. And you can see (I think) that I am not that pale. Or hell I forgot you can just go look on FB. 8D

You, on the other hand, are quite pale from what I see on FB.

[delocalised.livejournal.com]

YAYYY, IT'LL BE GOOD TO SEE YOU ENJOYING YOURSELF. (: although, yes, i can do that /forgets these things.

THE THING IS, THE LATEST PHOTOS OF ME ON FB ARE OF ME WITH A TAN. ;~;

[meiface.livejournal.com]

I just typed up a giant Inception fic rec post, god. HOW IS CRIKA, YOU MUST KEEP ME IN TOUCH WITH FB. Inception wants to eat my soul and make me sign up for its big bang.

[delocalised.livejournal.com]

I WILL BE CHECKING THAT OUT MOMENTARILY. i've spent all day looking at inception macros/reading kink meme fills, fmllll.

[delocalised.livejournal.com]

[meiface.livejournal.com]

OMG IKER CASILLAS FUCK YEAH. I actually screamed in joy at the tv and everyone else at the house (family friends lol) all stared at me funny and were like "who's even playing?" and oh my god is it complicated to explain club football in Chinese... "No, it's not the countries playing, but Madrid is technically a Spanish club, but that doesn't mean all its players are Spanish... Nevermind-- OMG IKER \o/"

[delocalised.livejournal.com]

lmfao, omg, bless. ♥ i know a ton of people who still don't get the difference between clubs and nts and we're supposed to be the country that invented the bloody game. :L he's just amazing, always. ALTHOUGH PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING THAT HIS HAIR IS THINNING. ;~;

[meiface.livejournal.com]
