Bleak House - LDl&E/MotherDaughter
So everyone's pretty glad I finally caught up and got into The X-Files, eh? :D

Everything after Ice is like... awesome. Like they took a few episodes to warm up and now it's all brilliant. Eve is my TOTAL favourite so far. Ice was awesome (esp. grabbing and showing necks - how innocent and yet HOW SHIPPERY!) but Eve was just... omg. Evil children, Harriet Sansom Harris!!!! Um, wait - her name is Harriet Harris? Oh that's just MEAN!

Anyway, Eve is the most awesome so far. Followed by Ice. Then Space. Because hai, Susanna Thompson? Love.

Teeheehee.

I had a dream last night where I was pregnant. And I was like "Fuck!" I mean, I got myself pregnant on purpose, I thought it would be a good idea, and then I was like "Wait, what? I'm going overseas in October! Then I'm meant to start uni! And I have no real job! What the fuck am I DOING?" and then I was like "I can't kill my baby, even though apparently it's too late for an abortion HOW TIME DOES FLY IN THIS WORLD omg what the hell..."

So that was a bit... I was happy when I woke up. Not being pregnant.

But you know I probably am now. After watching TXF till 2 and then going to bed and having pregnancy dreams. And it will be a SCARY ALIEN BABY FROM THE PLANET KRYPTON! On no wait, then it would be Superman. Hm.

Um, [info]sparklebunny?

X-Files for the WIN.

I'm having so much fun! I hope the movie puts you in a generous fandomy mood (as if you aren't always like that) because man, am I going to need more and fast. Scully and Mulder really jump on in there with their relationship, ey? Like, in Bones, there's reasonable flirting and stuff but the build up is so long and arduous - these two are like "Okay, we heart each other and that!" And Booth touches Brennan's back and escorts her around but Mulder is like... CONSTANTLY touching Scully.

0.0 My little fangirl brains, they explode. And I'm loving spotting people I know. I was like HEY SETH GREEN AHA!!! And Felicity Huffman? So funny.

Ice is most awesome. So many shows/movies have ripped off that scenario since. I suppose they couldn't resist the awesome.

AND THE CREDITS, THEY ARE SO BAD!!!! Bahahahaha!!!! Oh man...

But can someone explain to me why Deep Throat was called Deep Throat? I get the movie reference but... okay, my brain is throwing something up here... it was the code name for some big secret government thing? Is that why?

Anyway, totally loving it. Gillian is so short! I completely... I did not realise how short she is!!! And hee, I love that she has FLESH. Those calves and her FACE omg, she has fat, it's fabulous. Not like FAT fat, but real fat. It's like... wow, go Gillian. I want to DESTROY whoever thought shoulderpads on women was a good idea but apart from that, YAY!

David looks so weird without wrinkles. He's so... smooth, it's scary.

Ah, it's all so intense and awesome!! Thank you for getting me into it! I lover you!!!

(p.s. when Scully was checking um um Felicity Huffman's character in Ice... I fell over with the femslash. Not even in a "Aha, semi-naked chicks. Femslash." way, in a "OMG LOOK AT THE LOOK SHE'S GIVING HER I DON'T CARE IF IT'S BECAUSE SHE'S OKAY, FEMSLASH FEMSLASH FEMSLASH!!!!" way)

Melatonin is OTC? [info]emthefrootloop AND [info]qfemale AND [info]schnoogle knew this! Well, they would. Omg, that bastard doctor of mine! He's been writing me scripts and... well, maybe that was so we could claim it on Medicare? Or... something? Watch me give him the benefit of the doubt.

Anyway.

The other thing about the SSTIs Will Fix Angela thing is that I got some really nice feedback on that fic I wrote and it made me wonder if I'm actually fine. I mean, I wrote 9 pages of reasonably good fiction - how fucked up can my brain be? Don't answer that. But yeah. And what if I DID start taking something meant to make me work better and it took away that little bit of ability I managed to scrape together?

I wish I could just go away and live in the Addams house for a few days.

But P.S. I just watched The X-Files for the first time EVER. At 18. How sad.

(well, I saw some of an episode when I was about 7 as I was falling asleep... somewhere. There was like a van? Or a truck or a shipping container? And lots of smoke and white lights

Answer is a really, really weird word. ANSWER. Read it. My god, look at that word! An-swer.

I had a dream last night that was a cross between Bones, Gossip Girl, Kathy Reich's second novel (Death du jour), Grey's Anatomy and like... Transylvania/dark ages England.

I know, right?

It was pretty awesome. Emily Deschanel was there and I think David might have been but it was probably Dan Humphrey still. And there was a gay funfair by the water. Totally cool.
Wednesday - sleep/camp/awake
I wrote fic! I know, right? Guh. It was an ... interesting process. I explained to [info]deliriums_fish and she was perfectly theatrical in her responses (when you discuss explaining fandom to a 62 year old parent, there HAVE to be some horrified noises) and very sweet. Also, I stole some of the title from her journal! It's probably from Here Lies Jenny... what do I mean, probably. And hey, Bebe's wiki says she's already DONE the Addams Family reading but the article I read said it would be in August! Bastards, what? Explain, intarnets!
No wait, this instead. [info]lolly_a_holic liked it, which makes me ridiculously smiley.

Title
: Spiders on Skin (Blood, Sugar, Coal)
Rating: NC-17
Fandoms Crossed: The Addams Family/NCIS
Pairings/Characters: Morticia Addams/Abby Sciuto
Prompt: babysitter (I know, I'm dirty)
Warning: Some violence/blood play and obviously the age gap
Summary: Abby's services as a babysitter are required at the Addams household. What an extraordinary fit... in more ways than one.
Author's Notes: (Or Angela sucks at summaries!) Set about three years before The Addams Family and about 15 years before NCIS. So no real spoilers for either. But certain facts have been incorporated, obv.

