'I'm the slow dying flower in the frost killing hour...'

[marguerite_krux]

Rant of the day.

So frakking pissed off.
This will teach me not to first read the end of a fic to make sure it's one I can deal with-
never will I make that mistake again.
200,000 words into the fic and then I find out my ship doesn't frakking stay together.
W. T. F. *angsty!flail* All those hours wasted!
I'd've rathered it remain unfinished than find out they separate. *snarls*
I like my 'happily ever afters', all right?
I don't care if it's childish, but if I wanted angst and misery and despair, I'd've stuck with the books, kthxbai. >:[
I don't even have the vocabulary to express how frustrated and disappointed I'm feeling right now.
Feel free to lend me your words, I find myself annoyingly inarticulate at the moment.

Also, the father's on leave this week. Imagine my joy.
Particularly since we had a battle of wills over the weekend over my fingernails, of all the most frakking petty things ever. I managed to reduce our face time to a mere hour over the two days and yet we still clashed. Takes real talent, no? I just cannot believe I'm 21 years old and he wants to ORDER me to cut my nails or else- the unspoken threat being that I can get out of his house if I don't like it. Lovely. I enjoy living with a control freak ever so much.

Amusing fact of the day.

Definition of 'grangerize:
PRONUNCIATION: (GRAYN-juh-ryz)
MEANING:
1. To mutilate a book by clipping pictures out of it.
2. To illustrate a book by adding pictures cut from other books.

LMAO. I kinda want to read a fic about someone teasing Hermione Granger with the definition of her last name. *smirks* The girl worships books and the idea that her last name means to MUTILATE them, well...JKR is one twisted woman [but we knew that already]. Luckily for Hermione, nobody's smart enough to realize it or even think to do research on the matter, so it's unlikely to ever be used against her. *gigglesnorts* Hee. Poor girl.

I've been listening to a lot of angsty music lately. What can I say, sad songs- especially about unrequited love- 'tis my new favorite genre. I hate it in fic, but love it in music. Hmm.

Because I know that all I want is what you got...'

Many moons have come and gone, don't know why I'm still searching...'

4. Kate Nash- The Nicest Thing download

'I wish that without me your heart would break,
I wish that without me you'd be spending the rest of your nights awake

This is not enough...'

My heart, my life will never be the same
This love will take my everything
One breath, one touch will be the end of me...'

Hit me with recs, if you feel so inclined. [Pretty please?]
Remember, angsty unrequited love. *nodnod* Bonus if it has violins, I'm a sucker for anything with violins, sounds so much more poignant, y'know?
---

To maintain the theme, an angsty poem:

Renouncement

I must not think of thee; and, tired yet strong,
I shun the love that lurks in all delight-
The love of thee- and in the blue heaven's height,
and in the dearest passage of a song.
Oh, just beyond the sweetest thoughts that throng
this breast, the thought of thee waits hidden yet bright;
But it must never, never come in sight;
I must stop short of thee the whole day long.
But when sleep comes to close each difficult day,
When night gives pause to the long watch I keep,
And all my bonds I needs must loose apart,
Must doff my will as raiment laid away
With the first dream that comes with the first sleep
I run, I run, I am gather'd to thy heart...'

-Alice Meynell

I love the last two lines. I confess to not knowing exactly what this poem means, I can't read poetry, my brain doesn't work that way, but the idea of being around someone you can't be with, and having to wait til your dreams, the only place where you find yourself welcome in their arms...*sighs*

Meme.

Pick your fandoms before reading the questions...

1. Harry Potter
2. The Lost World
3. The Mentalist
4. Criminal Minds
5. Sanctuary    
6. Merlin    

01.) Who is your favorite character from #2?

LOL. You have to ask? The incomparable Marguerite Krux, international woman of mystery. ^_^

02.) Who is your least favorite character from #4?

