So apparently I didn't manage to make a post about the Z thing, y'know? Eh, well... it was kinda hectic, what with trying not to join the legions of the undead or anything. Fortunately, a delivery of foodstuffs from a nearby bakery means we are well stocked for, well... the next week or so at the very least. Gotta love all these meat pies and cream buns to build up body mass... I'm a little too skinny for my liking at the moment. :(

In other news,

setissma wrote two Bones!fics & one Supernatural!fic as part of a First Kiss meme. Tres adorable! I'd try this meme myself, but I'm still kinda sorta working on an as yet untitled Lorne/Beckett fic that's being fussy about getting written. The words just don't wanna play nice. Ah, well.

Seriously, is there something about Easter and Jesus' Undead Shindig, or what, that brings out End-of-the-World vibes? I mean, firstly, there's Black Sheep coming out, uhh, tomorrow, and don't make me repeat the Multi-Fandom challenge I mentioned in my last post, and, oh, someone on my f-list chose to point out World War Z right about now... And also, May bring us 28 Weeks Later 'cause Lord knows that movie needs a sequel with, like, none of the original characters... Yeah.

Completely unrelated, although the Red Eyes might deceive you,

pandoras_evil_t posted a handful of pictures from her 21st, including a couple of me (and thus, the only important ones :P) so I figured I'd share. Hopefully she'll get a hold of more and we can sit back and admire them, too. We don't actually have any pictures of being out on the town, just ones from dinner... but hey. It was a grand time. *snerk* Photographic evidence of selling my panties would have been hilarious, now that I think about it.

( Lookit! All prettified )

...Andrea makes me look tanned. *laughs*

In a bid for more linkage... I decided to go looking for CSI: NY fanfic that was Danny-centric, but non-shippy. I found a few, before I got overwhelmed and beat a hasty retreat. But there's one I read, about Danny and Flack set between Seasons 2 & 3, called Brothers and Sisters (Everything I Can't Remember). There's a second, third, & fourth part, as well. And man... I try not to cry over fics. Sometimes I can't stop tears welling up and letting one or two loose. *shakes head* This fic had me damn near bawling by the end. I liked it a lot, though.

...and now I'll get back to betaing a fic for

So,

ana_grrl has posted a Multifandom Challenge: Small and Fuzzy During an Apocalypse . As she says:

It's spring! The sun is shining, the birds are nesting, and I don't have to wear 20 layers to go outside. I love spring. You know what spring makes me think of? Bunnies. And puppies! And the end of the world (nothing like a springtime apocalypse, I always say).

This challenge is about fuzzy (and possibly small) creatures and an end of the world scenario (or a post-apocalyptic one). How you include small fuzzy creatures is up to you! It could be in passing (Daniel mentions a legend involving puppies of the apocalypse?); they could be central to the story (zoonotic infections, anyone?); penguins could take over the world; it could be about Jake, the fuzzy doggy friend of Cylons and humans alike. Funny or grim, whatever strikes your fancy. Go nuts!

All the details are in her journal (follow the link above). Go have a look! Hell, write something and post it! Maybe even pimp it like I am! The challenge lasts until next monday, April 2nd. Not enough time? Bah, even I managed to get inspired. It's just a bit of fun. C'moooonnn.

Now,

shiseiji's boyfriend Matt and I have role-played together quite a bit, and nowadays he and I have been discussing this plan for a campaign. He's just acquired a book for deities and demigods, added to his huge collection of other books. Well, once, he had me enter my first Wheel of Time campaign as the Daughter of the Dark One. How could I resist? I mean, he did give me the alignment test about the third time we talked over the phone, and what did I get? Oh, yeah. Chaotic evil. So, anyhow, we've been talking about a campaign involving the Dark One, and possibly his Daughter. And the other characters, and the creatures.

Anyhow, we were talking again and then, I remembered: last night I had a D&D dream. I dreamed I was the Daughter of the Dark One, it was nearing End of the World type days. And me? I had an undead army at my command. At least ten vampires, several liches, many a zombie. And what did I do? I forced a lord--the lord who'd raised me as a child--to let us stay on his land, lest Papa turn his wrathful eye on his disobedience. Evil? Moi?

Hell yes.

