Beans Are Evil

[ozmissage]

* I suck at commenting this week unless it involves comment fic. Maybe Lost will jolt me out of my malaise? I hope so, cause crappy mood is crappy. Also were we all aware that there’s no new Lost next week? I do not approve of this development.

* So remember how I was wringing my hands over the new Doctor a few months ago? I believe I said Smith was too young to play the role and it was going to suck and I wanted Ten back…I’m an idiot. Just putting that out there.

Eleven is brilliant, like mind-blowingly-I-would-follow-this-guy-off-a-cliff brilliant. I watched the first episode twice in a twenty-four hour period and I promise you I will be watching it again before Saturday. And Amy Pond! I already love this woman. I love her because she lives in a small town and spends all of her time looking at the stars, because she doesn’t want to settle, because she’s a little screwed up and her life isn’t going the way she wants it too and because she has red hair.

Also there were lens flares and cracks in the wall and bowties. *hearts*

Is it Saturday yet?

* I went to see Date Night last weekend and it was right up my alley humor wise. It also made me realize something sad but true about myself: I like my relationships like I like my couches…comfy and worn in. This is true in my fiction and my real life. I don’t like those OMG we can’t keep our hands off each other, I love you/I hate you things. They exhaust me and bore me. I just want to see two people who love each other hang out and make fun of the super kissy couple at the next table. Is that too much to ask universe? You know for me and for the fictional people I love?

All this is to say: Steve Carell/Tina Fey= OTP. I now want Liz/Michael fic. That should be a thing.

* Kate Nash has a new CD out today! Oh how I adore that woman and her delightfully boppy, British pop music.

*Hey I wrote stuff! I’m going to put this here so I can locate everything later.

Whoa, look at all your fic! I have some catching up to do reading wise, but you are awesome. I can't wait to check them out. :)

I join in your Who squee. I have a few small issues, but overall, I'm enjoying those two very, very much. :)

Comment fic is super addictive. Once I started I couldn't stop.

I have a couple of little issues: I must admit I wasn't crazy about the fact that she was getting married, but that's mostly because I'm growing weary of all the companions being married off. And that one weird, Doctor POV shot threw me a bit. But other than that I was squeeing all over the place. :D

(Love your icon, BTW.)

I am totally going to start writing you something tonight love. I meant to yesterday but the jack/claire I wrote for lenina20 just kept getting longer and longer and so I didn't have the time! Soon as I am home from work, you're next on my list! This is so fun!

[ozmissage.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

No worries, my dear! I keep failing at keeping things at comment length. It's so hard to stop once you get going. :D

[crickets.livejournal.com]

That's the first one I went over on, lol. But I have decided it's a good thing. The rest I've been fairly good at keeping under the limit.

I want to go read your Alex/Richard right now but I'm at work and I don't know if I should...

Temptation.

[missy-useless.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry you're feeling crappy. *big hugs*

Oh, and I'll catch up with your fic later. Will you be posting these ficlets in your own journal eventually?

[ozmissage.livejournal.com]

*Hugs back*

I don't even know what is...I just feel kind of down this week. I'll watch Doctor Who again later, I'm sure that'll cheer me up. ;)

I think I will re-post a few of them, the longer ones especially (I keep failing at keeping my comment fics comment length.)

[aurilly.livejournal.com]

Wow, you're making me want to give the new series a try. I had decided not to bother since John Simm won't be coming back.

Look at you being all productive! I've written four, but there's this one I started that is turning into some 4000 word epic. Boo!

[ozmissage.livejournal.com]

It's off to a really good start. I'm such a sucker for this show though.

