that shall be queen hereafter

Finals are over, thank you god, and I have scraped by again! *Rock Lee pose*

Now I have all this free time, you know? I need to write fic (accepting winter/Christmas-y prompts now~). And also knit (dammit, Heather, I blame you for this).

Speaking of, I've managed to backslide horribly into the Naruto fandom in the wake of that, well, divisive finale, and am going through my old favorite fics like a maniac. Watching AMVs. I feel like it's 2008 again or something, it's so weird. x'D

So how are you lovely people? Going through academic hell, making holiday plans, getting into new fandoms? What's happening? :D

And in this year's edition of Em's Mortifying Movie Preferences (this shit always seems to happen around Christmas): A Princess for Christmas, or Christmas At Castlebury Hall depending on which release you're watching. It's a 90-minute cheesefest with an extra side helping of cornball, as well as a dash of iffy-to-awful acting (particularly in the beginning).

But it has Katie McGrath in it, so naturally I loved the damn thing.

I am of course a cheeseball and a hopeless romantic and okay, fine, there's a few Hallmark movies that don't make me giggle helplessly at how terrible they are (see: Help For the Holidays because FRICKING SUMMER GLAU AS AN ELF IT'S TOO CUTE TO BE ALLOWED), so there are legitimate reasons why I might not dislike this movie. But let's face it, it all boils down to the same damn reasons I didn't laugh my ass off all the way through Thomas Kincaid's freaking Christmas Cottage--a gorgeous actor parading around in various scarves and knit caps and, in this case, a gorgeous sparkly dress. Oh, Katie, gorgeous, talented, beautiful Katie, I remain unsure as to whether I want to kiss you or be you. Ugh.

Biology is making me want to jump off a bridge. SO. Favorite and least favorite classes you've ever taken, go.

If any of you lovely people are also fans of the soul-destroying show known as Doctor Who...talk to me. Because the fall finale has left me dead inside. x'D

...and I just got an email from the library I applied to.

Is it terrible that I kind of wanted to stay unemployed for five minutes? x'D

So I saw Daybreakers, aka the most hilariously gratuitously bloody vampire movie since Lost Boys. It was glorious. There were scenes where you just couldn't do anything but giggle in a slightly hysterical manner. That aside, it was surprisingly well done. There was actually a plot, the atmosphere was nice, and all the creative little ways that the vamps had adjusted society to suit them (the tinted car windows, blood in the coffee) were interesting.

Mini movie review aside, here's something to think about. You know you've been reading way too much fanfiction in one fandom when traces of that fandom begin to bleed into everything you try to write. I made the mistake of starting an angel!Itachi oneshot months ago and keep feeling like I'm ripping off the SPN mythology. Not to mention my feeling that if I swap out the names, it reads a little too well as a Dean/Cas fic. Even ItaShi can't escape the taint. *sigh*

I'm blathering. How is everybody? Anything random to share?

Dear cold that has been causing me to cough and/or sneeze through every minute of my day for a week:



Your cooperation would be appreciated.

Sincerely,
Me.

I am confused.

That is all.

Feel free to use the comments for wild mass guessing again; that was fun last time. xD

Okay, so in a fit of procrastination-induced madness, I have decided to try and write something pairing Shisui with the weirdest person possible. (After working on your timestamp meme prompts, ronsard and morena238...^^;) Maybe I'll actually do it, maybe I won't, but either way...

Suggestions? XD
