OK, you guys, I finally got around to watching the first two eps of S3 Eureka ( and I have this to say: )
Other than that, JACK! How can I forget how much I love him? *squishes him up*
This weekend I was supposed to go see my Dad sing, but I was too dizzy to drive the 350 mile round trip. Bastard. So I've mostly been watching TV and teaching myself to crochet granny squares via the medium of YouTube. Finally, a use for all my odds and sods of wool. \cat/ I also fitted a new radio into my car (because I am awesome) and had a long IM conversation with Vonnie where we both talked in faux Elizabethan English the whole time for no good reason. Oooookay then.

I had to come home from work early because the dizzies were bad (don't think driving 80 miles yesterday helped at ALL) BUT that meant I got to be here when my Christmas present was delivered \o/\o/\o/\o/\o/ (EEEEEEE Guitar Hero: World Tour! When I play 'Eye of the Tiger', I'm going to pretend to be Jensen Ackles, see if I don't.)
A little story for you.
Today is Children in Need day, which means, among other things, mostly the kids are out of school uniform. So in Boy H's class we had kids in stripes, kids in spots, kids in girly pink, you name it, but, you know, pretty much looking like little kids. And then we had L. Dressed in a black t-shirt with a silver pattern on it (including a skull), a black hoodie, black jeans and black, canvas baseball boots. He's six.
Me to Student Teacher - OMG, he's an emo kid!
Student Teacher (who is easily in her 40s): I bet he listens to My Chemical Romance.
Me: YES! Where's his fringe?
Student Teacher: (sings) When I was a young boy,
Me: (joins in) My father took me into the city,
Class Teacher (who is also easily in her 40s): (joins in, the volume swells) To see a marching band.
Children: O_o
Us: *fall about laughing*
Later, Boy L was sprawled on the carpet (he is a fidget).
Me: Nobody understands your pain, do they, L?
Lying down, now.

You guys! (Or the tiny subset to whom I'm talking right now. *hearts*) I hate this title thing. It took HOURS to figure out this one and I still don't like it. But it's got, like, 39234023 different meanings so it's staying. Anyway. Fic. What got the signature thumbs from
mrs_laugh_track. It seems like we've been doing this forever. *squish*
Wat/Chaucer, R, 1800 words, following on from Ramble On and Further On Up the Road. Can be read as a stand-alone, but the universe will probably make more sense if you've read 'em all.

Det. Dani Reese: Why would the Universe be making fun of us all?
Det. Charlie Crews: Maybe it's insecure.
Oh yeah, I have a new TV boyfriend.

Still dizzy, still bored. So I, um, watched A Knight's Tale again and then wrote this little ficlet. As you do. And as I'm still bored, I'm posting it. (Also, I get to use the icon that
belmanoir made for me (yay!) and I put text on. I have a feeling you'll be seeing it a lot.) Smooches to
mrs_laugh_track whose thumbs remain in the up position.
Wat (Wat/Chaucer, kinda), R (I DON'T KNOW, OK?), ~900 words, summary's in the title.

It would appear that, in a 'look, I'm not that evil, really!' attempt, my labyrinthitis has struck early, which bodes well for my Christmas-month-of-glee but really does not bode well for now.
God.
I checked back in my lj. Last winter I had to be off for 6 days (plus two weekends). Please let me get better quicker this time. We're currently on Day 2. Fun tiems.
Blah blah booooooooored blah blah can't do anything requiring brain power/concentration blah blah ARGH blah blah whiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.

Dance for me, little monkeys, dance! (Did I say that out loud?)

What better way to celebrate Obama's glee-making victory than with an angsty fic set in a time when democracy was just something those long-ago dirty Greeks did? Um. Though I suppose with the way Prop 8 is going...not so out of place.
One day I will stop titling my A Knight's Tale fic with titles from the soundtrack. Today? Not that day.
Notes: Philippa, Chaucer's wife, only turns up in a deleted scene (or the extended version), neither of which I've seen. Therefore, I'm not counting as canon the fact that Wat knows about her. Just so you know. Thanks again to
mrs_laugh_track for the up-pointing thumbs (of great justice). And to the medieval church for being so screwed up it wouldn't recognise love if it bit it in the ass.
Wat/Chaucer, probably PG-13 (tending towards R, my definitions are wavy), 3000 words, sequel to Ramble On, but can be read as a stand alone.
'It is agreed among all men that there is no good thing in the world, and no courtesy, which is not derived from love as from its fountain.
Cappelanus, The Art of Courtly Love, btw 1174-1186

Here's the thing, California. With over 40% of first marriages in the US ending in divorce (and by the way, California, you stopped reporting your own rates in 1980 because they sucked so hard), what exactly is it that is making marriage a sacred institution between a man and a woman?
40% of people pissing on that institution? Yes, clearly you all take it very seriously indeed.
So here's my suggestion. No one gets to be married. No one gets to use the term marriage any more because, frankly, darlings, the world as it is makes a mockery out of it. EVERYONE, gay, straight, transgender, WHOEVER, gets to have a civil partnership. Rights are equal and WE ALL GET OUR HEADS OUT OF OUR ASSES.
/this post brought to you by righteous indignation and a dizzy head.

So Chaucer said that if Wat got a POV then he should, too, because he's an author ffs and of course he'll do it better. So I said fine but you're not getting porn. And he said whatever he was perfectly capable of doing that bit in his head once the fic ended. And then I wrote this and Sonia thumbsed it up so here it is for you dedicated few. (5000 words in two days, wtf? I would like my brain back now, please, I have a freaking Big Bang to write.) Absolutely no relation to yesterday's fic at all.

