(no subject)

Thank you to everyone who posted such lovely things on the 'things I like about you' post. I was feeling a little blah last night so every comment was much appreciated. It was so cool to see people who I've known for years alongside new friends. I'm so lucky in the people I'm surrounded with, and I hope you all know how much I appreciate that.

And that's all I've got. So tell me flist of mine. What are you writing right now? Reading? Drawing? Doing? Anything fun?

I'm glad the meme was a pick-me-up for you! I never do those memes because I think no one will respond besides not being a meme kind of girl.

I wish I was reading/writing/doing other fun stuff! This week is just work drudgery. It's a real downer after last week's excitement. My most fun thing is rewatching the clip of Frankie rapping. I'm obsessive that way.

Those kind of memes are shameless attention seeking really, but sometimes that's just what you need. But you know, if you do ever do that kind of meme I'll so be there showering you with affection. Whether you want it or not. Multiple other people too I bet.

Gah, work isn't fun at all. Still, Frankie rapping is an awesome thing to compulsively watch. I have to admit, I've been compulsively watching Brendon do a standing back flip. Just, guh!

Well, I talked to my contact Åke this morning, and he'd get back to me either today or tomorrow. And now when I came back from lunch, his co-worker who was the one who told me of this job in the first place was here to check on me. I told her my concerns, and she'd talk to Åke about it.

The one who's really supposed to be my supervisor is home today due to arthritis, and I still don't really feel like I'm getting through to my other boss, but we'll see. Also, out of less than three work hours, I've been completely alone in the office for over 1h 20 mins...which is against the rules.

I'm hopeful, though, since Helena said we need to have a meeting - and soon.

*nods* Exactly.

Still, yes it does sound hopeful.
It really does. The one thing I'm worried about is that the company will see me as disloyal when I tell the job center about things I'd like to change.

They're lucky to have you.
They really are. With the right support, I'm a big asset. Heck, with the wrong support I'm pretty darned good, too. ;)

They should give you the support you need.

Everything I'm doing at the moment is a secret. Or totally not fun.

But! Everyday on my way home now, I think of you! Isn't that fun?

There's a yard with a weird--it's probably an eagle, but it's a really malformed eagle--winged statue right by the driveway. And I think, "OMG! Dragon! It's probably got a dead body gripped in its claws! It's stolen from the Way's garden in Terri's fic! Heee~~"

The glamorous life of international spydom does get a little tedious sometimes. That's why I resort to fanfic. ;)

(Actually, why I used to write under several pennames was because I did have a secret fan identity for a while. Like... even some people that I chatted to on an every-day basis didn't know I was both screennames. I would have told them, but... the first time my alter-ego posted something to the mailing list, two of my chat friends were all "OMG, what a total bitch! Hatehatehate." And I wasn't brave enough to tell them the truth. But I gave it up after a couple years. Too much drama. And I decided to just be my bitchy old self.)

So, anyway. Yes. I am a spy. A happy, gardening AU spy.
ext_1650: (chris purple.)

[identity profile] turps33.livejournal.com 2008-05-14 01:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I imagine it would be tedious. Go steal some state secrets, blow up a few places, come home and write about boybanders having hot sex. I see how it goes.

That does sound like a load of drama. I would have been torn between being mortified and pissed off in that chat. Still, being yourself has to be the best thing

Though I can see the appeal of having different pen names. I often ponder about writing something ridiculous and posting it to one of the communities that gobble up the badfic. I mean, it wouldn't work in popslash because the fandom is too close-knit, but elsewhere. It could work.

Your icon! I love it so.

[identity profile] llamabitchyo.livejournal.com 2008-05-14 01:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Very tedious. ;) That's why I live for the hot-boybander sex moments. And washing the cat, of course.

(Isn't it a great icon? And I barely get a chance to use it any more, except for you!)

My attitude toward badfic has changed a lot. It used to get me all riled up and now I'm pretty laid back about it. Some of it amuses me a lot. And the rest. Well, there's got to be a reason why it's that popular. So let them read badfic--just so long as there's still good stuff for me to read.

You can do the Sex-slave/tentacle fic under an assumed name! You know you want to. *g*

[identity profile] turps33.livejournal.com 2008-05-14 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Badfic is something I enjoy reading, but in a very different way to the good stuff. I mean, sometimes stories are so ridiculous that you just have to read and boggle that the writer thought the idea was good. ( Yes Panic story, I'm talking about you ) Others contain my bullet proof kinks, and in that case I'll read the most OOC stuff just to get that hit.

The thing is though, these stories do get comments, lots of them, so people obviously enjoy on a non-badfic level. Because they're crazy like that.

You know me too well! Like this maybe?

Title: Alien v Mikeyway
Author: mikeyluvsme
POV: Mikey's
Notes: Mikey is 16 in this, cos I want him to be.

Mikey shivered as teh tenticle crept closer! The chains around his willowy wrists and ankles had rubed his skin raw and blood trickled down his alabaster skin as he tried to back away.

It came closer!

Whimpering he felt the slick end of tenticle touch his hole. He gasped as it pushed into him, filling him up with green slimy flesh that pulsated. Eyes screwed shut he thought of Gerard. Gerard would come and save him! Gerard always saved him!

A single tear slid down Mikeys face as another tenticle wrapped around his rod, humiliation rearing as the crowd yelled in appoval.

Where was Gerard!?

~*~*~*~

Will Gerard come for Mikey!? If you like it I may write more!

The phone thing was sitcom-like in its hilarity. I could have watched them for hours, but that would have been cruel! My uncle gave the phone to my grandad for 'emergencies' about four years ago and all he uses it for is to call taxis when he's been out and about in Brighton at a RAFA do or a meeting of the cactus society (don't ask!) he's the chairman of - which is fine, except that a) he didn't realise he needed to put credit on it and b) he uses it so rarely that the network he was on obviously decided he didn't use it at all and disconnected him. Which is what it turns out was the problem. LOL. (So we took a trip to Haywards Heath and I marched him into the Orange store and got him set up with a new sim card, topped up his phone and then, when we got back to his house, found the nearest top up place and showed him how that works. With a lot of help from the shopkeeper who, luckily, knows him and has promised to help him out when he needs it.)

Woo, I'm rambly today.

Fic - the fic I am betaing is a Lost fic so you probably wouldn't be interested anyway. The fic I am writing is the result of the other fics I am working on refusing to write themselves, thus my brain went to it's default setting and said 'hey, let's write Ryan/Jon'. So I am. In a vague turning into GSF kind of a way. *hands*
