Wanted: One Fucking Miracle Worker


( They're not like other boys. )

It occurs to me that some of you might've thought I was joking last week when I talked about being burned out on Heroes; I assure you I was quite serious. I was so serious in fact that over the last several days I've had conversations with my nearest and dearest about taking off for other parts of fandom. ( For some shit we done liked and some shit that done made me homicidal )

In fact, I had no plans to watch last nights premiere, and I say that in all seriousness as pretty much anybody who talked to me yesterday will attest. Even when the text messages started coming of OMG! DUDE! PETRELLIS! I wasn't convinced. I can be stubborn that way. In fact I only went there on direct orders from antheia. She can be scary sometimes.

( My parting argument was: I am not interested. Unless there is naked Adrian. Or Naked Captain Jack. *pauses* Is there naked Captain Jack? IS THERE? Spoilers for Heroes 2.01 'Four Months Later' )

ETA: When I said 'my' baby daddy, I mean yours. Not mine. Mine is spelled Adrian Matthew Pasdar-Damon. I like the hyphenate. I also like smart men. Who look good in suits. And some times lederhosen -- but that's another story for another day.

Many moons ago the most beloved sameoldhope made me an awesome piece of art. This is the story it inspired, which I dedicate whole-heartedly to her. <3 Also, thanks to technosage for inspiring the summary and to my betas K-Squared, because you can't beta for someone like me without a whole lot of patience and whole lot of sarcasm. ;-)

I Could've Been an Actor, But I Wound Up Here


( You are a manipulative little shit. )

a) I very much want to thank everyone who has helped me so much over the last few days with trying to sort out the Neville Disaster of '07. You all have gone way above and beyond and I thank each and every one of you immensely.

b) As you can tell I'm not having the best patch at the moment, and sameoldhope wrote me some fantastic Peter & Nathan (gen) Four Razors, which has nannies and aftershave and wee!Peter and family dynamics which I adore. Read it. Thank her on my behalf.

c) I know if you are in Heroes fandom you know all about the heroes_bigboom, which you know = yay. Yesterday, linaerys posted her story Lethe's Shore, which you know, I don't know what I was expecting, you write Nathan/Peter and sometimes you start to think there are really only so many things you can do and then something comes along and makes you rethink the whole pairing. This is that story. It's long. And brilliant. And heartbreaking. And made me really like Mohinder. It's just... it's everything a story should be. Read it. Oh, shit, and watch the fucking trailer. I admit that the trailer was so good I wasn't sure the story could live up to the hype, but I was fucking wrong. Sometimes it's nice to be wrong.

d) Reminder: BURN NOTICE MARATHON! All day today. Watch eeet!

In what may be one of the most traumatic episodes EVER, last week I plugged in my iPod to charge the battery and it blue screened my computer. And then, when the computer rebooted and iTunes came back up, my pod started syncing up, only instead of syncing up, it synced down and proceeded to wipe itself clean. Yeah, you read that right. Two years, five computers and 5000 songs worth of work are all gone. And of course the Apple Geniuses were of no help, they basically said, "Yeah, your music is gone, no we don't know why, but your pod seems fine."

And it's not just the music -- although that REALLY smarts -- if you have a pod you know the time you take with it. You put in artwork and you make sure things are spelled right and capitalized and you create your own genres and playlists and you hug it and love it and call it George!

*sigh*

Like I said, there aren't any words, but if you've gotten music from me in oh, like EVER, or you have anything you think I'd like, I am asking you to help me out and put it in this post. Pop, rock, classical, old skool hip-hop, new wave, old wave, old classics, country, motown, jazz, blues, drinking songs, live songs, 420 songs, grunge, rap, comedy, britrock, britpop, kids songs, christmas songs, working out songs, 80s, 90s, 70s, covers, disco, you name it and chances are I would like it. I thank you in advance. I have to go take a Xanax.


ETA: To make life easier for you giving souls, you should know that I have 300+ CDs waiting to be loaded on my Pod, if I decide it's still trustworthy, so you don't have to give me whole albums of stuff, maybe just a zip with some of your favorite songs, that would totally be awesome too.

Dearest Adrian:

It is very hard for me to have resolve about, oh, ANYTHING, when you are posting videos like this. Plz to do this at least twice daily. It's a good thing I've put you on the no-RPS list (as the only occupant) or we'd both be in a lot of trouble.

Love,
Me

In other news, I am going to write a story or two for sameoldhope because she made me ART! And I would show you the art, but then that would spoil you for the stories that I am, err, not writing. I'm having some false starts issues. Here, have some false start snippets!

I now go back to the drawing board. Or something.

Yes, I know, two posts in two days. My gods. I'm well aware it's been a while. Suck it up. Yesterday I posted a story. A 10,000 word Heroes AU story. Give me some credit. Today, I bring music. Frankenmix 16.0 to be precise. It's been a while since I've done that too, yeah, I know.

( Frankenmix 16.0 – The Get Out of Here 'Mix' )

For the last couple of weeks I've very much been wanting to write something for the convalescence of the most beloved scribblinlenore, which is a bit difficult when you've not written anything in two months. Hell, it's been so long since I've written anything I didn't even have anything for antheia's birthday, and it's a bit disgraceful when you've got nothing for one of your betas, so this is for her as well. ♥
