My soul is wrapped in harsh repose,
midnight descends in raven-colored clothes...
My spirit animal is seriously pissy today. I'm down in the dumps. Lower than an omoeba. Sorrier than a kicked dog. I don't feel good, okay? I'm trying really hard not to give in to a good old fashioned lj whine fest, followed by pleadings for cyber hugs. 'Cause really? Just not me. My WIP's stalled. I have a Xander ficathon story due in 3 days and I haven't written one word, and I think my general premise pretty much sucks. But I signed up months ago, before I started writing slash and asked for a Bander assignment. I know, I know. Me? 'Tis true. Instead I got Xander + 1st season demon. Probably should get working on it. All I want to do is listen to really depressing music and drink lots of wine and stare at pictures of dead rock stars. And wear black. And do fucked up things to my hair. ("Oh, god, it's serious!" I hear Stoney cry.)
Plus...Laz finished Repossession. I've read my last Repo. (Until I go back to read it again.) Today is a darkly beautiful day. Someone drive to Oklahoma and get drunk with me and help me write Part 11 of SMCD and this ficathon. C'mon, I'll get Stoney's recipe for a Charisma Nipple...

2. Charisma Nipples are so fucking good. I had, like, 6 last night, felt goooood and woke up happy. I HUMMED this morning. (That's huge)
3. If I could drive up there and drink with you and help make your fingers work faster on they keyboard, honey, I would. (I so almost called you drunk last night to say how awesome you were.)
4. DON'T YOU FUCKING TOUCH THAT HAIR!!!! Hee! Try not to forget your Southern roots. Make it bigger!! Dress up in a silly outfit, but DON'T CUT YOUR HAIR!!

Things to do when you get here
Date: 2004-09-27 01:34 pm (UTC)From:2. karaoke at a beer/burger shack we found in hick country up the road (!!!) I'll sing "Jolene!!"
3. each other
4. what?
Mr Stoney is "challenging" the airline that he'll travel X amount of times over the next several months, and if he does (which he has to for his job) he gets something like quadruple the air miles. So maybe he'll earn enough (in three years) to fly the four of us to New Zealand, and if there's a Marriott, woot! Save yer pennies fer the booze.
5. Laugh ourself sick
6. Do my impression of Morrissey for you. "A buck toothed girl from Luxembourg." Oh! And Joey Lauren Bishop! I kill the room with her.

Date: 2004-09-27 05:20 pm (UTC)From:I am saving the last chapters of Repo for some time when I have uninterrupted child- and husband-free moments. Then I plan to go and reread all my favorite bits again. Maybe I'll need to read some other stuff to cheer me up after that!
I wanted to tell you that as you recommended, I read Without Ceremony and my first impulse was to run down the street, yelling, "Now *that's* what I'm talking about! That's what fanfic is capable of!" to everyone I met. Maybe it's a good thing I didn't do that. I'll just meekly go over to TWOP and see if it's already been recced and if not, do so with more decorum and dignity than the running down the street thing. Elenabtvs was also responsible for Drive, which I loved.
So far from your list the other thing I hadn't already read that I've read is Intervention, and I was soooo frustrated to find that Part 19 was inaccessible. Is that just me? Or is this some cruel joke on the part of the writer/universe?
Again, glad that you're happier. Wish I could have been able to cheer you up -- you gave me a warm glow when you said you liked my LJ name! It's just an amalgam of some elements of my first and middle name (Anne Elizabeth). Couldn't think of anything more witty or creative.

Date: 2004-09-27 05:36 pm (UTC)From:Isn't Without Ceremony amazing? I hadn't read it until after I read tgray's Pornathon (of which "Drive" was an entry) and I enjoyed it so much, I emailed her much love and then went off to check out her other writings. I read Ceremony to Caza and he was opened mouth with admiration. Elena doesn't get nearly enough squees for that, in my opinion.
I got over my very bad day. In the past few days I've come to the realization that there are more than the few people I'm on a first name basis with reading my fic and it kind of made me self-concious (happily so, but still kind of "Whaaa??")
Email me sometime: crazydiamondsue@hotmail.com

Okay, I've Had Wine
Date: 2004-09-27 08:29 pm (UTC)From:"I have been filled with Spike's demon seed. I now swell with life. As his undead seed now transforms my body, his love has shaped my soul," Xander said.
"What?" Willow screeched, for she was full of witchly power, and therefore of herself. "That isn't possible!!!"
"It is," Tara cried passionately - yes, passionately, "it is possible. For I have given them my essence and what was once Xander has now become me, and what I once was has now become he. By Diana I command it!"
"Lovely rhyme, Glinda luv, my sweet bird, but even I'm thinking that's bloody gibberish, and I was there," Spike said, his eyes glowing the hot neon of a thousand beer signs as they raked her full, womanly figure.
"I have given of my life forming womanhood to Xander," Tara explained as Willow's eyes grew darker than death itself. "They wanted a child to prove that their love is as pure as that of a vampire for a slayer. This was a love beyond souls, beyond any canonical restraints. I could not deny them. We shagged, Willow," she said, hearing her lover's pained gasp and regretting it, (but still reveling in her many hours of hot man on man on witch love with Spike and Xander.) "Yes, we shagged majestically. Gaia and the forces of the earth blessed our coming together, and soon Xander shall bring forth the proof of that great love. He shall bring it forth with his bottom, for that is his true nature."
Xander, emboldened by the hormones now coursing through his body, and feeling kind of bloated, stepped forward and slapped Willow harshly across the cheek. "So don't bring back Buffy, because she was uptight and kind of righteous and she'd think this was dumb, okay?"
Spike jerked his head. "C'mon," he said to Tara and Xander. "We're all incredibly hot. There is more shagging to be had. Xander can still take my fierce reaming until right before he must give passage to the child created by my glorious cock, his soulful eyes and your bountiful bosom. I've got a raging hard-on and all this talk about bringing forth has me humping the air. Let's leave Red to work her magicks while we test the limits of believability."
"Sure," Xander answered, his hand caressing the living mound that was the realization of his love for Spike and their shared pillaging of Tara's ripe body.
"Okay by me," Tara answered, shrugging and leaving Willow alone, still clutching the urn of Osiris and a hand-lettered sign that read, "Welcome Back From Hell, Buffster!"
