Oh god guys how did we miss Kai/Max how did we not realize that this was the greatest Bladebreakers pairing someone get me a pic of Max hitting on Kai wearing nothing but American flag skivvies and a smile

I mean in a fandom where we paired up anyone and everyone just to prove we could, where I wrote Dickinson/Tala and kind of liked it, how did we overlook something so simple?

Blows my mind, dudes

So for a long while I forgot why I ever loved Ray/Kai, and then I watched Kai try his darndest to give Ray a pep talk, and I remembered ♥

Watched Wrath of Khan, definitely cried even though I know it shall be shortly followed by Search for Spock. The look on Kirk's face when McCoy calls him down to begin with, when he looks at Spock's empty seat and it hits him all at once like a punch to the gut. And ohhhhhh man, when Spock's sliding down against the glass wall, and Kirk follows him, their palms pressed together, until they finally collapse to the floor, back to back. And when Kirk has to pause during the eulogy to stop himself from crying, I just totally lost it, it was really too much.

Is a bond like theirs even possible, I sometimes wonder, can the human heart even handle emotion so deep, faith so unwavering, love so unquestioning? I am not sure mine could, I suppose that might be my loss.

Just got back from Sherlock Holmes, I totally and completely loved it guys.

Dear Doyle fans who may be reading this,

If you're boycotting this based purely on the trailers then seriously just go see it. I cannot guarantee you will like it but I can guarantee you that the trailers totally misconstrue the movie (as they are wont to do guys how have you not learned this lesson). So just go, or at least rent it when it comes out, and pass your judgements then. I have only read Baskervilles so I cannot really tell you where Downey!Holmes and Doyle!Holmes diverge but I will try and address some of the points that I have heard folk make about the trailer in a non-spoilery manner:

1) Holmes is not even remotely a sex hound in this movie. There is one lady, no makeouts, and frankly Holmes just doesn't know quite what to do with her.
2) Yes there are action sequences. No they do not take up the whole movie, and yes they fit rather neatly into the overall plot.
3) Yes there is a mystery, yes Holmes uses science and cleverness to solve it.
4) Watson is totally badass.
5) Holmes drinks his fair share (it is RDJ what do you expect) and ingests some substances of dubious nature, but my guess is because alcoholics sell better than coke addicts, can you really hold it against them.

tl;dr: Yes it is a Hollywood action-infused Holmes, no it is not to the jaw-dropping extent that the trailer might lead you to believe. So just give it a try imo, if only for the liberal application of Holmes/Watson jokes.

Ugh, pen on my tablet is starting to act up, the tip keeps sticking and being weird, gotta be more gentle with it I guess. At least replacement pens for bamboos are only $30 US (although once you factor in shipping one might as well buy a new damn bamboo they are like $70). Could always draw with the eraser side I suppose!

Family is planning to see Sherlock Holmes tomorrow, I am pretty excited, please don't be sold out, tickets!

I watched the last twenty minutes of Live Free or Die Hard and wondered, whose bright idea was it to kidnap John McClane's daughter that is basically the worst plan.

ETA FOR GIP AHHHHHHHH SPACE BROSEPHS

Just watched the first Star Trek movie (hurray for Space's timely marathon, I have five more waiting in my recorded TV list) and OH MY GOD when Spock grasped Kirk's hand all "This, Jim, it can't understand this" I seriously teared up a little bit, oh god I love their relationship so much it is criminal. Spock please never stop being Kirk's best friend, please never forget that there are things that are so much more important than logic.

And Kirk, Kirk knew what Spock wanted when he grabbed his arm, he grasped hands with him without thinking, like instinct, and it is the little things like that which make me remember that despite what my fucked-up brain canon sometimes speculates, Kirk loves Spock as much as Spock loves Kirk.

Best. Friendship. Ever.

This Christmas was a good one for movies! I got Star Trek and Public Enemies, the bro got Inglorious Bastards and The Hangover; Bastards is the only one we didn't get to. The Hangover is HILARIOUS, Public Enemies is tight but needed more madcap bank robbery, and I forget how much I love Star Trek until I come back to it. Although after that physics class a few things nagged at me--namely a) How can you not think of space as the thing that is moving that is a cardinal point of general relativity and b) BLACK HOLES DON'T WORK LIKE THAT--but it is Star Trek you just gotta ride the ride.

One thing I cannot figure out about my brain, though: in TOS I manship ("bromance" for those unfamiliar with my terminology) Spock and Kirk in much the same way I do House and Wilson; that is to say, I think their relationship is a beautiful thing that only comes around once in a lifetime, but I am not really into them banging under most circumstances. In the movie, however? I ship it like it's going out of style. What the hell, self! Their relationship is only just starting, and Uhura's in there complicating matters, why in the damn hell do you only ship them in the romantic sense in movie-verse??? It is not a hotness factor, young!Shatner and young!Nimoy are fine as anything and I do not really even find Zach or Chris all that foxy. I mean they are above average to be certain but they are a boring sort of attractive imo. They do both have nice eyes, though...

Anyway.

Brain I just do not understand you even a little bit.

