Faveskies book, eh? Well, I love reading so I had to think about this one for a while. I don't define it as a book I know by heart, but as a book I could pick up any time, any place, and settle in wherever I picked it up and enjoy it. A book I'm deeply fond of, no matter what. A book, in short, that I have that is dog-eared and well-loved and that I have read many, many times.

It's not a Terry Pratchett book.

So my favorite movie is, without question, Iron Man with my lover and boyfriend Robert Downey Jr. :D If you haven't seen it, we are no longer friends.


And my favorite TV show is . . . I dunno. I like House, I really do. But I also like Ghost Hunters, and I LOVE Fringe. But. But there's just nothing out there that beats Community. WATCH IT BITCHES.

So my favorite song is . . . um . . . hard to pin down? I mean I have songs that I favor based on my mood, where I am in life, etc. BUT I really, really have always liked the Rolling Stones' 'You Can't Always Get What You Want'. So here, enjoy. :)

As usual, I lost the italics on the transfer to LJ, but you can deal.

Title: Crossword
Rating: G or whatever
Summary: Grace/Vetinari: THE BEGINNING DUN DUN DUN.

( Crossword )

AND IT'S A VLOG WHUT. Watch me ramble about school, work, horses and Discworld! Yey.

EDIT: looks like it got caught off at the 10 minute mark (ahahaha!) but no matter, the rest of it was stupid and unnecessary anyway. :]

To inform all of you that I'm not dead, I stole a meme from wikdsushi .

1. WITNESS PROTECTION NAME: (mother & father's middle name): Bounds Michael
2. NASCAR NAME: (first name of your mother's dad & father's dad): Wyndsor Michael
3. STAR WARS NAME: (the first 3 letters of your last name, first 2 letters of your first name): Kunas
4. DETECTIVE NAME: (favorite color, favorite animal): Blue Pony

10. STRIPPER NAME: (name of your fav perfume/cologne, fav candy): Diamonds Reeses (ahahaha hideous)

So yeah, everything's fine here. I've been working, drinking, and riding. Oh, and I got my own house now - I have moved out of the parents' place. :D It's like I'm a real-life adult! I love my house too, pictures to come.

And I have not dropped out of school, I'm just really making the best of the summer. :D I haven't had a summer vacation in years! I am going to a party tonight, Hooter's tomorrow night with friends (lol we're so awesome it hurts) and, uh, I think I'm doing something Saturday night. Oh, right, I am taking a friend on a private shopping trip to the store I work at and then we're going out for delicious gourmet pizza (OM NOM NOM NOM). Good times!

So yeah. Not dead. Don't know when I will surface again but if you have an AIM, I'm like, always on there so catch me around. :D

So I made a Sims house last night. The characters were as follows: Adora Belle Dearheart, Moist von Lipwig, Sam Vimes, Sybil Ramkin, Grace Speaker, Havelock Vetinari, Peter Griffin and Lois Griffin. As I was explaining this to my non-DW-loving roommates, the following conversation transpired:

Me: . . . so that's Moist von Lipwig -
Roommates: *lose it*
Me: Yeah, I know, I lol a little bit too every time.
Rach: What's his name?
Me: You guys already -
Katy: Say it again!
Me: Moist von Lipwig.
Rach: *dying of lol* It sounds like a German brand of lube!
All of us: *dead*
Katy: Say it again, I'll translate it!
Me: Moist.
Katy: Moist.
Me: Von
Katy: That means from.
Me: Lipwig.
Katy: That means 'lube'.
Me: So his name translates to 'Moist from Lube?'
All of us: *dead again*
Me: Thanks, bitches, he was my favorite character and now all I'll ever be able to think about in relation to him is lube!
Rach: I'm sorry for ruining your life.

I enjoy our late-night, cable-less, internet-less roommate interactions.

Also, last night I had a dream that I was living with Jon & Kate Plus 8. WTF I DON'T EVEN WATCH THAT SHOW.

Back to my life free of internet. Stolen wireless, our time together must come to an end.

Bee, I will email the collab to you when I have internet again hahaha. :D

I was at work all day and wrote AU Discworld. Enjoyyyyyyyy.

( Welcome to Ankh, Maryland. Enjoy your stay and watch out for the turtles. )
Lost a bunch of italics in the transfer, don't feel like fixing it. Yay being lazy! :D

FILL UP MY CUP, MAZAL TOV!

