I give up.

I am having a really shitty time of it right now, because whomever said wild women don't get the blues was a liar, and I would love to see lots of things that make you guys happy: happy stories, happy songs, happy pictures, fuck it, it could just be a smiley face. Mostly I just need happy things. Please?

Have you seen this (http://www.scalzi.com/whatever/004873.html)?

Avoid if you hate either 80s pop or hugh grant. Otherwise, it's very shiny!

Also, some TV entertainment news show rated Nathan & Peter the third hottest brother-pair on TV today. Thought you ought to know.

The tv clip is here (http://dawnie1970.livejournal.com/372195.html). Adrian & Milo are shown first.

I'm writing Rentboy!Lee fic with drugs and prostitution. Um...I'm writing Lee/Helo sex. Um...I love you! And I posted Tracey Ullman's You Broke My Heart in 17 Places

And I love you even more now.

Ooooh, tracey! Wonderful shiny girlpop!

Someone on my flist just linked me to this Sylar vid. I haven't watched it yet, but dear god, the song choice! *snerk*

I laughed so hard they're not even real noises.

Jeff Buckley = Pretty

[darksylvia.livejournal.com]

I know we share a love of Jeff Buckley, my dead rock star boyfriend, so here's one of my favorite quotes by him, and some screen caps I took.

"I try to make my music joyful--it makes me joyful--to feel the music soar through the body. It changes your posture, you raise your chin, throw your shoulders back, walk with a swagger. When I sing, my face changes shape. If feels like my skull changes shape...the bones bend. "Grace" and "Eternal Life" (from the album) are about the joy that music gives--the, probably illusory, feeling of being able to do anything. Sex is like that. You become utterly consumed by the moment.

"Apparently orgasm is the only point where your mind becomes completely empty--you think of nothing for that second. That's why it's so compelling--it's a tiny taste of death. Your mind is void--you have nothing in your head save white light. Nothing save that white light and 'YES!'--which is fantastic. Just knowing 'Yes.'"

Also, the video for Raspberry Beret (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNrC6sZulng) usually makes me feel better. It's so...bright!

Oh, Jeff. *sniff*

Hey Juliet - LMNT (http://www.box.net/public/zuqgzqyntb)

I don't know about you, but what makes me happy:

*coming home after a few hours outside and making a giant cup of tea, spreading my wet things out on the radiator, and settling down.
*when you complain about your mother, and a friend says, it's okay, I understand.
*cute guys who have yellow labs.
*when people in couples love each other that they touch each other, for no reason, like on the arm, or riffle their hair.
*that rush of joy when someone writes really good fic.
*even if you get halfway in and find that it's really not that good.
*and you keep reading anyway.
*penguins.
*especially those gay penguins in the san diego zoo.
*HEROES.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

HAHAHA. Yes, those are all awesome things.

The Best Things in Life Are Free by smittywing, which is 100,000 words of mid-1980s teen!John/Rodney in a loose (and *good*) adaptation of the 1987 Patrick Dempsey movie Can't Buy Me Love. You know you want to read about Teyla walking around in off-the-shoulder sweatshirts and miniskirts.

No, Really by basingstoke. John + Rodney + Teyla + Ronon = Yes, Please.

You Knit What? Part Two: the blog that points out that no matter how crappy your day is going, at least you're not wearing *this* shit.

Also, there's new Ugly Betty tonight!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

YAYE BETTY!

[calligrafiti.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry things are going badly for you. For some reason, this cartoon made me smile: http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=787 (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=787).

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Okay, now I feel like I need to get a dog. Fuzzy. And slobbery. And unconditional love.

[mskatej.livejournal.com]

Some stuff that always makes me laugh my ass off:

Stewie and Brian: That novel you're workin' on? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ow2ZZWNYNY)

And of course:

Stewie vs Osama (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5S0sVqMU51I)

I believe slodwick pointed me here:



And this one also pleases me greatly:

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

LMFAO.

[thepouncer.livejournal.com]

Check here (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v51/pouncer77/for%20zahra/?action=view&slideshow=true). I hope you find something to make you smile.

Aw...

