First off...at the behest of Megan and Poppy, I'm working on getting icons up!

I only have this one right now, courtesy of Meagan (moirariordan), and I'd really like one each of these:
Lizwin picture
Dasey picture
Chyan picture
BSC picture/art
Drake and Josh picture
Shane Kippel
Josh Peck

If you have any of those or would be willing to make one I'd be really grateful. I would be especially interested in a Lizwin one because I have searched and this one that is just text that I'm using is the only one I can find that is even remotely Lizwin. In fact, I haven't had a chance to go searching for those others, but I'm insanely confident that I should be able to find them. That is the only one I'm worried about so seriously, if you can find a Lizwin one I'd be seriously happy. Or make me one, that would be great too. Especially if they are in the games closet or doing the arm around the shoulder thing or spying. Cause those are favorite scenes. Ooh! And if you decided to be really awesome and make me one...I'd love it if you put something like "angst in training" or something. Cause they really have been doing the junior Derek and Casey thing this season.

Anyway, I taped Dirty Dancing today. YAY! (haha yes I'm oldschool and still tape stuff on VHS). Off a movie network so there are no commercials for me to have to work on not taping. Yes I hate commercials to the point that I stop and restart for them. Which is why I have all the Disney aired season 3 Life With Derek episodes without commercials except Rumour Mill. Cause I'm awesome that way. New US ep tomorrow at 3/2central btw. That got a little off topic because this was about how I love that movie!

Just read ALL NINETEEN chapters of Boy Disease. Can I just say how amazingly beautiful it is? Its perfect.

I also read thebucketwoman's new fic Closet Monsters. It's so fantastic I haven't been able to review her because words fail me at how to accurately describe it. Suffice it to say that when words fail me you really have outdone yourself, sweetie. Especially since this is a bit of a darkfic. And OMG theres BIG BROTHER DEREK and there's strong!Lizzie which is a lot because I think in the end it's going to be really hard for her. And I'm really DYING to see chapter 3 and also get some Edwin! Because I NEED to know about how Edwin fits into the dynamic, though I have my suspicions. I figure he'll be a lot like Steph's Derek in "Somewhere Between Unsure and a Hundred", feeling guilty when there's nothing he could have done about it. And also feeling mad that he can't go after the guy and hurt him because Lizzie already did. Angst!Edwin should be interesting to see. And I'm DYING to get confirmation that they are together because she kind of left us hanging. Okay...so maybe there are a *few* words. But truly, you have outdone yourself.

That's basically it...a day full of fic reading and movie taping. It was a pretty awesome day. *off to ruin it with a psych assignment*

 The Chyan Valentines Day fic is up!

http://community.livejournal.com/theborogoves/14922.html

I've been writing a Chyan one-shot for Valentine's day. It's not QUITE finished, but it's going up TOMORROW, so your holiday can just spill over a little! 

And for everyone who was like "HP is banned?!?!" I'm used to it...it's been banned since someone tried to give me a copy of "the sorcerers stone" for my birthday which was forever ago 'cause it was the only one around. I still plan on reading them in secret. I just have to find the time. Don't worry 'bout me...I'm still going to read them! Just a little late. And my parents aren't part of those freaky people who are trying to get them banned at schools or burning copies. They don't care what other people do, they just don't let them in our house. So they're not super psycho...they just try to control me and my sister. Which I'll sneak the books past when I find the time (and money) so it's not so huge. They're just really controlling. And yes, I'm sure you're all wondering "isn't she 23?" but my parents don't care. They're like "When you start acting like we want you to, then you'll get treated like an adult" which is super retarded and makes me angry like all the time, but I'm used to it. 

And Steph? When the semester is over I might take you up on that offer...it's so ridiculous here.