But- but I love my whole team. Weeell, I suppose if I had to choose, I’d nominate Rossi. He’s such a teddy bear and I’ve developed a certain fondness for him, but…he comes across a little condescending and arrogant at times.

Although, hang on, the writers’ love affair with Reid gets real old, real fast. It’s stifling and claustrophobic and it really frustrates me how he’s the center of any major drama or angst in any given ep. I wish they’d spread a little love around to the other characters. So I’ll go with Reid, because he gets too much spotlight and I don’t like characters being shoved down my throat, not because I don’t like him. He’s a decent sort and so adorkable but yeah…

03.) What would a crossover between #1 and #5 include?

Ohhh. Dear god, that’d be so hilarious and awesome.

Voldemort as an Abnormal, the Sanctuary team trying to hunt him and lock him up or put him down…[so it messes with the whole ‘Harry is the Chosen One’ prophecy, I always thought it was a load of garbage]

I love the idea of Hermione and Snape checking out the Sanctuary; she’d be so fascinated and totally idolize Magnus, and Ashley would scandalize Snape, heh. I really want to see him confronted by a brash, bold American teen now, BWAHAHA. She'd have absolutely no fear of him and he'd be so put out that the evil Potions Master persona doesn't intimidate her, heh.

04.) Who is your favorite ship from #1?

Hermione/Snape!

To quote stevie_jane- “because bookish types with passionate potential should be shagging. Constantly, if possible. If you don't understand, I can recommend fic. Hawt.”

Seriously, I can recommend fic. Ask luxuria_oceanus, she knows how hard I rec.

And to copy-paste Mother of Tears:

"I can't think of another character that would better suit Severus Snape than Hermione Granger. Like him, she IS an intellectual, an unconventional person, a book worm and a geek. She's a deep thinker, and she's just as kind as Lily ever was if not more so. She would appreciate his passion for books and his love of experiments. Their relationship would be a meeting of the minds before it ever became anything romantic and phsysical, which would provide a sturdy foundation for romace to grow. Hermione would be able to understand him. And what she didn't understand, she'd persist in trying to learn untill she succeeded. The HG/SS relationship seems the perfect combination to me. It is like meeting like and opposites attracting at the same time. They are intellectually suited but differ widely in background. They are similar in temperament but different in age. It is a dance of innocence and experience, light and darkness-- the dark craves the light and the light seeks to illuminate the darkness, but they battle each other as well. The possibilities here are incredible. Snape needs someone who could love him and Hermione could. She has a thing for "causes" as well..."

05.) If you were to set one person from #3 and one person from #4on a blind date, who would they be?

The Mentalist/Criminal Minds. *ponders*

Umm…probably Jane and Emily. So he can analyze her and work out her feelings for a certain dark-haired BAU team leader. *coughHOTCHcough*

Ooh, and then she can tease him about his feelings for his own dark-haired team leader.
This would work much better if Lisbon were around so that Jane could double-team fluster her with Emily, because let's face it, Jane doesn't get embarrassed. It's much more fun making Lisbon blush. *smirks*

06.) If you could meet one person from #1 and spend the day with them, who would it be and what would you do?

Hermione. I think she definitely needs a girl friend, y’know? Hanging out with two boys all the time isn’t healthy. The only other girls her age are dumb twits and Ginny’s way younger and immature by comparison, so I think the two of us could have some awesome girl bonding time. *nodnod*

07.) If you could change one thing about #6's plotline, what would you change?

NIMUEH WOULD NOT DIE.

08.) Explain a relationship between two people (not necessarily romantic) from show #5 and why you like the relationship between them.

Magnus and Will. They have this flirty vibe happening but it’s mainly about the trust and affection between them. I love the way she acts as his mentor and he’s so eager to learn and there’s genuine respect and caring and these moments of funny banter going on. It’s nice to see a male willing to learn from a female.