I'm somewhat overwhelmed at the feedback I've had on Don't Let Kowalski Interview the Perp! Thanks guys, I kind of needed that.
So what better way to completely turn that on its head than by writing a fic that maybe three of you will read? \o/ But I watched A Knight's Tale last night and then had a you-no you discussion with
mrs_laugh_track over who should write Chaucer/Wat porn called 'Takin' Care of Business' and I'm pretty sure we agreed it wasn't going to be me. But then I did. Oops. And then she told me it worked, so really? It's all Sonia's fault.

Written/created for the
ds_flashfiction genre challenge.
Because Kowalski is five and should be in a children's book.
Based on the entirely hilarious Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus! by the incredibly talented Mo Willems.
Due to the nature of this fic, it's housed off-site. Click on the images to continue through the book. Oh, and you might want to practise yelling "NO!" because audience participation is half the fun.
Don't Let Kowalski Interview the Perp!
That was a LOT of work, but much fun. Hope you like it.

I am totally obsessed by Lack, by Porno Graffiti. I blame the excellent 01 Boxer (Charlie Jade) vid by Kay. It is so ridiculously hot. *goes to listen for the 2293847293847th time today* You should all listen, too, and attempt to sing along to the Japanese so I'm not the only idiot around. (Although you probably won't get the 'yeah, I'm so cool' reaction without the vid - which you can find here [password protected but easy to get and WELL worth it])
I've been having a hard time getting going on writing (or creating of any kind other than knitting) lately, so I was kind of trepidatious about dealing with Iggy's prompt for her mad-music-guessing-skillz prize. But the fic (Bigmouth Strikes Again) slid out nice and easy and wow, it was so good to be back in the not-noticing-time-passing writing groove. So maybe prompts are the answer for now. Here's the plan. I'm fairly sure people have said in comments in other journals here and there, 'hey, cat should write X,' but being the flake I am, I have no idea what those things are. If you have one, or if something suddenly occurs to you that I NEED to write, come and prompt me with it. I promise nothing, but at least I'll have this post to refer back to if I need inspiration. (Who knows? Maybe it'll get me going enough to do something about Big Bang. La la la.)
The floor is yours. (And maybe the ceiling, too, if you ask nicely.)
MAN, I am so hungry. What's with that?

So when
ignazwisdom won my Chainlink Music Meme, I asked her to prompt me for her prize. She wanted Jimmy/Chazz and the words 'butt pirate'. This is what happened - I think all blame should be laid at her feet, don't you? Iggy, honey, I hope you like it.
This fic takes place in the same universe as There Is a Light That Never Goes Out, but it doesn't need to have been read first. Many thanks to
nos4a2no9 and
dancinbutterfly for braving the dirty-bad-wrong and providing beta.
I would summarise it, but this quote from Nos says everything I want to say:
I think this may be my very favourite story that features both discussion of felching AND cookies.
Ta-da!

Hey there, flist of joy.
Anyone who a) is not
ignazwisdom, b) has seen Blades of Glory, c) is preferably American, available to beta a fic for me? It's not time-sensitive unless Iggy's intending to send assassins of doom after me for not giving her her prize STAT, but I think I'm safe for the moment.
All help very gratefully received.
Look, Nos! I wrote stuff. (Possibly it's something that should never have seen the light of day, but hey. Fic.)
ETA. Sorted, with big thanks to

A week today I'm heading to the Aged P's to pick up my mum's car and claim it as my own. My car appears to be well aware of this fact.
In the last couple of weeks it has nearly failed to start several times, failed to engage the handbrake (so I started rolling backwards on a petrol forecourt - /o\ ) and refused to let me open the boot - where I keep EVERYTHING I need for my job - it's like a mobile office. But messier by a factor of a gazillionty. Then, a couple of days ago it let me open the boot again! Triumph? Uh, no. Next it wouldn't let me open the glove compartment. I locked and unlocked it. Wouldn't open. I used the scraper thing as a crowbar. Wouldn't open? I glared at it. Wouldn't open. Bashed the dashboard above and either side. Wouldn't open. And my radio was inside. Waaaah.
Today I stopped for more petrol and thought, right, that's it. So I kicked it. Hard. Three times.
Wouldn't open. *sigh*
So then I pulled it the tiniest bit it would open, got my fingertips in and yanked. Um. It opened. Oh, yeah, it opened. The lock entirely broke off and a whole bunch of tapes came tumbling out. La la la. You'd think that'd be the end of that, right? No. I got out of the car and went to take off the petrol cap to fill her up. It wouldn't budge. Maybe I didn't lock it the last time so by unlocking I just locked, I thought. I turned the key. Nope. Definitely locked now. Turned it back and tried to unscrew the cap. Nothing.
At this point I considered hysterical laughter or turning on the girly eyelashes and asking a random strong man for help (not like a fairground strongman with barbells and leopard print pants and a twirly moustache - we don't have them randomly wandering about the countryside - leastways not where I work) but decided to give it one last heave. It turned.
IDK, people, I think my car is taking the piss. I am just about to drive it 120 miles down the road for the weekend. This could be the Worst Plan Ever. If you never hear from me again, know I died thinking about hot boys having lots of sex together. *clings*

Maybe I didn't lock it the last time so by unlocking I just locked, I thought. I turned the key. Nope. Definitely locked now. Turned it back and tried to unscrew the cap. Nothing.
At this point I considered hysterical laughter or turning on the girly eyelashes and asking a random strong man for help (not like a fairground strongman with barbells and leopard print pants and a twirly moustache - we don't have them randomly wandering about the countryside - leastways not where I work) but decided to give it one last heave. It turned.
IDK, people, I think my car is taking the piss. I am just about to drive it 120 miles down the road for the weekend. This could be the Worst Plan Ever. If you never hear from me again, know I died thinking about hot boys having lots of sex together. *clings*
- tell me now how do i feel:
concerned
