why_me_why_notI guess it's up to me to do this. ;)
Yes, yes, crappy graphic is crappy. I'm not known for my artistic abilities.
Anyway, we used to do weekend long comment parties here on LJ. Since a bunch of us are stuck inside this weekend riding out the hurricane, I figured it's as good a time as any to attempt to revive it? No guarantees at success, since LJ isn't the hotspot it once was, especially my LJ. But it's basically a free-for-all. Post anything in comments - tell me about your day, post pics or vids, tell me why I should be watching your favorite show, talk to me about last night's Suits or this week's True Blood or what's the backstory between Nathan and Duke on Haven. Anything and everything goes, as long as we play nice with one another. (In case you haven't seen this post by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gelbwax - it's okay to not like things, but don't be a dick about the things you don't like!)
And this will only work if you participate and share and get others to participate! So DO IT!

-Sons of Anarchy!!!!! Oh.My.God. I just finished the third season and am now counting down the days till it starts again. I've already set the DVR. I'm torn because while I love the whole Hamlet, Jax vs Clay thing, the other part of me wants them to be one big outlaw family like the were in the third season with the hugs and the "I love you son/dads". Also, this show has the unbelievable ability to make me like ALL THE CHARACTERS!!! Even Tig, who normally I would be damning I can't help but love. (also, sidenote, did anyone else cheer when the ATF bitch died? because I sure as hell did)
I have not seen Suites, but apparently really gay?
If you want really really gay, go watch The Eagle. It's pretty much slash fic on screen. But with Jamie Bell(!!!!!) so it's not as horrible as it should have been.

Date: 2011-08-27 01:18 am (UTC)We're far enough inland (and blocked by mountains) so we're gonna get the edge of the rain if we get anything, so I'm not too worried. And my bff who lives in Norfolk (she's a navy wife and has a new baby) is already here in town, so I don't have to worry about her. :) You stay safe! I just have to worry about my flisters now! I figure as long as we have LJ and twitter, we'll be good, haha.
That's an awesome pin and totally fits with your OYOoT 'verse! And meeting up with other fangirls is ALWAYS goodtimes!
I'm spending way too much time at home these days, but my summer shows are Suits, Royal Pains, Leverage, and Haven. And I just did a rewatch of all three seasons of Sons of Anarchy to get ready for the new season. We catch a lot of Monster Hunters and things like that during the day. And right now I'm watching Phineas and Ferb, haha.
I am on tumblr, but I never use it. I'm tabbycat6380 over there. I don't even remember to check it most of the time, because I have a few particular tumblrs on my google reader and depend on my friends to direct me to anything of must-see-ness.

Date: 2011-08-27 02:04 am (UTC)300 words of Suits (for alli)
Date: 2011-08-27 01:56 am (UTC)It's all Harvey's fault. He may as well have issued a challenge. It's like that time he made the comment about picturing Mike in drag, and Mike took that to mean he had to prove he could pull it off. Which he could. With impressive results.
Very impressive results.
Mike shifts in his chair, thinking back to that night. Maybe they need to revisit that scenario, but right now Mike needs to figure out how to complete his current quest.
It wasn't the first time Mike had the thought. The shower was huge; it practically screamed "have sex in me!" But usually they were running late - rather, Mike was running late and Harvey was enjoying watching him do it, since Harvey's office hours seemed to start whenever he damned well decided to show up - or had just finished a morning round of fun. This morning, when Mike had oh-so-casually suggested shower sex, Harvey had all but laughed at him.
"Mike, as clumsy as you are to begin with, I'm not ready to test that by adding water. Late night or early mornings in emergency room aren't something I care to repeat."
It's not Mike's fault he fell off the bed reaching for the condoms on the nightstand. Or that time he tripped over his own feet trying to walk backwards and lead Harvey to the bedroom. He'd been a little drunk at the time, and it was only a small cut. Didn't even need stitches. And that time he'd hit the coffee table when they were on the couch - well, the only damage done was the spilled bottle of scotch.
Now Mike's even more determined to have his way. There will be orgasms in that shower, dammit. Mutual orgasms, and Harvey Specter will damn well like it.

