(no subject)

I signed up to work a ten hour shift tonight, because I was lured in by the promise of breakfast tacos. Of course I would do this the night a major storm system rolls on, the night I'm wearing sandals. Blah.

What a long weird day. Crisis averted and all, but still I feel wired. I need to answer a lot of those interview requests, and just take a moment to try and will the caffiene out of my system.

The lightning is massive, reflecting through the clouds and bright enough to turn the world negative.

Want to curl up and be somewhere else in my head, away from the maps.

because I never shut up

VioletisBlue's questions....
~~~~~~~

1. You wake up one morning to discover, owing to some bizarre conjunction of planets, that you are no longer in your own room but in the master bedroom of Malfoy Manor. Though you still look and sound like your old self, Lucius seems to believe you are his wife, Draco believes you are his mother, and Narcissa herself is nowhere in sight. The reactions of others remain to be seen. What are the first, second and third things you do?

The first: Smile, carry on grandly with breakfast, and secretly wonder if I fell out of the bed in my sleep and cracked my skull. Decide even if this is a coma dream, it's far too entertaining to be believed and relax.

The second: Spend some quality time with my husband, the talking and the not talking kind. Attempt to figure out which variation of the universe I've landed in. Shag Malfoy regardless.

The third: Start practicing curses and hatching plans for world domination.

2. If you could be a brilliant, celebrated writer but in exchange had to forever renounce every single person you loved save one, who would that remaining person be and why?

The first time I posted I forgot to answer this question because it's so damned hard.

I think ultimately I would have to take RM with me. Because she kicks my ass when I need it, she cooks, she's brilliant, makes for a hell of a partner in crime, and we would have so much fun being snarky at parties.

3. Describe the outfit (clothing, shoes, hairstyle, etc.) which never fails to make you feel too stylin' for the room. If you don't possess such an outfit, describe a fantasy version thereof.

Black boots, side zip and three inch heels, black stretch jeans, long sleeved high collared dark green button down shirt over black tank top, furry Soviet hat, long black coat, hair slicked back, eyeliner, mascara and my kingly ring.

4. When you hear HP fains ranting on and on about JKR's many failings in regard to how she writes her books as opposed to how BNFs write their HP stories, do you want to cheer said ranters on or slap them silly, and why?

Dude. There are times when I want to say, "Shut the fuck up!" Loudly. Alright, it's one thing to have quibbles and debate someone's literary merits. For something that has exploded the way HP has, it's certainly acceptable. Bring on the serious critical evaluations, but for god's sake be a serious academic about it and remember who and what the books are written for when you start. Granted, they are not the best books ever written. Granted, they are amazing stories and have captivated so many people. But I tend to think it's more of a tribute to JKR's creativity and talent that so many people have read these things and become inspired to play with her characters.

5. Everyone, in whatever faindom, has read a story which everyone and their mother has praised to the skies as a fainfic "classic," which you personally thought was wildly overrated or just plain not interesting, and which you never shared your honest opinion on for fear of the public reaction. Muster up your courage, and name that story now and why you didn't like it.

"Malfoy, P.I." has got to be one of the most boring things in the entire world. I can't stand it. Same goes for "Draco Dormiens," "Draco Sinister" and "Draco Veritas."

"The Mirror of Maybe" could have been good, but no. Sigh. Boring, boring, overwraught and just plain ridiculous.

I'll also say I personally loathe the genre of Harry The New Dark Lord Potter, who seems to spend all his time having kinky sex. So boring. I have yet to see a single one that was well written or compelling in any way.
