*tired grin*

[harborshore]

HI LIVEJOURNAL. I have returned. I MISSED YOU ALL. (Shhh, I know I was kind of failing at hiatus but I was gone a lot and didn't post and stuff.)

HI. Can you tell I'm tired? I spent today doing absolutely nothing. Oh, I suppose I did the dishes while listening to Pulp (♥ thesamefire), I suppose that was kind of active. The best thing about today was that my sister came home from the US and she brought one of my book boxes (I had two boxes of books that I couldn't afford to ship stored with my host family), which means I now have so many books I'd been missing for the past two years.

Um, right. I turned in the paper, obviously. I still have to defend, but that's in two and a half weeks, and right now I'm just going to enjoy my little window of freedom and stuff. So much love for all the support I received, in so many different forms. Thanks for the comments, the ficlets, the edits (♥, ♥, ♥), the love. Me and my 50 pages of translation analysis are so very grateful.

Tell me how you've been, what you're reading, how the big bangs are going if you're writing one, if you're not, tell me about something else you're writing, tell me what you're up to, if it was sunny today where you are.

Most importantly: ♥.

I am not Jesus, but I have the same initials / I am the man who stays home and does the dishes

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

It doesn't fit my plans / But I got that taste in my mouth again

[thesamefire.livejournal.com]

I want a mini-challenge where all the prompts are Pulp couplets. It would be AWESOME.

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

YES. OH MAN. Fuck, that has the potential for some fabulous stories.

[thesamefire.livejournal.com]

I think it would work best if people were willing to commit to writing either hurty or really sleazy/louche stuff, but I know those are just my particular kinks talking :/

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

YOUR KINKS ARE OKAY. I like your kinks! Though I think if some lyrics were taken out of context, you could probably give people room to write less angsty/dirty stuff. You know, if they don't share the kink. Like, I spy a boy, I spy a girl/I spy a chance to change the world.

[thesamefire.livejournal.com]

but the WHOLE POINT of using pulp for prompts is that it is hurty and sleazy!

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

I just like being inclusive! I'm Swedish, we were born to compromise. Besides, it'd be a hilarious contrast. Sleaze, sleaze, angsty porn, sleaze, sunshine-and-fluff, angst.

[thesamefire.livejournal.com]

I'm Canadian and so were we, but I DONT CARE I WANT MORE STUFF THAT HITS MY KINKS >:(

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

There, there. I have to admit, I like fluff as much as the next girl (we've established that I am a sappy wretch, right?), but I, nnngh. Yeah. I would also like more hurty angsty porn, this is truuuue.

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

PS. Oh, I know it's ugly and shouldn't be like that/ Oh, but it's turning me on

I would write that, if I didn't suck at writing porn. You do it.

Hello, you!

So glad your paper's turned in and you have a little bit of time to breathe. ♥

I'm poking at some fic things, hoping to get back into the groove I had going with this one particular AU, and still pondering signing up for bandgirlsbang. I want to! But not unless I know what I'm going to write. Self-imposed prerequisite, to hopefully avoid the psych-out I had with big bang. :)

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

HI pretty pretty icon.

:D I am indeed breathing, and it is excellent.

Oh, AWESOME. But yeah, the deadline-for-pressure works so much better if you have something you really want to write. Like, I had my big bang in my head way before I started it, and I just want to tell that story, you know? It helps with putting aside writing-related anxieties.

[wasoncedelight.livejournal.com]

Plenty more where that pretty icon came from!

I've got two potential ideas, I think, that I do want to write and could probably make the word count, but like we talked about that one time, I need more plot to go with all those pesky ~feelings. More story in my story, you know? So, we'll see!

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

Fuck, she's gorgeous. This is why Basic accounts are unsatisfying. NO ICON SPACE.

That sounds exciting. Yup, plot is essential. I love plot! I used to think it was the awfullest, but I adore it now.

