Recap/GA/Dream crap/Yuletide

Last night (okay, more like this morning) I had a dream that I was hanging out at vylit's house, but she was trying to get me to go home because John Sheppard was supposed to meet me there. I presume we were dating (???) but she was all you have to go home now, he has a surprise for you. To which I was all, um, what? Okay, the surprise? He was wearing pink underwear under a trenchcoat. I don't know how I knew about the underwear, but a) I think it had RUFFLES and b) .... Anyroad, I went home, opened the door to the flat, and he was there and I immediately woke up, because I prefer not to be scarred for life if it's all the same to you, Vi.

First she screws me over with the rageprufrock-trade and now this!

It's the most wonderful time of the year, children, I mean yuletide. I fucking LOVE me some yuletide! I've done it all three years it's been active, and so far I've written The Usual Suspects, Spider-Man 2, and Grey's Anatomy. There's just something so refreshing about the sheer terror of getting your recepient's request and thinking Oh shit, I don't even know these other two choices. What fandoms are these? What the hell? I am SO fucked! I better make this shit work. It's amazing what you can pull out of your ass when you're that pressed. Plus, one of the best things about yuletide is seeing what else everyone else has done. Where else are you going to get fantabulous stores in Calvin & Hobbes or Four Weddings and a Funeral or Absolutely Fabulous?

This year I've gone ahead and submitted the six fandom I am all about, which I don't really think will be a surprise to anyone: Entourage, GA (I'm hunting for that Callie/Alex or Alex/Addison (actually more on this later), Kitchen Confidential (viva KC), Dead Like Me (RIP), Temeraire, and uh, O11. I know. I am cheap for the president.

This is really just my way of saying if you're thinking of trying ye Ol' Yule Partay I cannot recommend it highly enough.

ETA: NUTS! By virtue of the 1400+ stories on ff.net Grey's isn't considered a rare fandom anymore. Ah, well, elynross said just because they're not writing what you want doesn't make it obscure. But that then begs my question, flist, who the hell is writing Grey's cos I know it's none of you hags!

** I'm going to bust out with the Grey's het this week or the next, because Alex/Addison and Alex/Callie are where it's at. Oh yis. Meanwhile, POLL TIME!

( Please fill out the Grey's Poll underneath this cut, because I know you're procrastinating until it's time to go home anyway, so don't even pretend otherwise. Keep the Faith, Embrace the Alex love, and Clooney for President in 2008! Have a nice day! )

Meet the First Son!

Washington, D.C., White House Press Room -- The President of the United States and the First Gentleman have adopted a child from the great country of California. The five month-old boy, seen here in his first offical press release, a brochure promoting the Toys for Tots charity, is named Cooper Nicholas Clooney after the First Gentleman, and the President's father.

During the press conference to announce the adoption, the President quoted the First Gentleman by saying that the U.S. should take care of its own children before pilfering from other countries. He also went on to say he planned on collecting the $40,000 owed to him by Nicole Kidman and Michelle Pfeiffer for the First Son's college fund.

"Nicole and Michelle thought I'd never make it to 50 without being a dad, but the joke's on them, because I just turned 50," the President said proudly. "If they could pay up sooner rather than later Anderson and I would appreciate it, because college is going to be expensive by the time Nick is ready to go."

While the First Son wasn't at the press conference, attendees were able to hear his cooing from the White House hall and the President had baby spit-up on his Brioni suit. The First Family have requested that instead of sending money and baby presents the public please donate to:

Thank you to whomever bought me the flower, I am very touched
