Sleepless in Scotland

TMI time With Melle: I'm cramping and I want to go hoooooome. *sulks*

Okay, people, somebody pimp some fic at me? I want to print out some stories to read while I go and lie on the grass during my breaks, as long as the weather stays this way. It's too hot to actually walk around, and I've made it a mission to get something resembling a tan by the time I go home in August, so my mother will refrain from mentioning how pale I look and I should get out more, blah blah blah motheringcakes. Anyway. Recs? Anyone?

Also, ( a (not quite) pointless poll. )

Happy birthday to ktnb!

I'm feeling a bit weird today, will probably be spending tonight napping and/or cleanin or ... something. Or maybe I'll just go on a reading binge; I suddenly found myself wanting to re-read old Metallica slash this morning, and metslash is blocked from here, so the craving has only grown. (And yes, this is an invitation for random recs. :D All fandoms welcome, pretty much, though I'm not known for my love of anime, so.)

Speaking of Metallica slash^*, go read and contribute to the stories of Crazy People In Fandom!

^* Watch my entire friendslist except a handful of people go "Huh?" at that segue, ahahaha!

Also, ( that comment meme. )

So I'm idly browing Yuletide, and um. I think I may have finally found a fandom in which I cannot read slash. Mark your calenders, everyone. Heh.

Also, hey, someone wrote S:AaB fic this year, yay!

[ETA] And yet, Pippi Longstocking threesome fic? No problem! The Once and Future King slash? Glee! I am a freak and should just get over it and read the damned Tintin story already.[/ETA]

Link of the Day: Cutest Firefly fic I've read in a while. Kittens, people!

Heh. I've apparently gone invisible, as one of my co-workers just asked "Hey, where's Sofie, is she on holiday?" I'm right here, people! *pokes self to make sure I'm still corporeal and stuff* Yup, all here.

Speaking of corporeality (is that a word), there's been another fake LJ death, and I feel like I should reassure you all that a) I am, in fact, real, and b) in case I get run over by a bus or something tomorrow, there will be confirmation from local LJers, at least. I also left instructions for my parents to make sure people know what happened, so if I die, you'll know it's for real.

Oh, and sort of back on the subject of work (because that's all I really write about these days: work and porn, porn and work, and occasionally, a little crack), ( I rage. A lot. And irrationally. )

Also, GIP! Thanks, sparklebutch!

Randomly: Jean-Paul/Bobby pimp.

So much to do. Gah. Stuff for the RPG, rewriting of an entire scene of the Hooker AU, e-mails, and maybe at some poit I could start on editing/rewriting the NaNovel. Gaaaah. And that's not even counting housework and cleaning and shit. I need to organise my life. As soon as I manage to find two braincells to rub together. Mreh.

Yay, part 36 of The Archer is up! Viggo is an idiot! Finally someone else is acknowledging it! :D

In other news, for the first time in ... years, possibly a decade or more, I'm wearing a skirt for other reasons than that it's too hot for trousers. I feel weird.

OMG Brother Cadfael slash <3

OKay. Fine. Fine. I give!

Hey, comic people on my friendslist? Anyone want to give a girl some pointers on how to get into this fandom? You know what kind of thing I like, I'm assuming, and I've sporadically read X-Men in the past, so I at least know who the players are, there. Well, sort of.

ETA: If it helps, from reading scans_daily, I seem to be developing an odd affection for this Bart fellow. Hm.

Anyone want to reccomend me some free ebooks to read? Or anything I don't have to pay for and can download to my iPod to read. I'm especially thinking of catching up on some English and/or American children's classics. Like Narnia. Is that still in the public domain?

SO I recently decided that I'm not going to worry about writing until my life is back on track. These are not the sort of circumstances under which I can be creative. I am, however, starting to get an itch do do something productive, and so I shall be working on websites and stuff this week.

Including setting up a HP Recs Site For People With Taste, except it won't be called that, and really, I just want to have a central place where people with very differenct tastes in pairings and style and content, can recc stories. Not open to all, but with a very mixed "staff", so to speak. I talked about this before, but the software side always worked against me. I think I can make it work, now.

Also, HP Theories. The problem will be deciding whether to start with theories and ramblings on individual people and work my way up/out towards the general Hogwarts and Wizarding World theories, or vice versa. I'm leaning towards the latter.

I think I need to make a list of things I want to do, I think. Because I keep thinking "Ooh, I need to do this and I should work on that and I want to do the other thing, and then it slips my mind.

Also, a list of things I want to do/get once my life settles in, like buy a new computer, take some uni courses, perhaps self-defense classes, things like that.
