This LJ has been Friends Only for a while now, but I thought I'd post one of those official notices. I love new friends, but I need to know a little bit about you before I press the friend button. I post a lot of real life stuff. If you're more interested in my fic or fandom-related posts, those are almost always public. Anyone is more than welcome to click that friend button. But if you'd like to know me more, and see my real life posts, and are here for more than fannish things, drop me a comment and tell me some things about yourself!

Awwww! Look at what earlwyn wrote for me!

Barney/Robin HIMYM fic! Eeeee! *huggles it and draws hearts everywhere*

As many of you probably know by now, I'm heading off very soon on some trips. I'll be going to Colorado (Denver and Pikes Peak) first. The next week, I'm off to Las Vegas and the southwest (the Grand Canyon, Red Rock Canyon, and Zion National Park). If anyone would like a postcard from any of these places, comment with your name and address, and I'll gladly send one! (Comments are screened.) Make a note if you want one from one of these places in particular; if you don't, I'll surprise you!

I feel like I haven't heard from many of you in a while. =\ I hope everyone's doing well. <3

I've been feeling very not-good all day, and I felt that a semi-purging of sorts was in order. I also was glad for this kind of distraction. So I redid my layout. I started using a new mood theme. I even added some awesome .gifs on the sidebar. *grins*

I already posted one of these under a friends cut, but it should go in a public entry, along with another rec, that is overdue and really deserves to be mentioned. Both are fanart recs.

From fthpfthpfthp, a piece of House/Stacy fanart. There's some nice attention to light and shadow, color, and form. Plus, I have to give mad props to anyone who shares some House/Stacy fanart, because there's hardly any of it, and this doesn't only exist, but it's very nice work with a loose, interesting style. Click to view!

From durayan, two House portraits. These are so, so lovely. We're talking stunning work here. Gorgeous attention to details, and light, and shading. Depicts different but equally wonderful expressions. Click for the first! And the second!

So, I have to talk about House. ( Finale/Season Five talk and thoughts. )

AND THE...AMAZING EPICNESS OF EPIC AMAZINGNESS. GAAAAHHHH. JFDASKFBHADSLFJSALFASHJFAS

REAL UPDATE LATER TONIGHT OR TOMORROW, BUT OMG OMG KFHDJLAKSFHASLFHAS GOD. OKAY I NEED TO GO BACK AND RE-READ EVERYTHING AGAIN. *BOUNCES BOUNCES FLAILS BOUNCES* THIS THREAD. SERIOUSLY THIS THREAD. JDFASKHFBDSAJFLJASFDJH *FLAILS AWAY*

As the image says, I'm going on a hiatus. Sort of. Let it be absolutely clear that I love my whole f-list, and I will be back, but I hope you all understand that I need to step away for a couple weeks. Until the 17th (I may revise this date if it becomes necessary), I will not read my f-list. I will, however, continue to post. I have my photographs of the day and regular life posts. I'm working on the drabbles/ficlets I owe people from the meme, so I'll post those (perhaps in batches) as they're completed. I'm in the midst of setting up a couple communities on Dreamwidth and one on LJ. I'll continue with those. If I feel up to it, I'll tag in my RPGs (lately I've been too stressed out and have had a hard time concentrating on it). I'll be checking my email, so I'll be around, and will reply to comments and PMs (if anyone cares to message me), and will be around in chat, for those of you who have my AIM or GoogleTalk user names. (If you don't and would like to chat, just ask.)

While I'm sort-of-gone, feel free to comment to this entry with links you are certain I'd like to see. Amusing real-life entries. Photographs of the day that you've taken (or, if you're doing it, those days-in-the-life-of photos). Important life events. Etc., etc. Once I begin reading my f-list again, I won't back-track to 'catch up' on what I've missed, so don't hesitate to link me to entries you believe I wouldn't want to miss. Please do not link me to House-related entries. The only exceptions are: stories and art that you are absolutely 100% certain that I would enjoy, or drabbles/ficlets that I specifically requested from people. Please no links to episode reactions/discussion (though, that's something I may go back to in time, but I'll find the ones I care to read myself later), spoilers, picspams, graphics, etc.

