| Happy Birthday To Us!!!!! |
[Nov. 22nd, 2009|09:19 am] |
I think you might have noticed my passing fondness (which, yes, was rapidly fanned into a full-blown obsession) for a certain German soap opera. Today is our birthday! Eskimo Kiss Project is one year old today!
I was going to gush about what an incredible, intense experience this has been (and I still might after I have my coffee), but right now I want to share my squeee! We're getting so much love there, including THE BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER EVER EVER!!!
Wish you all could see me beaming right now!!! (Or maybe not, it's probably kinda scary...) |

| Six Impossible Things (Seth’s Morning List Remix) [The O.C., Seth/Ryan, 100 Words, PG-13] |
[Nov. 22nd, 2009|02:31 am] |
1. Only sesame seed bagels left, and no cream cheese. My life, ladies and gentlemen.
2. Ate a bowl of Oreos for breakfast.
3. There’s a coffee ring stain on my X-men. I know I accidentally burned down Dad’s office, but a man’s comics are sacred.
4. Ryan kissed me to shut me up. Twice. (!!!)
5. Did a Samuel L. Jackson impression under my breath. Was sharing my bucket of popcorn, extra butter, with Ryan, when our shoulders bumped together. It was nice; not Summer-in-a-Wonder-Woman-outfit nice, but getting there.
6. Make out Share kisses with Ryan at the poolhouse.
Remix of ![[info - livejournal.com]](http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif) theswearingkind's Sam Jackson Ain't Got Nothing on These Two (f-locked) for remixthedrabble. I haven't actually watched the episode on which #3 is based. One day I'll probably finish watching the O.C. Maybe. If only for more of Seth Cohen's wordvomit.

It's me, doing things and having culture and stuff!
that is the entrance to Jones Hall from the underground parking garage that spans the underbelly of the entire Theater District. Cool art, for an underground lair. :D
Brahms was excellent. Mahler was odd. It was a great night.

Interesting article on AfterElton: Why are Women Interested in Gay Men? It's Not Because They Want to Sleep With Them!* Fortunately it dispels the myth that gay men/slash just appeals to straight women -- 38% of these polled identified as lesbian/bi/other -- and the explanations offered are a little more sophisticated than the usual "it's just like men liking lesbians." I'm less happy that the wording on some of the questions assumed heterosexuality (bad, AE, bad!) and were painfully American-centric, but some of the comments quoted manage to go beyond these limitations. All in all, pretty interesting read.

| Hi! My name is Minxie… |
[Nov. 20th, 2009|12:24 pm] |
…and I'm a submissive. As in, a contracted and collared sub to my husband, Matt. D/s, BDSM, leather, lifestyle, call it what you will. It is what it is.
Originally, I intended to post something like an introduction because, as my fandoms branch out, there are new people on my flist. And I tend to be loud and opinionated when it comes to head exploding kink fics. Figured offering some insight to me might help explain the tangent rants I sometimes have. Along with the fact that most, if not all, of my fics have some display of power dynamics, no matter how subtle.
I'm sure those of you who know me best find that to be an understatement. Heh.
This has morphed, through conversations with friends, into not only a hey, this is me post, but also one that, for lack of tact on my part, is a whoa! let's think about this before you write it post. Mainly because BDSM comes under enough fire without having misleading works of fiction floating around out there stirring up more trouble than they're worth.
And, honestly, not trying to be a bitch, but if a piece of fiction disregards the basic principles of safe, sane, and consensual they really are more trouble than they're worth. They set a stage for others, those not in the scene, that can lead to misunderstandings, arguments, and, most important, serious injury.
Not cool.
Not when it takes just a few lines of dialogue, or even implied conversation to lend believability and credibility to the work.
To that end, I've started a list. ( Which is actually quite funny seeing as I despise lists. )
Got questions? Ask 'em. I'd rather you ask me something embarrassing than you make my head go splodey in the next fic I run across.

Aziraphale had, on several occasions*, persuaded Crowley to take over his angelic duties. When it is his turn to be Crowley's stand-in, he tempts impoverished students** to make splurges on books at Amazon.

Ottawa is nice. Stable. Practical.
Montréal is not.
Montréal has shopping!
Mad crazy shopping that just sweeps you up and hijacks your credit card and you don't even care. Even department stores that you'd expect to be the same everywhere are sparklier in that city. Like the Bay. Even the boring old Bay, when it's plopped down in the middle of Ste-Catherine's, is suddenly magically filled with irresistible baubles and fashions that make me look fashionable.

I'm tossing up dropping between_worlds. It's not holding my attention but it's fun and I feel guilty leaving the few people I have plots with.... especially since I recently dropped a game where one of them is so we lost this plot there too. It's fun but it's just so hard to keep up with at the moment... though its not as bad as it was. I just, I dunno. |

Conference sucked. My materials didn't arrive, so while all the other booths had fancy banners and slick handouts, I had business cards.
On the plus side, I bought sparkly silver and black tights and met Deniz Öztürk's younger brother. Which I know is crazy, Igor's not Turkish at all, but this guy was and he was the spitting image: same coltish arms, same lethally long legs, same lips... have you any idea how hard it is to talk business with someone that has those lips? |
