The forest

Of all my new year's resolutions (which are various and sundry) and already such a joke (despite January not being over yet) that I can't help but to laugh at my own self-delusions, writing every day is the one I should aim for.

I've been moody all of last week, prompt to snap at people and just easily annoyed. 1,000 words later, I feel like an addict who has gotten their fix. The world is such a brighter place when I manage to string words together to create something new. Now, if I could actually convince myself to do it every day.

This a brilliant post about Mary Sues You should go read it now. Very insightful!

I loved it!

There are things I want to say on this, but I don't really know how to articulate them. Also, for the record, I've been known to love me some Mary Sues a time or two, and as of now I will stop being ashamed of this.

I've been going through some kind of old fandom nostalgia. I've spent the last days re-reading stories in fandoms I'm no longer active in and enjoying the bittersweet memories of a time in which I lived in those fandoms, breathed them in, couldn't imagine my life without them. It seems oddly far away.

True love how fleeting you are.

Some stories, I loved just as much as before, if not more. It was interesting to read them again, now that the all-consuming passion for the fandom itself is no longer there. It allowed me to notice things about style and writing that I subconsciously enjoyed but wasn't aware of at the time. The most curious thing was finding stories that I remember loving, which just don't do it for me any more: They bored me to tears. Have my tastes changed so much? Or was I blinded by fandom obsession back then? I'll never know.

It still feels surreal to look at calenders and realize is December. Christmas lights and decorations have taken over the world (or at least my part of it) and the city is crowded with people drinking mulled wine and buying trinkets at Christmas markets (myself included) but yet, a part of me still clings to the idea that the year has barely begun, and it can't possibly be over.

The sad/funny thing is that every year is the same. I remember thinking last year, "Wait a minute, March was just a couple of weeks ago, how come we have Christmas?" At least this time my inner calender seems to have made it until June. I remember June being not so long ago.

Maybe I should start my Christmas shopping before is June again for real.

So, today I wanted to:

- clean the apartment (does cleaning half of it count?)
- tidy up the place (SUCCESS! I want my medal!)
- cooking (SUCCESS! and tasty, too)
- get all my plants ready for winter (here's hoping that it won't drop below zero because that's so waiting until next Saturday)
- put away the clean laundry (if anyone asks, I'll just tell them that decorating living rooms with clothes is the new trend)

I still think it was a productive day, and I would have managed everything, except that at noon some friends called and I took my dog and went to the dog park with them. He (my dog) had a lot of fun (and got very dirty, but that's what dog parks are for). The weather was lovely, sunny and crispy, with that edge of looming cold typical of late fall threatening to become winter.

When I got back I had the most amazing birthday present in my inbox (courtesy of akelios), a hot as fuck Marcone/Dresden/Hendricks threesome. So, so good!

And now I will spend the rest of my evening writing some porn myself. I can't let others have all the fun, can I?

It's safe to assume that I'm going to be expending a significant portion of my salary at the French patisserie that opened near my place. I won't stop until I've tried everything they have.

On a different note, it'd be nice if RL would stop interrupting my fandom time :(

The day was glorious: I didn't need to work. I spent a wonderful afternoon at a spa with a friend, relaxing and feeling wonderful.

And then I came home and broke my car's left side mirror parking--not the mirror itself, but the plastic casing surrounding it :(

On the one side, I'm pretty angry at myself for not noticing it was gonna happen on time. On the other hand, I still feel so relaxed and happy that it's hard to hold on to the anger. Such a weird feeling. Usually, I'd be spitting fire and cursing myself nonstop. Instead, I'm feeling all zen about it, and searching for the silver lightning.

I did manage to put it back together thanks to a generous use of Scotch tape (I didn't have superglue), and it doesn't look too bad, if I say so myself. You have to know it's broken, or really look at it to notice the scotch. So, I guess I will leave it like that for as long as it lasts instead of having it replaced.

