FIRST OFF, HOW ANNOYING IS THIS NEW FACEBOOK/TWITTER CONNECT/CROSSPOSTING OPTION. TURN IT OFF AND MAKE IT GO AWAY, LJ. I do not want to make angry faces every time I post a comment or live in fear that I might accidentally post something to Facebook (oh dear god) when I, in a habit culled from 5+ years of using LJ, hit tab+enter after typing my comment in order to post. Make this option diaf, LJ!
In less angry news! I started classes today, right? I'm in the 8AM Evidence, which sounds terrible but I'm a morning person, so it's okay (though I do need my thermos of coffee in order to function). I just-- I am so privately entertained in that class because so much of what we're discussing right now is deduction and how to make inferences from little details or facts, and extrapolate in a logical manner to how they might be relevant to the trial or crime. So in my head, I think we're all playing Sherlock Holmes. "Elementary, my dear Watson," says my brain. (It's not so elementary in real life, sadly, especially because there are so many possibilities, typically, with each little piece of evidence.) Still, much amusement.
Today I also posted fic. It is Arthur/Eames, an AU based off this music video. It's for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
2naonh3_cl2, because she is sneaky like a ninja and sly like a fox and I end up agreeing to things I never meant to. :(
Here are my extra-meta notes on the fic:
Tomorrow (or another day!) I will post meta. It will mostly be long, incoherent ramblings because that is what I do. All the great meta and analogies lie at the feet of people better with words than me, such asbookshop (who gets fanworks for her meta, seriously, that's how good it is) and, um, everyone else in Inception fandom... God, never have I been in a fandom this thinky and amazing. Is there something in the water?
Exceptcherrybina, 
who agrees with me that we'll leave the thoughtfulness to other people and harp about the porn instead. Or, y'know, JGL's naked ass. Oh glorious internet, provider of naked men, thank you. (I am too lazy to re-find the pictures of Tom Hardy's naked ass but, you know, try any Google search and they'll pop up. He's not exactly full of shame about his body - and he has no reason to be!)
I was also thinking of making a "favorites" tag on Delicious now that I have, oh, five gazillion things bookmarked there. Or possibly revamping my fic masterlist, which is oh god so ugly and overdue a rehaul. But mostly I am lazy so I think I will go back to reading Holmes and, after that, Christie. Or just leap around my apartment like so:
The US Open is on! National teams have gathered in preparation of Euro 2012 Qualifers! Argentina-Spain friendly on the 7th and England...plays also. At some point. You'll notice how I care significantly less. If it weren't for you, Stevie... I AM EXCITED, ESPAÑA

2naonh3_cl2, because she is sneaky like a ninja and sly like a fox and I end up agreeing to things I never meant to. :(Here are my extra-meta notes on the fic:
- I am handwaving the lack of bulletproof glass because there is none in the MV and also in Hollywood movies, so there. Arthur can totally climb over the counter if need be! Nothing gets in the way of true love.
- I considered making Eames wear gloves (to, you know, not leave fingerprints all over the crime scene), but I am too atttached to the idea of their fingers brushing and skin touching. And isn't it handy that I can also dismiss the unrealistic detail because it's a dream? I love this fandom.
- Then a thought struck me: do banks even have break rooms?
- I originally had Arthur leaving the bank at the end of his break to call Eames from outside, on a bench. I haven't been to NYC often or long enough to figure out if there were benches near big banks so I turned to Google Maps street view... (Intensive research, I said!) I then spent 10 minutes looking at the 317 banks in NYC, jesus. Then I went back to the fic and decided he could stand and make the phone call instead.
- Now let's talk about how long I spent trying to figure out how much money Eames would be asking for. I originally did a Google search for "average bank robbery amount" and turned up with $10,000. Sarah said it was too low! So I went to go figure out how much money weighed and how much Eames could realistically carry without looking like he was robbing a bank and, much math later, I decided $200,000 in twenties was all right. Came out to around 22lbs. And it's a fair respectable amount of money for a robbery, yeah? Let's just not question me about it.
- I hate coming up with last names because I always worry they won't sound diverse enough or they will sound like I'm trying too hard. (Spoiler: I am.) :( Stole "Eimiller" from an article I was reading. "Esther Kim" is something of a private joke.

no subject
I mean, fine, there's an opt-out button, but I still want them to remove the ugly icons from every comment box. I have ended up on My Account settings so many times since just last night because I keep hitting tab+enter after my comment alskdghf. >:(

Wow, Argentina-Spain friendly! Excitement!
What is this crosspost — oh, I see it. Bugger. That's annoying.
no subject
Isn't it awful? :( Hope LJ addresses it soon; I'm pretty sure 99% of LJ very much does not want to crosspost their posts (or comments, wtf??) to FB or Twitter.
no subject
you've got the script that hides that thingy, right?
no subject
well, I have managed to work around it so I will not kill things. so yay!
no subject
\o/ have they changed it around, though? I see there's a fb option under "from", now, or has that always been there?
no subject
The FB "From" option was added w/ the initial change, I'm pretty sure. But it's the "repost" thing that most are upset about.
no subject
why should I want to post my lj comments on fb or twitter? and if I want that I can still do it the old way.. copy paste...

Now I want RPS where Tom invites Joe over, and when Joe gets there he finds Tom working out. NAKED. And Joe is like WTF MAN, and Tom is all like, sorry, I just need to feel ~at one with my body~ and then just talks to Joe like nothing is happening. And Joe is standing there in his little sweater vest and shiny loafers, trying to hide his erection and staring at Tom's ass.
