Had to show off the "man pants" icon ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yin_again made for me. I love the expressions on their faces. You know the word "man pants" was just dropped.
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
I debated about sharing this, because sometimes intonation is so hard to get across online (which can cause sarcastic to come off as bitchy or joking to come off as "No, when I typed "licks you" I really meant "licks you." Come here, you sexy she-beast.)
I got a couple of emails last night about Rodeo (god bless that WKA site). One was just "Great! Off to read more" which, of course, yay. The other was, "Great! Loved it! What else have you written? You know, there's a rumor on my list that you're a BNF who's writing under a different name to get more feedback. LOL." Okay - that? Is a dumb plan. I'm much more likely to read a story by a name I recognize than some chick named after a Pink Floyd song. I shared this withstoney321, my first defense against 'serious fandom thoughts,' and she spewed her bottled Starbucks vanilla frappucino. "Yes! That's it!" she typed gleefully, "you're secondverse! You're...(cut for other popular fic writers I don't know well enough to name drop.)" Well, it would explain why I extol the greatness that is "Long Time Gone" at every opportunity (and getting this icon made this theory too precious not to share - plus Yin could use a laugh today and I owe her for said icon.) That said - no, I'm just Sue. Thanks for the implied compliment, but er, no. But still - giggle.
In other sabbath tales, I usually work on SMCD on Sunday (yes, I know that's too cute for words) but trust me, had I done so yesterday, Xander would have killed Spike with a clothespin after feeling like Spike had implied that Xander looked fat in his new jeans. I did the handwriting survey I gakked fromadis723 and it was so dead-on it was frightening. But it said I was dejected, which really made me feel, well, dejected. The only thing it didn't list about my personality was that I use humor as a defense mechanism (called "Bing-ism" in the psych field.)
So in order to get my mind off of things, I tried to watch "Monster," which I'd just gotten from Netflix. Yeah - that's a mood elevator. Halfway through I decided to turn it off before I lost what little perkiness remained and watch "The Sound of Music" instead. Hot Christopher Plummer, spinning Julie Andrews, singing nuns - what's gonna be wrong with that? Except I got really pissed off at Nazis all over again.
So I went to Wal-Mart with Caza because we were down to cookie dough, a can of tuna and some caramel sauce (and I had plans for the caramel sauce, wink, wink, nudge, nudge.) While I was staring at the bananas, wondering if I should just buy a green one, a chartreuse one and a canary one to make sure that the ripeness factor worked, a random guy shuffled over and told me that I had "nice legs." While I do have nice legs (I'm built like an umbrella), I had seen him just squeezing tomatoes with his wife a few bins over. I was about to return the compliment ("I love that you've paired those OU sweatpants with white socks and black sandals - very fashion forward!") his wife came to collect him and glared at me. Hey, not my fault that it was warm enough yesterday to wear my almost new corduroy miniskirt (I sawkyrieane's post that it's snowing in Wyoming - eek!)
And finally....(still reading? you must love me) I'm leaving Thursday to go meetstoney321. It's not my first time :::waggles brows::: karabair was my 'first' as well as being me old LJ sire. That should be a weekend of man pants, Wee!Spike, and margaritas (plus some cork soaking in honor of adis723.)
All right, I've rambled enough. Congrats totabaqui, becca17555, spikendru and paynbow for their new fic noms.
Okay - really this time - someone posted an anonymous lovely little ficlet in my comments on the last post. I want more, you who were not named!!!

and actually, if you were doing that, wouldn't it be kind of dumb to give all the personal info that you do on your website? unless, of course, the picture and everything are all false, just part of the alias. ooh, you're devious...
check me out. i've moved from my bed to my couch now and have turned on some lights. it's so dark. there's a crazy thunderstorm outside. i wanna roast s'mores.

You will take my SNIFF icon when you pry it from my cold, dead hand. I will be a "Memeber" (mis-spelling deliberate) of SNIFF 4-Eva!!!!
Have you had a chance to look at my and >lj user="Stoney321">'s bad fic over at her journal? Oh, God...and she added more this morning.

I love you. I'd say I love your angst, because it makes you say wonderfully snarky things. But I really want to beat your dejectness with a broken off robot arm until it makes squeally noises and gurbles into a pile of sludge.

How do you solve a problem like a BNF?
Date: 2004-10-18 11:41 am (UTC)From:So Multiple Miggs tossed off a funky complement to you, huh? (Hee hee. I worked that one HARD.)
Now that you've put SoM in my head, all I can think of is me spinning on the actual stage in Salzburg and yelling out "The Family VonTrapp!!" with the Korean family tagging along on our tour taking my picture.
*looks sad, pulls hands out from habit holding Nazi car parts*
"Forgive us Father, for we have sinned."
"Rolf! PLEASE!!"
Re: How do you solve a problem like a BNF?
Date: 2004-10-18 11:56 am (UTC)From:I told Caza last night as I was finishing SoM that you and Mr. Stoney had been to Salzburg and that you had amused/bemused Mr. Stoney by performing random scenes. Caza was amused.
I couldn't figure out what you had started too early. Drinking? As a full-back? And then I got it. Duh-uh. Yes, I want no PMS-y BFFLJ this weekend. I want perkiness! I want Mary Lou Retton!
I need a nap. Caza is a funeral (someone from church) and I'm kinda sorta at work.

It's like my body is made up of rubber bands and they are wound too tight. Bleh. Hot soak in the tub tonight is necessary. Any word on this anonymous LJ post-er? I need to make brownies and hot fudge sundaes. Stupid period.