PS - I have fallen down yet another Jonas brothers related rabbit hole - which is to say my brain is being eaten by the epicness that is the easy_academy. It's not even Nick/Joe! Idk why I love it but I do?

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

*tackles you* LOVE.

PS. I have totally read some of that, heee. annakovsky is pretty fabulous as far as fic goes, I used to read her for other fandoms back when I was a lurky lurker.

[enhendi.livejournal.com]

I MISSED YOU TOO *TACKLES*

I'm having adventures in operating systems and trying to write stuff (mostly failing...). Also, if you haven't seen Star Trek, it is A+. I am beginning to ship Kirk/Spock and don't know why.

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

*falls over happily*

Ooooh, that sounds exciting. Are you using Linux? Because I feel like I saw you post about it but things are a little hazy. I haven't seen Star Trek yet, but that's very good to know. :D

[enhendi.livejournal.com]

I'm using Ubuntu, which is a kind of Linux, yep. It's really pretty awesome and I'm having so much fun figuring it all out. It's a good summer project.

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

I really need to get on this whole Linux thing. I am currently learning about Unix, which is also lots of fun.

[enhendi.livejournal.com]

It's lots of fun, especially if you're a geek like me. I love all sorts of technological stuff like that! :D

[iamsupernova.livejournal.com]

STAAAAAAAR TREEEEEEEEEEEEK

That is all, because it is 3 AM.

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

:DDDDDDD HI

GO TO SLEEP!!! Oh, I guess that should be "did you sleep?"

[extemporally.livejournal.com]

HI.

TODAY WE VISITED MY OLD SCHOOL AND GOT CHASED OUT OF THE LIBRARY.

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

HIIII. :D

Ooooh, that sounds exciting! This should go in that story you were writing!

[nokomis305.livejournal.com]

Hi hi!

I've been failing to work on my bbb in favor of devouring comics and reading dcu fanfic. IDEK. I need to get on that though.

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

HIIII. *glomps you*

OH MAN ME TOO. Not the comics but the failing. I am so excited to see how you mess around with yours, though. :D

But speaking of comics, if you know where I can find UA scans, I'd be mostest grateful. I have decided I should probably read it. I haven't read comics in a long time (did we talk about this? I feel like we did), but I'm kind of excited.

[nokomis305.livejournal.com]

*glomps back*

I keep deluding myself that there's "not that much to write..." even though I know I have whole SCENES. But we will both finish and have AMAZING stories, as I'm super excited for your final draft.

Comics! Here's Apocalypse Suite. I don't have Dallas, but I think you can find them all at comicunity. (If not let me know, I can find them somewhere.) It's quality stuff! (I don't know if you've downloaded comics before but it's easy to read them with CDisplay.) Comics are SO FUN and Gerard's brain is SO DELIGHTFUL.

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

Ahaha YES. I still haven't written the boat-stealing scene. I keep editing bits around it.

\o/ I KNEW you'd know, because you're brilliant like that. I have downloaded Apocalypse Suite and now I just have to figure out what to do on a Mac, but I'm seriously so excited. Comics ARE a lot of fun, I stopped buying them when I started reading super-fast at ten, because it became way too expensive a habit to support on an allowance when I was finishing them in ten minutes. This downloading business is good times.

[nokomis305.livejournal.com]

Ah, according to the info at comicunity FFView is a good reader for Macs. (You can also, I think, view .cbr files as individual jpeg images if you change the extension to .rar and unzip it, but I recommend using readers as it makes it much simpler.) But I LOVE downloading runs of comics and devouring them... paper copies are better, yes, and I spend more time relishing the art, but for giant runs of stuff, I love just reading them on my computer. (I can totally provide recs, if you want. Just let me know what you're into!)

[softlyforgotten.livejournal.com]

♥ Hiii, you. I am kind of exhausted, but, good to have you back. <3

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

Hey, sweetheart. It's really good to be around again. Exhausted sounds less good, though, I hope things are okay? ♥