Date: 2011-08-27 03:03 am (UTC)I was gonna talk about Jax, but instead, since I'm watching Haven, let's talk about Duke Crocker.
He's kinda a douche. But he's pretty much always a happy douche, unless it involves his wife or Nathan, which just leaves me more convinced that he and Nathan used to be lovers. Also, his wife can gtfo any time and I'd be fine with that.
He's a criminal and a smuggler, and even though he has a legit business now with the Gull and has steady income coming in from renting the upstairs apartment to Audrey, I'm pretty sure he still does a bunch of illegal shit because he likes it. But he's still a good guy who has morals and shit, and when it comes down to it, he knows when to work on the right side of the law.
I don't think we know what his trouble is, other than getting himself into trouble, lol.
He slept with a woman who was sucking the life out of men to make babies, but they managed to save him by sending the baby away, so he has a daughter out there somewhere he can never see. And when he tried to hook up with his childhood babysitter, that didn't work out, but she did pass on a premonition of his death. His life is interesting.
I'm pretty sure that he and Nathan were friends growing up, as much as Nathan's dad HATED it because Duke was ALWAYS getting Nathan into trouble. And they ended up as more than friends somewhere during their teenage years. And there was a big falling out because Duke never wanted to grow up and take life seriously, and Nathan takes a job on the force and he takes it seriously even though he knows he'll never live up to the chief's expectations. And there's a lot of discussions about FEELINGS and the fact that even though Nathan can't feel anything physically doesn't mean he has to act like a fucking robot and Nathan telling Duke that not everything is a fucking joke, and they say a lot of shit they don't mean and probably throw a few punches that they DO mean and then they don't speak to each other because they're STUBBORN.
So yeah. That's my take on that. :P

From:part of the hs au kitten!fic of ridiculousness
Date: 2011-08-27 04:10 am (UTC)They're going to have flyers left over, and Jesse's about to suggest they each take some with them to work when Emma's face lights up in a smile that means trouble. Trouble in the form of Andrew Garfield, to be specific. Jesse's scowl is firmly in place when he turns to see Garfield weaving his way through the crowd, heading toward them. He still doesn't understand why Garfield can't find his own friends and leave Jesse's alone. And Jesse's friends act like he's the bad guy for not wanting this new kid around!
"Hey, Andrew!" Emma tucks a flyer in between the books he's carrying. "There's a special event this weekend at the kitten rescue shelter where we volunteer; you should come."
"Will you be there?" He's looking right at Jesse when he asks, which is stupid because he has to be asking Emma. And besides, didn't Emma just say that they volunteered there?
"Didn't Emma just say we volunteer there?" Whoa, that comes out a little bitchy, even for Jesse.
Andrew just smiles, though. "I'll be there."
He's barely out of earshot when Emma smacks Jesse's arm. "Why are you so mean?"
"Ow, what?" He smacks her back. "I'm not! And why did you give him a flyer? He can't have one of my kittens!"
"Why not?"
"Because... well, because..." Jesse flounders, trying to come up with a decent reason. "Because he has ridiculous hair!"
Emma doesn't look convinced. "He has ridiculous hair?"
"Yes!" Jesse flails a little. "He can't even comb his hair properly; how can I expect him to look after a kitten!"
Luckily, the bell rings and Jesse's saved from finishing that discussion.
Re: part of the hs au kitten!fic of ridiculousness
Date: 2011-08-27 04:28 pm (UTC)AHHHHHHHHH I HAVE NO TIME TO RESPOND TO ANYTHING ELSE BUT AHHHHHHHHH.

Date: 2011-08-27 04:41 am (UTC)Zach loved the window in their bedroom on evenings like this. Most mornings, he was just thankful it was on a westward exposure so it didn't bring in too many of the sun's rays, but watching the rain beat against the glass was soothing, almost beautiful. The rain that hadn't let up for days was a cold one. He knew; he'd been soaked earlier when he took Cody to a friend's house for a sleepover. Now, however, he was showered and comfy in a pair of sweats and one of Shaun's tshirts. Warm and cozy and sheltered from the weather outside.
He had his sketch pad in front of him, trying to capture the reflection of light and shadow on the carpet from the raindrops on the glass and the fading light beyond, but he wasn't intent on it. He was more interested in the way Shaun was stretched out beside him on the bed, both of them lying on their stomachs, sides barely touching. Every once in a while, Shaun's foot would brush against Zach's ankle in a deliberate manner and Zach would catch him grin, or Shaun would peek around the edge of his laptop to see what Zach was up to.
It had taken time for Zach to place this feeling, the easy evenings like this. He was content. It was nice.
Zach was sneaking yet another look at Shaun when Shaun suddenly shut the lid to his laptop and made Zach jump. Shaun laughed as he moved the laptop and the sketchpad off the bed, sitting up and pulling Zach with him.
"Wanna turn out the lights and watch the storm?"
Zach looked outside, noticed the flashes of lightning and the increasing winds, thought about turning Shaun's offer into innuendo before realizing he'd rather not. "Yeah."

