Boilerplate


Dear Diary:

I am a morning person, with sufficient sleep. Up and bouncy at 4:45AM.

I love riding down the Interstate in the dark, with lights streaking by and the air
pounding viciously against the opened windows.

So of course mom rolled the windows up. Pfft.

She did put the lite rock channel on, though.

Yes, I like the lite rock channel. I dare you to make something of it.

They were playing my theme song this morning. *^_^*

Hall and Oates' "Maneater". No, really, it's my theme song. I have family consensus on it.

Presently, I'm at the office. The work environment is much improved by my Cher CD.

Being that I have nothing else to do, (Wow. *Cringes at her own hideous grammar*) I
catalogued some of the mutants' more typical gestures.

Small, sharp hiss = "WTF?"

arms folded, stroking claws = deep thought, holding down irritation, pensive

tongue between teeth = "I'm not sure about this..."

thumb to earlobe = "you're not listening to me, are you?" (mildly offensive)

same + pulling = "get to the point, buddy." (definitely of the confrontational)

pulling + headshake = "you're full of it!" (get ready to fight for it)

thumb to chin = thinking about it, "you've got my attention" (positive)

"thinker" pose = definitely listening, esp. in negotiations, in which case the elbow should rest on the table

draws upright = "say, now!" general surprise or intrigue. Context depends on language, etc.

smile, headshake, nod, wink, raised eyebrows, and/or laughter = all human-normal

lick lips = "Hellllooo Nurse!", a definite come-on

We're going out shopping in a few hours, I'll let you know how that goes.

Seeya :^)

Someone Told Me Love Would All Save Us


But That World Never Came

Surprise of the week:

My mom likes Nickelback. No, we'll ammend that. She loves Nickelback.

Not that I blame her ^_^

Her favorite is Hero. The almighty Spiderman song.

(Mine is How You Remind Me. I can't decide if it belongs to Baraka, or me. *Fights him for it* ;^) )

But we'll go deeper into shock, because she was all "Here, put some music on this (Winamp) thing for me." Which was a heart-stopper, since this is my computer and the only music on it is all my stuff. So I swallowed anxiety and grabbed a handful of the songs that stick in my head.

And she loved everything I picked. *Is knocked over with a feather.*

Our cocentric tastes go like this:

Hero Nickelback
How You Remind Me Nickelback
Someday Nickelback
Ring of Fire (Banghra Edition) Melissa Kaplan
Mr. Jones Counting Crows
A Long December Counting Crows
I Ran (So Far Away) Flock of Seagulls
Cup of Coffee Garbage
Carry On Dancing Savage Garden
Prayer Jan Johnston
I Hear (Secrets) The Romantics
Remember The Time Michael Jackson

Well, yeah, I was being careful. I know for a fact that Powerman 5000 isn't up her alley ;^P

She likes Splashdown, Garbage, and Bjork, though. I mean, fuck, how cool is that? She was, like, singing along. Which is slightly eerie, but flattering in the extreme.

My mom is cool :^D

I may trick her into liking Stabbing Westward, because I love them.

I mean, I've written two stories named after their songs. Torn Apart and Can't Happen Here, respectively.

That last one isn't a fic, and isn't finished, and no, you wouldn't like it. Witness the straight woman writing alternate-lifestyle fiction: two disparate men begin the long and rocky road to true love--with each other. No, I mean with each other. Whee! *^_^*

Anyway, back with the musical choices. Mileena's new favorite is Stabbing Westward's "High". She actually suggested it as their love theme, which makes a lot of sense. (Mild content advisory, but I clipped it from the summary, so *shrug*.)

I've never been as high as I was with you
I've never been so high
I've never been as high as I was with you
I've finally realized
That's a perfect high

This hunger
It consumes me
I lost my soul
As you came rushing through my veins...

'Cause I've lost so much
Chasing that perfect high
I've lost so much!

I've never been as high as I was with you
I've never been so high
I've never been as high as I was with you
I've finally realized
That's a perfect high


It's so pretty :^D If fiction were film, it'd belong in the closing credits.

No, I'm not at all presumptuous ;^)

If there's anything I've learned, it's this: I might as well be conceited and get it over with, because a lot of people are going to act humble while being conceited anyway, and at least this way, I'm being honest. *^_^*

Not to mention it outrages Smith :^D

He's all sulky about the way I've been lavishing attention on the mutants.

Sulky Smith = just adorable *squee*.

SMITH: You've been...ignoring us for some time now, Miss Meyr. *Does the Glare*.

NEO: Don't mind him.*SMIRK.* There is no spoon. If you get what I'm telling you.

ME: Shut up, both of you, or I'll tell Trinity what you're up to.

NEO: !! *POUT* >^(

SMITH: ...Bitch.

ME: Anyway, Downpour is done. You were the ones that wanted a damn ficlet clear in the middle of Mileena's monologue. So I don't want to hear it.