Don’t get me wrong, my heart lies with the opposite dynamic ‘coz it informs a lot of my ships [at least in books, I’m always all about the male mentor/female student thing, despite or even because of creepy age differences- I blame Tamora Pierce], but it’s refreshing that the show depicts a woman as being the mature, experienced, wiser character and there’s no macho attempts to one-up her, no insecurity or feelings of emasculation, it’s so cool. Yay Will!

09.) If the lead title characters (first names in the credits) from #1 and #3 were both drowning, and you could only save one, who would it be?

HEE. I would willingly sacrifice Harry Potter any day.

Because for me, it’s all about one Severus Snape. [I love him so much that it was bizarre to watch the first movie the other day and find that it didn’t revolve around him- like, wtf? *fangirl brain does not compute*]

Also, Patrick Jane is too pretty to die. *nodnod*

10.) If you could change the title characters' order in the credits for #4, what order would you choose?

Usually this question seems rather useless to me but ‘tis relevant here, ‘coz, OMG, the credits order for Criminal Minds actually pisses me off a lot! Thomas Gibson was second in the credits after Mandy Patinkin, but now with Rossi added to the team, all of a sudden Hotch is last! WTF? He’s the team leader, yo, why is he at the bottom of the pecking order?

11.) If you were able to add a new character, any kind of character you wanted, to the storyline of #6, what would the character be like, and what would their role be?

Um. Can I just add Nimueh back? ‘coz I love her so much and the show is gonna be the lesser for her absence. *sniffles*

But if it’s gotta be a new character, I want a woman that’s on Morgana’s side. Sure, there’s Gwen, but between stealing Arthur away from Morgana and ‘taking the first steps down the path towards becoming the Queen Guinevere of legend’, there ain’t much time for being a devoted pal.

I wouldn’t mind a fellow magic-user who understands and can sympathize with Morgana, but please, no evil be here, ‘k? I want someone who can be her confidante and supporter, not undermine her or anything. She’s got a maidservant/friend intent upon breaking down the divide between the classes, a potential love interest that’s destined to wed aforementioned friend and become the greatest king of all time, and a powerful wizard masquerading as a manservant who won’t talk to her about her own form of magic or let her know she’s not alone. This circle isn’t the most welcoming and cherishing, eh?

12.) What happens in your favorite episode of show #2?

Wow, you don’t pull your punches, do you? I love so many eps…gah!

Prophecy is such a fantastic episode- Marguerite and Roxton end up captured by bandits and they’re happy to initiate her into their number…provided she kills Roxton.

And he urges her to save herself, to shoot him if it means she’ll live and this woman who’s all about self-preservation at all costs, betraying other people before being betrayed herself, caring about nothing and no one except herself…she refuses.

She won’t kill him, even to save her own life.

It’s just an amazing moment, and he’s angry and frustrated and scared for her but she’s adamant about it and he kisses her on the forehead and AWWW. The romance, my heart can’t take it!

This is just one of many awesome eps, though, but you forced me to single one out, so.

13.) If you could kill off one of the characters in #6, who would it be and how would you do it?

I would kill off…hmm. Toughie, there. I rather like the main characters, even if the writers are frakking up their relationships.

Possibly Gaius, because he knows about Morgana and won’t help her deal with the burden of the sight and won’t let Merlin talk to her either. It really sucks that he seems to think Merlin is the only one who needs support and encouragement but Morgana can struggle through on her own.

Also, I haven’t forgiven him for surviving and Merlin killing Nimueh in his stead. UNFAIR, GRR.

14.) If you got the chance to visit the set for either show #3 or show #5, which would you choose?
The Mentalist or Sanctuary…*whimpers* Probably- god, this is hard, I’ll go with Mentalist. ‘coz I’m going to see Amanda in October [OMGYAYZ!] so I’d rather go and see Robin and Simon, if I had the opportunity. :D

15.) If you could date anyone from any of these shows, which show and which person would it be?

Ahaha, interesting question. ‘k, my love at the moment is undeniably, unquestionably Severus Snape. But I don’t think I could be in a relationship with him unless I was a completely different person. I’m too sensitive and probably piss him off too much.

