Updated my layout today, along with my tag list. The tags should be much easier to read now and much more organized. Some day I'll get around to having a master post of fanworks/fandoms. SOMEDAY.

oneoffour111, you are killing me with Chiron on the Facebook RP. How would you like your Internet cookies delivered?

So I'm usually too scattered brained to remember to do these sorts of things, but since I actually remembered this time...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO mediate89!

Fanfiction.net, I'm not sure I like the redesign that you're doing with the page skip options. It is both confusing and obnoxious. Why on earth would I want the option of skipping six pages when I could pick what number I wanted the last time?

And holy shit, Twitter did a redesign on its front page too! Now all the Internet needs is a Facebook to do something ~drastic~ and we'll be good to go for the first unofficial Website Redesign Tuesday.

My mom has a ginormous romance novel collection, and one of my favorite things to do is look for the worst titles of the bunch when I come home. As a result, my favorite awesomely bad romance novel titles:

The Kyriakos Virgin Bride
Daring the Dynamic Sheikh
The Texan's Honor-Bound Promise
Touch Me in the Dark
Tall, Dark and Flithy Rich
The Playboy Boss's Chosen Bride
Forced Wife, Royal Love-Child

The last one is just all kinds of special.

In other news, we're expecting between 10 to 14 inches of snow beginning around noon tomorrow and lasting until Friday. Uh, yay?

So it seems like insanity seems to crop up whenever Icy Roses and I chat together, and this is what resulted from tonight. CAPSLOCK and CRACK abound. I make no excuses, and this probably isn't as amusing as I think it is.

( A day in the life on ONTD Olympus )

Icy Roses: Are you aware that we have the best conversations ever?
greenconverses: I am, yes.

OMG! 

Stephen Colbert mentioned fan fic on his show tonight!

He was talking about having Anderson Cooper on his show Thursday night and he said, "Gentlemen, start your fan fiction now!" 

Stephen Colbert knows about slashers! 

OMG!


although I rather strongly object to him using "gentlemen" considering most slashers are women. and most fan ficcers in general are women.

Did a bit of overhauling on my eljay tonight. 

Took for-freakin'-eva to figure out how I was going to display the background picture without it being covered up by ads or by the entries themselves because I am design illiterate. It also took a very long time to decide what theme I was going to use, but I ended up just going back to the old theme and choosing a different color scheme, which matches the picture well. And don't get me started on the picture, 'cause I kept changing that when I figured out the text would show up. 

So much drama for such a small space. 



The picture is of Sam Witwicky and Mikaela Banes from Transformers, which has become my new crack fandom. I'm such a sucker for big robots that go smash and silly teen romances. ;)  But I also think it's a beautiful picture - what Michael Bay lacks in storytelling he makes up for in gorgeous shots like this. 

The added lyric is from Before It's Too Late by the Goo Goo Dolls (yay) and is labelled - approriately - as Sam and Mikaela's theme on the Transformers soundtrack. This song's become my summer anthem and...well, the Goo Goo Dolls just kick ass. 


One more day 'til Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows! Yayz!


Damn it, I was supposed to go to bed early tonight.