Merry Christmas dudes and ladies! Hope your holidays or not-holidays are going well.

I was browsing through my folders and got all nostalgic, so today I bring my Pandect friends the gift of "the good ol' days" and my non-Padect friends the gift of wacky superheros and penis jokes.

Auuuugh I sent two people the same prompt for the what_the_fruk exchange (for a person that actually DROPPED OUT and I didn't think to say, "Hey dude you can finish this or not it doesn't really matter" man I am the worst mod) Man I am starting to think I need a co-mod just to check and make sure I didn't fuck stuff up.

Anyway. Sending out SOS's to the backup writers and if no one responds I'll have to roll up my sleeves and handle it myself. FRUK FOR GREAT JUSTICE

Aaaaaand while writing this one of my fine FRUKers came through! Hooray!!

Today was pre-Christmas Chinese food dinner at my aunt's house--this was traditionally held at Gisele's, a good friend of the family and sort of surrogate grandmother figure, but she's getting on in years and it's too much trouble for her to host now, so. Plenty of family, a bunch of rugrats running around, new baby making the rounds, etc. It was really great. I do not really mention this much, but I really enjoy my family, even my aunt's compulsive fibbing, even my cousin's comlete disregard of personal boundaries. My other aunt, the hippie with the koi fish, talked a bit about my great-uncle. "I remember when me and T were out there helping him do the haying, the last year before Eileen got rid of the cows. He's standing out there on the field with Terry, his oxygen tank in a box, showing him what to do."

"Yeah," my uncle chimes in, "Later when we were out there on the truck picking up bales, he comes streaking out there on the ATV, the oxygen tank bouncing up and down behind him, yelling at us that we were picking up the wrong ones. We had to pick them up in a specific order, and he knew exactly which ones you were supposed to get first."

So I just installed Windows 7! I am still settling on an opinion of it, but thus far it has been a generally positive experience (aside from when I buggered up my music folder all to hell, but that was my own fault). Congrats, Windows 7, I am thinking of putting you in the not-terrible pile, that is pretty good. Now if only I could get WoW installed :| Curse you, Blizzard maintenence!

Gifts are being posted at what_the_fruk if that is a thing you are into

Back in PG! The drive was long and snowy and boring, my brother slept through most of it, I dozed through enough that I didn't go stir-crazy. Just barely, though. My dad told me about the time a couple years ago he witnessed a grisly traffic accident, which nobody ever told me about? What the hell, family.

You know what I am trying to figure out, why do I keep making comms for things when I barely participate in fandom--I write sporradically, never read fic, browse fanart once in awhile, barely icon anymore and never use other folk's icons, etc etc. Do I love them so much on principle that I just need to create an evironment for the people who do actively participate in fandom? IDEK. Maybe I just love running contests and making people happy and PLAYING GOD MWA HA HA.

Ha, figured out why my W key keeps popping out, the little metal hooks that hold it in are bent. Just need to get some tiny pliers and a little bit of luck and should be able to fix it right up. Hope I don't lose it before then D:

Everything's all packed up (minus my netbook, natch) and we're planning some god-awful early start I think. Bro and I are basically just planning on not sleeping, this always works out for the best. He's playing WoW, I'm dicking around here and texting mortkero about Robert Downey Jr, House plays in the background, it's a beautiful thing.

If you are a person trying to decide if FRUK is awesome I suggest reading this, holy geez is it gorgeous. "How is this FRUK, where are the makeouts?" you may ask me, and I will give you a withering look that tells you "You are missing the point of this pairing entirely."

Final paper is finally in, and with no deductions because Katsu thinks I am a cool cat. This is weird this is so weird I'm done I'm donnnnnnne and I am pretty certain I am not failing any of the classes I don't have grades for yet so OH MY GOD I'M DOOOOOOOOONE

Dad and Daniel are here, going to go shopping and take back my library books and then back here to pack all my things into boxes. By this time tomorrow I should already be well on my way home!

Abortion wannnnnnk

Oh fandomsecrets you are my favorite.

I am being very good about not falling for the siren call of wank btw, I am well aware a simple post of "I think women should have control over their bodies but I also personally think it is a damn heavy decision and not always the right one to make" would probably result in wank city.

Anon if you find my journal somehow, I do not think you are a terrible person, I would like you to know that

ETA: This makes me eyeroll hardcore for some reason

HOW DARE YOU FEEL GRATEFUL THAT YOU ARE ON THIS EARTH, IF YOU WEREN'T ON THIS EARTH YOU WOULDN'T BE AROUND TO KNOW IT

LOOK AT ME AND MY EDGY ANTHROPIC OPINIONS

Guys I am grateful every day for locked cars and bush parties and the Fonz.

Man every time I watch season 1 of House I just get depressed that the rest of the seasons don't even measure up

Smarmy villian
Patients I care about
Nuns
House and Wilson eating takeout on Christmas eve, laughing and having good times
Jazz trumpet
The mob
My absolutely favorite scene in the whole damn series

House it is not that I dislike you now it is just you did too many amazing things in the first season how do you even top that, you couldn't, that's okay though. You've got an amazing episode here and there still just not the sustained glory of season 1