So, my pool is John Roxton, Patrick Jane, Aaron Hotchner, Will, Merlin, Arthur and Uther.

The problem with most of these guys is that as myself, I wouldn’t have a chance in hell of ensnaring their affections, let alone maintaining a stable, happy relationship. Why can’t the question be ‘if you could BE any character from any of these shows and date another character….?’ Hmph.

I’m so tempted by Uther, sooo tempted like you have no idea, but I’ll go with Jane. At least he’s in my time frame, lol. No need to adjust to a different period and social customs and all that. Omg, the lack of tv and other modern comforts in Camelot would drive me nuts! Plus, who wouldn't want a guy that can read you that well? Just think, there'd never be any arguments over miscommunication, unlike many dense idiots, he'd know what was pissing you off before you had to voice it. Major advantage there!

[spence-reid.livejournal.com]

I can't believe your dad. He sounds like a more intense version of mine. He used to say stuff like that to my sister. URGH. I'm sorry you have to put up with that.

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

Gah, tell me about it. We need a support group for impossible, difficult fathers, y/y? I'm all about the whinging, it helps take the edge off having to live with him. *groans* Thanks for always being ready with a sympathetic shoulder, I'm coming in closer to exam time now and he just stresses me out more at this time of year. *sighs*

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

[Um. My comment disappeared. Wtf?]

Yeah, ugh. Tell me about it. We need to put on a support group for people with difficult, impossible-to-please, soul-crushing fathers. Though I don't know if I really need it, when I think about it, you're always around with your sympathetic shoulder. *squishes* I can deal most of the time, it's just exams are coming up and he's just stressing me out more, ugh.

ETA: Apparently my comment IS here. I just can't see it. Um...yeah, sorry about confusing you, if all is working well on your end. *kicks computer*

[spence-reid.livejournal.com]

No, it disappeared on my end too. It was weird, I got an email notification that it was there, but when I went to respond, it wasn't...urgh. Oh well. : P
*squishes back* Exams=ick. Good luck on those! We could be our own little support group!!

[sunkrux.livejournal.com]

Your dad is an asshat.

If I had the moneies I'd help you move out like yesterday.

*hugs*

Prophecy is a good eps, but dear one...The Secret will ALWAYS win over Prophecy for the pure unadulterated HOTNESS of their UST in that opening scene - you know when Roxton actually shows Marguerite he can dance and dances well. OH MOMMA! Melts my TV every time. ;)

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

Word.
And the thought's very much appreciated. *glomps*

OH, OH, OH, damn it, I KNEW I was missing something really obvious- how could I have left out The Secret? *slaps self* I am so ashamed...that dancing scene is made of epic awesome- I could have watched a whole ep of them dancing and flirting together, who needs plot when we have UST?!

[I'm so jealous that Roxton's dance with the jungle tart in Unnatural Selection was longer than his dance with Marguerite- NOT COOL]

[sunkrux.livejournal.com]

Don't be ashamed. The scene in Prophecy is a good one. I just like The Secret better because of the flirtyingsteaminess of the dancing. :D That and the end. Although I'd have at least had him kiss her forehead or give her a hug before he left the balcony.

The dance with Renata in Unnatural Selection doesn't count because in all honesty, I think Roxton saw her more like a little sister than a love interest. SHE had it for him but naw, Roxton wasn't into her. Not like he's into Marguerite. ;)

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

I have so much love for The Secret. It has it all- the lighthearted banter and UST hotness, and then angst and confrontation, and even as it's all falling apart, they're still clinging to each other. I love how chivalrous Roxton is even when he's royally pissed with her- like when he reaches out to steady her when the mountain gets all rumbly. And OMG, how fantastic was that 'you're infuriating'/'you're insufferable' exchange?! *dies of squee*

Although I'd have at least had him kiss her forehead or give her a hug before he left the balcony.