I hope everybody stays well for the next couple weeks. I'll miss you all more than you can really know, but this is something I need to do for a short while. I love you guys. (To those of you who just added me recently, sorry about this. I'm not a crazy weirdo, I swear.) Please don't forget about me. I'll be back soon. ♥ ♥ ♥

Is anyone else having a hard time importing their journal to Dreamwidth? I've been trying for 12 hours and it hasn't finished yet. I don't know what the problem is. It got my icons and my tags, but not the entries in this journal, or the comments, as far as I know. Anyone else having this problem?

Also, I'm "shutterbug" there. I've lost track of who has a DW now and who doesn't, so please, feel free to add me there. <3

Seen all over by now.

The first ten (10) people who comment in this post get to request a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal (unless they really would rather not).

Give me a prompt, too, if you'd like. If you want anything from any of my 'verses please specify. (Note: I'm terribly bad at keeping exactly to the 100 word limit of a drabble, so it may be more like a ficlet, depending on what I turn out. But at least a drabble for all of the responses.)

I'm ready for my kick-starts. I believe I need them. =)

Edit: So I'm weak, and really want to hold to these, and write MOAR more, and prompts are incredibly fun, so...I'll take five more. =)

Have you guys seen this? I've seen these movies pictured here dozens of times and I never really noticed this. Exact copies of entire sequences. I was a little shocked, actually, not because I think it was horribly wrong to do (which I don't), but because I just never realized! Check it out!

RP has been amazing lately, my God. Guys, it was intense! The other day, wooedforyears was so intense, with yelling and shouting, and boundaries being crossed! fdhaskjfaslkjfdsafhas Caring-but-not-caring. And awkward sex! And in-your-face confrontations. Such good stuff.

And then. Oh, my God. still_fits made me hurt so much it nearly killed me. House and Stacy having a fight and releasing the hurt and bitterness and issues surrounding the time when Stacy left. All of it that has been five years coming, and God. Unresolved issues and things that never had a chance to be said, and GUH. fhadsbfaskhfadslfh Amazing. Those tags bring such history to this RP. Memories surfacing. Tons of backstory. So much hurt and things coming out and dealing with new problems. They can't get a damn moment of peace and happiness, but they're trying and, man, it's so great. So. Fucking. Great. Stacy's emotions are so complicated, and it's so great to have that to play off of. I just lose myself playing House, and (anyone who RPs knows what I'm talking about here) really feel his reactions, and emotions, and hear him talk out loud and what goes on in his head, and every little action he makes. Guh. That thread, which officially begins to break off into AU territory, where issues have been exploding all over the place, has made me hurt. Things get pretty damn amazing and intense right around here. Made me all achy in my chest so much, but God it's good. AND IT'S SO PAINFUL. GAH. BUT IT'S GREAT.

And now Stacy has RE-MET STEVE! *giggle* And she's so going to give in because Steve was like, a little matchmaker and didn't know it! *grin* And IT'S CUTE. HEE! And soon there will be what-to-do about people finding out and her job and MOVING IN: PART II. TEEHEE. jfdsahadskjhfadsklfhadslfkhsadbfhas

AND WE MADE A FLAILY SQUEE COMM! AND PEOPLE JOINED! AND COMMENTED! AND POSTED! AND FLAILED WITH ME, GUYS! HOW COOL IS THAT? AND IT IS HERE:



And we also have a squee comm for wooedforyears, which is here at wooedsquee! Also filled with awesomeness! HEE! IT'S ALL JUST SO HAPPY-MAKING! GETS ME THROUGH MY DAYS SOMETIMES, AND I'M NOT EVEN JOKING. =D