What's with Mystic Falls and town parties? Is that like a normal states of affairs in the U.S.?

I'm starting to suspect TVD can't plot unless there's some kind of historical party involved.

Oh, Alaric! Oh, Damon! *hugs both of them*

I got a lot of new invite codes today, in case anyone is interested or knows someones who is interested feel free to point them here.

Some people are shy about actively asking for codes, so I'm just going to post the ones I have here. That way anyone who wants one can grab it. You don't have to know me or be part of my flist/circle. I'd be great if you let me know if you use them, but even that isn't really necessary.

The wonderful kadira and I are going to spend tomorrow at the Frankfurt Book Fair! I'm so very exited about this.

A whole day walking through the biggest book and media fair in the world, talking fandom and slash and in general catching up with each other. It's going to be so awesome!

Why isn't it Saturday yet?

All those books! In all those languages! I can't wait!

Things making me happy:

• Writing and coming up with ideas for the evil AU akelios and I are currently working on. It's set on Dresden Files's universe and so deliciously dark and fucked up.


• Tweaking and playing with Pinboard: I have installed Greasemonkey scripts, Firefox add-ons, custom buttons, participated in pools. I feel all invested in this.


• Suits, the fandom


• The 3rd season of The Vampire Diaries -- specially the whole Stefan/Klaus thing they've got going.

Things making me not so happy:

• Knowing I have to clean my turtle's water tank. DONE!


• The fact that I can't seem to make up my mind whereas I want to change my job or not.


• The little voice in my head telling me I need to act more like a grown-up.

This post was brought to you by the lack of slash in my life due to RL issues.

Here's hoping that tomorrow might bring me some slash.

This describes my life as it currently is. For the longest of time I thought I was alone, since all my RL friends are so very responsible, but it's good to know there are others like me out there. Yay!

I think everyone is going to be posting something along those lines today, but OMG WTF? Why did you break Delicious? Do not fix things that weren't broken!

ETA: I just imported all my bookmarks to pinboard and it worked. My tags are there, and all my bookmarks are there, too. I feel a bit more relaxed now, since I couldn't even see my bookmarks and tags on Delcious. I was terrified they were lost.

I'm so distressed still, I needed to change my icon. That never happens!

I'm traveling to London this weekend. I'm so looking forward to it. And miracles of miracles they will have good weather.

I'm loving this new season so much, though it could have more Bonnie in it as far as I'm concerned. I hope we'll get even more Bonnie later on.

( Now, regarding that 2nd episode, with spoilers of course )

It's probably extremely childish, but the twelve-year old in me is actually filled with glee at the notion that there's a political party in Germany called the Pirate Party and that they actually won 9% of the votes in Berlin.

Then I imagine serious, stuffy-dressed traditional politicians, telling their secretaries, "Call the Pirates, we need to discuss budget!" And I have to laugh and laugh and laugh.

No, the fact that their political agenda probably has a maximum of three points, if at all, doesn't diminish my glee any.

How could I have possibly forgot that? I've been looking forward to this season since last season ended, and now it's finally here.

Will Vampire Diaries trump Suits as my new TV love? *is curious*

I don't know why, but I seem to have forgotten to post this story to my journal. I was so sure I'd posted it, but I can't find it in any of the entries. Anyway, moving on. I did post it to AO3, so there's that I guess. It was my first fill for this year's kink_bingo. Square: "Vehicular."

Title: Commitment
Author: forestgreen
Fandom: Star Trek (2009)
Raiting: PG-13
Content notes:(skip) Vehicular Sex, Masturbation
Characters: Jim Kirk, Enterprise
Word count: 1,500
Notes: I want to thank v_angelique for her help betaing this. All remaining mistakes are mine.

Summary: It felt right, to be here, doing this. Him and his girl. No intruders, no voyeurs, just Jim and the Enterprise.

( Jim had to bite down the urge to laugh out loud when he heard the sentence of his final hearing. )
