Secondary Displacement

Fanfic is defeating me. I have this fic I've been working on (Glee, Kurtofsky), and...they wont do what i want them to do. and if im not looking at it, then i can rewrite the scene, but every time i open the doc, i end up stuck again. gah. it's one of those issues where it's going in a completely different direction than i want it to, and i cant seem to make them cooperate.

why do fictional characters have to be so attitudinal? and stubborn? DAMMIT BOYS, STOP BITCHING AT EACH OTHER AND BE ADORABLE. *glares*

Also on the fic list:

1) Burt reads some very educational pamphlets. Carole is..supportive. And by supportive, i mean, dirty minded.
2) Kurt derails Karofsky's post kiss discussion prior to the death threat and invites him for coffee. Plot not included, but..i want it to go somewhere. but there are so many random series-of-coffee-date fics that im kinda reluctant to attempt. maybe there is a bakery close by. they could bond over cupcakes. or something.
3) in order to feel safe enough to come back to school, Kurt insists Karofsky get therapy. They end up in couples counseling. there would be a lot of bickering and it would be adorable and so therefore i will never successfully write this. maybe i should throw it up on the fluff meme, just so someone else might see it and get inspired. rah.


I am stuck and therefore, i shall leave you with the fact that i should most likely not ever be left in charge of any child. especially my own, because this is what brandus and i do for fun:

So, now I'm on tumblr, DAMN YOU ALL who've been posting about it. I don't need any other ways to waste my life on the internet, and yet HERE I AM DAMMIT.

I haven't posted a damn thing yet, but expect randomness. And probably a lot of Glee, seeing as that's all I'm focused on lately.

Tumblr, JESUS. What's next, Twitter? Am i going to waste my life TWEETING now?

WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME INTERNETS?



also, anenko, that is totally the Beelzebub anime you have posted, isnt it? WHERE WOULD I FIND THIS WONDERFUL THING?

In less than 16 hours, there will be an event like no other that has happened before.

In less than 16 hours, rinalin, and literarylemming, and myself will descend upon Las Vegas, to partake of its' food, see its' sites, marry someone off to Elvis, and also spend too much time watching Asian boybanders do incredibly dumb things. Most likely extremely late at night.

This is the very first time all three of us will be in the same place at the same time with the same agenda*, to hang out and giggle and run around and scare people with hyperactivity and weirdness.

I will attempt to reign in some of my natural impulses.
-I am going to do my VERY LEVEL BEST to stay out of any gangster cars, and will attempt to not volunteer to drive said gangster car when it belongs to someone I have never met. (I PROMISE, RINNY! I DO!)
-I will attempt to share my laptop with others similarly addicted to the internet, but any injuries inflected while they pry it out of my hands are, of course, accidental.
-I will attempt to call both of them by their real names on occasion, so long as they realize I sometimes can't help it, particularly while annoying excited.

I AM VERY EXCITED.

*Slightly different agendas, actually. Mine is called "Brainwash Rinny with Big Bang" and "OMG M!!!!!" Not sure what they are calling theirs.

This is a dream I had a while back, that I just found in an email to literarylemming and rinalin, which I am posting here because it (and my brain that came up with it) still makes me boggle.

Very weird.

Want to know what’s weirder? Last night’s dream. In which I was involved in a competition to win Sho’s hand in marriage.

It involved scaling poles and searching the ceiling. I was in second place. And then his mother is there while the person in first place did…something, and we all sat around and watched inside a crowded store. And his mother was smiling at me, and emphasizing how the person who won would be the one who FOUND THE RING.

And there, behind me, was the ring. One of the plastic, adjustable wedding rings you buy at Michael’s to use on wedding favors. And then the first place girl said something about BOTH rings, so I’m hiding the one I have on my finger (on my ring finger, and beside it on my middle finger is my actual engagement and wedding ring, but that didn’t occur to me that it was weird) and looking around frantically for the second ring, and I found it TOO, so I won.

But nobody seemed particularly happy about this, and Sho was very polite, but I got the feeling he thought I had stumbled into it and wasn’t really interested in marrying him, but he signed me a very nice card about how it was his fault that he had misplaced the ring.

Let me be clear that, as far as I knew, he was in no way disappointed that he would have to marry me, he was disappointed that he thought I didn't want to marry him but was going to feel obligated to.

what about you? Any entertaining dreams lately?

THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT I'M WRITING FIC AGAIN.

THE BAD NEWS IS THAT IT'S FOR WORD WORLD. OMG I AM SO SORRY.

STOP ME. NOW.

Taking a page out of anenko's notebook, here's a slightly obsessive spreadsheet of manga reading.

