We are shining stars

WE'RE HITTING THE HOME STRETCH~

( Only one more after this! Except tomorrow 357 will probably come out, so there'll actually be two. )

"Giving them MANY, MANY MORE QUESTIONS!!!"

( 'IT'S BRILLIANT! THERE'S NO WAY THIS CAN GO WRONG!' )

It's a new week, I finally finished and posted my insane time travel fic, and I hold in my hands a fresh and delicious bagel. It's good to be alive! So now I will get back to work on the rest of those trick-or-treat dares.

From chesauroshin: I want you to do one of your crazy reviews on a Gokudera-centric chapter. I love crack, but you also get points for making me wibble.

Fucking yes! I'd do this even without the incentive of a shiny new treat.

( KHR 61, a.k.a. 'Vongola Nono Trolls Gokudera for the Lulz' )

Pathetic, I know, but I couldn't help it when I was waiting on the edge of my seat for updates on the last chapter's dire circumstances.

( Although if anything, the updates turned out to be even more dire. :( )

Also, I would like to use this opportunity to pass along birthday wishes to mibelle26, lampazo_libre, fuchi_conejo, and viridianphoenix, despite the fact that only one of these wishes is actually on time. Sorry. XD But Happy Birthday, guys! ♥

From poisontea:

Give me a character from any fandom you know that I know and I will tell you:

a. My favorite thing about that character.
b. My least favorite thing about that character.
c. One person I would ship them with in their own verse.
d. One crossover ship for them I think would be neat.
e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater.
f. Their ship from hell.
g. Their song.
h. The title of their biography or autobiography.
i. The last bad dream they had.
j. How they're gonna shuffle off the mortal coil, if they haven't already.


Man but I love character memes.

(Also, thanks to valorously and o_melody_nelson for the snowflake cookies. ♥)

ETA: LOL, for some reason LJ's not sending comment notifications, so I didn't realize anyone had replied until I logged in again and HELLO, WHAT'S THIS? XD Ilu guys. <3
ETA 2: OFF TO BED NOW, will finish these tomorrow. and maybe someone will take pity on me and give Gokudera some love too? Just, you know, so I have extra motivation to finish...! Yes. XD

OH MY GOD I'M FINALLY DONE. XDDD This was way too much fun, though. ♥

Sometimes... there are just no words.

( But not this time. There are lots of words this time. )

This is something I snagged from cleartempest millions of years ago. It's called the Drabble-Matic and is basically like madlibs for bad fanfiction. I came across it while I was cleaning out my bookmarks, and proceeded to have FUN LIKE YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE. THIS THING IS AMAZING.

( There is beautiful, traumatizing fanfic below this cut. )

1. ( I had a weird dream last night... )


2. You know, it's not like I've been thrilled with the GOP lately as it is (especially with all of the ongoing health care BS), but this is really sinking to a new level of ridiculousness. "OH MY GOD THE PRESIDENT'S TELLING CHILDREN TO STAY IN SCHOOL AND WORK HARD--SOMEBODY STOP HIM!!" Frankly, this is completely baffling to me. There is nothing insidious about telling kids to study hard and try their best in school. Yet inexplicably, pretty much the unanimous GOP response is "OMG SOCIALISM!!1" Some of the people in the comments section for that article are even talking about keeping their children home from school tomorrow. Good idea, keep your kid at home on the first day of school just so her impressionable young mind isn't warped by the evil President's agenda. BRILLIANT.

The text of the speech has been released (PDF is here), and it's actually pretty good as far as these things go. Anyway, sorry; I don't usually rant about political things in this journal, but that's really been eating away at my patience for the last couple of days. THIS IS WHY STEWART AND COLBERT NEED TO COME OFF OF HIATUS ALREADY. I need people to make fun of this stuff so that I don't go insane. XD


3. HAPPY LABOR DAY, ALL. I'M GOING TO GO TO THE PARK WITH MY BABY SIS AND PLAY ON THE SWINGS LIKE THE SIX-YEAR-OLD I AM.

1. Because I fail as always, Happy Belated Birthday cleartempest and leriko_rasen! (And xshoutitloudx, too. ♥) MANY HAPPY RETURNS TO YOU ALL.

2. Boy, Dino, you sure make it easy to reuse this tag. XD

( Brief thoughts on KHR character rankings and loltastic hairdos. )


3. And on a political note, lol this crazy world.

You... don't really have to name your kid after McCain and Palin to get the word out about their campaign. orz

Well, just three weeks to go. XD

...maybe. Someday. :|

( Cut for irredeemable fanbabble and mild KHR 199 spoilers )