Last night I flirted for 30 minutes with a Saudi Arabian boy who didn't speak a lot of English on Omegle.

I can't decide if that's a great night or an FML moment.

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing from me (word prompts are good too). In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. (You don't have to, but it would be kinda cool if you did. Just sayin'.)

Oh hooray.

Fandoms: Discworld, Harry Potter, Firefly, The Dresden Files (TV-verse, been awhile since I read the books), Ironman (movie), The Dark Knight, Pirates of the Caribbean, House MD, Fringe, anything Christopher Moore, Doctor Who, etc. etc. If you are disappointed to not see something on this list, ask me anyway. I might have seen/read it and not included it.

Things that will not be honored: Writing about real people, sex, Gilmore Girls

<3 you guyssss.

My college has four "suspected" cases of swine flu. You know what that means . . .

MASS PANIC!

Seriously, I sneezed this morning during class and everyone looked. For the sake of all that is viral, it was a sneeze. And anyway, you wouldn't be able to tell I have the swine flu just by looking at me.

Although I did have a stuffy nose this morning, and a headache, and a cough . . .

OH NO.

Nah. Nose stopped running when I got in the AC (yay allergies), cough is normal, and headache is because I am hungryyyyyyy.

So in conclusion, swine flu is lame, totally treatable if you get your ass to a doctor, and the media is full of shit.

Just thought I'd keep you all posted. ;)

Fall schedule! Annnd here we go:

ANTH101 - Intro to Social and Cultural Anthropology, Tues/Thurs 8am-9:15am
BISC300 - Intro to Molecular Biology, Tues/Thurs 11:00am-12:15pm, Lab Mon 6-9pm
BISC305 - Cell Physiology, Tues/Thurs 2pm-3:15pm
BUAD100 - Intro to Business, online
HDFS201 - Life Span Development, online

LOL I do nothing on Wednesday and Friday. But I applied to be a TA so that might be then, we shall see. I would like it not to be, kind of, so I can work and, you know, pay for my food/rent, but TAing is paid so eh, I think I would be happy either way. And this is my last full semester! D: I am only taking 6 credits next spring, so no more full-time studentage for me until I get my ass back in nursing school. And for those keeping track, yes I am not graduating early anymore, but I also am not taking summer or winter classes. I had a breakdown and decided, you know what? Fuck that. Taking 2 more easy semesters is the way to freaking go.

And that is what is going on in my boring life. I am not dead! I am sure you're all very happy to hear that. :D Oh, and I am leaving tomorrow to go to Kentucky for the Rolex! Yaaaaayyyy! :D

I think my BISC495 prof ships Gilligan/Skipper. To wit:

Prof: Okay, so say everyone on the whole planet but the people on Gilligan's Island die. And it's up to the islanders to repopulate the Earth. Who won't be reproducing?
Student A: Lovey won't.
Prof: Why not?
Student A: She's too old.
Prof: Right, Lovey is presumably post-menopausal and won't reproduce. Who else won't reproduce?
Student B: Gilligan and the Skipper.
Prof: Why?
Student B: . . . Because they're single?
Prof: Right, no, actually it's because they're gay. *class laughs* You laugh and think I'm joking but you all go back and watch that show, you'll see, the Skipper and Gilligan are gay for each other.

Bio Prof ships Gilligan/Skipper OTP.

I won my power and speed class this weekend with 6 time faults lawl. Here is video evidence.


More talking and memes after I get on spring break. <3

I had a fun adventure to the student health offices today. This is the transcription of events, lo and bear witness:

1. I enter building, fill out card. Surly doctor who has treated me in the past is in the waiting room, glowering and muttering at the TV, which is showing one of the NCAA games. He is Displeased. I sit far away to wait.

2. I go to triage for basic info. Find out my resting heart rate is 88, temp is 97.7F and blood pressure is 109/73. I am insane healthy, apparently. Despite the obvious coughing, hacking, sneezing and nasal dripping. I also get to hear another girl in the triage room begin telling her nurse in detail about all her bladder problems, surgeries, sorority scheduling issues, and birth control pills.

3. Go back to the waiting room. Surly doctor is absent, leans in after about 5 minutes, looks Very Unhappy, and leaves.

4. Doctor's assistant for a doctor I have never met before takes me back to the exam room. Takes more basic info, and a family history. I do not know what my father died of and get the very solemn You Should Know These Things lecture. Apparently, having an estranged side of the family is no excuse for not talking to them about their health problems. Assistant rubs my thigh affectionately/awkwardly before she leaves.

