THESE ARE CAPSLOCK OF DESPAIR.
I haven't wanted anyone to win so hard since...well the last time England got knocked out of a tournament. And his poor, heartbroken, squishy face...just kills me. I do NOT like Federer today >:(
(good game though)
Feel free to admire my new Kristin icon that I snagged. She's so pretty there and it has nothing at all do with the post but it cheers me up.
1) *clears throat importantly* I have been nominated for an award. My Morgana story, The Curse of Prophecy, was nominated at the
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small}
excalibur_award for Best Characterization for Morgana, Best Angst, Best Drama. How freaking cool is that. I've never been nominated for anything before and I'm super excited about this. 2) Wimbledon is stressing me out this year. It's Andy Murray Vs Andy Roddick tomorrow. Murray is British and I'm desperate for a British winner much like the rest of Great Britain but I love Roddick. Like deeply, madly love. I find him hilarious and charming and amazing to watch. It's going to be painful, I tell ya.
3) It's hot. YAY! We had a barbecue and complained about the heat and ate a lot. It was fun.
4) I bought extra icon space. I so need to organize them now and get them loaded and actually use them properly.
This was posted by someone in regards to me on an LJ that I won't name because I don't want to cause trouble. I'm not sure why I'm upset considering who wrote it but if anyone feels like this, even a tiny little bit like this, then defriend me now. I mean it. And yes I am paranoid. But either be straight to my face or take me off your list and then you won't have to deal with me.
"Reason you disagree is because you're one of the main people in this clique that spews a tremendous amount of hatred. I mean if I can get over it, maybe you should too."

starry_dawn When you see this, post five unpopular fandom opinions in your journal.
1) Chloe Sullivan rocks my socks. She will always remain one of my favourite fictional characters in the whole world. With Lizzy Bennet and Rhett Butler, she's in good company.
2) Smallville has fucked me up when it comes to the words iconic, mythos and canon so much so that a brand spanking new take on Pride and Prejudice could end with Darcy and Lizzy not ending up together and I would be fine. Gone With The Wind could end up with Scarlett never realizing that she loved Rhett and running away with Ashley after Melanie died and I wouldn't throw a tantrum. I would just ignore them and cling to my beloved books.
3) I don't get the Christian Bale love but then I also don't think Megan Fox is the most gorgeous woman to have walked the Earth or that Angelina is a very nice person.
4) Merlin fandom intimidates me and I can't reallly get settled so I just hand around the edges, occasionally cheering or booing or yaying.
5) Wincest freaks me out despite not watching the show just as VC Andrews books freaked me out when I was a teenager. I. DON'T. GET. IT.
From his twitter page:
"The old saying 'less is better' is true.I did NOTHING and received a nomination.Genius.Vote and I'll give you a funny speech if I win."
"Teen choice award best villain http://www.teenchoiceawards... nominated and not on show anymore. fucking priceless."
I love this man. Love him. Let's get this for him. He's promised us a funny speech and if TW wins too (vote for him everyday) we might get WellingBaum togther in which case I would expire on the spot.
It's very odd being on the other side of the canon/mythos/destiny fence. I see the same old comments from a different perspective. It's enlightening in a way. Uncomfortable in others.
I can't bring myself to defend Arwen using the legend/fate/destiny argument. It's not why I like them anyway. I can't bring myself to use any Arwen icons with words such as destiny awaits. Too many knee jerk reactions to the words. I can't blame people for not want to see it happen. I know how it feels. It doesn't stop me from wanting it to happen.
I want a different ending too. A happy one for Arthur and his would be Queen. I have no interest in seeing him heartbroken and Gwen changing beyond recognition into the woman we know from legend.
It's interesting how insight into one fandom can alter the way you interact in another and yet your views about both fandoms remain unchanged. Nothing will ever top Chlark for me despite the canon and yet I'm falling for Arwen despite the canon.
Odd!
Remember when you were brand new to fandom and you devoured every single fanfic you could find about your ship, trolled the rec lists, the archives, searched back entries of certain LJ's, browsed the boards, etc.
