herocountry: SCREAMS TOM HARDY THAT IS AN INAPPROPRIATE APPLICATION OF MUSCLE!!!

Things that have happened to me recently:

1) I slammed a soy sauce bottle onto my left ring finger, jamming it against the cabient door, and had hysterical thoughts - in the midst of panic about the swelling and purpling and pain - about amputation. Of course my first thoughts are oh my god, how to type with just nine fingers? I have been trained since young to type properly with all ten fingers. Good news, though - the swelling has gone down and it doesn't look like I will lose a finger! Now you can all be at ease, because I know you were all worried. This is such a vital concern, after all... I told you my life was full of sad accidents.

2) I am writing my help_pakistan fic! It is currently 2000 words of awfulness, but at least that is better than zero words of awfulness? Oh, wait, maybe that's not true... It's okay! I will eventually fling the final product desperately upon my betas and have them fix it up or tell me that I suck and should just quit writing forever. Let's not think about that yet, because I'm not even close to done right now.

3) I have reached a point in Inception fandom where I am bookmarking fics I haven't even read yet because I am so desperately short of time and I'm just working off flist recs now. It's terrible. I can't help that RL is distracting me! What with purple fingers and Friday night karaoke and cooking and scheming to acquire muffin tins (do I really have to buy my own if I can just steal them from someone else?) and, oh, what is this thing called school, and the not-so-guilty pleasure of Smallville fics and the more-guilty pleasure of every Food Network cake/cupcake challenge ever... Anyway! My delicious is now more of a to-read list of Inception fic these days. Rec me things you think are fabulous and are not WsIP! I refuse to bookmark WIP on principle. :( So, cobweb_diamond, that means you just have to finish everything you're writing. And everyone else in the last post who was talking about writing things like high school AUs and pretend boyfriends and Japanese schoolboy AUs. /looks meaningfully at all of you

Speaking of karaoke, I am nosy. Do you go karoake-ing? (Alternatively, noraebang-ing or KTV-ing?) Is there a song you always, always sing? It seems like with my crowd, some staples are I Want It That Way, Bad Romance (lmao I totally rocked this last night and I will have you know that I blew JGL out of the water in terms of singing - but probably not so much in terms of sex appeal and also I cannot play guitar...), Don't Stop Believing, Bohemian Rhapsody, and sometimes Gangster's Paradise, haha. And if my crowd is particularly Asian that night: I Believe (My Sassy Girl), Run to Me (DJ Doc), Sunset Glow (Big Bang), and 童话 (Tong Hua by Guang Liang oh my fucking god kills this song, I hate it sfm).

ETA: OH MY GOD, HAVE SOME EXCITED BLOODY JGL. No, seriously, he was on a bike and he went through a cab's rear window. There is blood. And JGL being boyishly excited about it.

JGL: This is fucking cool! *remembers he's famous* I mean, don't try this at home or nothing--

Crisis in Pakistan

Pakistan is in crisis as the worst disaster in a decade is devastating 20 million people across 70 per cent of the country. With two more weeks remaining in the Monsoon season the situation is expected to worsen in the coming days. The Pakistan Red Crescent Society has over 50,000 local volunteers working around the clock in affected communities. Over the past few weeks they have reached over 30,000 people with emergency supplies and medical assistance.

So I was thinking earlier this week that the disaster relief and aid for Haiti got a lot more widespread attention and promotion than those concerning Pakistan. I thought about why. Then I decided to stop over-analyzing things and just get off my ass (metaphorically...) and do something. So I donated money to the Red Cross.

I also signed up for help_pakistan - my thread is here.
- I'm offering fic of 1000-5000 words.
- Fandoms available include: Super Junior, Hikaru no Go, Prince of Tennis (Seigaku or Hyoutei only), Ouran Host Club, Inception, KAT-TUN (Akame only).
- Most pairings, any rating.

If you're interested, please leave a bid! (Read the comm rules and explanation! You have until August 28 to bid.) If you are uncomfortable with that kind of transaction, please feel free to donate to relief efforts through any of these organizations.
