That's funny. When brown people wave guns and scream to get stuff they want, they call it terrorism

I am bored out of my MIND.

Ask me something. I'm not even picky. Religion, politics, fandom, me, writing, whether you look fat in that outfit ... I don't CARE.

I just want to talk about something and I have no idea where to start.

*pokes you all*

Are there any Supernatural/Twilight crossovers?

Have you seen The Big Bang Theory?

Did Otis ever calm down from the 'Mom! The Giant Mouse-Thing is Loose!' spazzout?

Are there any Supernatural/Twilight crossovers?

Yes, but I haven't written or read any of them. ;)

And if I did, mine would be an AU where John went after them all by himself with a machete and a hangover and came out covered in sparkles.

Have you seen The Big Bang Theory?

A few bits here and there, yes. It's one of those shows where I like what I've seen and I know it's right up my alley, and I say, "Oh, I should start watching that," and I keep saying that and saying that until suddenly the show is over and I'm obliged to go out and get five seasons' worth of show and marathon the FUCK out of them.

Did Otis ever calm down from the 'Mom! The Giant Mouse-Thing is Loose!' spazzout?

Heh. Yeah, he usually gets over it after I put whichever chin is loose back in their cage. I can't figure out if it's fear or just annoyance that makes him act that way. This time, I took out Elliot afterward and was holding him towards the cat, and Otis immediately scampered away to the hole along the wall that the mouse came out of that one time like, "No, THAT'S the mouse I want to play with!"

I think he's just afraid they can take him in a fight. :)

[madripoor-rose.livejournal.com]

That would be the whole point of Supernatural/Twilight crossovers.

I am really surprised that BBT doesn't have more of a fandom. There's one really popular ship (that I actually ship for once, yay!) but it seems like a little black dress crossover show. And I just love seeing people talk about comic books on tv.

Chinchillas probably freak cats the hell out. Looks like a mouse but big as me.

So who was your favorite characters on Middleman and Leverage, speaking of marathoning closed canon?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

So who was your favorite characters on Middleman and Leverage, speaking of marathoning closed canon?

Oh, Parker and Wendy are my go-to girls for them, although if I have to pick back ups it's Ida for Middleman and Hardison for Leverage.

Although it's pretty much a toss-up right there, too, because there isn't anybody on Middleman I don't adore with every fiber of my being and Parker/Hardison/Eliot is ridiculously close to being my OT3 on Leverage. Not that I don't like Nate and Sophie, they're just ... different. (I always feel apologetic about Nate and Sophie. I like them! I just ... don't have this flailing giddy love that I do for the other three. And also for Sterling, who's fantastic.)

Talk about superpowers.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Ooo. Superpowers are my hardcore fic kink. Magic powers, superpowers, whatever -- either one is pretty much a guarantee I'll give something a try. I spent years skipping lunch so I could spend my lunch money on comics, especially X-Men comics. I was ridiculously hooked on those. DC didn't really do a lot for me, but I really got sucked into Marvel easily when I first started collecting. The hilarious thing was that I got into comics right about the time that Image started up, and even then when I was still a kid who didn't know any better I was like, "This art is shit and every single team has the same five characters." Heh. :)

Yeah, a superhero!AU is on par with post-apocalyptic AUs for my favorite. It doesn't even have to be the tights and the code names. I just need characters suddenly developing telekinesis or Dean Winchester who has superstrength or Jon Stewart can read minds. YES PLEASE AND THANK YOU. *grabbyhands*

[hannahrorlove.livejournal.com]

I've recently stopped fighting it and just admitted I fucking love superpowers. It's sometimes an uphill battle, convincing other people they're not gimmicky or bad writing or just wish fulfillment - they're flat-out fun, for one thing, and for another, they can be taken as seriously as you want, going from The Tick to something where it's more of a commentary on the characters with powers as the externalized metaphor.

I think fandom's about due for another "everyday superheroes" challenge.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I think fandom's about due for another "everyday superheroes" challenge.

GOD, yes.

