So I ended up writing something marginally clinically insane yesterday. Someone posted this comment to the lotrmpreg mailing list:
>>>Is there a story where Saruman or Sauron would be the "fathers" of Legolasī child? I think that it would be a wonderful angsty story :)
I just couldn't resist. So this is what my head came up with:
Legolas stands in as surrogate flesh body father for the poor disembodied eyeball? There are limits to what power even a ring can provide, after all. The eyes of Sauron, the voice of Saruman, the butt of Legolas... Oooooh... somebody write the fic just so I can daydream about the offspring when he comes of age.
Saruman to Sauron: "Just because you can't take physical form does not get you out of diaper duty!"
And I'd like to see anyone sneaking out after dark with those parents.
Legolas: "And where do you think you've been?"
Annoying Teen: "Oh. Um. I just went out to practise my night vision archery."
(Sauron arches 10 ft mystical eyebrow)
(Legolas and Saruman fold arms and glare)
Sauron: "I see..... everything.... all of it...."
(Annoying Teen edges. Looks at the corporeal parents sceptically yet with last ditch hope in eyes)
Annoying Teen: "You're going to take the word of an evil Lord over that of your sweet faced child?"
(Sauron sniffles)
Saruman: "That's your father you're talking about, and you will show more respect."
Legolas: "And besides, we saw it all on the palantir."
(Annoying Teen scowls at fascinating spot inch up Saruman's staff)
Sauron: "So no more running about Mount Doom with any hobbits, ok?"
Legolas: "They spend far too much time smoking and drinking. It's not healthy. If I catch you smoking one more time..."
Annoying Teen (pleadingly): "But I swear, I didn't mean to, it's hard having various parts of my anatomy wreathed in flame, it's impossible to control, I swear, it was all a big accident... I swear... I'm sorry, I'm sorry...."
(Descends into snivelling mound)
(Legolas leaves to fetch tissues, Saruman hugs Annoying Teen soothingly, Sauron just glares at Saruman to sound of snotty whimpering)
Saruman: "What?"
Sauron: "I told you I should have quit work after he was born, but no, you had to bring up politics...."
Ok, I really didn't mean that response to go on for so long. But I'm going to stop this mini-rant right here before I start telling you the inspirational theory that Gollum was really the Annoying Teen. There's a cunning plot twist, lots of angst, and possibly a dolphin. Someone must have forgotten to give me my meds that morning.
I've been meaning to write some raptures about The Art of the LotR movies. I went and bought myself the books on wednesday. But it'll have to wait, because it's going to be a big-un, and I think I might actually need basic brain neurone activity to wax lyrical to quite the extent that I would like. Gack, 6 hours sleep in the last 63 hours. I think I might be turning into some narcophobic masochist or something.

Back from the bothering and bewildering of relatives. Love them all (well most of them) to pieces, but bloody tiring. And another thing I hate. Public Speaking. There's just too many ways in which it's one of the worst things the world ever came up with. Closely followed by...
Clever Art. Lord save us from clever art. Especially when it's clever art that's also supposed to be furniture. I keep getting called away to hold bits of a table so my parents can put it together the wrong way around. Honestly, this was not a cheap table. In fact, I don't think it would be unjustified to say it was fucking expensive. So could they have paid out that little bit extra to have someone else put it together? Oh no. Where would be the fun in that? We have to have the unpleasant arguements and the waving of the instructions and the shouting over the football.... and Ohmigod, David Beckham's wearing an alice band. Now I know I'm a bit behind, but... that definitely qualifies as Scary.
Oh, and that fic I mentioned earlier: in more.
More...

I did some work today. Oh yup I did, I did. But I really hate gcalc. It keeps bloody crashing.
In the midst of tidying last night (and throwing a tantrum) I found a ficlet I wrote over a year ago to get me points at make me eternal, a buffy competition place. I stopped bothering over there in the beginning stages of game 4, but this is one of the pieces I wrote for game 3. It was rather hilarious to type up actually, as I obviously had only one sheet of paper on me when I was writing it. Which had already been used as rough for some math homework. So there were no paragraphs, and writing in the margin, and writing in funny directions, and rotation of the paper, and tiny lettering... and I couldn't read that much of it. So it has been completely re-edited and a lot of it is in fact completely new. So posted in More is ANITLOY - A Night In The Life Of You (as a vampire). The one I actually found was the sequel, ADITLOY - A Day In The Life Of You (as a vampire), but it makes sense to post this one first. I'll give you ADITLOY sometime later this week.