5. Doctor enters, asks me why I am not at a party. Apparently the fact that it is only 5:00 does not matter to him. Asks me my plans for the weekend, I tell him horse show. He has a Worried Monologue, in which he tells me how horseback riding is dangerous and he feels concern for all the young ladies riding their great big horses. He then asks where the show is, I tell him I don't really know. He Googles it for me and gives me directions (at this point he entered the running for Best Doctor Ever).

6. I listen to some horseback-rider-patient horror stories.

7. We actually discuss my health problems.

8. I listen to some head-injury horror stories when he sees on my record that I have had a concussion from riding two years ago.

9. We discuss the merits of wearing a helmet.

10. He listens to my breathing.

11. We discuss the town I grew up in and the surrounding area.

12. He diagnoses me with sinusitis and bronchitis.

13. He googles pictures of sinuses and explains to me how they work. Upon finding out that I am a bio major, he goes into more detail and has a little rant about how Mother Nature really fucked up when she evolved the sinuses.

14. He wants to know about my horse, and whether or not she knows when I am sick. Puts her gentler behavior down to 'mammalian camraderie' and her nurturing female instinct.

15. More horseback-rider-patient horror stories. I get prescriptions for antibiotics and codine.

16. Bids me good luck at the show, sends me on my way.

BEST DOCTOR VISIT EVER, Y/Y? He is the mannnnn. I think I might request him from here forth. :D

It makes me afraid for my perfect legal record when my firends steal beers frm bars.

The epilogue for Revolutions is up.

It's all done.

:'(

:D

So I am at work again, bored again. I had a customer but then they left so, uh, now I'm bored. LOL.

So I brought my English notebook from this semester and I thought I would type up some of the short fanfics/originals I wrote during our 'free writing' time.

See, this is how it works: he would write a prompt on the board and we had to start a free writing exercise with it. We have 15 minutes to do the whole thing. Most of the class wrote like, insightful boring shit about themselves that no one else cared about. Especially this kid named Dave, who thinks he is hot shit. And then he would read it with this fake British accent and this deep profound voice and shit. And then he'd chat me up, doubtlessly thinking that I was so wooed by his dramatic reading that I would strip my clothes off right there in Memorial Hall and he could have me. Which wasn't the case. But it was funny! Until he started coming up to my room at like 12:15 at night wanting me to come down to his room, at which point it started being creepy. But I resisted, kept my door locked, and that was that. Yayyyy.

ANYWAY. Here's some writing! Enjoy.

Everything was written in 15 minutes. The italicized words are the original prompt. All original fics are from my superhero story and the stories surrounding it. Original stuff all takes place on Earth in the US. Everything but Murder is the only one that doesn't take place in modern day - take place about 80 years ago, but that doesn't really matter.

Shotgun Wedding, btw, is a totally AU prologue to and hugely AU fanfiction that will never be written. Enjoy it.

Happy Thursday! I bring you a new chapter of Diplomatic Piracy. It is exciting and full of action, and I am not even kidding about that. Yey!

School is finished for the next four days. Then I begin spring semester. Which, good news, I am not taking 17 credits during! I got a 2-credit TA job, so I am dropping my 4-credit Microbiology course - I will take it later. Hooray! Now I have two regular semesters and an online summer class standing between me and sweet, sweet freedom. Ah, graduation, you cannot come soon enough.

No, seriously, I am tired of learning. Lewl.

Revolutions got updated today yay.

That was the last real chapter. There's an epilogue on the way, yus, but that's pretty much it.

I am done with Revolutions. *sniffle, tear*

Aww, who am I kidding?! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYY! *pulls a Kermit*

This means I can be lazy and only work on one fanfiction for a while while I sit on the other oneeeeeee . . . .

The 'other one' is going to be tricky, and present some interesting writing questions. I look forward to it.

Oh, and I probably won't post it until it's finished. Just sayin'. I am a lazy motherfucker, and potential praise motivates me. So, uh, the theory here being that I will be more motivated to finish it.

. . . yeah whatever. I'll work it out.

Oh, and I swear I haven't forgotten about Diplomatic Piracy, I have the next chapter almost ready, but I've been all busy. Probs tomorrow there will be an update to that mofo.
