LoudTwitter is looooud

So, I've been bookmarking fic like mad lately, because omg, STAR TREK! And I am planning on making a rec post of the best, but this one could not wait, and it needs to stand alone so you all notice it.

A Formal Dance in the Bowling Alley, by loneraven

Here are some things that James Tiberius Kirk, Captain, does not understand about the Enterprise and her crew.

It's PG, it's gen, and it is sheer brilliance. Raven's a TOS fan, and that experience gives layers to the reboot characters. You can tell when an author truly loves who she's writing about, and that shines through from start to finish. It's a wonderfully funny story, touching on how Kirk relates to his crew, and. Really. It's glorious!

GO. READ IT. If you are even a casual fan of the movie or series, you will love it, I promise.

Hmmm, delicious meme, let me eat it up.

THE ANONYMOUS WRITING FEEDBACK MEME

As always, my writing journal is drive_thru_rx. My masterlist is nowhere near up to date, though. (and, omg, it's not all Heroes fic any more! :O )


Made brownies. No, let me correct that: I MADE THE BEST FUCKING BROWNIES IN THE WORLD. Seriously, so dense and rich and good. ♥

I have not gotten below 75 open tabs in the past three days. I need tab rehab. Tabhab?

Haha, so apparently I need to start posting more again! I feel so boring, but let's see what I can manage.

Out of the three of the Cregans applying for financial aid, I'm eligible for the most. :3 If I actually get the full amount I could... shit, I could pay off the loans I was dumb enough to take out before. I might even have enough left over to *puts hands over Arthur's vido input* get a new computer. A laptop, of course, my desktop is still the shit. Five years old and can run 80+ Firefox tabs, iTunes, TweetDeck, three instances of Notepad, and a brief bout of Photoshop? My desktop. Is. The shit. *pets Arthur lovingly*

Of course, I have to get up to CCC and put together a schedule and all that good stuff. Maybe later this week? I also still have to get a library card of my own, bring back the book mom checked out for me...


...did I mention that I read Chuck Palahniuk's newest? It's titled Pygmy and it was even more disturbing than his books usually are. I mean, seriously, Diary is like a kid's book in comparison. I don't think I talked about Rant, which I read earlier in the year. I really liked that one a lot. I'd have to read it again before I can say if it's good enough to compete with Survivor for my favorite of his, but I did enjoy it waaaay more than Pygmy.

I know some of the rest of you read Palahniuk. What's your favorite of his? What disturbed you the most? (Before, I would have probably said "Guts" but... Pygmy was really. fucking. disturbing.)


Kind of sad-making: I do one of those survey sites, and instead of letting you add up points to buy things, you put them in raffles to maybe win things... I put all of my points in to win a Star Trek DVD collection, all of TOS and the first 6 movies... and I didn't win. D: Le sigh. I have shitty luck on raffles and things anyhow. I do want to rewatch TOS, so I guess my faithful terabyte drive will be nomming down on some serious gigs soon. *pats Gabriel* So full of wonders, he is.


Aha, a meme to finish this off:

( bullshit, I should have the option to pick either of the equal top results )

I have six stories to feedback before I'm caught up on the heroes_exchange feedback frenzy. I'm sad because more of the ones I want to read are on one day than the days I need to finish... v.v; Feel like a bad fan because last exchange, I read almost everything, this time around I'm skipping at least a third. I don't know why I have such crazy fandom-related guilt lately except because I take forever to write and I'm not making my word count this month and I haven't maintained my writing masterlist and I can't write with another person which is why I suck at RP and AAAAAAGH

Ahem. Anyway. Tomorrow our house is being inspected by some muckity-muck from Divisional Headquarters. The moving assignments were put out yesterday, a few familiar names are getting shuffled around but we're staying put for another year. Hopefully two, until Rachael graduates. (and if I'm still living with my parents at 25, well.) And after that, I have my visit with Carrie and I NEED TO FIND THOSE OLD MAGAZINES, sheesh, what the hell did I do with them?

If anyone sees my brain, could you mail it back to me? It might be kind of shriveled and dirty, but I need it. Thanks.