[elzed.livejournal.com]

The look on my friend's face in a picture I just saw of her holding her newborn son. Both parents are old, old friends, and they've been trying for ages, and she had started fertility treatment, and then she got pregnant right away before any IVF... and their son was born last Friday. And she has one of those huge, shit-eating grins normally, youy could nickname her the Joker (her husband does) and there, she is just so happy, the smile is even more expansive, and I am so, so happy for them.

So there, gushing and happiness.

Dude, I really hope your shitty time has nothing to do with babies.

*hugs*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

No, no babies involved. Unless you're selling a rack of baby.

[serrico.livejournal.com]

Happy...hugs? **hugs you**

Seasonal affective, man. I think the body *knows*, no matter where you are in the world.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

*blinks* I never -- but. Oh, god it makes so much sense. It doesn't matter where I live in the world every February and March are just bad.

[teaspoon.livejournal.com]

some music:
my morning jacket, [tyrone (http://www.sendspace.com/file/4s099o)]
nellie mckay, [pasadena girl (http://www.sendspace.com/file/judprr)]

taylor kitsch jumping, and otherwise being a hotass dork:



i hope that helps, even a wee tiny bit. *smush*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

That was awesome. Thank you!! ♥

[svmadelyn.livejournal.com]

All I have, alas, is this icon.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

you are awesome by virtue of organizing the entire planet and when I am Grand Empress you are so going to be Chief of Shit. No, not Chief of Staff, Chief of Shit, that's a much more fitting name.

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

You've probably already seen this, but Adrian was on the View today, and yes it's the View, so you might want to use the mute button, but early on he sticks out his tongue a little bit and at the end he talks about Milo, and in the middle he tells cute stories about his kids and mentions Shakespeare.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3-_F3kDg7g

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

And I just realized it's incredibly cruel to try and get someone who is down to watch the view, so Adrian sticks out his tongue at 1:02 and he talks about Milo and smiles and says he loves him at 5:45.

[xnitelite.livejournal.com]

I'm cranking up some Earth, Wind & Fire for you.

*hugs you*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you, sweetie.

[estrella30.livejournal.com]

(I am SO LAME I cant remember the coding for colors OR to make things bigger, but pretend this is RED and HUGE because I think you're AWESOME)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

It's okay, baby, you are thinking for two now, that's can't possibly be good for the brain cells.

Janie Beth. A wee tiny Yex. Lots of Jumpin' Jumpin'!

Awwww. Back in the day.

[windsor.livejournal.com]

I don't know about you, but footballers kissing (http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g230/laseleccion/otp/sxkiss.jpg), singing (http://youtube.com/watch?v=9iNJSw33aiY), posing suggestively (http://youtube.com/watch?v=KbGiReUyc9M) for photo shoots (http://youtube.com/watch?v=6Vf1QyQkzFE"), generally being gay (http://youtube.com/watch?v=D2cMjziLeuI) (Rooney and Ronaldo. so wrong. brain.), and jumping on each other (http://youtube.com/watch?v=1isihoqN8QA) always manage to cheer me up.

Or: Justin Timberlake dancing with Ellen in a giant gingerbread man costume (http://youtube.com/watch?v=uX4NT3iDuRE).

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You know it's interesting, you typed kissing, and yet, I didn't really think there would be real kissing there. But that right there. That's real kissing. Oh I do love Liverpool madly.

[eschaton-redux.livejournal.com]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suxjuZUwsy8 <- the sleepy kitten makes me happy. She also makes me sleepy.

Um, if you can get it from someone, Alexi Murdoch songs. If you can't, say so and I can gmail you some, I think! "Dream About Flying" is the best.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I actually just put 'Dream About Flying' in a fanmix (http://hackthis.livejournal.com/423984.html) slodwick and I made, so, yes, I too am a big fan of the song, thank you for the suggestion!

[spurious.livejournal.com]

I always link this to people when they say they are sad. ♥ (http://imreallysad.com)

Your icon is tres adorable.

[boochicken.livejournal.com]

Here, have a baby tiger (http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=dahalcon)! She's at the Seattle Zoo, being bottle-raised after her mom didn't do the best job taking care of her -- but never fear, she's being doted on and growing up a storm.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Oh my god. *plotzes*