*nodnod* It's good that he knows when to give her space and not push her too much, but dude! The woman's having a meltdown, she could've used a hug! Men.

Oh, re: Renata- I never thought it counted, I was just annoyed because they got more time devoted to the dancing scene, and I would've loved to have another minute or so of M/R dancing in The Secret before the dreaded Momentus Interruptus struck. >:[ Grr. Like cut out Veronica's reaction to them, we haven't sacrificed any precious plot-relevant time, that's not so hard!

[sunkrux.livejournal.com]

I love that SHE rescued him with that dino bone...even though he was trying to be all noble and told her to leave him. LOL Right like THAT would ever happen. LOL

I don't worry too much about that because seriously, the HOTNESS of the dance between Marguerite & Roxton overshadows any extra time Renata go with Roxton. :D

[woodchoc-magnum.livejournal.com]

I love my happily ever afters too! God, I would've felt cheated as well.

I’d nominate Rossi. He’s such a teddy bear and I’ve developed a certain fondness for him, but…he comes across a little condescending and arrogant at times.

Oh I get you there, but I still have a soft spot for Rossi as well. He means well! lol

So I’ll go with Reid, because he gets too much spotlight and I don’t like characters being shoved down my throat, not because I don’t like him. He’s a decent sort and so adorkable but yeah…

That's exactly how I feel about Reid too. I did used to like him but lately... I kinda want to smack him!

He’s the team leader, yo, why is he at the bottom of the pecking order?

I wondered that myself when it first happened, but apparently it is a sign of respect to the actor... I don't see why, I would prefer him being number one, but yeah. *does not understand*

*nudgity nudgity nudge* Did you end up checking this out? http://community.livejournal.com/gibsession/35138.html *shifty eyes*

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

Seriously. 200, 000 words. That's a damn novel there and I wasted all those hours...*sobs* But dude! *glomps you* I was just so pissed I had to vent about it and I was pretty sure people would just think I was crazy, so thanks for understanding! I have the biggest emotional whiplash happening right now- all gleeful and bouncy and then WHAM. *splat* Ugh.

But that's why I retracted Rossi, 'coz he improves after the rather negative first impression, and I think my judgment is colored since mother doesn't like him. SHE still thinks he's arrogant, which I don't really think anymore. Reid's more irritating. I haven't seen the first ep yet [have you? SPOIL ME IF SO] but I hear he's up to his usual drama queen antics, gah.

pparently it is a sign of respect to the actor... I don't see why, I would prefer him being number one, but yeah. *does not understand*

I think it's because of that psychology term I used to know but forgot after the semester was over- aha, serial position effect, a google search tells me- people remember the first and last things in a list of items more frequently than they do items in the middle of the list. So because they didn't want to put Thomas first- I guess 'coz Joe Montegna's more famous- they put him last because more people would remember him or something. I don't know. I still don't like it. I may get the reasoning but it's still almost disrespectful, they used to have Gideon and Hotch first, why not Rossi and Hotch? Hmph.

Oh, that's right! I got accepted! *bounces off to spy*

[woodchoc-magnum.livejournal.com]

Of course I understand! It's so not a pay off when you read something that long and it DOESN'T END HAPPILY!! I like my goddamn happy endings, all right?

Aw, your mum thinks Rossi is arrogant? I don't know, sometimes I want to smack everyone else around him for boosting him up onto a pedestal as the "great David Rossi" or whatever, and I'm just like, Hotch is so much better than Rossi, for realsies, but then he kinda wins you over. Especially because he's FAT TONY! Yeah! lol

I have seen the first ep... lalalalalalalalalalalala I don't want to be responsible for spoiling you though! lol If you're interested check out my journal under the Criminal Minds tag, all my thoughts are in there... It's kinda ranty.

By the way, I'm gonna pimp myself out here because you're a Hotch/Prentiss shipper, aren't you? Yeah, of course you are! woodchoc_fic... *pimps* Doesn't worry me if you don't want to read it or anything, I just like to whore my community out!