I do. It was a good time.
sparklingivy is in that phase now. She had some lovely things to say about my writing on Kryptonsite but I know there are so many more better written fics out there and so many more better writers then me so I would love it if you guys would rec some of your favourite Chlark stories in the comments, your own work included. Lets's see what we can come up with :)Helpful Links
Elly's Blog - There's enough to keep anyone occupied and very happy for weeks and there's every kind of story you could imagine or wish for.
crack_van - Searching the tags for Smallville (as suggested by Mel) will unearth some goodies too.Some of my favourite writers,
all_you_wanted , tobywolf13 , carcassi , twistedlyn , laurelnola , h2oprincess , marikology , babydee1, The Satyricon and I'm sure there's some that I'm forgettingP.S. I suck at Birthday wishes. I really and truly do *hangs head*
I know that several of my flist celebrated their birthdays in the last few days. I hope you guys had a great time.
THIS WAS POSTED ON JTW. YOU GUYS!! I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW STUPIDLY HAPPY IT MADE ME JUST TO SEE THEM HUG. AND WHAT A HUG! MY HEART!!!!!
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
It's at the 1.50 mark. Tom's at the bottom left hand of the screen and you see him point and then Michael runs over and they jump into each others arms. Seriously...NO WORDS FOR HOW CUTE THEY ARE.
Jane Austen, Elizabeth Chadwick, Michael Crichton and John Grisham. I guess it's between those four.
2) What book do you own the most copies of?
None.
3) What fictional character are you secretly in love with?
Secretly? I'm pretty mouthy about fictional characters I love but one of my most favourite that I don't get to talk about a lot is Eomer from LOTR. I also adore Rhett Butler from Gone With The Wind. And Darcy.

Please, lovely people who aren't crazy fans of Tom, don't defriend me. The photo's will dry up soon and Tom will go back to being a hermit and you won't have to deal with my glee filled posts. But I will be sad. That's just a cross you will have to bear. A price to pay for a de-cluttered friends page.
I hate the big dirty watermark. HQ and unmarked pics are our friends.
Sorry to spam but my gorgeous, lovely sister found another one for me:
Just in case anyone hasn't seen this one yet.
Stupid Gettyimages filled with pics of stupid celebs at the Lakers game. Celebs that aren't Tom or Michael but random people who, I hate to be blunt, just aren't that special. (I do think Sophia is sweet though. Just wanted that cleared).
I HAVE TO POST THE PICS.
LOOKY!
FROM HERE
( ONE MORE )
ARE THERE ANY WORDS THAT DO JUSTICE TO THIS MAN? ARE THERE? ARE THERE? NO I DIDN'T THINK SO. HE BUMPED INTO MICHAEL ROSENBAUM AT THE GAME. LETS HOPE OF PICS OF THE BOYS TOGETHER.
THIS POST WAS BROUGHT TO YOU BY CAPSLOCKS OF GLEE!!
(Is it insane of me to be upset that this is the first time Michael and Tom have seen each other since the season 7 finale? Because I am upset. Quite a bit. I know they're both busy but...come on guys...pull yourselves together and hang out...*sniff*)
It's not just me, right?
( hmnn!! )
As for the rest of the cast, they're blah too. There's nothing that makes me sit up and want to watch more. The characters seem to be watered down and the only one that seems remotely interesting to me is Bonnie. I liked her in the little we saw of her. The guy that Stefan is living with seems to be an OC and I think he has some potential but the main three...yeah not feeling it.
2) I am feeling Michael Crichton books though. I've read five over the last week. I don't know why it took me so long to discover him but I absolutely love his use of science to paint a plausible yet scary as hell scenario.
3) Birthdays. A lot of my Flist celebrate birthdays in May and June and I've already missed some so HAPPY BIRTHDAY to
h2oprincess , redteekal , tigger_01 , kdsch123 and steefvanierselOf all the stories you've written, which five are your favourite?
1) God Damn It - This is my favourite of all the baby!Clark stories I've written. I think this was the second Kent family fic I wrote and I like I really like how it turned out. I don't usually write humour very well and I think this was one of my better efforts.
2) Everyday Hero - My first Chlark story. My first foray into the world of fanfiction. I think that plays a big part in my fondness for this story. I got such a good response from people and I had so much fun writing this.
3) Hidden Agendas - My first Chruce story. It just popped into my head and I think it took me about half an hour to type up, proofread and post. Writing never comes that easily to me usually.
4) Take Me Flying - This one is angsty and sad I just really, really like how it turned out because sometimes life is angsty and sad and kida crap.
5) Rythym - It was a toss up between this and Tabloid Tales but this one won out because I like the hint of angst.
And I tag everyone on my Flist that writes :D
I had some free time today so I enjoyed the sunshine, ran some errands and trolled the internet for funny!
