"I'm so ronery, so ronery, so ronery and sadry arone..."  
Damn you, Team America soundtrack!

Okay: not a whole lot going on in my quiet little world at the moment. Everyone's headed home for the holidays and isn't posting (I'm guessing that's where [livejournal.com profile] kay_cricketed vanished off to so suddenly? Waah, I miss everybody!). Which is a bit weird, but not exactly unexpected. Though it does make me feel like the Original Pathetic Geek. Which, if one looks at the personal shopping I accomplished the other day, is only exactly what I am, so I can't say it's not fitting.

(I can't stop listening to Kesenai Tsumi either, which adds to the impression.)

Anyway, I'm taking that as a clue I should get off my ass, out of London and do the same. I miss my family at the moment, absence making the heart grow fonder and all that. So I'm going to head home Wednesday.

Yeah. I would go home sooner (like, um, tomorrow), but my parents won't be back from their mini-break until Wednesday, so there's not really a lot of point my going home any earlier when there'd be nothing to do but sit round - which I can do in London - and none of my stuff would be there and I wouldn't have my nice black and white Weiss Kreuz clear poster to stare at. Though I made it not-clear by sticking paper behind it, because my walls are covered in red, blue and yellow blotches, none of which look good behind clear posters. And then I had problems with shadows making the guys' faces look weird, so I had to cut some more white paper up and stick it all just behind the images. It worked, though.

... oh, the little things I take pride in achieving.

Oh. Courtesy of my Friends of Friends list, I have found an amusing terror meme which I know I haven't done yet. It's another mp3 player meme, which makes me very happy because it means I won't actually have to think about anything in order to fill it out, so I'm going to do it and see what happens. Even if it does mean I have to stop listening to Kesenai Tsumi while I accomplish it...

Put your playlist on shuffle and fill it out with the first song that pops up.

Describe your first love: Amai Wana - Paint it, black, Hikaru Utada
What is your favourite thing to do: Prelude, Angel Sanctuary OST

Where will you honeymoon: hotarubi, Dir en grey
What is on your to-do list: Courage, Koyasu Takehito
Where would you rather be: Akuma to Tenshi no Kissu, Bubblegum Crisis Vocal Collection

... okay, that was stupid. Which is, admittedly, the fault of my taste in music and not the meme. Though (even if I did cheat a little) my mp3 player appears to be very fond of Hikaru Utada at the moment. I'm getting a bit worried about him.

But it made me laugh. Albeit silently. It IS two in the morning.

By the way, I found another terrible Weiss fanfiction. Terrible by its premise, and even worse when you try and read it. Because what else could a Weiss Kreuz/Harry Potter crossover be if it wasn't a hideous abortion of an idea that should never have seen the light of day?

You see? Nothing doing here at all, except for the fact I've just discovered one of the actresses in Memoirs of a Geisha (which I don't intend to see) is apparently named Youki Kudou, which had me doing a double-take for a moment there. But there'd be even less to do in Kent save more of the same. Shouldn't I have a social life or something like most other people of my age?

... why, why, why does hide's Honey Blade always make me think of Shinobu? OC Shinobu, that is?
 
 
Current Music: honey blade - hide
Current Mood: far too lively for two a.m.

Why do you go looking for those things? Wretched crossovers, I mean. You're going to go absolutely fucking crazy some day, you know, and when they lock you away you'll be muttering endlessly about Draco Malfoy and Farfarello. (Dude, they've both got white-ish hair, kinda?)

I found a Gundam Wing/Fullmetal Alchemist crossover lately, if it makes you feel any better (or worse, as it were). It was about the Duo/Ed slash. (Because dude, they both have like, braids and stuff, yeah?)

/shudder.

There are a lot of actors I see named 'Ken', and that always makes me twitch. In a pleasant way, of course.

Enjoy your holidays! Hooray for going home! Stay away from the horrible crossovers!

P.S. Social lives are overrated.

It is my duty. As owner/operatior of [livejournal.com profile] weiss_badfics, I owe it to the fandom to find these monstrosities and rip them to bits before anyone else can read them. It's like stress relief. Before I had the badfic journal, I'd just see the badness sin the archives and scream about it to myself, and feel very, very annoyed that the fandom could suck so hard and do nothing about it. At least this way I get to mete out some small measure of vengeance for my suffering.