NEO: >^P! *Razzzzz*

SMITH: What he said.

ME: And if he said "down on all fours"?

SMITH (without missing a beat or changing expression): And ruin the knees of my suit? How do you contaminants put it? "I don't fucking think so."

I taught him everything he knows >^D

See you, peeps.

The Kid Done Did It Again


Word!

I just finished up my first coherent original short.

Actually, that marks the first original anything I've done all year.

I won't make any quality claims. I'm just delirious that I completed something, and that it's all mine!

1,012 words. And it makes sense, and tells a complete event, and totally doesn't rely on any of my fandoms and came straight from the recesses of my brain *^_^*

And, oh yeah, it's werewolf fiction.

*As Shao Kahn* BOW TO ME!

Players


Relational Lyrics

I'm not the first to do this to their 'ships, and I won't be the only. But just sitting there listing it all out is boring. So I'm going to cut all the lyrics up and make one gigantic song out of them. They're not exactly seamless, but oh well.

Follow the bouncing ball! ;^D

You say you're seeing it my way
Look at it this way
You're the one in control
I'll settle for a cup of coffee
You know what I mean
I'll settle for a cup of coffee
You know what I mean
You know what I mean

It's human nature
And I'm not sorry
I'm not your bitch don't hang your shit on me
You wouldn't let me say the words I longed to say
You didn't want to see life through my eyes
You tried to shove me back inside your narrow room
And silence me with bitterness and lies

You've become my new temptation
When you play with my intentions
Pull the rope so tight
I can hardly breathe
Take me 'round again
I rise and fall again
It's the same, I live to die
I'll never call your name
Take me 'round again

Well she was more like a beauty queen
From a movie scene
Said I don't mind but what do you mean
I am the one?
Who would dance
On the floor
In the round
And people always told me
Be careful who you love
Be careful what you do
Because the lies become the truth

Now that you believe
I'm a friend indeed
Someone you can count on
Automatic, guaranteed
Like a thief in the night
I've got what you like
I want what you've got
I've got what you need
When you need me, call
I won't let you fall
Whatever you need
I've got it, guaranteed
Can I make you see
You can count on me
Just call my name and I'll come running


Heh. Guess who's who? >^D

Oh, the fun at home continues to unfold:

Among other things, the story that got back to us was that my aunt had informed the evil one that I couldn't keep up with her.

Actually, it was the other way around. Just going window-shopping--and not as much as I wanted, either--ran her into the ground. (It ought to have--she's on disability for a reason, people.) Which was clearly embarrassing and painful for her. So I worked it around that I had to rest at the intervals she suggested, that maybe I was feeling tired, too. It wasn't that difficult, and it clearly made her feel better.

But people in the States can't deal with being treated nice--particularly without motivation or angle, by someone they barely know.

I do things, a lot of core interpersonal things, the Japanese way by default.

It is my nature to ferret out people's needs, pre-empt them, and deliver with a smile before they know they ever wanted something.

People can't deal with that. Not really. It makes them uncomfortable.

Conversely, I'm getting very, very tired of being punished just because I'm nice.

A lot of my friends have told me that, you know. "You're too nice."

What the flying fucking hell? How can you be too nice?

Well, I mean, there's that fakey, really-I'm-being-mean kind of nice, but I haven't done that to my friends. (Cue me, scratching my head harder than ever. What exactly does that mean, too nice?)

Seems like everybody in the scene today
Is talkin' about how good it used to be
But TODAY,
RIGHT NOW
Is the way it's gonna be!


It's very simple: if I'm being good to you, it's because I think you deserve it.

Now shut up and take it, bitch! *Snaps whip.* >^D

See you 'round, peeps.

GIVE ME Zion's Access Codes


Only Human

I don't mean to come off all big and scary.

It just happens. Which is odd.

I'm five feet two inches tall, and a girl, and I have this really soft, almost painfully sugary voice that, while capable of some sourness, has no real bass. I mean, I dunno, I don't look scary. At least not to me. I wear unassuming blank t-shirts and unassuming khaki or denim shorts. I have these modest little white sparkle-threaded sneakers.

What's the deal? What? I'm not going to eat you or anything.

...Unless you piss me off.

Maybe it's that proviso. Which strikes me as especially ludicrous. Wouldn't anybody attack if they were sufficiently provoked? Why am I, like, the scary case?

Is it because I swear? Is it because of the eyebrows? (I do have large, dark, heavy eyebrows--I don't care if they're not "in" or "stylin' ", when I'm eighty and I still have nice eyebrows and you are some browless old freak I'll be laughing so hard). Is it because of the Twitchy Forehead Vein of Death?

...Well, okay, the Twitchy Forehead Vein of Death is pretty scary. I creep myself out, with that one.

I guess people either admire me or get the hell out of my way.