I have so much more to add, but figured if I linked it, I might actually finish inputting stuff instead of getting distracted by rereading Usagi Drop.

Also, I plan to split my asian list of DOOOOM up and post it as a spreadsheet, too. It will make it easier to figure out if I've downloaded it or bookmarked it and to keep track of what I want to watch, too.

Here's what i've done in February and half of March, so far, not including things like work, sleep, stare blankly, and read Percy Jackson:

Television:

Drama K.O. - 37 complete episodes in 5 different shows, all Japanese.


Jmovies:

Sleeping Bride - a boy finds a girl sleeping in a hospital, and the nurse tells him she's Sleeping Beauty. He comes regularly and tells her, "Wake up, I'm a prince," and kisses her. And then one day she wakes up. Very sweet.

The Great Happiness Space (Tales of an Osaka Love Thief) - documentary about a host club. Fascinating! By the end I felt for everybody, both the hosts and their clients.

Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea - Voldemort has only seen this is Japanese, and has absolutely no problem telling me what is going on and who everyone is. Adorable!

My Neighbor Totoro - my kid fell in love with it in English, but I could only find the subbed online. He doesn't seem to care either way.

Saigo no Yakusoka - Arashi's SP where they are all stuck in a hostage situation. Very entertaining, and I honestly wasn't expecting the twist.

Yonimo Kimyouna Monogatari - short SP where Sho plays a guy who tries to discover a talent for music through magic candy. Worth it for seeing him molest lollipops.

Yankee Bokou ni Kaeru - Sho is a yankee who in the first fifteen minutes has set a teacher's hair on fire and removed one of his own toenails with a knife. Based on a true story.

Kamikaze Girls - I love Ichigo and her complete inability to leave Momoko alone. Was wildly disturbed when I discovered Momoko was in Yatterman as the dominatrix who really just wanted to be a housewife and have babies.



Manga:

1/2 Prince - wip
The first crossdresser in virtual gaming. Wonder how long it will take everyone else to find her out? Enjoyable.

Aishiteruze Baby - complete
High school boy tends to small child - a trope to which I am very very weak. Cute, but the ending isn't very strong at all.

Dengeki Daisy - wip
Daisy is the name of someone on the other end of her text messages, and the only thing she has left after her brother dies. Far more interesting and entertaining than it sounds. Our girl has guts, and she's willing to protect what's important to her.

Koukou Debut - complete
I tried. I did. And princess_dexter says I should try again, but omg i can only stand so much stupid. I liked it until the kiss, and then I just wanted to hit her in the head repeatedly and shriek "WHY ARE YOU AN IDIOT?" Also, I am sad to say that the boy doesn't do much for me. Will probably try again after I've read everything else in existance.

Kimi wa Boku no Toriko Nare - wip
A maid with a deadly weapon: a mop. This is a weird one, but I'm interested to see where it's going. He's got secrets, and I want to know them!

Kingyo Sou - complete
HELLO I LOVE THIS PLEASE READ NOW NOW NOW. A girl falls in love with a deaf taiko player, and it's this beautiful story. This is the first time I cried WHILE READING MANGA. There's one scene where she is SO upset, and she's turning her face away from him while she's crying and talking, and he's desperately trying to see her face so he can figure out what she's saying, but she doesn't want him to, and he doesn't understand and OMG MY HEART. Beautiful and hopeful and a very sweet love story.

Suki-tte Ii na yo - wip
Good thing he likes unusual girls, seeing as she just kicked him in the face. Very realistic, it feels to me - deals with sex and relationships and our protagonist is not your typical shoujo girl. No cheerful smiles in the face of adversary here! She's blunt and withdrawn and kind of bad tempered, and he likes her because of it.

SOLD OUT - complete
Save yourself some time, and just punch yourself in the face. She goes to buy a dress, the salesman compliments her, she loudly declares she loves him and then the stalking commences. MINDBLOWINGLY STUPID. Comes with the quote: "I'LL FOLLOW YOU LIKE A GOLDFISH'S POOP!"

Special A - complete
Another dense heroine! But this one I don't actually want to hit repeatedly! She's been competing with him since they were kids, and she ALWAYS comes in second place to him. Hilarious and silly, with random bonus gender bending in later chapters! I find him very adorable, as he's been in love with her forever, but 1)he never confesses, and 2) she's as dense as a board, so when he does, she tells him he's her best friend. Plus, I really like the fact that she is capable! She is smart and athletic and can do amazing things.

You're My Girlfriend - complete
short work from the Special A mangaka. She has good intentions, but always seems to say the absolute wrong thing. He can't resist giving girls makeovers. Together, she thinks he's gay and he just wants her to have friends! Fun and silly.
