Meme time!

Stole this from ink_on_the_page because it's just too fun to resist!

I promise to send something handmade to the first 6 people who leave a comment here. It would be awesome if you would post this on your own journal and send things to people.

The only rules are that:

1) it must be handmade by you and,
2) it must be sent to your 6 people sometime within 2011.

I tried to do this once years ago, but one of my ny resolutions has been to find more motivation and do shit, and I'm actually succeeding pretty well, so this is getting done this time, bitches.

It would be totally douchey of me to limit to this to people only in the US, so I'll send it wherever. I can't promise anything too specific, but I would like to give you some options, so let me know if you want a piece of jewellery (and if so, what type, and what colour scheme, and silver or gold findings), something that can be used to decorate your room/house/apartment (and if so, you can give me a theme or colour scheme to work with), Japanese calligraphy (you can pick what you want it to say), a drawing (you can pick any person or pairing, but I warn that this is the area where I am least skilled), or baked goods (I'm very good at this, but I'm not sure how well it would travel, so you should probably only pick this if you're in the US). You can pm me or email me with your address :D

Can you believe it???




So, did anyone else get one of these? I'm guessing it's either Northern Downpour or pre-order...

(no subject)

Third post in a day, what? (I still have one slot available on my crafty-meme, btw).

So, now that I'm getting (fairly) close to finishing the elf!Frank fic, I've been thinking a lot about what will come next, and I can't get this Unbreakable au out of my head. I'm a little torn over whether it will be Brencer, Peterick, or Gabilliam, but I'm leaning towards Brencer just because while Pete and Gabe have their fair share of angst and emo-ness, neither of them are the sort to suffer silently through it, and they're such famewhores they'd never keep a superpower secret from the people around them. Brendon, on the other hand...

So, yeah, if you haven't seen Unbreakable or don't know what I'm talking about, it's a very loose adaption of the film wherein Brendon has always had his abilities but never realised it. So he comes from a fairly small town where there's not a lot of crime, and he doesn't come into contact with the criminals, so he never sees anything. But then when he moves to the big city for college, he'll be riding home at night on the bus or train and he'll occasionally imagine the person sitting next to him doing these horrible things--abusing their kids, or raping women, or murdering people--and he thinks he's just seriously fucked up, like how can he imagine these things, right? And maybe he thinks it's just that his parents warned him about the dangers of the big city, but he had to go anyway.

But then one day he sees a news story and he recognises the face of the killer as the person he was sitting next to, and he realises he saw that murder before it happened and he could have done something. And Brendon's not the sort of person to just sit by and let this shit happen, but he doesn't have the super-strength that Bruce Willis did (though I might give him the invulnerability, but I'd have to figure out what his weakness would be) so he's just this normal guy hunting down these people and trying to fix things without getting himself arrested.

And his job starts suffering because of it, and everyone there, including his superior Spencer think that he has a screw loose because he's coming in looking sleep-deprived and sort of wild-eyed, and just goes through the motions like a zombie, and maybe more than once he's got bruises or cuts or something. Eventually Spencer has to fire him because he's always late or disappearing, or just not performing up to standards, and he's sort of creepy, right.

So Brendon's alone and jobless and hopeless, but he can't let these people suffer. And then IDK if Spencer sees him saving someone else, or if Brendon saves him, but, yeah. That happens. And then I have no idea what happens from there, other than it ends in gay sex, yay!


Meanwhile, ugh, how do you tell someone you hate to fuck off, but in a polite way?

ETA: Because I keep meaning to mention it in a post and then forget, and because I'm fucking proud, I have lost 17 pounds since January 10th, and I love exercise. Hecks yeah, bitches! I'm gonna be hot at the My Chemical Romance shows!
