    Mythbusters blather.
    1. Tory's Meat Man freaked me right the hell out. Something about the hipbones sticking out under the skin like that. *shudder* ...On a related subject, NEVER GOING DEEP-SEA DIVING NEVER EVER.

    2. Okay, Jessie's cute, I like her. ^_^

    3. Adam was so totally channeling Sephiroth on that last bit, it's amazing. If my Fluffiroth muse wasn't awake and yammering at me already, this would have woken him up. ...On a related subject, I need those boots.

    I have a new shirt! ...Okay, I houldn't really have bought it, but! It's long enough to go past my arse and has a tie-back thing for typing my sleeves back into the rolled-up-and-out-of-the-way position! No jokes, you lot. And it has POCKETS. Awesome!

    (That and the sleeves actually cover my wrists. I am most put out that my nice blue SOLDIER rollneck thing is an inch too short at the wrists after I washed it all of once. -_- Why does that always happen? I washed it at 30, for heaven's sake.)

    ((And it's a size 12. Can I just squeal about that for a second? I know that every single size only had about a centimetre difference in it each way, since I also fitted into a 10 for crying out loud, but - squeak. Squeak.

    And the goddamn saddlebags are gone gone gone. I only noticed today - how I only noticed today, I don't know. Seems eight miles on the bike every day is doing more good than I thought. *hugs self and bounces*))

    And now I'm going to bed, since I seem to be breaking out in italics. *WHUMPF*

    Because I just banged out a springkink at work and I'm feeling cocky.
    Give me a pairing and an emotion, and I will write you at least two paragraphs of pure and glorious and entirely shameless SMUT for it. You can toss up as many prompts as you like, but I'll only guarantee one response per requester.

    Ganked from (lj)artoni.

    Just realised/was told something - Heartsease was really confused by films as a kid, 'cause he couldn't figure out where all the people's halos had gone. I don't know whether it's because they're pre-recorded or whether it's a processing/lense thing or what, but still - just tell the typist, the world will realign to make it make sense later. ;P

    (Apparently he's sort of all right with things like Skype and the little monitor-comms, but he has to squint.)

    How on *earth* did I manage that?!
    I just managed to sew my sewing machine to the bit of material I was working on. I just - I don't even - what? I spent a good twenty minutes dismantling the thing and I still don't know how I did that!

    ...That said, six hours in front of a sewing machine and I'm not sure what planet I'm on, let alone what I did to prompt that. *blink*

    I committed a cardinal sin today, too - I threw out a spool of thread when it was only half finished. *the horror!* In my defence, it was an awful slippery, horribly manufactured-feeling thread that was impossible to work with and not have it snarl up, tangle or - as happened today - bunch up and turn my nice row of sewing-machine-stitches into an aquamarine version of The Thing from the Black Lagoon. *growl* I had to re-do one bit three times and the wrong way around before I could get it looking halfway decent, rargh!

    All in all, considering that I was crashed out in a heap fast asleep until lunchtime, I feel quite productive. ^_^; Wonder if I can get away with slipping my knitting into an exam...

    Current Mood: productive
    Current Music: Nothing yet, the laptop just crashed again. -_-

    No, really, they're tweets. :D?
    - I just typoed 'Phantom of the Opera' as 'Phantom of the Opry.' Interesting AU, that.

    - Am marathoning Ouran Host Club - just found out that Haruhi wants to be a lawyer. Guess what I'm crossing it over with now. Go ahead, guess.

    - At work I spent half an hour blow-drying a bobcat. The bobcat was unappreciative.

    WHUMP
    HERE'S SOME ART

    On the sketchblog (WARNING: WILDLY NSFW/NSFL/I DON'T WANT TO GET IN TROUBLE SO I AM WARNING YOU A LOT) and on the website.

    DeviantART even got a look-in, but, as usual, I only put pandering-to-the-masses rubbish on there, so w/e.

    I'm going to bed. My new job is going marvellously, by the way. NHS GUM clinic reception is hard work, very hard work, but lots and lots of fun. I love it. :)

    I'm going to need to start learning Roman numerals for stuff beyond the variants on twenty, aren't I?

    Anyway, here's a couple of things I did over Hallowe'en. Be warned: there is porn in here, and it isn't very nice porn, either. So... you know, I have warned you now. So it's your own perogative whether you go and look or not. So don't say I didn't warn you because I just did, and you'd be lying.

