Oct. 1st, 2007 02:19 pmI wasn't online yesterday, so I missed wishing
raynedanser happy birthday, but I'll do so now. Happy birthday (plus one), Den! I hope it was a good one.
It's such a beautiful autumn day today. Crispy, sunny and cool, just how I like it. It was lovely walking to the shops in the morning sun and now I'm back home, washing on the line, house tidied, just enjoying the quiet time until Corey gets home in a couple of hours.
I was tagged by
babycakesin for the seven facts, random things, weird things about me meme.
(1) One of my biggest pet peeves is littering. I hate it. Hate hate hate! It's not hard to put rubbish in a bin, or shove it in your pocket until you get home. I was in the car the other day and this man and his son were walking past. The boy suddenly threw a plastic container on the floor, like the packaging cakes comes in. Then they just walked on. If Corey did that I'd make him go back, pick it up, and any other litter lying nearby for being so lazy.
(2) I use Lush's solid shampoo bar to wash my hair. Sadly my bar is down to a tiny slice now. But it lasted for months, so I have no complaints.
(3) Lush is actually my favourite place for bath and shower stuff. I get demon in the dark soap from there, adore snow fairy shower gel, which is seasonal and back soon! and think a bath with a bath bomb or bubble bath bar is wonderful.
(4) I've never broken a bone, smoked a cigarette, taken any kind of illegal drugs, and have only been falling down drunk once in my life.
(5) I'm weird about swearing. I didn't swear at all until my mid teens, and only then saying bloody, which isn't really swearing at all. I like the word fuck, and if I'm really angry I'll use it, but that's it. Even writing them down feels wrong, and I have to make a conscious effort to add swearing to my stories, because I just don't speak that way. Man, I sound like such a prude. But people can drink, smoke, swear in front of me, to an extent anyway. I just don't do it myself.
(6) I can touch my toes, hands flat to the floor without bending my knees. I suspect inside this body is a flexible person somewhere.
(7) Before I go to sleep, or are travelling or hanging around. I entertain myself with little scenarios in my head. Characters I love doing things, scraps of dialogue and actions. They're like little scenes that become familiar with repetition.
Also,
carta wanted more people to do that personal canon meme, and as I'm here anyway, why not? I can't remember the actual wording, but tell me a character ( and yes, the rps people count ) and I'll tell you three things of my personal canon about them.
Last thing. I was uploading these for Turlough, and while I realise that everyone that wants them will have them anyway, I hate wasting links. Therefore.
From Under the Cork Tree
Fall Out Boy's Evening Out With Your Girl
Infinity on High
Take This to Your Grave
All FOB, all zips, all sendspace.
ETA: I've just been teased with an amazing fuck or die snippet, and man, I want teased again like that again and again. But it has left me wanting more. There's just not enough fuck or die stories around, so if you have any recs, please let me know.

Date: 2007-10-01 01:51 pm (UTC)You can touch your toes?! oh dude, that's impressive (I'm about as flexible as a boabab)
As for the little scenarios... OMG I do that too! I didn't know of any other adult who did it *smootches*

Date: 2007-10-03 04:25 pm (UTC)It is. They sell a tin to keep them in, it's only small, smaller than the palm of my hand, but the shampoo bar lasts for ages.
I can touch my toes, sadly it's the only physically impressive thing I can do.
As for the little scenarios... OMG I do that too!
It's a great way to entertain yourself :)

Date: 2007-10-01 03:11 pm (UTC)I also used to entertain myself with little stories as I was falling asleep. Mostly tragically bad Mary Sue scenarios. :-) But I stopped doing it when I started writing fanfic, because I would inevitably start thinking about something I was writing, and then I would get paranoid that I'd think of something really good just as I was about to fall asleep and forget it. I should go back to the lame Mary Sues, shouldn't I?
Tell me about...Brian Littrell.
p.s. You have made me really, really want to read an Aliens Made Them Do It fuck or die popslash story. With, like, all ten of Backstreet and Nsync. And probably Britney, and Lynn, and Jane Carter, and Aaron, and -- and just EVERYONE.

Date: 2007-10-02 12:05 pm (UTC)It seems like Mary Sue stories at bedtime are quite popular, and for good reason. I mean, there's nothing like having a little fun in your mind.
An alien made then do it fuck or die popslash story would be fabulous!

Date: 2007-10-02 12:18 pm (UTC)(1) Each time Kevin mentions them being cousins, Brian has to put $1 into a jar. Back when he first made the vow, he thought it would a good way to save up a little money. Years later and he's got several thousands of dollars packed into a battered box. He'd bank it, but each time he adds a new bill, he's reminded that family love is everlasting.
(2) Brian loves his son and wife. His life is exactly how he wants it, but sometimes, late at night when it's so still he can hear himself breathe, he wonders what it would be like without them all. No ties, no responsibilities, the only thing he need worry about himself.
(3) Brian turned Nick down back in the day. Nick was homesick and lost and cold and all he wanted was a warm bed and someone to love. Brian evaded his kisses, tucked him in and lay on top of the covers, stroking Nick's hair. The inevitable blocked yet again.

Date: 2007-10-01 03:31 pm (UTC)I hate people who litter! It's so thoughtless and wasteful and inconsiderate. Grrrr!!!
I've never broken a bone, smoked a cigarette, taken any kind of illegal drugs, and have only been falling down drunk once in my life.
The bone thing looks a little odd together with the other things, I had no idea that breaking bones was considered a vice ;-)
Before I go to sleep, or are travelling or hanging around. I entertain myself with little scenarios in my head.
*looks shifty-eyed* Doesn't everyone do that? I've always done it, it's very calming and comforting.
personal canon meme
Kevin of course!

Date: 2007-10-01 04:41 pm (UTC)I do that too. Some of those scenarios might be a little bit Mary Sue-ish *g*.

Date: 2007-10-01 07:59 pm (UTC)mmm, I love autumn when it's like that. not like it is right here, right now, which is just wet and gloomy.
also, I want to try some Lush things, sometime. My mom never wanted me to use them, cause--- well cause she gets weird ideas about certain things, and she was sure the products would be bad for my skin or something. :p
no subject
Date: 2007-11-04 11:52 am (UTC)I'd use everything Lush if I could. Sadly I don't have the money to do so, so just get a few things.
I hope you get to use some things soon.

..CJ started it; Ima have to finish:
Give me three "facts" you consider to be canon for Dean Winchester.
Hey, it doesn't have to be characters you've written (and you actually have written them, yay!), just characters you're a fan of and thus have your own unique impressions of, right?
