[why_me_why_not]

I am failing at LJ right now. Actually, I'm failing at life, the internet, and everything right now, so I guess it's par for the course. But I have a list of things I wanted to post about, so I'm going to try and knock that out, then go tackle my inbox and comments, then my flist, then work on fic. Sound like a plan?

If this entry seems like a jumbled mess... well, that's because it is.

Kane's got a song - I think it's from the Live in London album - called Oklahoma State of Mind. Part of it goes NASCAR, strip bars, American made cars, country rockin' women now to get up and get 'em, we got Budweiser beer, Jim Beam, Jack, tequila and lime. Every time I hear that, I think it's totally a Ray Person song. Y/N?

Shameless is SO FREAKING GOOD and I am sad that this week is the finale already when I just got into the show! And I want a million words of all kinds of fic, so I hope there are other people into this. Also, Lip is totally my favorite. But Ian and Fiona are too. And the rest of them.

And I'm totally writing Being Human fanfic (for the US version), especially after Monday's episode.

Someone, I think it was exsequar, posted links on twitter to these pictures of Antartica's Blood Falls, which are pretty damn awesome.

Everyone seems to be hanging out on Tumblr and I'm still behind when it comes to the tumblr craze. Sorry!

A million and one things happened in regards to the panic boys. Brendon Urie is still my favoritest thing in the ENTIRE FREAKING WORLD. No surprise. But I can't tell you anything specific about what's going on with them because I'm failing at the internet. But! I did get a concert call the other night! So I have panic + screaming fangirls on my voicemail, which is a total win!

Kirsten Vangsness posted this pic of MGG and Shemar the other day and it's totally adorable, as those two are.

Wil Wheaton posted about a Stand By Me reunion. for anyone who doesn't know, Stand By Me is my all time favorite movie. ♥

I have this article from our local No Kill Coalition open in a tab, but I'm not sure what I wanted to do with it.

And I have this up as a reminder that I want to find/steal the song b/c it was recced to me when I was looking for songs to write to. (junebug_waltz totally made me an awesome playlist to write kitten!fic too, btw. she is made of win.)

I still have swear_jar's the gentle art of making enemies: cigarettes open on my screen because it doesn't have nearly enough comments on it and I keep meaning to find more people to rec it to and/or encourage to read it.

We were playing Scene It the other day at James's and no one knew the scenes from Footloose! And it was like the tractor scene! Who doesn't know that?!

I am sick and tired of being crazy. So over this bullshit.

Also over these headaches. And I'm worried that they're going to ruin my enjoyment of concerts. I haven't actually been to a concert since I started having them. I mean, I went to the Cobra/Travie concerts, but that was while I was severely concussed, lol, so that doesn't count. And I did go see Carrie Underwood & Billy Currington, but I felt like crap that entire time, and I don't know if that was the company and/or my general emotional state that week. I am so afraid that my enjoyment of Panic and NKOTB/BSB is going to be affected by this. And that my enjoyment of races is going to be affected. We're going to Martinsville next weekend, so I guess that'll be the test.

The other tabs I have open are related to job searching or my CEUs, and the other windows I have open are also related to job searching or to partially written fic. I don't think yall want that, do you? So, I'm going to try to tackle some of this other stuff. I will be so happy when we get my bedroom finished because trying to be quiet because my brother is sleeping is kinda boo. But he has to be up at 3am. Blah.

If I've missed something important, tell me here!

Stand By Me is MY all time fave movie! EVER!!

Perhaps we will have a viewing sometime. :)

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

YAYES! ♥

(I'm gonna have to start counting down days until I see you in June, I think.)

That is DEFINITELY a Ray song!

Sorry about the screaming fangirls, but it was sort of unavoidable.

Also? I don't check tumblr very often b/c it's blocked at work, and I'm most likely to spend part of my lunchbreak checking twitter and LJ.

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

&Ray;

The screaming fangirls added to the experience, tbh. I love it!

Good. I feel like everyone is jumping ship to tumblr and I don't like it. :(

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

I get why everyone likes it - Tumblr is awesome for video and pics - but I find the format sort of unsatisfying for feedback/commenting purposes. And I already have what feels like too many forms of social networking happening, so I don't want ANOTHER one to add to my internet time-wastage.