Joe Mantegna's more famous than Thomas? I didn't even know who Joe was until he was in CM! bahahahahahaa

I don't like it either. And they need to update the opening credits, seriously.

Did you spy? Well, did ya? *nudge nudge*

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

OMG, dude, just O. M. G.

I found a totally fantabulous, utterly brilliant, epically awesome fic- it's not finished posting yet but it is completed and the author's stated at the start that it's definitely going to have a Hermione/Snape ending and best of all, it's nearly 500, 000 frakking words so far! And it's totally not a case of sacrificing quality for quantity, every single chapter has been absolutely perfect and wonderful and excellent so far! GUH! ♥

I am just so unbelievably happy right now. Like. Floating in heavenly bliss. Like. GLEEEEE. *happydances*

Um, yes, I'll try to contain myself. I just had to squee to someone about how unimaginably ecstatic I am right now or I'll BURST trying to contain my joy. I decided you'd be my outlet. :P

Hotch IS better than Rossi. *glares* I won't get started on the 'Thomas Gibson should be lead in the credits' thing again but- you know how I feel.

BB, I am a spoiler whore, you can never spoil too much. Just so you know. ;P

Oh, fic!pimping! Excellent, I'll add that to my list of links that I absolutely must check out. And- I'm feeling sooo guilty right now 'coz you know how I joined that comm to see your posts? And I saved them and went home and laughed my head off and consumed copious amounts of chocolate as I snickered my way through your posts? And I totally meant to leave a comment and then found out just now that 'coz I didn't do so within a week of joining, I got kicked out. *shameface* I should've read the rules, I'm an idiot. *sighs* But I truly loved your posts, you have a wicked sense of humor. The pie thing was genius [do you watch Pushing Daisies? I kept waiting for them to go to the Pie Hole] and the fishing trip...continually ending badly...I love you so much. :D

Joe Mantegna's more famous than Thomas? I didn't even know who Joe was until he was in CM! bahahahahahaa

Can't be bothered IMDB'ing him, but I know him from Joan of Arcadia and I think he's been in a few other known series/movies. *shrugs* Random fact: his daughter was in a movie with Paget Brewster! They didn't share any scenes, sadly, but I thought it was cool. The daughter also guest starred in a CM ep, I believe.

[woodchoc-magnum.livejournal.com]

And it's totally not a case of sacrificing quality for quantity, every single chapter has been absolutely perfect and wonderful and excellent so far! GUH! ♥

YAY! I'm glad you found an epic story of epicness and awesomeness!

I just had to squee to someone about how unimaginably ecstatic I am right now or I'll BURST trying to contain my joy. I decided you'd be my outlet. :P

I am happy to be your outlet on this most joyous of occasions!

Hotch IS better than Rossi.

Hell to the yeah!

BB, I am a spoiler whore, you can never spoil too much. Just so you know. ;P

Well me too, but lately I've been trying to abstain.

Excellent, I'll add that to my list of links that I absolutely must check out.

This pleases me. I am pleased.

And I saved them and went home and laughed my head off and consumed copious amounts of chocolate as I snickered my way through your posts?

I do recall something along those lines, yes. Copious amounts of chocolate is the best way to enjoy anything!

And I totally meant to leave a comment and then found out just now that 'coz I didn't do so within a week of joining, I got kicked out. *shameface*

You didn't read the rules... *singsong voice*

Well you can always rejoin if you want, Angy's not completely evil or anything, she just likes people to comment regularly so she knows people aren't just lurking and taking stuff without saying thanks, you know? She just likes people in the comm to be active, that's all. So feel free to rejoin if you want, she posts lots of TG and CM goodies!

But I truly loved your posts, you have a wicked sense of humor.

*blushes*

I try.

The pie thing was genius [do you watch Pushing Daisies? I kept waiting for them to go to the Pie Hole]

I do, but it wasn't really inspired by Pushing Daisies... it was more inspired by that pic of Foyet with blood on his chin and me thinking it could be strawberries!