I totally cheated and gave the main character in Heroine Addiction my favorite superpower. A hot brunette bisexual teleporter with hips and an ass ... it's like I'm building her for my very own Get Out Of Heterosexuality Free card. :D

[hannahrorlove.livejournal.com]

Some things just make sense if you apply superpowers to the setting. I mean, Leverage doesn't need them, but that early comment from Parker about Nate never touching anyone becomes that much sweeter if you pretend he's a telepath and doesn't like touching people.

Also, I bet Parker likes that Nate reads minds, because it doesn't mean she has to look at him when they're talking, and that's one less social thing she has to worry about.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Leverage is awesome because it would work fantastically with superpowers thrown into it. It doesn't NEED them, of course -- they all kinda have superpowers the way they are now -- but it'd be neat, that's for sure. :D

And now after that Big Bang Theory mention earlier, man, would THAT be amazing with superpowers. Leonard and Sheldon with superpowers? I can't unsee it, omigod. Heeee.

[hannahrorlove.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, what would Leonard and Sheldon DO? I'd love to see them with powers but I can't imagine what those would be.

[akire-yta.livejournal.com]

can i just second everything you two just said here ♥

i also volunteer to help run a re-run of Everyday Superheroes. Actually, fuck it, we need a superhero multifandom comm! (apart from the one we already have which is too convoluted for newbies *g*)

[roseblight.livejournal.com]

Talk to me about cooking. What do you make?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I usually keep things simple just because I don't have a lot to spend on food and I'm not really that creative -- I usually screw up a recipe the first time I make it, so there's that to take into consideration, not to mention that there's not a lot of recipes for one person and I have an awful habit of forgetting about leftovers until they go bad, which sucks.

I love to bake, though. Cookies, cake, pie ... baking is fun. I have a container of cookie dough in the fridge right now that I put in there so I could make them as I want them and eat them freshly baked. :)

But when it comes to EATING food, oh, I'll try anything once. I don't have any food allergies and I've gotten to the point where I'll give anything a try because I never know whether or not I might like it. Also, I adore ethnic food, so I love going to ethnic restaurants and getting the full experience and atmosphere. That sort of sucks now, because I'm in an area where I'm lucky to get Italian and Chinese. There's a Thai restaurant in Scranton, but getting anybody to go with me would be a job of WORK. *grumbles*

[chaneen.livejournal.com]

I love that Thai restaurant! If you ever want anyone to go with, I am always down for Thai food. :D

There is also the Amber in southside, which is amazing Indian food (with a delicious lunch buffet). You should definitely try that if you never have.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Ooo, sweeet. :)

THERE'S INDIAN FOOD IN THIS AREA?! *flappyhands* Honest to God, I didn't even think to check, because ... WELL.

[chaneen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's called the Amber (and holy shit, there's actually a website!), and it's on Birney Ave more or less right across from Birney Plaza. It's been around for ages, and the food is amazing. I'd personally recommend going during the lunch buffet (I think it goes until around 2pm, but it doesn't say online), since you get to try a ton of really good stuff. Plus, they have desserts, too.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Oh, man, I know where I'm going to lunch after my job interview on Tuesday. \o/

[robyn-ma.livejournal.com]

Do I look like a fat right-wing Christian fangirl while writing to you in this outfit?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

*squints*

... maybe a little.

Lose the underwear, see if that helps.

[seferin.livejournal.com]

Religion... You get tapped by an Angel tomorrow to be a messenger of the Divine. Your first reaction?

Politics... Time for another constitutional convention?

Fandom... Are you a BNF? If so, does that confer any responsibilities?

Me... Where's Otis?

Writing... is the skill in writing crafting your message to your audience, or better expressing your thoughts?

whether you look fat in that outfit... If you have a muffin flap when wearing jeans, is it time to wear bigger jeans?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

You get tapped by an Angel tomorrow to be a messenger of the Divine. Your first reaction?

"You couldn't pick somebody people would actually LISTEN to? Although, hey, kudos on not picking a zealous right-wing asshole. *thumbs up*"

Time for another constitutional convention?

