Killing time.

I’m waiting for something come back from the beta, so I’m over here reading the NY Post and they’ve got this thing with Colin Farrell. Now, everybody and their grandparents seems to swoon over this man, and for the life of me I don’t know why. I remember when he was a snot-nosed kid on BallyK. Also, I suspect he reminds me of at least one ex a bit too much, but the point is that he said something that resounded with me:

”If [you’re] not going to enjoy this life, just give it to someone else.”

Word.

Hedonism 101 – 100 Words on the Mark
LOTRips



Billy makes no apologies for the way he is: that’s an English trait, not a Scottish one.

Billy likes lager, footie and takeaways.

He likes using up all the hot water for his baths and mixing his cheap shampoo with Dom’s overpriced one.

Billy likes what he likes. Unsolicited opinions are not welcome.

In his estimation the only thing better that the feel of dirty jeans against clean skin, is the feel of dirty Dom against clean skin.

Yes, that might be Billy’s ultimate vice, and there people who would say that’s wrong.

Billy would tell them to piss off.



Smallville


The truth is relative.

So are lies.

Stories fall somewhere in the middle.

*

Lex received a fish named Hedonism from the hostess of Idolatry & Sin.

Lex has never had a fish.

Lex was a member of Idolatry & Sin.

Most of this story is not true.

*

Lex once had a vice called Cocaine.

He said he quit.

Lex is not a quitter.

Most of this story is true.

*

Lex fell in love with Clark Kent.

Sacrifices were made.

They live happily ever after. Or maybe not.

This story is true and false depending who you ask.



Everwood


Colin is dying, so he’s allowed to have anything he wants.

He eats ice cream for dinner, watches cartoons when he should be studying, and closes the door in Amy’s face when he gets tired of the games.

He wants to enjoy the time he has left.

*

Bright beats off at night holding old photographs of Colin. Sticky reminders are all he has left.

It might be wrong, but he’s going to hell anyway.

*

Colin touches Ephram in the strangest way with his voice.

His lips move and Ephram thinks of damnation.

They kiss because he’s dying anyway.

SV: I'm a sucker for the truth/story/lie ersatz syllogism, and I really liked this. "A lie is a kind of myth, and a myth is a kind of truth."

I think you put it much more succintly than my sleep-deprived brain could ever hope to make this. I just kept thinking of the Manic Street Preacher's album This is My Truth Tell Me Yours. I'm very glad you liked it though, thank you.

Ha! Someone remembers Ballykissangel! Did it air in America?? I'd be pleased to learn that Ireland can export crap tv like the best of 'em. I was reading a puff piece on Farrell recently that was claiming that he had chemistry with everyone on screen in his movies. All I could think about was his close personal friendship with his horse, way back in Wiclow. You reckin he was thinking of her, the whole time he was with Britney?

(Hiya, btw. I'm Emelerin. Newbie; East Coaster (of the Atlantic); Friend of Your Fiction)

I used to live in the UK and I remember him being on the show then. He wasn't fit then and he's not fit now. You can find 100 guys just like him at any pub, I am really not seeing the allure, you know? Chemistry? Pfft. Also, hello! *waves*

Only read the lotrips one because I'm a horrible, horrible person. *smiles*

But you know I loved it. Umguhdirtydomonskin.

And I love your characterization of Billy. *sighs happily*

Yeah, dirty Dom. Sigh. I'm quite besotted with Billy, but I suspect he's a bit sulky since my last LOTRips piece gave dom to elijah as opposed to him.

*wibbles slightly at the Everwood one*

Your fic is like crack. Crack that makes me download tv shows that don't air here just so I can read more of it.

PS Ballykissangel was absolutely the best Sunday teatime show at the beginning of its run. Father Whatever-His-Name-Was and Assumpta forever! I'd stopped watching it by the time Colin Farrell turned up (and I don't get what all the hype about him is either).

Anyway. I must go back to selling my soul to Kazaa, excuse me.

Oh, yes. I, unlike Echo, am good, and have read all three. I haven't read any of your other Smallville fics, but after reading the drabble I'm wondering why the hell that is so. Fantastic exploring of the thin line between truth and lie and story. And. Everwood! I love love it, but haven't read any fanfiction. You have taken my virginity, and, guh, but it was painful, albeit beautifully so. You always write clever little stories. Your characterizations are superb. I'm addicted to your writing. Rock on, dude. :D

My first virgin! Okay, my first Everwood virgin... okay, my first LOTRips to Everwood virgin. This is fabulous. If I weren't working so hard to pimp all my fandoms the stories would probably be longer, as my time in SV will attest. One day I will find a balance.

Drabblelicious. Billy's always good. The Clex is even better.

In his estimation the only thing better that the feel of dirty jeans against clean skin, is the feel of dirty Dom against clean skin.

Niiiiiiiice. *appreciates*

This story is true and false depending who you ask.

<3! This was interesting, especially the last little bit. Good times.

the feel of dirty Dom against clean skin.

this got me all hot and bothered. Why are you so Evil?

You said this
The Word of the Day is also brought to you by the number three cos that's how many hot icons I can be bought for. I like purple, green and blue. I'm just saying.

and I promised you some Billy a while back (because you gave me many lovely LJ codes). Well, I finally got off my lazy ass and posted -

( My first icon set )

Have fun with the boys...

*pouts*
damnit.. it's so effin sad. All of them.
Beautiful drabbles zahra.

I adore Colin Farrell, if only because he drinks/smokes/fucks like the rest of us. No Hollywood sanitizing for that bloke.

He is just like the lot of us, which is probably why I don't understand all the hoopla. He's just a twenty-something doing what twenty-somethings do. Why the fuck don't I get paid like that? On second thought, I'd rather not have my mum reading my exploits in USAToday. You know?

[identity profile] resmin.livejournal.com 2003-04-09 11:49 am (UTC)(link)
indeed.
If i said/did half of the things he did, my mom would kick my ass. And then my minister would preach out against me, ala Britney. But, my dad would just laugh and count the money.

Like Tina always says, rehab's for quitters, freak (she always calls me freak).

Lex once had a vice called Cocaine.

He said he quit.

Lex is not a quitter.

Most of this story is true.


Yeah.

That's because you are a freak.