    ( Snazzy new colouring style and still no gift-art because I suck, sorry. Also porn. [+9, NSFW] )

    There's other things I drew recently for people, but since I gave them away, I don't have copies to show you! So if you're reading this and I gave you a picture recently, would you mind taking a photo or scanning it so that I can show other people, too? Thank you. :)

    It is now 23 minutes past 11 at night, UK time, and this little monster is dragging his bones off to bed. Don't forget to pay The Spires a visit, and tell your friends. Nighty night.

    When you're grinding to a halt on your bike, you know you've got problems. When you're grinding to a halt because of how strong the wind is, I kind of want to stay in bed.

    Good grief
    I think the DR profile art might actually be *finished*. E-fucking-gads.

    Now to can Civ all night, clear of conscience and fried of hand-eye co-ordination.

    ETA: Won at Civ. Can't work out why my cities kept revolting. Possibly just need to be more vicious with the jackboot. Also, Ledwin even more pathetic than first thought.

    Okay, so everyone knows that I'm a sucker for mush and happy-ever-after stories even if I sit and snark my way through some of them. I've also always been a Disney kid - you know, grew up going to see all the films in the cinema, terrified by Ursula and traumatised by the whale in Pinocchio, that kind of thing - but I've never really liked the Disney princesses. (With the exception of Kida and Jasmine, mind, since say what you like but kissing Jafar takes guts.) The idea that all you have to do to get a gender-stereotype of a saccharine happy ever after is be Good makes me nauseous if it's just passive-Good rather than fighting for what you want Good, the behave-the-right-way good instead of the ideological alignment...

    ...Anyway.

    Point I'm trying to wind my way to is that the sequels to Cinderella, by some amazing twist of fate, are actually fairly decent. A Disney princess figuring out that hey, going from a noble daughter in rags to being a princess with actual duties is difficult! And having to work to keep her happy ever after! And charging around on horseback having to fight her way out of a possessed pumpkin driven by a demon cat! ...Or maybe that part's just me. ;) AND IT'S GOT THE GODDAMN FRANK WELKER IN IT. What am I saying, everything's got the goddamn Frank Welker in it.

    So. Yes. Cindy 3 is actually pretty good. ^_^;; And they give the Prince some personality at last, poor boy, not to mention having people go O____O;; at the talking mice. I mean, wouldn't you?

    (For the record, though, Little Mermaid 2 is creeping me out juuuust a little bit. Plus bonus WTF sea wall right around the edge of the little spit of beach next to the castle? Fior is both having nasty flashbacks and critiquing the construction.)

    EDIT: ...I don't think I like Melody very much. HELLO. PRINCESS. Do not have an angst about zomg everyone's laughing at meeee when they all think it's hilarious that your insane head chef is going all Crocodile Dundee on Sebastian. SAVE THE CRAB-FRIEND. WHERE IS THE EMPATHY AND THE MUST-RESCUE. Yeesh.

    ...Oh for crying out loud. CONGRATULATIONS ARIEL YOU'VE TURNED INTO YOUR FATHER. GUESS WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN NOW.

    Well, that was random.
    I just spent ten minutes on the phone with some poor sod in a call centre doing surveys for some company affiiated with the NHS. At nine o'clock at night.

    I thought the guy was another automated call and nearly put the phone down on him. XD He's lucky I was more amused than irritated, though I did call him out on asking for my first name for reference purposes - fair enough, it's a common name and there's plenty of the same one around here - and then asking for my last name as well. Uh, no. ;P

    Still, out of all the things he listed off questions about, I only actually use the dentist's. I might have more insight into the maternity wards later on depending on how a friend of mine gets on, but that's a way away yet. (She was always so tiny! Little bitty Christmas-fairy-bodytype girl! How the hell can she be pregnant? ...Aside from the obvious before anyone says it. ;P)

    EDIT: ...There we go. In colour this time! Well, in one colour, anyway. ;P Yes, 'Doom, we know you like red.

    COLD. At least it's stopped raining, but yeesh, it got wintry fast. Trying to get a load of kids in out of the rain is actually harder than you'd think. *facepalm*

    For the first mock exam of the lot, it didn't go too bad. I had one boy shuttling between the three rooms because he came in half an hour late and I didn't have my list of who-does-what to hand, but he ended up in the right place - another boy was supposed to have a laptop and didn't, but again, that got sorted thankfully quickly.