Good Lord, I hope not. I might say yes, but considering the way politicians have been acting these days ... ugh.

Are you a BNF? If so, does that confer any responsibilities?

I feel weird saying yes or no to the first part, so I think I'll just execute veto power and skip that one. ;)

The second part, though ... I think being a BNF confers the exact same responsibility that everybody else has, which is, "Don't be a dick on the internet." It's not like it's hard to think about what you say before you say it, and there's buttons you have to push before your statement goes out into the world, so you're a little better prepared than you are in real life when that stupid ill-worded opinion that you really want to rephrase tumbles past your lips anyway.

And yet, the internet is FILLED with people like that. Ugh.

Where's Otis?

Oh, he's asleep on my bed. He follows this set schedule -- he wakes me up at 6 or 6:30 to be fed, then goes off to sleep somewhere for most of the day. Occasionally he'll pop up for attention but mostly I don't see him again until dinnertime, after which he yowls and races around the apartment annoying the crap out of me for an hour or so, and then he disappears into my bedroom to wait for me to go to bed. He can be very predictable. :)

is the skill in writing crafting your message to your audience, or better expressing your thoughts?

A little bit of both, I think. I think if you're too worried about getting a certain message through it can come through way more blunt than it should, whereas if you worry too much over the story the message may end up convoluted.

If you have a muffin flap when wearing jeans, is it time to wear bigger jeans?

Oh, god, yes. Wearing jeans that actually fit makes you look skinnier than wearing a smaller size and having your muffin top spill over the top.

Have you tried playing in SecondLife?

If not, and you're interested you can come hang out at the Lounge of Dreams! Fun and naked men and dancing combined!

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Heh ... maybe. I've never played in Second Life, but then again I don't play a lot of games because I have to stare in frustration at unfinished manuscripts until blood starts to bead on my forehead. Urgh. ;)

[gweneiriol.livejournal.com]

hee!

Well, if the fustration and blood loss ever get to ya, look me up. :D

[outsideth3box.livejournal.com]

1) Is it okay to have ice cream for dinner? How about if it's all natural ice cream? You know, all natural cream, all natural sugar, all natural eggs, etc. But none of that nasty fake low-fat chemical stuff.

2) Do chinchillas make noise and if so, do they sound anything like guinea pigs? (Which sound pretty much exactly like car alarms. In fact the ones I had in SF used to try to talk to car alarms.)

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

1.) The great thing about being an adult is that everything is okay. I mean, I wouldn't eat a pint of B&J's every night and chase it with a fifth of vodka, but every once in a while I believe everybody should have the right to start their day with a full breakfast of ice cream, cheesecake, Cheetos, and Smirnoff. Heh. :)

2.) They make this little grunting noise that sounds a lot like sex noises if you're only hearing it and not, like, seeing them fight each other over raisins while they do it.

[dargie.livejournal.com]

I am totally going to quote you on facebook. That's brilliant.

[dargie.livejournal.com]

Okay, tell me about your history as a writer and your goals.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Okay, that may need an entire post and I haven't even been published yet. Heh.

Gimme a little bit and I'll whip that post up. :)

[animamea.livejournal.com]

Name three horror movies that still give you the heebies just thinking about them.

[harmonyfb.livejournal.com]

Dead Ringers, Videodrome, Brain Dead.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

1.) Poltergeist -- The first time I saw it, I was a little blond girl with pigtails, a tree outside my bedroom window, and a clown doll that looked a lot like the one in the movie. That one still gives me the heebies.

2.) The Exorcist -- I cannot watch that movie from beginning to end. Never have. It's not even the story that gets to me, although the story itself is creepy as hell. I just can't watch. I could watch the most innocuous ten minutes of the entire movie and my skin will start to crawl and I'll have to turn it off.

3.) The Shining -- Somewhere between the elevators full of blood and the BIG EMPTY HOTEL, I freak.

[coyotegoth.livejournal.com]

What peeved you most about Deathly Hallows?

[trcunning.livejournal.com]

Do you have any cookies?

Follow-up question, can I have one?