From:More fic bits!
Date: 2011-08-27 05:12 am (UTC)I said I wasn't going to write fic for The Fast and the Furious. And I didn't! Well, I never FINISHED any, so it totally counts, right?
(and just because there's several thousand more words of this doesn't mean anything, shut up!)
The cooler air is a shock to his lungs. His breath hitches for a moment and he suddenly wishes for a cigarette in the worst way. He doesn't usually miss it, it was something to do with his hands, keep himself occupied (and yeah, he's heard all the jokes about keeping his mouth occupied, thanks anyway, Rome), but a craving like this usually only comes after a hard-won race or really good sex. He shakes it off and steps toward the shadows on the far end of the deck, where the crowd is thinnest.
Someone across the way catches Brian's attention and he has to look twice. It's not the first time he's thought he's seen someone from Dom's team (his team), but it's been a while. All this making new enemies, he's forgotten about the potential ones he already had.
He watches her and he knows, knows he's not imagining this time. He wonders why she's on the wrong coast, why she's in his city. Wonders if Dom's with her, or Mia. Wonders what happened to her after the shit hit the fan in LA, because he didn't stick around to find out and never had the guts to ask.
He's still deciding whether or not it's safe to approach her when she sees him and her eyes light up, like she's happy to see him. Like they're friends.
"Brian Spilner," she says with a grin, stepping through the crowd to meet him.
"O'Connor," he corrects, shaking his head.
"Nah, I think BS suits you better." She winks at him, and then holds out her arms. "C'mere, man, don't act like you're too good for hugs!"
Brian can follow her lead if that's how she wants to play it. He wraps her in a hug that lifts her off the ground and earns himself a laugh from her and a glare from the guy she was talking to. Brian recognizes him from the street races.
"So what are you doing here?" he asks as he sets her back on her feet, keeping a hand on her waist just to be contrary. "What brings you to Miami?"
"My cousin Maria, she's starting her residency at Miami Trauma Center. I drove out here with her, helping her get moved and shit." She gestures at her new friends with a smile, one Brian recognizes as Letty feeling underestimated. "Armand here and I were just talking about how I like things that go fast. He invited me to come watch him race tomorrow night. You racing too?"
Brian starts to say no, but two other voices beat him to it. One is Armand, who Brian now realizes he took a couple grand off of just a few weeks ago, and the other is Suki, coming up behind them with Tej and Lauren.
"Bullet only races for special occasions," Suki says, placing a hand on Brian's arm in a way that implies she has the right to and holding out the other in introduction. "Hi, I'm Suki."
"Letty." She shakes Suki's hand and Brian's struck by how much friendlier, how much happier she is than he remembers. "And you call Brian "Bullet"? I gotta hear the story behind this one."
"Well, come with me, sweet thang," Tej teases as he drapes an arm around Letty's shoulder and steals her away from Brian. "I'll buy you a drink and tell you all about it."
Letty tosses a smile over her shoulder in Armand's direction with an "I'll see you tomorrow," before letting Tej lead her away. Suki watches them until they're inside the club again then turns to Brian.
"I had your type wrong."
"Nah, she's not my type. Well, she is, being that if I had a type, it'd be hot and knows how to handle fast, but nah."
"She's L.A.?" Suki guesses. She touching Brian's shirt, small, casual, intimate touches like they're having a personal discussion. He's not sure what that's about.
Brian shakes his head. She's from L.A., yeah, but she's not what he's been missing from there. "She's just a friend, Suki. Play nice."
more unintentional fic!
Date: 2011-08-27 05:15 am (UTC)They're somewhere not far west of Texas when everything falls all to hell. Brian's driving, been driving for hours on miles and miles of flat road that stretches out and disappears into the darkness. Rome's passed out in the passenger seat, and the girls are asleep in the back. He thinks Roscoe and his mutt might be awake, wedged in between the bottled water and the gas cans and the ammunition in the cargo space, but he can't be sure. Doesn't matter because none of it is keeping his eyes from slipping shut. They should probably stop, but they've got a lot of time to make up and they haven't put nearly enough miles between them and that zombiefuck town where they got jumped. Where Rachel and Mickey were lost.
The sun may be peeking over the horizon in their rearview, but he's not stopping until it's full daylight.
He loses a few moments of time and jolts back to awareness when he hits the rumble strips on the shoulder. Overcorrecting sends them toward the median, which wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't already a vehicle there. The jeep clips the edge of the vehicle and the world starts to tilt.
Brian knows everyone's awake now. They're all screaming as the jeep rolls.

Mia hates going out on patrol. Usually she doesn't do it, just keeps close to the clinic they've set up and makes sure everything is ready for exams and quarantines when (if) anyone is brought back alive.
Today, though, she needs to get out of the compound, out of the fortress of junked cars that has become her life, and see open spaces, if only for a little while.
She's staring out at nothing in particular when Tomas announces he sees a dog. That wouldn't be a big deal, except Henry follows it up with an excited exclamation of "people!"
Mia leans around the front seats of the van to look. She hates going out on patrol but helping people is her instinct. She's out of the van before it's fully stopped, running for the closest person.
The tall black man is carrying a young woman, both of them looking beaten and bloody and filthy. He drops to his knees when Mia reaches him, careful not to lose his hold on the girl.
"Thank you, God, you're real!"
Mia steps back when she sees the yellowish tint to his eyes, one of the telltale signs she's come to recognize over the last few weeks. "You're infected."
"The girl's not. No one else, just me." He looks at her, earnest and pleading. "Please, my friends. I just have to know that they're safe."
