Last night I was amusing myself by thinking of a story where Mikey and Alicia start giving out snuggies as gifts. See, because I like to think they have their own and sit around in them at nights. Like, when it's in the early hours and they're watching infomercials, Piggie asleep at their side and it's all domestic and quiet, so different to their daytime lives, and Mikey's texting Gerard, because Gerard's up with Lindsey and Bandit, just watching them and he's at that stage you get with a young baby, bone tired but happy still and Alicia reading over Mikey's shoulder and is like, we should get them snuggies, not that it's cold in LA but everyone needs a blanket, especially a blanket with arms.

Then it just takes off, they get one for Frank and he hacks a few inches off the bottom because he kept walking in his and tripping over, and Bob, who never actually wears it when anyone can see but it still gets all soft with wear and washing, and Pete, who gets the zebra print pattern, because they both know Pete's someone that can always use a blanket hug and soon everyone in bandom has one. Ryan opening a package one day and he doesn't even know Mikey and Alicia, not really, but there's a note saying, keep your head up. Ryan wears his with beads and a matching leopard print hat, and Brendon uses his like a cape until no one's watching then he turns it around the right way and cuddles in.

I don't even know, man. It keeps me occupied anyway.

I got up to some lovely comments about the story I posted yesterday, which was a fantastic surprise. At least I can talk about it now, I'm not used to writing away on my own, and keeping a secret from someone you pretty much talk to daily isn't easy. All I can say is, thank goodness for

sperrywink She listens to every insane idea I have, endlessly encourages me and replies thoughtfully when I shoot off emails such as, *insert list of characters here* Who goes on the rescue mission? Huge amounts of love to her, and

themoononastick who came through for me big time.

Still on the theme of writing, cliche_bingo. I've seen a few people do this now so I'm following their leads because I'm a big old lemming. Behind the cut is my cliche_bingo card and I'd love if you could give me prompts. Bandom only, sorry. I don't promise to write them, but I will consider them for sure, otherwise I'll end up with a whole card full of Mikey/Frank, Mikey/Pete, Mikey/Frank/Pete, which is awesome, don't get me wrong, but I should try and branch out sometimes. This way I can look at the prompts, consider them, and write Mikey/Frank anyway.

I'm giving myself a cap of a few thousand words for these otherwise I'll never finish, and the secrets and lies prompt is already taken. Other than that, anything goes, including variations of Mikey, Pete and Frank.

Mikey made himself Piggy Bucks. How is he even real?

Kerrang is playing Avenged Sevenfold vs Guns N' Roses at the moment. November Rain is at number two, which makes me wonder what Avenged song can beat NR. Ha, Kerrang have pulled a fast one, they've alternated bands from #20 but at #1 is Knocking on Heaven's Door.

We're off out with nanna and her friend later. Nanna's friend, Vi, is such a lovely woman and I enjoy seeing her. She's the one who, when she was up last time and it started showering went back to the car, got my coat and started putting it on me. I tell you, to those two I remain ten years old. I also get to go for a ride in the hire car we have right now. Yesterday was a day of frustration about getting ours fixed, and while motabilty pays for a hire car we needed to find the money for a deposit ourselves. You know, one day something like that won't be a huge thing to sort out. That'll be a good day.

Oh man, the snuggies thing is adorable! ♥

I just think of all of bandom in snuggies and it makes me laugh.

Like, they send one to Jon, maybe with a cat pattern, and he wanders around in it, his little bare feet sticking out at the bottom, and then picks up his bass and sits down and just strums out a song in this ridiculous blanket with arms.

Oh man, someone needs to stop me.

I'm slightly creeped out by the snuggies thing, tbh. Footed pjs, on the other hand, are cool.

Prompts:
Minor Characters - Matt Cortez. Which should obviously be combined with the matchmaker/yentas prompt. :D

I like the idea of combining the emails/letters [twitter/texts] prompt with the roadtrips one -and I think there should be a Gerard involved in that.

Festivals - The first thing that springs to mind, unsurprisingly, is Day of the Dead. Which makes me think of Mexico and of filming The Black Parade is Dead. [The Mexico show was filmed in early October, so technically you could have sugar skulls and such in the stores. Yeah, yeah... it's possible I'm grasping a bit. ;P]

Crossovers - I really, really think you need to write that CSI crossover... moar Greggo!

But snuggies! They're blankets with arms!

But yeah, footie pjs are good too.

I'm shocked you've picked Matt *g* But yes, good combination.

I don't know why but the roadtrip and emails/letters has gone to Gerard plus Bandit in my head. A solo father/daughter trip documented through generalised tweets and more specific emails. Really all I want is Gerard changing diapers in the back of his car.

The Day of the Dead fits them nicely. You're asking me for Frank feeding Mikey sugar skulls, right? That's what I'm seeing *g*

Dude, yes! I could combine with the death. Bump someone off.
