Hiiii, I'm back, you guys. :3 ( I shopped like my life depended on it and spent like crazy and now I have no moneys left but it was pretty awesome over all. )

2008 was a good year, over all. Not magnificent, and actually it was sort of exhausting, but I can't really complain. Now, the stats:

( The year in books, movies, fic and original fiction. )

And now I shall stop because I've been writing this for the past like, two hours and it's probably long enough, lol. So, really, HAPPY 2009! may it bring joy and adventure and love and crazy times to all of you lovely people. ♥ ♥ ♥

As always, it was Twilight that brought all of today's lulz. HEEE. Jacob was casted and man, is that lousy casting. BUT WHATEVER. That movie will seriously make me so happy. I WILL LAUGH AND LAUGH AND LAUGH AND I'LL PROBABLY DIE FROM LAUGHING SO MUCH BUT WHO CARES. YAAAY. Can't wait for this abominance. :)

And THEN I found out there was a tw_secret. OH, THE LULZ. I already love fandomsecrets for the sheer idiocity and not-fun-on-purpose stuff posted there, but this? This is even BETTER.

Other than that my day was okay but nothing big, meh. I still feel the itch to write, dunno why. I'll see what I can do tomorrow.

I am an episode behind on Torchwood and two on Ashes to Ashes. Um. Oops? I blame the lack of Martha.

Also! There was original fic yesterday, of the artsy fartsy persuassion. Which includes weird tattoos and pretentious people, lol.

( You wanna know what we do in Graphic Expression V class, which is supposed to be acrylic all semester long? )

I'm pretty sure the supernaturalfic mods must hate me by now. Last time I posted there I messed up the subject line, and today and apparently hit the post button twice, lol. XD

My friend has finally finished Deathly Hallows and we fangirled in loud loud voices and talked about whose deaths made us cry the most and it was, no joke, sort of fantastic. AH, POTTER. YOU SHALL ALWAYS BE ONE OF THE GREATEST ERAS OF MY LIFE.

Also, I just posted the Large Fic of Doom I've been blabbing about for ages! A Thousand Shades of Red, in which Sam is growing up and sexing up Dean while at it. :3

So my camera's battery died out and I couldn't take any pictures from my costume. ;___; It looked quite cute, though. And the party was all right, I guess, even if it wasn't all that amazing. *shrug*

I still haven't seen either Heroes or SPN this week. Um. *runs for cover* I could've watched them a while ago, but I was supposedly doing homework and yet for the life of me I can't do anything to the stupid chocolate sticker I'm supposed to design. *cries*

In similar news, though, I went to the mixup yesterday and there they were, both of Heroes and SPN's box sets looking all pretty and enticing. Right now, I want to get Heroes the most, so I'll probably just get SPN for christmas. That's not the most exciting, though! Doctor Who's series one was there! As far as I knew, DW wasn't sold on Mexico! It's only season one, though, AND it's expensive as fuck (1400 pesos, 140 dlls... *cries some more*), so I don't know if I'll get it. If it were season three, though... I'd be begging people to lend me money right now, lol.

I ended up only getting Bajofondo Tango Club's new album: Mar Dulce. Oh, it's so good! I was also really surprised at how beautiful their song with Gustavo Cerati was. *hums happily*

Oh yeah, and there was fic yesterday: Hysteria, Life on Mars. I'm absurdly fond of this one, lol.

So, remix authors have been reveiled and wee, das_kabinett remixed Companionship Is You (Harry/Ron) and did an amazing work! That story always bothered me because it was pretty much plotless, but she managed to give it a wonderful backstory and THERE'S HARRY AND RON BEING COPS SUPER AURORS THAT WATCH CSI. The story ended up as pure win, and making complete sense. Go read it! Companionship Is You (The Stealing Is A Crime Remix)

I wrote a remix of ishafel's Vigil, which was hard, because the story was quite rounded up already. In the end, though, I think I ended up with a strong Sam voice, and I do love to write children, so that's good. :) Weirdly enough, I started respecting a lot the original author's style, but near the end it becomes a very me story, i.e. lots and lots of one-liners *g* I'll repost it in here tomorrow, but here's a link, for now: Vigil (The Waiting in the Dark Remix).

Wow, you guys deserve a prize if you've made it all the way here o_O So, the runway for the costume design I entered was on Friday and OMG I'M SO SHOCKED WE DIDN'T WIN. [/sarcasm] The dress didn't end up looking that bad, not really, but... Anita's the only in the group that can sew, so she did whatever she wanted with the dress and it ended up SPARKLY. Yes, in all caps and bolded. Girl diggs her glitter, I guess. The rest of the team? Not so much. So bah. The runway itself was pretty fun and we laughed a lot and there were some seriously kick ass costumes - one of which was a girl dressed up as a fireman, with only the hose being the entire dress. Yeah, imagine the wolf-whistling XDD And the guy I like showed up, which was nice. :)) I'm just glad it's over, truth to be told.

