Wee! JOIN!

Okay, so zoe_chan and I gave in tonight.

We've started a community for fic recs, and at the moment it's very developmental, but!

=D We have joy.

canon_nazis!! For all things canon-compliant.

This doesn't mean we say no to AUs or missing scenes or odd pairings. Just means we want fics that respect the canon source.

The most important thing I can say is that we want well-written fics. Right now, posting access is for members, but is unmoderated. It could change, but we'll see once we have some members and people posting.

Please, please join. We're open to most fandoms, so long as we are familiar with them.

And if anyone would like to volunteer to help judge whether or not fics from fandoms we're not familiar with are canon-compliant, feel free to let us know!! =D

Shouldn't be so complicated...

I love Matchbox 20, btw. (Hence the subject of this post. Playlists are great.)

I have Ben and Jerry's chocolate fudge brownie ice cream waiting for me in the freezer. This makes me alternately hyper-happy and uber-guilty. Because since dorm fridges suck, you pretty much have to eat the whole pint once you start.

And I'm not even recovering from a love affair gone wrong. ;) But I do require vast amounts of chocolate. So, yum.

I might write.

I switched classes and am now taking a senior sem, and the prof seems really great and what's a 10 page research paper after all? My current fic is 10 pages right now. And my portfolio was like a thousand. ;) I almost wept with joy over that. I feel pathetic.

Totally have read 15 pages of Beowulf and so much better than in high school. Dude. People keep rolling their eyes and wincing when I mention it, but I'm liking it. GEEK.

We have a flood. A seriously huge one. The ice jam is right down the street under the bridge. I totally called it Tuesday, too, when Tina and I came back from Walmart and I looked at the river and knew a storm was coming Wednesday.

So the soccer field is a river. Cumberland Farms, Gifford's ice cream and McDonalds' are under water. And there's a milk truck frozen in the water, because while yesterday and this morning it was still running water, tonight it's frozen.

So although the water's going down... Route 4 through Farmington is closed.

This shouldn't be a source of amusement, but it so is. And I never made it down to look and oo and ahh and take pictures. Sadly. Now it's dark and cold. Ah well.

Two years ago, the river flooded and 39 cars were ruined when the school lot flooded, so they repaved and raised it the 3 feet it flooded. They are paranoid and make people move their cars everytime a flood threat arises, so luckily, no one is parked there now. Which is good, because it flooded at least a foot over those 3 feet.

Heh.

Was amused when Steph and Tina returned from Student Teaching and interning in a day care. They were so wiped and *both* just flopped onto Steph's bed and I thought... yeah, I don't miss THAT. Dinner, needless to say, was fairly quiet. And I played druggist and gave them both headache meds.

Sadly, I think my OBC RENT soundtrack is scratchy. Because in iTunes disk 1 is skippy. This makes me sad. (But my car plays it just fine, oddly...)

I so wanna write, but have NOTHIN'. Any ideas/requests? (I mean, besides my current piece that keeps growing exponentially and I think I'll have to break it into chapters or chunks and that's just... wow. But I'm wanting something short and sweet, tonight.)

Dancing with the Stars at 8! It's a good thing Steph's a reality TV junkie, too. Heh. Gotta love it, though, when ballroom dancing becomes cool.

Flood pics, just cause...

Yeah, the flood I mentioned? Happened in December of 2003, and ( here are some pictures, just because )

Yeah, so the water's even higher than that now. And has way more ice chunks in it. And is now freezing over across the field...

I forgot my LY!!!!

Oh, we're too much for even me.

( Typical conversation, really... recorded for posterity's sake )

( And have I mentioned my Grammar Nazi alter-ego? )

And it's just that kind of productive evening.