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

If everyone defaults to Tumblr, I'll just default to emailing shit to you. :P

[schlicky.livejournal.com]

LET'S SEE ---

Tumblr can suck it. Seriously.

MGG and Shemar ... OMG, ♥ them. ADORABLE.

I still have not read swear_jar's sequel yet, because I'm a huge pile of fail. I was working on Spring Fling and just got caught up in shit. It's on my list of things to do this week/weekend since my story is DOOOONE. :D

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

Tumblr can suck it. Seriously. I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way, because it's like EVERYONE is on tumblr and they're abandoning LJ and tumblr just doesn't work the same so it's NOT the same and I don't like it!

They ARE adorable! I can't handle their adorableness sometimes!

No, you are BUSY, not FAIL. There is a difference. I'm just pushing it on people because I love it. Your Spring Fling story is done? That's awesome! :) I'm excited for those stories to roll out!

[schlicky.livejournal.com]

I feel like everyone's been abandoning LJ and going to Tumblr, too. But whatever. I'll just sit here in my LJ corner forever. :D

DUDE. I read the first part tonight and was all, "I'll read the next two tomorrow." THAT DID NOT WORK OUT. I had to read it all. ALL.

I'm pretty excited about Spring Fling, not gonna lie. :)

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

Well, I will be here on LJ forever too, so you won't be alone. :)

Isn't it so addicting? Her Brad is so in denial about his feelings for Ray, and Ray is so utterly ridiculous and RAY, and there is nothing I don't love about the world she created.

I'm hoping there's some awesome fic for Spring Fling. The one I've read is awesome. :)

[schlicky.livejournal.com]

Considering who's participating, I think there will be plenty of awesome fic. :D

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

I'm looking forward to it. :D

[junebug-waltz.livejournal.com]

1. hiii hi hi hi. i have never heard that Kane song! but there is a song called 'Texas State of Mind' that i greatly enjoy. it has nothing to do with other people though, just my state. :/

2. i go look at pretty pics on tumblr, but then i come back to LJ to write shit.

3. booo, i have a Cloud Cult album, but that song is not on it. damn, wish i could help!!
3a. BUT I AM SO GLAD YOU LIKE MY TUNES! hahaha i am so lame! :D

4. how is kitten!fic coming, btw? :DDDD

5. who the FUCK doesn't know the tractor scene of footloose wtf.

6. i don't know why i decided to number this comment. but that's all i got. hi hi hi. you are awesome. <3

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

1. Well, I do enjoy all songs about Texas because Texas is awesome and I would move there if I wasn't crazy and could live like an adult. Or if I won the lottery. It is on the Live in London CD, which I can upload for you if you want (tomorrow b/c it's on the desktop and I'm not). Everyone needs more Christian Kane in their life, right?

2. That's all I know how to do on tumblr! Sometimes I reblog stuff, but mostly I just look at the pics.

3a. boo. thank you anyway?
3b. you are not lame! You were superhelpful!

4. it's coming? even though nothing happens other than conversations with their cats and Andrew trying to get Jesse to go to homecoming with him without directly asking him and Jesse thinking it's all a big joke, and idek.

5. SERIOUSLY?! I demanded that they go home and Netflix that shit right away, because EVERYONE has to know that movie.

6. haha, because numbers are COOL. hi! you are awesome toooooo! <3

I haven't seen all of Shameless, but I've caught a bit of almost every season on TV, and during the last one I though MAN I WOULD READ FIC, but sadly when I looked I found nothing. Like I'm fairly sure there wasn't even Yuletide fic, at least not that I saw (mind you I was looking for fic about the later-seasons characters). Anyway, um. Yes. It lacks fandom, quite sadly.

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

I'm watching the American version of Shameless (yeah, I know, I don't know why there always has to be an American version) but I noticed the original version doesn't have any fic either, which is CRAZY because this show (both versions) was MADE for fic!

[swear-jar.livejournal.com]

OH AMERICAN VERSION. Haha, wow, I failed to notice that :P. Now I kind of wonder how closely they'll follow certain storylines, but I don't want to spoil you to ask (plus I guess there hasn't been that many eps yet).

[sonicbookmark.livejournal.com]

Who doesn't know about the tractor scene where Kevin Bacon's shoe got stuck on the thing?! :O

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

I was kinda embarrassed that I call these people family.