OMG, a 4,000 word epic! *is impressed*

I just keep making Jack and Miles hook up with everyone...now I just need to find someone who wants to read Jack/Miles and I'll call it a day. ;)

[maelstrom815.livejournal.com]

I'd read anything with Miles in it:)

[ozmissage.livejournal.com]

Heh. Miles goes with everything. Like ketchup. ;)

[blackmamba-esq.livejournal.com]

I'm gonna check out some of those fics. The pairings look awesome :)

And yes, Doctor Who &hearts

I like established couples too. The boy meets girl thing is fine if done right, but I've always had a thing for the kind of angst/romance/issues that come with long time couples. I get really protective.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. There's just something so nice about a relationship that feels lived in, it's not new and shiny but runs so much deeper. I think that's why I tend to ship friends, there's something endlessly appealing about having that comfort level turn into something romantic. <3

[elliotsmelliot.livejournal.com]

I now want Liz/Michael fic.

That would be awesome!

[ozmissage.livejournal.com]

They're always looking for someone to settle down with and they're both kind of spazzy...I think it could work. ;)

[bold-seer.livejournal.com]

HOW THE HELL ARE YOU ALL SO PRODUCTIVE?

(Sorry for the caps; I'm freaking out about other things. Just a bit. I'm not sure whether stress suits me or not.)

[ozmissage.livejournal.com]

Heh. I think it's actually the opposite of productivity...I should so being doing real life stuff and yet I can't stop writing fic. ;)

Oh no, I hope everything's okay! Stress always sucks.

[bold-seer.livejournal.com]

But if I'm more or less failing at both? :/

Thank you. I sort of crave stress, because without it, I would never do anything. But then it makes me anxious - more so than usual - and irritable.

I hope your crappy mood passed!

<3

[mollivanders.livejournal.com]

I must go check out Kate Nash :) Have you introduced you to Lara Marling yet? Just in case I haven't (she's my British artist, right now), here's Ghosts which leads you to her other music. She has a very Suliet feel to her, now that I think about it.

I feel under the weather so I might not be making heaps of sense right now :p

You are so out-writing me right now for comment fic. Now that LOST is out of the way I can focus on that at night.

[ozmissage.livejournal.com]

Oh no, you're sick too? You're the third person on the flist who said they were coming down with something. *hugs* I hope you feel better soon!

Ooh, I think I like this Lara Marling person. She has a lovely voice, and you're right there's a definite S/J vibe going on there.

Comment fic is addictive. Although I'm mostly just attempting to make Jack and Miles sleep with every other character on the show. So far Jack has hooked up with Juliet, Sun, Claire, Boone, and Sam Winchester. Miles meanwhile has slept with Juliet (twice), Richard, and Dan. I think later I'll make them hook up with each other just for the hell of it. ;)

Booo, sorry you're not feeling so great! Those bleeeeergh feelings can be up and down, I find, and hopefully they're fleeting this time -- I find candy and cheesy movies/TV and snuggling up in my bed usually does the trick. ;P I was feeling pretty down the other weekend and when I went over to a girlfriend's house and walked in the door, she immediately handed me Diet Coke, chocolate ice cream and a bad romantic comedy, lol.

Ooooh, Date Night! Glad you give it the seal of approval -- I seriously can't wait to see it. *draws hearts around Steve Carell and Tina Fey* And I'm exactly the same way -- some people love the rush of dating, but I'm all about when a relationship gets to the comfy stage. I'd rather feel at home with someone than that constant need to impress, etc.

Wow, epic amounts of fic! :D I can't wait to read it all -- I'm so disappointed I wasn't able to take part in Five Acts; I read the prompts and they were so great, but I'm usually only checking my LJ at work these days and that's ... not so compatible with my office Internet connection. ;D Plus I tried to start one or two and they just weren't working; everything was feeling a little stale, y'know? But it's awesome to see so many people taking part!

[ozmissage.livejournal.com]

Aww, your friend sounds awesome! I do love a good bad romantic comedy.

I'm feeling better, I'm just getting so tired of standing still in my life and it gets to me sometimes...and then I get grouchy.

I thought Date Night was adorable. I mean it's pretty mainstream, but it's so nice to see a comedy about married folks for a change and Carel and Fey play off of each other so well. <3

I'm sad you couldn't take part, but I know things are crazy busy for you right now. It's been a fun meme though, I couldn't seem to stop once I started. :)