    I must have been really out of it last week. My list of access arrangement rooms was totally wrong and I've just rewritten it, gah. *head in paws* I kept waking up last night - the one time I checked my watch was 4am, and that was the third time that night so far.

    Oh well. One down, twenty-four to go...

    Yes... yes.

    Now I remember what it feels like. To see everything so clearly, what sparks are fanned into flame and what glorious conflagrations must follow. To feel the words flow from me like water, if I may mix my metaphors.

    *embraces Optimus and Megatron and snuggles them close* Thank you, boys. ^_____^

    Damn, I regret having to go to bed. Curse this weak human flesh of mine!

    The birthday party last night was admittedly more awesome and less flail-inducing than I was expecting, one moment aside, but today all I've been good for has been sleeping til lunch and poking a couple of bits of knitting. And, y'know, the usual standby of 'flop on the sofa and read old logs'. Hence this, which came from reading one of the old Triadchat logs about another party entirely.

    ***

    In amongst the splendour of a richly bedecked mansion, party guests long since gone home and the detritus of their leaving pushed to one side for the morning, those with license granted to stay slept like the proverbial dead.

    A single redheaded figure lay flat on his front in one of the smaller guest bedrooms, arms stretched out under his pillow; his weary trek homewards had been forestalled by a sharp smile and the offer of breakfast the next morning. A liberal spattering of bruises over his hips and thighs would make sitting down painful the next day, pride chafing under that night's duties and unwelcome attentions, but company like enough to that of his home would soon restore his usual good humour.

    He slept alone, but dreamed of wings and fangs.

    Two tired bodies curled close together in another bed, the smaller blonde youth wrapped protectively around his taller lover; their hair tangled together on the pillow, mercifully not catching between them though one's nose was nuzzled close against the other's shoulder. They were bone-weary after a long day and a longer night, the first they'd spent away from home or a hospital bed in a long time - their other partner would worry over them when they came home still tired the next day, but a sound night's dreamless sleep cures most ills.

    They slept in each others' arms, and dreams passed them by

    Another room, larger still, and a larger bed - four curled together, pale hair and dark caught up between tangled limbs and tangled bodies, too tired tonight to leave for their own beds at the end of the party. Soft skin against hard muscle, battle calluses and manicured nails, full lips and metal fangs, nail varnish and scars, warm and winding together purely for the love of closeness. The next morning, of course, would be another matter entirely.

    They slept in a comfortable knot of limbs, and dreamed their own dreams.

    ***

    ...it's half past five, dark as midnight outside and all I want to do is go to bed. Bah, I say.

    EDIT: ...Don't look at me, I just put down what they tell me. *sigh*

    "Scarlatti, dear boy..."

    "Hmm?"

    "That costume."

    "Yes? What about it?"

    "Don't you think it's a shame to hide your assets that way?"

    "What do you-" ..... "Blackout, if you think I am leaving my aft exposed to any more bruises than I can help- Why do you think I added the cape in?!"

    Oh, for crying out loud. I thought I'd lost a list of Stuff I had to apply for, and where do I find it after five minutes of frazzled searching?

    Stapled to the other list of stuff I'd just printed off and put aside.

    And this is after continually missing the big red 'TICK HERE' tickybox on three successive applications in a row.

    ...

    I am so very glad it's the weekend.

    And if the wannabe supervillains in the headspace could SHUT THE HELL UP for five minutes it would greatly improve my concentration. I'll draw your costumes out again later!

    Y'know, this is really, really adorable. I know, I know, I'm behind the times.

    Also! O hai Lupie, do you still want an enormous knitted blanket for the artshare thing from ages ago? I never did find out what colours you wanted. ^^;

    In other news, I think I've got another 'verse percolating. *tugs braids* Dreadmoon and Starscream are tearing around dressed up as supervillains. ...Well, I say 'Dreadmoon and Starscream'. Starscream's charging around laughing maniacally and having way too much fun while Dreadmoon's sticking his fingers into computers and replacing various limbs with super-toughened acrylic. And also thoroughly enjoying himself, if being rather quieter about it. *facepalm*

    ......Oh good lord. Mum's just emailed me that a girl I was friends with in school is pregnant. O_O I don't know why that's quite so omgwtf inducing, possibly because she was an absolutely tiny little thing herself, but - zomg, srsly.

    EDIT: AAARGH. The one thing, the one long, laborious, boring thing I have to do today, and thenwebsite I need to do it has seized up and died. ASDFHJKLSQUALLPALM.