Tomorrow, I'll bitch about Superman's lameness. Why yes, I know you're all excited about it. *g*

Had the strangest conversation ever about sex with my cousins today. Strange because, well, their ages are: two 13 year old girls, 15, 17 and a 16 year old boy, and... well. They're LITTLE! o_O Pretty funny, though. XD

Also, I missed Remus' birthday. I should be ashamed of myself. *slaps hand*

My brother and I plotted this cracked up video game yesterday. o_O He was thinking of a cheap Halo rip-off but then I got carried away and started thinking about an underground tunnel web beneath the San Juan de Dios market that people used to use to smuggle pirate CDs and the like and that they start using as an army refuge after the aliens come and attack the earth. It was mighty fun. XD

I guess I'm to late to flail about Heroes?

( Heroes 1x13 - Fix It )

So, anyone has Claire/Peter recs they'd like to share with me? *puppy eyes* I really dig Heroes fic in general but all I can find is a big pile of crap in shippy comms. *sigh*

January writing round-up!

Dejen Que Las Dunas Lo Entierren, Original, PG.
Post apocalypse universe, in which the world has turned into a giant desert and the only culture remaining is the Arab one, living in Europe because the heat's unbearable down south. I really was going to translate this, but I was kinda sick of it after days of not thinking of anything else. What d' you think guys, want me to finish the translation?

Keep Walking (Nothing To See Here), Supernatural, gen, PG-13.
The world ends on Tuesday the thirteenth, as Dean is trying to choose between Lays and Doritos in a run-down convenience store. I kinda really like this one. Especially the zombies. Zombieeeees.

Nameless, original, boyslash, R.
He likes to get you to pant for him, to shut your eyes because looking at him is too much when he's talking like that, nose brushing your eyelids. he likes to kiss you by the open window, smirking at random people walking past it.


UGH, ONLY THREE, SO LAME. I don't know why I've been having so much trouble to write as of lately. I'm writing longer stuff, sure, but last January? I wrote TWENTY-ONE fics, 17 of them being a large, plotty series. *stabs muse* And right now I'm in that mood again, when I'm ACHING to write and yet I don't feel like writing what I should be writing. ARGH. It's so frustrating.

Dad, Memo and me all sneaked out today to go get my mom gifts, and then, we promptly ruined the surprise when we had to call her to ask for her ring size. *HEADDESK* At least my gift is still a surprise, though. And Memo doesn't know he's getting something from me either.

My iPod's break down yesterday kinda ruined my evening, since we went downtown to see a little spectacle of dancing fountains (which kinda look tiiiny after seeing the Bellagio's fountains, but there you go), and went to have dinner at a fancy restaurant, but all I could think was "OMG WHAT IF THE IPOD DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE, NOOOES, MY SAMMY!!" *sigh*

Other than that, I finished reading Travesuras de la Niña Mala (Mischiefs of the Bad Girl) by Mario Vargas Llosa the other day, and oooh, it was so good! It's so well written than I didn't really acknowledged the 1st person POV until I was like, 100 pages into it. A lovely, intriguing story - A man forever in love with la Niña Mala, this free spirit that always has a new name and identiy everytime he sees her. I really recomend this one. And how sad it's that this one, Julio Cortazar's End Game and the translation of The Perfume are the only books in Spanish I've read in months?

Mmm, I really, really wanted to write SPN fic this week, but my muse seems to be out of town (she seems to be traveling through Europe, in the middle of a deep, passionate affair with pink_faerie81's muse, wearing a tie and joining the gypsies), I and just had to finish Let Me Take A Taste Right Off Your Lips before that story gave me an aneurism, or something, ugh. But now that that's done... zip, nada from my muse. *sigh* I do seem to be in the mood for crack, though, so, the first comment in this post with an SPN prompt gets a drabble. *nods*

Now, I'm going to Monterrey and then the US next week, and it's a 10 hour drive to Monterrey and 3 more to the border, so, please, my dear flist, could you rec me some music? I'm kinda tired of all of mine. I usually like alternative and indie rock, but, I'm open to new things.

Happy Day of the Dead!! I'm going to have hot chocolate and Death Bread for dinner, omg YUMMY (this is my favorite kind of bread in the whole wide world), and if things go right, I might go to the spookiest local cemetery tonight. *bounces in excitement*

Today's also tokyoghoststory's birthday!! Go to her journal and spam her with weird photos!

Now, I have a preposition for you guys. I have this fantastic title, but no story attached to it: Let Me Take A Taste Right Off Your Lips. It was supposed to be the title for my latest SPN fic, but it didn't fit, but I really, really like it, and want to write something for it.

So I'm having a contest! You guys'll comment with what you think the fic should be about, be it crack, humour, angst, darkfic, your choice; and I'll pick the coolest, craziest one and write it as full-fledged fic (so that's, uh, 1300+ words). Please, make me happy and participate, pimp it, whatever. Fandoms would preferably be Supernatural and Doctor Who (and what the hell, Heroes), but if you're, you know, moonix or someone equally cool, I'll accept HP. GO, GO, GO!

I posted fic earlier today, And That Ashen Taste on My Mouth. *pimps herself shamelessly*

( The Fanfic Writers Meme )

And well, since I'm already doing this, another meme: Ask me anything you want about my fic, how did it end, why did the character do that, why is there so little sex, your choice.

Went to see Lady in the Water today. I liked it a lot, even with all the bad reviews I've been hearing, but I'm a sucker for fairy tales so that's not a suprise. It could have been better, yes, but I really liked the characters, they were all unique in their own ways.

It's back to school tomorrow, what a drag! I have class at 7, so I have to wake up at 5:30, and oh, how does my heart weeps at this ;-;