Random fact: his daughter was in a movie with Paget Brewster! They didn't share any scenes, sadly, but I thought it was cool.

That is cool. Paget has been in heaps of things. :)

The daughter also guest starred in a CM ep, I believe.

Yeah, 3rd Life in Season 3. Good episode! :)

[borg-princess.livejournal.com]

YAY! I'm glad you found an epic story of epicness and awesomeness!

Thank you, bb, it's been so exciting on my end! Here's to the second night of staying up late because of my addiction to its awesome- I went to bed at 5am yesterday, and at 4am today. I'm 33 chapters into the 46 posted so far. Rationing? What be this concept?!

*bites nails at having so few left* I kinda wish I'd slowed down and savored it a bit more, but...nah. Self-control=ZERO. *nodnod*

I am happy to be your outlet on this most joyous of occasions!

What did I do to deserve you? *tackleglomps*

Well me too, but lately I've been trying to abstain.

*mock-horror* Lol, Far be it for me to judge your lifestyle choices... not judging at all... *looks down nose at you condescendingly* Nope... :P Come oooon, back to the dark side, knowledge is power, yo. :P

The pie thing was genius [do you watch Pushing Daisies? I kept waiting for them to go to the Pie Hole]

I do, but it wasn't really inspired by Pushing Daisies... it was more inspired by that pic of Foyet with blood on his chin and me thinking it could be strawberries!

Oh, no, no, no, I never thought it was inspired by PD, I just thought you might've managed to slip in a reference somewhere, but after reading the fishing trip randomness, I was pretty sure there was no rhyme or reason to your madness, lol.

The daughter also guest starred in a CM ep, I believe.

Yeah, 3rd Life in Season 3. Good episode! :)

Pfft. Show off. Did you know that off-hand? Tell me you spent at least a few minutes googling or imdb'ing or something.

And yes, really enjoyed- hmm, enjoyed is a strong word, it was a rather appalling ep in terms of content [wtf, losing a tooth? On a public tap? EWWW, GROSS. Slaughter women in disturbing ways, but that just goes too far]- that ep, the ending was so uplifting with her taking her dead friend's name and Rihanna's Umbrella...I love that song. ^_^

I kinda wish I'd slowed down and savored it a bit more, but...nah. Self-control=ZERO. *nodnod*

Oh, you totally remind me of myself when I was reading this MASSIVE fanfic about something to do with something embarrassing, and I used to compulsively read it at work and at home until there was none left. And then I was sad when it was finished because it was so good.

What did I do to deserve you? *tackleglomps*

You are blessed, my child.

but after reading the fishing trip randomness, I was pretty sure there was no rhyme or reason to your madness, lol.

*shifty*

We're all mad here...

Did you know that off-hand? Tell me you spent at least a few minutes googling or imdb'ing or something.

Nope, it's all in my noggin. :) Is that lame?

And YES, when she was chewing the tap and I was covering my eyes screaming, "OH GOD THE HORROR!" I have such a thing about teeth and tooth related injuries, it squicks me out. *shudder*

YOU ARE EVIL! THAT IS SUCH AN AWESOME PICSPAM AND OMG, I COULDN'T GET PAST THE FIRST FOUR PICS BECAUSE I AM IN A PUBLIC AREA AND CAN'T AFFORD TO BURST OUT LAUGHING LIKE A CRAZY PERSON.

*wipes away tears* Seriously, darlin', I was laughing silently, my chest was convulsing like I was having a seizure and there are actual tears welling from the corner of my eyes. Oh, damn, my cheeks hurt. You are an evil genius, dear god, that was just hysterical!

