Wishes come true, not free

Darcy sends the following text to Jane: "Steve is reading a translation of Gangnam Style. Theatrically. SAVE ME."

Next text, sent only a few seconds later: "OMG gng to kill Tony & Clint for showing him Youtube, Christ Jesus."

(I wrote that into my NaNo because my daughter just played Gangnam Style for my husband, who responded as any sensible person would be Googling the lyrics and reading them aloud. What is my life?)

I know, I know, I'm not done with the last one yet.

Gacked from e'rybody.

Pick a number from the list and I'll answer it in the comments. I reserve the right to choose the fandom, unless you specifically ask for one.

I must confess, this clip is wholly brilliant, and there is no way in which it does not excel in all things.

Yesterday's faffing was largely successful. I never did make it to Franklin, but that's probably just as well, really. unforgrettable and I had a grand time at Outback, right up until we both drank just a smidge too much Wallaby Darned and got tummy aches. I did manage to get one present for dirocyn's biffday, but all in all, the 31st anniversary of his birth will not be marked with material acquisition. (Since he says we have too much stuff already, I figure it'll all be good.) I shall have to arrange certain *ahem* "wifely" gifts.

In other news, I ran across a "new" (in the new-to-me sense) fic writer yesterday. If you haven't read any of rozarka's stuff, lemme recommend her. She writes Viktor/Hermione (I know, I know, just shut up and read it.) I really like her characterization of Viktor -- as a man who is highly intelligent, thoughtful and sensitive, but is limited by cultural and language barriers.

Anyhow, in perusing her journal, I ran across a reference to 7spells. I followed the link and am totally intrigued. The prompts are great -- and best of all just reading over them I was nibbled by plot bunnies. So, I caved. The way it works, is one person can claim a character/set of characters/setting at a time, and then they write 7 pieces using the prompts supplied on the list. I signed up to be put on the waiting list for Draco.
