For my next project, I intend to determine the average amount of fluff that can be extracted from one housecat.

My current working theory is that each pound of cat generates approximately 68 million cubic inches of cat fluff.

... -_- *vacuums*

I'm sure I've taken this before, but I am a sheepy thing, and I think it's extremely accurate.

Forgive me the crossposting, if you can! This fic post doubles as an announcement post, too: all future fics will be posted on the_towers, the new TF fanwork community created by me and lady_oneiros. You can feel free to unfriend me on this journal, if you're just following it for the fiction. Or you can stay, of course, and listen to my babbling. ^__^

Voices Carry, Part I: Requiem

My favorite part about this is how the jingle literally just says what is part of the toy: "a rainbow and a sun and a duck too!" Though I wanted this toy, I never actually had it. ...I did have almost every other MLP set from the mid to late '80s, though. >.>

Because I, too, am a little sheepy thing who is procrastinating just now:

Now I will pretend like I spent the afternoon doing something important, like actually writing.

So, I never really update this with anything of note. ...And that is still going to be true. Even so, I thought this seemed like a good excuse to post something vaguely, well, personal, rather than just fandom or fanfic related.

Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 16 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 16 people to be tagged. If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.

( No one actually tagged me, of course... )

I will now be taking questions from the studio audience. *snerk*

Love you guys. ♥

Look, I'm alive! ...or some reasonable facsimile thereof.
And, since I requested something so lovely from onetruesikorsky...

The first TEN people to comment in this post get to request a drabble of any pairing/character of their choosing from me. In return, they have to post this in their journal, regardless of their ability level. If you absolutely can't write, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to offer drawings or icons or something instead. Last bit ain't mandatory.

My personal request is that you please please limit your Transformers requests to TF:A or Bayverse, since everything else is a bit of a blur to me at the moment. ^^; Also, if you do NOT want pr0nz...you should probably specifically say so. Heh. #^^#

Also I am slow. Maybe that doesn't need saying.

EDIT:

1) TF:A Optimus/Rodimus - lady_oneiros Complete
2) Jareth/Puck - killerbeautiful Complete
3) Movieverse Ratchet/Ironhide, Mirage/Optimus (Seven Days) - mmouse15 Complete
4) Charlie/Wonka - piscaria
5) Optimus Prime/Starscream - nkfloofiepoof
6) Holmes/April - bzzinglikeneon
7) TF:A Megatron/Jetfire/Jetstorm - onetruesikorsky Complete
8) TF:A Wreck-Gar and Starscream - err, someone
9) TF:A Megatron/Optimus - rosieknight
10) Qui-Gon/Padme (I think?) - lheena
BONUS 11) Movieverse slave AU Optimus/Megatron - lady_oneiros

( Part I )

...This is really just a post to apologize for the tremendous amount of spam you are about to get from my journal if you have me friended. I'll be posting the first three parts of a six-part fanfic all at once, and I beg your patience with me.

I do have real news, though, and I'm long past time for an update. My friend and I have found an apartment in Castle Rock (some fifty miles or so north of the Springs), and we'll be moving in during the later part of November. ^_^ It's a lovely unit on the first floor, with a nice front porch and a view of the town and the rock that is its namesake. I've been living with my grandmother for a year and four months now, and while I love her dearly, she doesn't need me here anymore. I think she'll miss my cat more than she'll miss me. ^_~

I've been thinking that something in my life needs to change, and this seems like a great opportunity. The rent is more than manageable, for the very first time I can afford laundry hookups, and living with my friend is going to be a lot of fun. ^^ Wish me luck.

...Now for your irregularly scheduled dose of giant rob0ts.

Just a quick but cuddly Happy Birthday to bzzinglikeneon. Have a lovely day and eat cake until you explode. Heeee.

In all sincerity, all my love. ♥

Today has been a good day. I finally was able to get that broken filling repaired, my temp agency has found me a job for next week, and Leader-class TFA Megatron was on sale when I went to Target for hairspray. ♥

So I was just watching Blown Away, a movie I originally saw in the theater and really liked (and still really like, as it turns out). And now I have a powerful urge for music by U2, of which I have exactly...none. So I am begging of you, flist, to share your illicit mp3s musical bounty with me.

Does anyone out there have the basic classics? I will love you long time. And share my pie with you. =3

Well, about 95% of my flist seems to have gone to see Wanted last night. As part of the minority, I went to see Wall·E instead. It was lovely. And it was So. Damn. CUTE. That much cute should simply not be legal in any one movie. ♥♥♥ I think EVE is my new role model, hee. This is one of those rare animated-movie instances in which I truly hope they make a sequel. Possibly more than one.

I'm sure some people will see it as preachy, but the message is never outright stated, and (no spoilers, really) the ending left me with a truly pleasant feeling of hope for a brighter future. I can't say that about many movies I've seen in the last few years. ^_^

In the interest of providing actual content of some sort, netbug009 has incredibly cute Wall·E icons here and here and here. So much happy robot love. <3

Situation update!

The laptop is DOA. However, the hard disk is salvageable, so by some extraordinary miracle of the universe, I haven't lost any of my files. o__O; YAAAAY. My father offered me the loan of his old laptop for the time being, so I'll be transferring enough information to keep on working as (relatively) usual. Whew.

Sorry for jumping the gun, NK. >.< I should be back online either today or tomorrow, in some capacity.

As an addendum, on Friday the 16th I'll be leaving for ten days with my boyfriend in Seattle, during which time I'll be online much less than usual, and possibly only during the day. I'll return on the 27th. ^^

To all the people that usually expect to see me online on a regular basis:

I've had a small...catastrophe. It involved my parents' overexcited dog, a cup of coffee, and my laptop. I've done everything the experts suggest, but it seems to be dead. I'm going to see about getting a replacement tomorrow, but in the meantime, I won't be around. I haven't lost any of my original writing (thank God), but I did lose some uncompleted fanfiction and around five hundred words of the next part of Seven Days. Anything that matters is replaceable, of course, but I really don't look forward to finding all my music again. >.<

lady_oneiros, the episodes you should probably see (if you can find them) are "Overmatch" and "Remorse."

NK...merf. Do you save the logs of our RP sessions? I have lost exactly...all of them. T_T Flarn, I'm pretty sure you've saved all of ours, so when you return, hopefully you will take pity on me and email them to me. Sigh.

♥

I thought I'd try my hand at that song meme that's making its way around the LJ Transformers fandom:

Choose a subject and go - Writing: Put your entire music collection on shuffle, hit play, and write. Write for as long as each song plays and move on to a different writing when the song switches(even if it's mid-sentence). Go for ten songs(or five). If nothing comes, it still counts. If you're listening to a comedian, you can skip it.
