antpowerRightio, so let's just all pretend that the time since Tuesday has actually just been one REALLY long day and that I'm not actually complete and utter fail!!
Okay, that's better!
THE HAPPINESS MEME
Rules: For eight days you have to post something that made you happy that day. Tag eight people to do the same.
DAY FOUR (THE INCREDIBLY LONG DAY THAT KIND OF FEELS LIKE FIVE DAYS FOR SOME WEIRD REASON
* MERLIN!! OMG, MERLIN!! I did not intend to watch you, even though my entire flist was flailing over you, because I thought to myself "self, you do not need another fandom and really, how good can it be?" and then I sat there and proceeded to watch the whole thing, without moving off the couch except to get snackfoods. Arthur has incredibly broad shoulders and a GIANT crush on Merlin, and Merlin has cheekbones that could cut glass and a GIANT crush on Arthur and I have a GIANT girlcrush on Morgana. (And also, wasn't Inoue played by the girl who was Zoe Slater on Eastenders? I thought she was supposed to be in Ibiza, not Camelot!!!)
* MERLIN FIC!!! YOU ARE JUST AS GOOD AS EVERYBODY SAYS YOU ARE!! I also love how every second person in Merlin fandom, I am recogising from either JE or SPN fandom, I WONDER WHAT THE COMMON THREAD HERE IS???? Not that I've delved all that far into Merlin fandom as yet, because it didn't take long for me to get distracted by shiny, shiny Arashi fic. <3 (Though, if anyone has recs, lay them on me!!!![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fluttering, I've worked my way through your AWESOME LIST OF AWESOMENESS!!)
* Speaking of Arashi fic, I read Things to do in Uzbekistan, which is like an Ohmiya SK origins fic, based on Ohmiya's own history for SK, and maybe everyone else has already read it, I don't know, but it's the greatest thing ever!!
* Although, Saudade bywaxrose is one of the most perfect things I've read in my life. This totally isn't supposed to be turning into a reclist, but hey, I've read a lot of fic lately!! XP
* Got paid!!! HELLO, COFFEE, I HAVE MISSED YOU TERRIBLY!!! <3333333
* Finished chapter 4 of my novel!!! Am actually happy with it! That brings my total word count up to almost 45,000, go me! Had a brief period of writer's block, but then started watching the Time concert and became unstuck around Friendship, and by Pikanchi Double, I was done. YAY!!! XDDDD
* My internet managed to stay connected for our writer's group!! Good times were had by all andmaegunnbatt made it online, yay!! <333333
* Had coffee with ex-boyfriend and the Cute Kitchen Boy acted suspiciously unhappy about this! Also, ex-boyfriend paid for coffee!! And herb bread! XD
* My sister came home for the weekend, as she has been stuck in Canberra and UNABLE TO WATCH THE JOHNNY'S COUNTDOWN! Watched it. It was still awesome.
* Wrote two chapters of AWESOME PRIVATE DETECTIVE!ARASHI FIC!! They wear trenchcoats!! JUN IS A LOUNGE SINGER! KAT-TUN are mafia guys and NEWS ARE HOT COPS!! (Except Massu, he's just a regular cop XP) Will probably need to find a beta at some point, as my tenses are all over the place and I'm worried about people being OOC.
* Uta no Oniisan. MORE LIKE UTA NO AWESOME!!! HE'S WEARING A PANDA SUIT, YOU GUYS!! A PANDA SUIT!! Only six more days, yay!!
* My nephew's housemate works at an electronics store and he's getting me a SUPER CHEAP new modem/router thingie, which means soon I won't have spastic internets anymore, BIG YAY!!!
Speaking of spastic internets, that's why my commenting has been so random lately, in case you were wondering.
Wowsers, I sure did pack a lot into that day!!! XP
I was going to do other memes too, but I kind of want to get this posted before my internet dies again, so I'll do them tomorrow.
Anyhoo, how are you guys??? <33333
Okay, that's better!

