This is my life

So it started with Catch and Release, which was my Netflix movie, and made me cry and wish Timothy Olyphant had looked like that for more than 10 minutes (I love romance movies that make me cry, I dunno). That naturally led to me putting in 13 Going On 30, which doesn't seem like it would make you cry, right? But the end, where Mark Ruffalo (in the only role I really enjoyed him - he's just so strange-looking) chooses his fiancée instead of Jennifer Garner makes me tear up every time.

Tonight, Mamma Mia, which mostly makes me cry when Pierce Brosnan attempts singing, but that led to Practical Magic which makes me cry like a baby for a good 15 minutes in the beginning. I really would love someone to do that movie for the rom com fest. 13 Going On 30, too, I'd just love to see fandom do those movies.

We're making Betsy Buns too, and I'm trying to be more excited that the Packers are in the Superbowl. I'm constitutionally unable to not root for them, and I will get enthusiastic during the game tomorrow, but tonight, I'm just not feeling it. Partially because the woman whose office is across from mine is a Steelers fan (and kind of obnoxious about it (the rest of the office are Ravens fans, this being Baltimore)). So if the Packers win, she's going to be pouty-annoying and if the Steelers win, she's going to be smug-annoying. I'm not looking forward to Monday.

In other news, ante_up_losers got six new treats today (the collection is here), one of them for me! What A Cougar Wants is a delightful little comfort fic, where there are hurt Cougars and baking Jensens and cookies and milk! :D :D :D

Oh yeah, and... I finally posted my So You Think You Can Dance Kent/Neil fic. I hadn't touched it for ages; I'd gotten a little lost in that story. Re-reading it today, I realized I had a complete fic - and about four thousand words of a possible (porny) sequel. And it's about time I show off the cover soleta made for me and share the soundtrack I made ages ago. How It Ends (You Already Know) at the AO3. Kent/Neil-ish (with Kent/Lauren ~stuff~), rated teen-ish for kissing.

I need to spare you all from my horrific work times right now, and there's something else I've been doing that needs talking about. Oh, hey, right - two things.

1. I put in two grant applications for the OTW! One is for servers for the vidding project. I really hope we get that one. I hope we get them both, but servers for the vidding project would be so cool.

2. The kink meme! HOLY COW YOU GUYS!!!! 721 prompts; 23 fills so far (two of those are for my prompts! I am a lucky girl!). Go here to poke around and look for things to fill. Go here to see what's been filled.

( My recs: )

( Prompts I'd love to see filled (and no, these aren't mine... well, maybe one - and not the Alton Brown one): )

Whew. That was a lot of prompts. But not even one per page! 30 PAGES OF PROMPTS, PEOPLE. Go take a look around and see what you can fill. Minimum fill is only a drabble! <333

And now, it is time for bed.

So the lovely beachlass wrote me a delightful Rodney and Torren drabble entitled Lunch Break because both of us have been too busy to eat lunch at work this week.

Go, read the cute!

So, I received the most delightful Christmas card from Teyla - and the rest of the team and Torren (translated and mailed by wintercreek). OMG, it was amazing. I left it in Baltimore, so I can't type it up for you all, but I will do so when I get back to town.

I also received an e-card from the delightful auburn and it is gorgeous. ( Picture below cut. )

Also, I have had two fics written for me in two exchanges (and clearly my yuletide gift will be here in a couple of days). I've also written fic for three exchanges, and I'll put up a post later for you to guess which ones are mine.

In cm_exchange, I received a lovely gen piece about Emily shopping for her teammates called Help to Make the Season Bright. A very nice, soft fic about Emily and how she views the team (within her trip to the mall).

For sga_santa, I received a fusion with A Wrinkle in Time that I love to death even though I don't know that story. /o\ If you do know that story, you will probably love it even more. It's called The Shortest Distance Between Two Points.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to anyone involved with the most lovely gifts above. <3

OMG YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!! Fic wot has been writ for me: And in the Darkness Bind Them, John/Rodney/Ronon, telling tales and camping and team bondage bonding... PERFECT. Written for me in the One Night Stand ficathon by spuffyduds, and I could NOT be happier. Rated R.

This is wonderfully in character, with a lovely look at Ronon and perfectly perfect sense of team. Mmmm. LOVELY.

I wrote something too, I figure if you're interested in that sort of thing, you've probably already read it, but what the hell. Prologue, an attempt to explain why Vegas!Rodney and Vegas!John have the chemistry they do in Vegas. NC-17.

ALSO, ALSO, ALSO! onecheekyhobbit, I finished your fic (from the request meme)! AU McShep, where they end up in close quarters, called, unimaginatively, Close Quarters. John/Rodney in college, getting hazed, kinda. PG-13.