Don't ask why I write these things *kicks all her most recent scribblings, fanfic and non*. The answer's not pretty. I do it because, well, really, I can't stop. I'm always making shit up about something, whether I'm talking about it or writing it down. At least writing it down helps keep me from lying.

Yeah, I lie. Other people would be all cute and say they "embellish", like they were jewellers fancying up the dull uncut stone of their lives. Don't kid yourselves. It doesn't matter how pretty it is. It doesn't matter how seamless and believable and generally better than your actual, real, solid life it is. It's still not strictly true, and therefore, it is a lie.

People lie.

No, no, I'm serious. PEOPLE LIE. We tell comfy little untruths all day long to grease the wheels of our interpersonal relationships. Ever said "great" when you meant "awful"? Guess what. That's not being accomodating. It's not being nice. It's lying.

Hey, lying isn't bad. It's just kind of necessary.

There's something freeing in that. Really.

I'm a liar who tells lies, in a world smoothed and beautified and in some cases perpetuated entirely by literal, factual lies.

Truth is a functional issue, not a moral one.

It's funny, the text looks angry, like I should feel angry, writing it, or be angry, speaking it.

All I feel is...liberated.

I feel like I should be swinging from the chandeliers, except this is a modest, two-story suburban rental home, and thus it has no chandeliers. We do have a hanging lamp sort of thing, but I'm too heavy for that.

How much do I weigh? How incredibly rude. *SNORT.*

However, since you're now picturing me as this disgusting short beached-whale sort of thing, I can tell you I weigh less than 150lbs. And I would weigh considerably less than 150lbs. if I could just stay out of the ice cream. Which I can't. Not because I really can't, mind you, but because I don't really want to.

What? No, you can't have any. It's MINE >^D

I guess that's why I do most of the things in my life: I want to. Really want to. And other people's expectations just go out this little window--I can really be very rude about it, very rough--is that why people are scared of me?--when I do.

I'm going through this strange, selfish phase where I'm revelling in my own power. The truth is I'm short and soft-spoken, and the inner...beast...is more like this gigantic kitty.

I guess I'm feeling so high, so incredibly good that it's like I'm medicated, because it's finally okay for me to be like that. To freakin' be who I am.

Not speaking with my father helps a lot.

No more "Why can't you?" and "Why don't you?" and "You disappoint me."

It's that last one that always used to get me. Every time.

Or its twin: "I'm not angry, just disappointed."

Yes, you are angry. I know you are, because just listening to your little tirade I am so angry I want to punch you in the nose, good and hard, just to shut you up.

There was nothing domestically abberant in my household. Right. Of course there wasn't.

Or, rather, there hasn't been, since he left nine years ago. So I suppose, in his retelling, that would make it the same thing.

Excuse me. My brother's just been with the man for a month. And you would not believe the things pouring from that man's mouth. Just...poison. *Is livid.*

Okay, so now I am angry. Maybe that's what scares people: my flashpan temper.

Must...write...more...angst.

I believe all characters should suffer. They must suffer. They deserve to suffer. *Goes all vamp* HIIiiiiiSssss! >^D

It's not like I don't believe in happiness, or some equally depressing thing. I just like it when they're all tormented and broody.

Hmm...I just found a good word. Well I mean I had always had this word, but I looked it up again.

Picaresque. *BIG grins*. I like that one. It's all spicy-sounding *^_^*

Okay, see, give me a little food, and maybe a little sugar, and I get all happy again ;^)

"Fight, f*ck, sleep, eat, and repeat. I love this relationship."

Heh. That'll get the crap edited out of it before it resurfaces where it's supposed to. And it won't be where you think. Or the other place you just thought of, either.

Don't you love me when I'm cryptic? Of COURSE you do >^D

Admit it. Right here, right now, you all love me.

Wait and see what she does next! Step right up, folks! >^D

Oh, and yes, that transplant of yours is quite charming. *LOVE*. *^_^*

I never read the source material proper, but I don't suppose that matters; I'm enjoying it anyway.

Faretheewell :^D

Bwa-hahahaha!


Ph34r M3!

I took one of those "which thingy describes your slash set"? quizzes.

Completely not in my fandoms, completely not for a ship I like. (Snape/Harry--URRRGH *rips out her eyes and washes them repeatedly in an effort to erase the images*.) Major Squicksville.

And yet it was also insightful:

"You love the thought of Snape and Harry using one another as a means of escaping the coldness of reality in a few minutes of warmth. Though it is usually an unconcious decision, when your boys fall in love all of the masks come off. Your favourite stories most probably include a lot of angst, confusion, and sex. Wahoo!"

Not so much how I read, but definitely how I write. ^_~

Stick the names Smith and Neo in there. Or Mileena and Baraka. Or Jax and Sonya. Or Kitana and Mileena. (I'm not giving up on that one and STOP staring at me like that!) That's exactly how it all works, at least for me.

Anyway.

I'll give you the link if you want it; didn't figure it was something the general crew would be interested in, though.