Having Angelina Jolie, Keanu Reeves, Pierce Brosnan, a monk-in-training, and zombies all in the same dream makes for fun times. Also, being able to set zombies on fire with my mind is bloody cool. Many of my dreams lately carry the theme of some huge catastrophe having taken place, and I'm one of the survivors. Weirdness ensues.
I'm so tired for no good reason.
Liz is visiting her mum this weekend. Her mum's leaving for England on Tuesday so yeah. But I was talking to her yesterday morning as she packed. We had a lovely girl talk. I found out lots of things I didn't know (like where all her piercings are, or how many guys she's slept with). I told her about the retail therapy stuff. She searched all over her room several times to find her comic version of HHGTTG to lend to me, but couldn't find it. She did let me borrow her copy of the Truth by Pterry though.
I was going through the list, earlier, of all the Disc novels and seeing how many I've read and how many I owned. Well... trying to remember which ones I own. Five or six I should think. But I was a bit shocked and surprised to realise I've actually read most of them. I've started but never finished Pyramids, Moving Pictures, & Interesting Times. I've not read Guards! Guards! or Going Postal... no idea when I'll ever get my hands on Thud!
Ooooh. Someone get me a Spanish deck so I can play Cripple Mr Onion.

Evil Plan (tm)!

My objective is simple: to destroy the Earth.
My motive is a little bit more complex: hatred for all mankind

Stage One
To begin my plan, I must first assassinate Superman. This will cause the world to whisper among themselves, overwhelmed by my arrival. Who is this sadistic fiend? Where did she come from? And why does she look so good in battle armor?

Stage Two
Next, I must obliterate the Internet. This will all be done from a obsidian citadel, a mysterious place of unrivaled dark glory. Upon seeing this, the world will weep uncontrollably, as countless hordes of ninjas hasten to do my every bidding.

Stage Three
Finally, I must let loose my armies of destruction, bringing about an unending cacophony of screams. My name shall become synonymous with slaughter, and no man will ever again dare cross me. Everyone will bow before my unbreakable will, and the world will have no choice but to make me their new god.

Somebody, from reading that survey I filled, got the impression I'm one of those cutesy girls. Liek, OMG. I'm sorry, not emo enough for you? I never knew cutesy girls were into D&D either. Okay, I never mentioned, but so what? Byte me. *coughs* Bite me.

BITE ME!

Seriously. I'd be surprised to see a guy whip out his penis out at a frat party? Just because I chose NOT to express my violent tendencies in that community, doesn't mean I don't have them.
If I weren't me, I'd feel hurt. Mostly I'm just kind of amused that someone could get such an impression. I guess having a positive outlook is looked down upon these days. Goth/punk/emo is in.
Well, if that's what's in, I don't want to be in. Wait, I never want to be in. Fuck conformity. (I <3

hi_im_heather)
Why do I have to be all negative? Why must I moan about the world all the time? Well, fine. Here. This is what I really want to happen.

I want the world as we know it to end. No, not Armageddon. Not the Apocalypse (although that could be amusing). I mean, something cataclysmic happening. Something like the Day After Tomorrow. The planet's polarization is reversed because we discover a white hole (not yet proven to exist) next door. The planet reverses it's revolution about the sun, or its axis.
You, know, something.
Anyway, it'll throw the world off. Destroy civilization as we know it. No more satellites. No more TV. No more computers. No more cars, no more gas, no more airplanes. The very survace of the Earth is altered. Maps are out of date.
Millions are dead. Hey, maybe we even lose 1/6th to a 1/3 of the world's population. No more overcrowding. Utter chaos. Hoarding. No goverments. Complete anarchy. Shortages.
What do you do?
Can you hack it? Or are you one of those fat ass lazy bastards we kill for a bottle of water, because water is more valuable than gold? For the time being. We have to start ALL over again.
It's the Stone Age.
Hey, there's no promise that even I will last the event, whatever it is, that catapults us into this mess. My family may die. May? Most likely will. We will all lose someone, someones, we know. But those who make it... they get to try it all over again.
Begin anew. New organization. It will bring out the worst of humanity. But ultimately, it will give the best of humanity a chance, also, to succeed.

How do you like dem apples?