Currently, I'm single, but I still got lots of Valentine's loot. I guess since my parent's treat me like a child they can give me Valentine's presents like a child too. Or maybe it's because I still live with them and Jacey is only sixteen, I don't know. Anyway, some really cute new pajamas, a stuffed puppy (I collect them), and a box of turtle candies. And six very gorgeous red roses. And yesterday I gave my mom an early Valentine's present of a pink tipped yellow carnation surrounded with baby's breath (I hate that name, btw. It freaks me out.) and a brownie. From the sale at my college.

Still working on cleaning my room and currently obsessed with making a dress out of three pairs of old pants that don't fit me (or in the case of one pair, my mother) anymore. Considering my mother's sewing machine has issues (I broke a needle. Then I replaced it and tried to use a different foot, but that didn't work. Then I tried to put back the regular foot, and the little bar that holds it on is chipped and doesn't want to hold it on in the right angle. So now I keep breaking needles because they keep hitting the foot since it's not in the right place. I can't figure out how to make the foot go in the right place. Any suggestions would be very welcome.) Anyway, considering that I'm kind of going to be at a standstill shortly. I think I'm going to ask for a sewing machine for Christmas or my birthday, either way that won't be until December. The great thing about making new clothes out of old ones is that you don't have to pay for fabric! And in the case of this dress, I made up the pattern all by myself and am making it specifically for my measurements so I didn't have to buy a pattern either! (If you sew, don't do this unless you like doing a lot of basic math: a.k.a. adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. There's no upper level math, it doesn't go past that, but there's a lot of that. Oh and there's a lot of measuring too.) All I've had to buy so far was a zipper and i'm anticipating buying thread. I plan to post a picture when I finish both the room cleaning and the dress.

Steph, that test I took? I got a sixty. But the class average was a 65 and the prof said that almost everyone does way worse on the first test than on the rest of them. So I'm not that worried. It's not the end of the world. 

I could swear there was more I was going to say but I guess that's all. Have a happy holiday!

A little while ago i_m_pk posted a blog in which she referenced laneyseradias' hilarious Red Sox two parter blog, which can only be described as fan-fucking-tastic. I'm a huge Sox fan.

At any rate, I'm reading through said informative but fangirly blog (because whats the use of hot guys if we can't fangirl them?) and I come to this:

Spring training is just what it sounds like: in the spring, before the regular baseball season starts, teams get together and practice, get back into shape, and play pre-season games. Pitchers and catchers arrive first, as they will need the most work to get back into shape. (Well, the pitchers will. The catchers are there because there are few relationships in sports or in life as close as a pitcher and his catcher.)

Well I'm not even sure I should have to tell you this, you should just know. But immediately my mind went to the last shot of I Don't Dance, and the slider and Chad and Ryan and suddenly...the pitcher catcher relationship will never be the same in my mind again. If you look at it from a Chyan point of view...it adds this whole new dimension to them. Not only do we have to think about tops/bottoms, but who's the pitcher and who's the catcher?

I am such a dork.

BTW: I vote Ryan for pitcher, Chad for catcher.

That is all.

 
On a completely different topic: lookie what I did today! 

 So I intended to post a fic on my birthday tomorrow...but I can't seem to finish anything. 

I have scads and scads of paragraphs on 5 or 6 different oneshots and stories and I just can't find endings for any of them.

Someone give me a request please? I need new inspiration for ideas that don't come from my own head. Chyan, Drake/Josh, Craig/Eric (OOh, they're ship name should be Egg. Eric/Craig=Egg and then we shippers could be Egg Heads which is totally dorky, just like Craig and Eric!...Sorry bout that. Sometimes I'm like Sheldon Schlepper and don't know when to stop talking) and of course Shemily, Dasey and Lizwin are all appreciated!

Also, and this is totally unrelated, but I was watching "I Love Lucy", the episode "The Great Train Robbery" today and you guys should all know she's hilarious, the ensemble comedy teams of Fred/Ricky Ethel/Lucy and Fred/Ethel Ricky/Lucy are hilarious and this show was my very first to fangirl over. And I felt like telling you.