*watches Fingersmith*

I think I've seen this before. On the ABC. With mum. And I remember parts of it but ha, I seem to have blocked out the lesbian stuff. Probably a by-product of the whole watching it with mother thing.

Anyway... *goes back to Fingersmith*

Edit: Why yes, I remember this! Hm.

CiC - Mack/Tall/Courtyard
Just quietly, I may or may not be having a go at some fic for the 19th. Just quietly.

So to cover that up - HELLO F'LIST, HOW ARE YOU? Specifically, how are you, [info]the_girl_20? Not feeling femslashy or crossover-y? Because I wrote a prompt specifically for you in that ficathon and what, no comment? I know, I know - crossovers are filled with mind fucks but there are so many BG/SVU prompts! And other things too! And one we may have discussed in the past, to do with BG/New Tricks, even.

And besides all that, you're a good writer and there are so many nice prompts with no owners :( But I will shush now. Oh but hey, did you add me on FF.net? Like, recently? Because a Scottish girl did and she seems the right age and everything but... CSI? And no WMC or anything else telling I can remember? Hm.

Watch, oh watch me not put pressure on [info]geonncannon. Because he's a PROFESSIONAL WRITER and he's BUSY with that (punctuate each word with a slap to the forehead and that's basically what I've been doing every time I look at the claims list). See? Am very good. No pressure at all. But say he wanted a little break from original fiction and maybe a quick dip into fandom (two at once, even), he might want to go have a skim of the claims list.
Maybe.

As for real life? Am still in that odd little... place I was before. Which makes it very difficult to organise things, as I'm paying for my tickets on Saturday (netball, too! YAY!) I'm hoping the insane number of spaceship lollipops I'm eating will give me a huge burst of energy sometime tonight and I will email everyone and organise things. Real food? Energy? Hm. Maybe. I've been making myself salads, that's good, right?

Righ. Positive thinking. I shall now upload some music for you guys. There. Positive. <-- That sounds like the least positive thing EVER but it will be brilliant because this is awesome music this is. I shall return.

I've discovered something cool. First of all, my local library has actually got it's own website now, instead of this completely dodgy one attached to the council website. Second of all, you can renew books online instead of having to go down there! How cool is that?

Doesn't really make up for the fact that they now DO NOT OPEN BEFORE 10 AM. I mean, I'm not likely to go to the library before 10 am but it's nice to have the option and I KNOW there are people who do. It's ridiculous. 10-6 on weekdays, 10-2 on Saturday and something even worse on Sunday which I disremember. I mean, lazy bastards.

Speaking of lazy, it probably would've been good for me to walk to the library and back tomorrow (books due back) but this way I don't have to walk along the main road. I *should* go for a walk, so I'll probably go down to the corner shop, buy some spaceship lollipops and maybe bring my ball to do some shooting practice at school. Oh, perhaps I shall walk past Emily's new house!

Anyway, this isn't all I came to tell you *shock, horror* I've found something really funny, besides the pretty awesome website. Well, it's on the pretty awesome website. My borrowing history, going back to like... 2003, which must be about when I got my first card.

Now that I think about it, it's kinda creepy. Especially considering all the books I would NOT want mum to know I was reading. But have some samples!

2003

Okay, it seems all I borrowed in '03 were books on the Aztecs, the Incas and monologues for women/teenage girls. Hm. Nerd.

The Secret Oceans was actually really good, though.

Yeah, I think I must have borrowed my dodgiest books from the school library or something - these aren't very interesting. But yeah, it's sort of amusement tempered with a Big Brother uneasiness that my record can just be accessed from any computer, if you have my member number and pin. Or an admin log in. Hm.

Anyway, bed.

Bernard - Grumpy/Irish/Bastard
So I totally have a thing for Lily van der Woodsen. I love that she's such a bitch but she slowly reveals her softer, sweeter side (witness coming to get Dan for the ball, helping with the Christmas tree, telling Rufus to take a hike because of Serena). And also, I mean, she's totally gorgeous. So yep, I has another older, blonde, female .... FICTIONAL CHARACTER crush. Hmph.

And I don't really know where this came from and it happened before the talk of weddings but I fully ship Chuck/Lily. More when he was all wounded and sad about his dad being a tool rather than being a dickhead to Serena but still.

Is there such a thing as good Chuck/Lily fic?

I'm a little stress ball, short and stout...

Anyway, I have Amelia for SEVEN HOURS on Sunday. Dude. Amirite? 3 year old, seven hours. But hey, that's MONEY (only $105 but still money... I shouldn't say *only* but I'm kinda freaked out about the huge amount I'm putting out for the tickets on Saturday) and she can be entertained for long periods of time just watching Astroboy. But damn, I have GOT to learn how to use that DVD player. Felt like a complete idiot after last time.

You should all see my cat. He's lying in front of the heater (something he is slowly learning to do because he's got big scars and so isn't too keen on being close to the heat with all his unprotected skin showing) with his head upside down and his paws all flopped. He looks so cute.

Speaking of cats, I couldn't help myself. Mum sent it to me and by god, it's funny.



It does occur to me that some people could find that offensive (no one on my f'list is Catholic so I think the risk is minimal) but I laugh because of the historical significance. It's funny. But yeah, I do also kinda laugh because aha, those crazy Catholics.