I'm gonna save it and read it properly when I get home. And maybe have the hospital on alert in case my ribs crack from laughing so much and puncture my lungs or something. HEALTH HAZARD, YO. *nodnod*

[woodchoc-magnum.livejournal.com]

I AM NOT EVIL!! WHERE DID YOU HEAR THAT? LOL

*blushes in an attempt to be modest* I'm glad you liked the first four captions, wait til you read the rest! lol

Can't wait until you finish it! *bounce*

If you're going to go crazy on 20,000 word fics they should at least be mine ; ) And your ship stays together over a very rough sea.

Damn, one hour and he did that? Does take talent, seriously. I never understood why some people are just completely inflexible and even worse, why these inflexible people have children. Though if he wouldnt have, I wouldnt have you and that would suck. But I want you to get out of there and be happier because you deserve it so much.

I am a sucker for a sad song but dont listen to them too much because they depress me....same goes for sad fic. I dont know, I'm a glimmer of hope kinda girl, you know. We all go down the dark corners, but in the end we are all looking for the light. At least I like to think so. I am so an optimistic stuck in a pessimist's body, just trying to make it as a realist.

Dude, it was TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND words. *sniffles* Oh, the heartbreak. There should be warnings for this- like, they have warnings for character death and that, there should be a 'sad ending, ship destroyed' one, damn it. *pouts*

Btw- I had a look at your fic, but- please don't be offended- it's not the type of fic I usually read. I have real problems with reading one half of my ship with anyone else. I get so territorial, it's not funny. I do like your writing and your handle on Em and Hotch but I just can't read her with anyone else. I've marathoned season 4 with three different people and I still haven't brought myself to watch Demonology yet, it's like a psychological thing, I can't take it. I know I'm weird, but I wanted to explain.

Yeah. I woke up, went to wash the dishes and he ambled by, stopped to exchange greetings and then exploded at how I wasn't washing them right 'coz of my nails. Which is BS because they were relatively short, they're usually like two cm past my finger and I can still wash dishes fine but he's been nagging at me about how he hates the way my nails look for ages and once he has a vendetta, he'll seize on any excuse, y'know? Jerk. And then he wants to know why I don't want to come out and say hi to him. Gee, I WONDER.

You. ♥ You always boost my self-esteem so much, I'm so lucky to know you. *huggles*

I avoid tragic fics like the plague, but I like tragic songs. I guess because the fics are about characters I care about more than most real people I know [scary, huh?] and I want the best for them, whereas the songs are relevant to me and I can get lost in them. Can't listen to happy music when I'm in a mood, lol, it's just too incongruous. I remember being overwhelmed when I first discovered Linkin Park, it's like they were hardwired to my emotions and soul, they were so spot on with their lyrics.

We all go down the dark corners, but in the end we are all looking for the light. At least I like to think so. I am so an optimistic stuck in a pessimist's body, just trying to make it as a realist.

You are such a writer. :P That is just such a wonderful way of wording things, and I especially love the last line, I so relate to that!

[mcgarrygirl78.livejournal.com]

I totally dont mind you not reading my story.....its your perorgative, we read what makes us happy. I am craziest about Hotch/Prentiss but now have a serious soft spot for Gideon/Prentiss....there are are a few of us, a very few. You should see Demonology, it has some good Hotch and Prentiss in it and just good Prentiss in general. To hell with everything else, Prentiss is so MADE OF WIN!!!!!!

I know what you mean, I feel that way about so many songs......the song was written just for me. That's the beauty of music, a million people hear one song, and believe it to be about a million different things. I wish I was a songwriter. Now if you could just help me stop listening to Poker Face, I am so hooked on this silly little song.

I'm just as lucky to know you, you give me faith in youth again and remind me that having a wicked wit can never be a bad thing. Plus you're stronger than even you know, its between the lines of all of your words. As for your dad, its a damn shame he doesnt notice it, but I think a lot of parents dont......my parents didnt with me either. And even though I am kinda friendly with them now there is still a deep-down contempt they will never understand.

I'm such a writer huh? Tell that to this ficlet currently kicking my ass, I dont think it knows ; )
