I just went back through my journal and looked at my old entries from around this date in May from the past few years...

In May 2007 I had just created my LJ and I was freaking out about coming out.

In May 2008 I was squeeing about a death!fic discussion in qaf_coffeeclub.

In May 2009 I was depressing myself by reading Judy Shepard's book The Meaning of Matthew and some sort of DC disaster preparedness booklet that included a section about what to do in case of a nuclear explosion.

In May 2010 I was not posting much of anything.

In May 2011 I was using my journal to keep track of my ridiculously long to-do lists because I enjoyed striking tasks through when I had completed them.

In May 2012 I was still making ridiculously long to-do lists. And I was squeeing about other TV shows.

And in May 2013 I've mostly been posting about QAF again :)

If you look at the archive of my journal it probably looks empty in May (and every other month) of every year except this one because a few years ago I went through a weird paranoid phase and did a massive lockdown on my journal and made all of my entires private (except for my fic postings). Now most things I post are either f-locked or completely open, but I am more careful about what I post. In case anyone noticed.

I've been continuing my little marathon of QAF on my days off. Making my way through season 5 now. The bombing episode and the one after (510 and 511) are really, really good TV. I forgot what a high-quality show this was. I also entirely forgot about Mel and Lindsay moving to Canada *lol* Watching the bombing episode reminded me of how many fics I read that surrounded this particular event. Reading fics definitely enriched my experience of QAF.

Aw DAMN, I made this the other day and then I totally forgot to post it here. :/

*heads desk repeatedly*

However...I hope you'll like it.

Fandom: Harry Potter
Title: Finding Happiness
Pairing: Severus/Harry
Rating: PG
Word Count: 3008
Beta: slanderouslibel
Summary: Concerned about Harry--because he only seems to spend time with Severus Snape when he isn't teaching--Hermione pays a visit to Headmistress McGonagal who has similar concerns about Severus. Together, the two plot to get Severus and Harry together because if neither man will date willingly--and in Harry's case, even flirt with the men Hermione introduces him to--then they must be perfect for one another.
Warnings: None
Contains: asexual relationship
Disclaimer: I own nothing; I make no money from this. Harry Potter belongs to JK Rowling, Warner Brothers, Scholastic Books et. al.
A/N: Written for the 2013 Snarry fest at snape_potter. This was prompt 097: Both Hogwarts professors, Snape and Harry both have reputations as virgin prudes. They claim they're just picky. Their friends decide they need to hook up because nobody else will meet their ridiculous standards. Originally posted here.

So my sister's friend left her a copy of Fifty Shades of Grey, so I just flipped through it and read a few pages from a few spots and man, ugh, it's HORRIBLE. The sex scenes are just a big pile of badfic cliches. And the inner thoughts of Anastasia? Blech. I thought I might read it, but no way. Definitely not worth it. There's so much GOOD, sexy, well-written fic out there in the world, why would I bother with this?

Someone on YT said we need a slow mo of the Nagron 303 extended scene...and so I made this:

Sorry dudes, but I don't have a YT link for you because of THIS bullshit!! I mean....WHAT!THE!FUCK??? :( I got a "lovely" email from YT five mins later (after they killed my vid) and they told me that Starz Media LLC is the owner of the clips (Yeah? Who would have thought? *rolls eyes*) and that they (Starz Media LLC) might not like that I've used them.That's the reason why they blocked the vid WORLDWIDE.Erm...MIGHT NOT LIKE??? Duh YouFuckingTube,does Starz Media LLC even know of this or is this just your own BS?I mean there are TONS of Nagron/Spartacus vids up there so WTF did they pick THIS vid????

However...praise the Gods for Vimeo!! ;))

ENJOY!! <3