Date: 2009-01-10 10:43 am (UTC)You know what else would make you super happy??? ARASHI!!!! You should love them, because they make the whole universe better! If you like, I will do a whole BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO ARASHI post with handy links of stuff for you to watch, so that you can try it before you buy it, so to speak. XP
Re: who is this 'Failsy McFailsalot' you speak of? :)
Date: 2009-01-12 06:57 pm (UTC)YAY!! It won't be troublesome at all, it will be super fun!!! It might take me a day or two though (or longer, if my internets get cut off), but I am definitely working on it!! It's going to be the most awesome post ever!!! <33333

Date: 2009-01-10 09:40 am (UTC)I totally just started trying to put fics I liked in my memories, so it has a bunch of my favorite Arashi stuff (except a lot of things, I need to get on that) but at the moment has more Merlin. Unnnfortunately Cimorene seems to have taken down her "Ohmiya hugging inside a parka" fic that I was in love with, or I would rec that for you? D: D: D:
In the meantime, I don't know if you've already read these or not, but my (so far) all-time favorite Merlin fics that I've read over and over are MERLIN (http://moonythestrals.livejournal.com/59414.html) and Drastically Redefining Protocol (WIP) (http://rageprufrock.livejournal.com/tag/drastically+redefining+protocol). But there is tons of good stuff out there. I've read way more than I've memmed, but everything I put in my memories is something that I thought was in some way outstanding, so you are more than free to poke around there. :D
...Whenever I comment on your journal, I seem to think that the jewel/sequin thing at the very bottom is another way to post a comment, but it is not. D:

Date: 2009-01-10 02:59 pm (UTC)Oooh, I may have to pilfer your memories for Arashi fic!! I seem to have run dry on good stuff there at the moment, and I just wait for a few stories to be updated because I can't find anything else. I also have an extremely nice bunch of fics in my memories, if you want to pilfer back!! Ah, the parka fic sounds awesome though!
Ah, LONG FICS!! You know I'm totally going to start reading them now and that will be it for the night! (Not that I mind!) <3333
Ah, I'm sorry, that sounds like it would be incredibly annoying! I would totally do that if I was clever with coding and things!

Date: 2009-01-11 06:22 am (UTC)I found the parka fic! (http://cimorene.net/cimorene/arashi/stupid.html) ♥
Long fics are my gold!!! I love long fics!! Oneshots and short things are okay, but if something takes multiple LJ posts to be complete, it makes me so much happier! Unfortunately it also leads to nasty incidents like being glued to the computer screen until five or six in the morning. :x
It is perfectly fine! The little sequin thing just looks so delightfully clickable.

Date: 2009-01-12 06:51 pm (UTC)OMG THE PARKA FIC IS SO FREAKING ADORABLE!!! <33333333
I love long fics too, but I need to be in the mood, or else I feel rushed and while I really enjoy the fic, I kind of feel grumpy about everything else. XP
Yay, sequins!!!
no subject
Date: 2009-01-13 09:38 pm (UTC)IT'S SO CUTE. After reading it, there is nothing I want more to do than find a parka and cuddle with someone inside it.
I always love long fics, but I hate interrupting myself when I'm in the middle of one. Which... well, is troublesome. D:
no subject
Date: 2009-01-20 12:35 pm (UTC)I love you for your awesome fic linkage!! <3333
Yes, there's nothing more annoying than being in the middle of an awesome fic and then having to go to work or something!! Well, there's probably more annoying things, like getting bitten by giant bees or something, but interupted fic-reading is still pretty high on the list!!!

AND LIKE WHEN THEY GO TO MERLIN VILLAGE AND THAT GUY WILL IS ALL "OMG, YOU TOTALLY DUMPED ME FOR A PRINCE, I KNEW THAT MAGIC STUFF WAS JUST AN EXCUSE" AND MERLIN IS ALL LIKE "ARTHUR IS SO MANLY AND HOT, I WONDER IF ANYONE WOULD NOTICE IF I FONDLE HIM UNDER THE BLANKETS" AND ARTHUR IS ALL LIKE "I AM SO MUCH MORE MANLY AND HOT THAN MERLIN'S EX-BOYFRIEND"!!!Right, so I didn't mean to make a comment totally in capslock!