... and I'm trying very, very hard not to think about Draco Malfoy and Farfarello IN THE SAME STORY. Come on, there's pain you just don't need. Why was Farfarello in Gryffindor? And am I the only person in the world who thinks Ken would kinda work in Slytherin, actually? He's certainly hellishly ambitious, but... guh... why am I thinking about this?

WHERE IS MY MIND BLEACH?

Ack. Yeah. I have FullMetal Alchemist defined as one of my user interests these days (along with Envy's skirt), and I clicked on it out of curiosity to see how many people it matched up with and there is an entire frackin' COMMUNITY devoted to Duo x Ed slash. What. The. FUCK? I'm not exactly that up on GWing, but I cannot see Duo x Ed at all. Ever. Not even if they met. Matching hairdos is not a good enough reason to pair them up!

... which reminds me, Weiss keeps getting crossed over with GWing, for some reason. Someone I used to know ran an RP about it. Where is the connection, for Hell's sakes? Weiss and the Gundam pilots... just... what the fuck. No.

Ken is a ridiculously common name. I think that petty much every other anime series out there has someone called Ken in, or someone whose name could be abbreviated to 'Ken' horribly easily. All of which only makes me think that yeesh, they really were going for making Ken the utterly average one, weren't they? Not that I mind, he does it so adorably. And twitching is, of course, fun.

I'm going home tomorrow. And I'm laying off crossovers until the new year at the very earliest. There's only so much stupid I can handle.

Actually, I don't really see Ken as a Slytherin. I mean, he'd go back and save somebody if he liked them even at risk to himself, right? And that's not a very Slytherin-esque thing to do. They'd leave them behind. The ends and the means and all of that.

Wait, why am I still thinking about this too?

And I back down from my previous statement. Justice should be dished out liberally, and if you're finding and reading the crap anyway you might as well set it on fire like it deserves!

Ooooh, Envy's skirt! (I might have to add that to my interests, too. It's so fantastic!)

And no, DuoxEd does not work at all. No matter what planet you're from or how much you like boys in braids. -rolls eyes- Oh, the limitless injustice! (And when you get around to watching Getbackers, you may want to watch out for the people who like the EdxHimiko. As if that makes any more sense than any other wacko crossover crap that's out there. Maybe it's a joke. I hope it's a joke.) And I have no idea how Weiss Kreuz gets crossed with Gundam Wing. They have nothing in common, as far as I can see, except the pretty boys and the easy slash. I guess that's enough for some. /shrug. I try not to think about it too much... Although I have found a whole whole lot of Gundam Wing/Sailor Moon, but I suspect that's more of an anythingwithboys/Sailor Moon fixation that will probably not go away any time soon. Gag me with a pitchfork.

Anyway, enjoy your holidays! Good luck keeping them stupid-free! hehe.

Everyone gets so giddy in the most unholy hours of the day. I think it's mostly the Christmas spirit possessing everyone else.

I know when you read this, it'd be after the holidays - It makes me so miffed that I only got to catch up now. But hey, that's how it is.

Happy holidays, dear. I'm glad you'll be with your family again. :)

I'm alive! *waves tiredly* I've been a combination of really busy and fairly sick, so it's been a bit... waaah, I missed lj so much.

*clings* ♥

Have a great holiday! MERRY CHRISTMAS! :D :D And you need to email me an addy to send your present and card with shiny stuff! Yaaaay!

Love that meme. Will do it as soon as possible.

... Weiss/HP? *blank*

Oh God. The travesty.

Yay! Kay is alive!



Is all I can say. *clings back* I miss your brand of random when you're not there, you know. My friends list pines. And so do I, so do I. It's always good to know you didn't get attacked by a rampaging herd of elk or abducted by aliens or anything else equally untoward. And I will email you an address asap, but it may have to wait until I get back to London, where I am not at present, because my parents don't like me giving out their address and as I'm not in London I wouldn't be able to pick up anything that got sent me anyway... CURSES!

That meme is fantastic. I love mp3 player memes and there aren't enough of them. I perhaps should make one and see what happens, and of course I am curious to see what yours might tell you...

... and yes, a travesty it was. It pained me to the depths of my soul, not least of which because helf the reviewers were only interested in bitching about which Hogwarts Houses they thought the Weiss boys should have been sorted into and ohmygodargh. *sporks out own eyes*. You couldn't make it up. I hope you didn't read the report, badness like that could unbalance the very fabric of the universe, never mind upset fangirl minds.

I've read the fic, and I STILL don't understand how it could possibly be made to work. Ugh. My brain.
