Oh, Cherry Limeade, cure me of my ills

stoney321Headache going strong for two days now, what the hell? I would love to post pics of what's happening in the pool arena, but we were deluged by rain - 1.5 inches in 30 minutes - and I literally got stuck in the mud and had to abandon my shoes. Oh, flippy floppies, you will be missed. Until the ground dries out and I dig you out and hose you off. All of the electrical stuff was done, so now all that's left is plaster, the shade structure (we're building that this weekend, I think?) and deck. I totally bought pool noodles today in anticipation. ALMOST HERE, PRECIOUS! (And this relates to the pictures not one whit, I just have a headache and am being obstinate.)
In the meantime, my favorite local garden center sent me a 30% off one item coupon good for today only, so I went ahead and bought that weeping atlas cedar I mentioned yesterday. YAY! [I think I like the way this is shaped the best. Feel free to make suggestions.] The garden center only gets two a year, and I got one of them. So it's going to sit on my front porch and wait to be planted in a few weeks, because I was not going to leave things to chance. Screw chance, he made fun of me in high school. (True story, there was a kid named Chance who came over to hang out and drink beer and play poker with my bio-mom - good people, that woman *eyeroll* - and he and my mother coined my high school nickname, "Adopted." Because, you see, I wasn't entertaining and awesome like my other sisters and my mother. OKAY THEN.
...I might still be a little bitter. Whatever, he had an almost albino tight fro, and that look ain't working. I think he has a gambling addiction now, too. In your face, jerk! (LOL, I'm horrible inside, huh?)
Where was I? Oh, right, about to tell you that I spent a ridiculous amount of time looking at a tumbler account that specifically is about Alexander Ska-circle-rsga-circle-rd. :) And it reminds me of how disgusted I am by the BEEEEL/Sookeh pairing and am ready for that to be over. UGH. Those two gross me out, and a lot of it is because they're real life partners.
Because I'm a total flake by this point in the day (guys, if you want coherency, I have to post in the AM with my coffee) I also want to mention that I'm still sucking down Criminal Minds and would love a rec for some really excellent gen fic that explores the team's dynamic. No shippy stuff, unless you think it's just so well written I can't pass it up. Anyone? And I would really like to have some quiet time to try my hand at writing a fic from Reid's POV trying to fit the pieces of everyone into his logic center.
And now I lie down with my cherry limeade. Oh, Sonic with your happy hour. You live up to that claim. :)

Date: 2010-08-18 10:21 pm (UTC)Most of what I write is slash or het, but these are all gen:
Old Acquaintances (http://archiveofourown.org/works/66553) -- Only if you've gotten into season 3-5. It's Gen, but a two hander of Reid and Gideon in the current season.
What We Learn From Others (http://archiveofourown.org/works/64596) -- late season 3 early-season 4 knowledge assumed.
Smoking Gun (http://archiveofourown.org/works/32797) -- post The Big Game/Revelations fic with the team and Reid.
Key Words (http://community.livejournal.com/bau_fic/556127.html) -- Gideon character study
Five Decisions Aaron Hotchner Made (http://community.livejournal.com/bau_fic/579485.html) -- Hotch Character Study

Stop having a headache!

Date: 2010-08-19 12:59 am (UTC)I don't actually know where any genfic lives for "CM"- it's a fandom where they really like to go, "You know who needs to sleep with everyone else in the history of this show, and a few others besides? Reid." But I shall ask La BFF,
Outta curiosity- Hotch/Elle, y/n?
ETA: ::facepalms:: Oh, right. I wrote "CM" gen.
we would all be fools to pray for justice (http://darlas-mom.livejournal.com/267024.html?thread=1342480#t1342480) (Elle fic, spoilers LIEK WOAH for the end of S1/beginning of S2.)

Date: 2010-08-19 02:24 am (UTC)Hotch/Elle - nooooooooo! He's married and stoic! (Which, I'm sure, is the appeal. Hee!)
no subject
Date: 2010-08-19 02:57 am (UTC)Are you opposed to watching TV online in, er, shady-ish circumstances? 'Cause I can hook you up with the eps in their proper order.
...I cannot explain the appeal without spoiling you if you haven't seen the eps in question. Gah! (Actually, though, I am the only Hotch/Elle 'shipper in the WORLD. In "CM" fandom, Hotch het is considered blasphemy. To the point where I actually want to make a community specifically for it, just to thumb my nose at them all.
I R 12 2DAY, STONEY.)

Date: 2010-08-19 01:10 am (UTC)Sorry to hear about your headache. Feel better soon.
I had Sonic for the first time last year as we didn't have any in the NE. Those cherry limeades are SO GOOD.

Or any sport. The Olympics are the one time I venture into sports, and they have a disproportionate number of athletes (male and female) in skimpy or clinging uniforms.

Date: 2010-08-19 03:16 am (UTC)True story: I cannot pronounce Alexander Skarsgard's name properly and have so far called him Alexander Scotchgard, Alexander Swiss Chard and Alexander Jean Luc Picard. I hope I never meet him.

Date: 2010-08-19 01:40 pm (UTC)Guard the scar, Vin, guard the scar. Now flip that shit and reverse it (it's your fremme nimma when's yet. Lol.) SCAR'S GUARD.
I hope you don't either, because I would have to cut you and you're very pretty and it would be a shame.

Date: 2010-08-19 03:52 am (UTC)Actually, the fact that Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer are a couple in RL is the only thing that stops me from fast-forwarding Bill/Sookie scenes. I think to myself, "aw, it must be nice making out with your fiancé for money." And I try to remind myself how awesome Moyer is in real life. Too bad they fucked him up so much on the show. What is up with his hair? Seriously.
no subject
Date: 2010-08-19 01:42 pm (UTC)See, and I feel incredibly icky - like a peeping tom - watching their scenes BECAUSE of it. I am completely aware of APaq and SMoyer, not Sookeh and BEEEL. And oh, his HAIR. It's grotendous.

Date: 2010-08-19 04:33 am (UTC)*comes back to life* Have you tried using Mentholatum for your headaches? I rub some on key areas of my face and it WORKS!
About Bill/Sookie. I admit I like them BUT I was hoping they would stay apart so that Bill and Jessica could work on their relationship as maker/progeny. That's what I want to see!

Date: 2010-08-19 01:43 pm (UTC)Mentholatum, huh? No, I've never tried that, I'll have to give it a whirl, thanks!
