Ye ole bitchery

1. Today something occurs that I haven't cared about it a very very long time. In fact, if serialkarma hadn't reminded me it was occurring I would've forgotten all over again, even though I told myself I had to see it to believe it. What is this auspicious occasion you ask? The premiere of The O.C.. And why am I watching it? Well, if you haven't seen the spoilers I won't tell you, but dude, if it's promising what it says it is? Well, who knows. People without fandoms are prone to backsliding into old relationships.

2. amberlynne loves me. You all wish you had an amberlynne, but this one is all mine and if you try to poach her I will stab you in the hand with a fork. Try me. I've done it before.

3. Snow Patrol fans, prepare for a huge deluge. You notice I haven't even said anything about [edited by attorneys for hackthis]– but I am very interested in the Gary/Lisa Hannigan song written by the guy from BellX1. Anybody got that?

4. Today is the last day to sign up for yuletide if you are so inclined. People who haven't participated in The Ol'Yule before, and hell, those who have too, I recommend a little refresher course offered by liviapenn on Recipient etiquette and How Not to Be an Ungrateful Tool, err, How Not to Ruin Yuletide. Because really, bitching that your writer didn’t write the story you requested exactly the way you wanted, and woe how they suck, because it's not exactly what you wanted is pretty much the height of crass rudeness, and I guarantee that when you are roasting in hell, no one will even spit on you to put out the fire. It's called a 'request' not a commandment. Be happy that person attempted at all. If it's not what you wanted, then hey, maybe you should have WRITTEN IT YOUR DAMN SELF. Furthermore, people will check your LJ to see how you respond, so, uh trashing the person who wrote for you later, like they probably won't find out? Wow, tacky and rude.

That is all. Carry on.

You are the one who had me hunting for Republic stuff in the first place, you and that awesomecakes that are the Chasing Sheppard soundtrack. I went back to re-read the story, decided I needed to re-enjoy the entire OST experience and then it was all -- hey, you never answered my question about how one can be down to read your NaNo story? *sulks* You are holding out me and not sharing the goodness. Boo.

Dude. I JUST started it yesterday! (And technically, I'm already behind, because I only have about 400 words, and should have closer to 1700.) I have added you to the filter, so if I post anything, you'll see it, but there's really nothing there yet. :\

Oh, well, that's okay then. What? I'm a Slod fangirl, I confess this freely. *goes off to write SGA pron*

I've got a BellX1 cover which is incredible -covering Justin Timberlake. Rather like Damien Rice (and with good reason - used to be in the same band). You may already have it if you're on Audiography.

I have it, yis, and also the Damien version of 'Volcano' and the Bellx1 version, which you know, they really are quite great aren't they?

Daaaaaaaaaaw! *loves*

I just bought the AOL Sessions EP from iTunes on Tuesday but it didn't download and now I have to wait for Apple to fix it. *pouts* I am totally geeked about a better version of the "You Will You Will blah blah whatever" cover.

We shall see what we shall see. Gary and I, you know, we're having a time out.

[amberlynne.livejournal.com]

Oh no. What did he do now? Heh.

I know I fucked myself on jbbs and yuletide both this year. Should be good times.

I'm excited about Teh Ole Yule, I chose some stuff that never would've occured to me but the minute I saw it I knew I had to have it.

In regards to The O.C., I am as excited as a little kid on Christmas Eve. We had a very ugly breakup at the beginning of the third season, but then...well, then they killed Marissa Cooper. And that was a love letter from Josh Schwartz to me.

From all the reviews I've been reading, the first four episodes are actually on par with the relationships that were established in season 1, and even if it's not AS good as it was, even if it's only marginally better, I feel like on account of the MARISSA DEATH, I owe them at least four episodes.

You know how you break up with somebody because he's an ambitionless pothead who lives in his parents' basement, but then he comes around a year later and he's got his own apartment and has embraced personal hygeine and is now holding down a steady job and wants another chance? And he has really pretty green eyes and a nice smile so you give him that chance even if you know you could get hurt again?

That's me and The O.C.

I haven't watched it, since, well, it's been so long I couldn't tell you. Whatever happened to Zach? Never mind, don't answer that. All I care about is that Bright is supposed to be there AND -- AND, Ryan's supposed to go to Berkeley. All I need now is Jamie and I may have to -- I dunno, think of something. Is it really on against GA though, cos, um, huh. It would have to be SUPER good -- or, GA could just keep pissing me off like it has been, who knows.

Number 4 is really appropriate for all ficathons. It's sad that the people who most need to take that advice to heart are the ones who'll probably ignore it.

I never understood why you would be mean to the person who wrote some for you *specifically*. It just -- I mean you may not love it, it may not be precisely what you want, but somebody sat down and tried to think of something you might like, or something that even if you didn't love you'd at least enjoy, and your first thought is, 'oh, let's spit in their face' because GOD, I could've done it so much better, or why didn't X write it with this pairing, because this other pairing makes me gag. Dude, then you should've pointedly excluded those characters, I just. I don't get it, sweetie, I really don't. You don't have to bronze it and hang in on your wall, but is saying 'Thank You, I appreciate the effort,' really that hard?

Naturally this year my recepient will loathe my effort and spend all of next year talking about what a bad writer I am. No good deed goes unpunished.

Hee! With this post, you've practically sealed your fate, haven't you?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Yeah, pretty much.