I Am
Which tarot card are you?
Isn't that nice and cheerful? Well, yeah, I thought so too. Really brightened up my day. Lots of positive energy.
Actually, my day hasn't been that bad. Went to see TTT again as planned. Ohmigod, I love that movie. Just makes me sigh and smile. How wrong can life be when I can sit down and see that kind of world? Even if it isn't real, I can make it real in my head. I did of course cry. Again. Twice. When Arwen gets left on her own, and when Haldir dies. I managed not to cry at Gollum this time. I'm such a sap.
So the day was going rather well. But then I had to come home and start work tidying the work room. I hate tidying. Especially when there's paper involved, and there's nearly always paper involved. Your skin gets all dried and icky with muck, and then you get little paper cuts, and then your skin's so dry from all the paper that it sort of splits around the paper cuts, and then you have to have big steamy shower to have any chance of feeling clean again. But that's going to have to wait until tomorrow morning, damnit.
And there are principles involved as well. The whole ethos of tidying is such bullshit. It's like society is so obsessed with making people give off the impression that they're in control of their lives. When, more often than not, that's complete and utter crap. It's like, Oh, Yeah, I've tidied everything away, I'm organised, I am aware of each of my posessions, I know exactly where everything is, and there is a place for each thing in my life. I know exactly where everything fits into my life, I know exactly what I need and how to find it. I know exactly where my life is going, I know exactly what is going on in it at this moment. Bullshit. I hate society's lies.
And the whole obsession with possession. Afluent western society just has too many posessions for each person. Yeah, whatever. I'm such a lame rebel, I'm all words.

Another quiz:
You have a dominant kiss- you take charge and make sure your partner can feel it! Done artfully, it can be very satisfactory if he/she is into you playing the dominant role MEORW!
What kind of kiss are you?

So I'm really rather pissed off at the moment. I was all geared up to go see it today. As according to various sites it came out March 27th. Bastards. That would be in the US. We have to wait until september. Am especially annoyed as I downloaded a more extended version of the trailer, and it looked really good. Bastards. So I'm going to go see TTT again tomorrow. So no doubt I'll be grinning stupidly for the rest of the week. :) And I need to buy myself a new calculator... *shudder*.... concept... actually leaving the house....
The other thing I forgot to tell y'all about: my forums. Seeing as wc were having some downtime, these emergency forums ended up being provided by moi. Was a bit disconcerting, felt like responsibility and authority for a little bit there, but that's all gone now. And nobody really used them anyway, so they're just there to play with, and mainly to break.
But today is a Good Day, if only for the fic updates.

Ok, so how much am I in complete adoration of Hugo Weaving? Just a little too much methinks. Have finally got my hands on the new matrix trailer via comingsoon.net and some other site that that place links too. Something seems to be wrong with my Quicktime that it doesn't want to fix, so I have no sound... but I'm more than happy to just watch. Mmmmmm....
Well to be honest, I'm on a bit of a download crusade. Just watched the Pirates of the Caribbean trailer, which I was pleasantly surprised by. Just because, well, the name and general theme isn't all that promising. But it looks good. I know it's just a trailer, but it raised a smile, the lines sounded good, and there was a certain yummy Orlando element to it all. I'll probaby go see it, if only for that particular yum factor. Website's shait though. All big graphics and pop ups. Which I do of course have disabled, so I'm sneaking around the place guessing the file structure they use and typing it in the address bar.
Also grabbed the Ned Kelly trailer. Which was far less interesting, all smoky lettering and big music. Nothing of interest whatsoever. But I think I might try to get to see it this weekend, mainly because I haven't left the house in over a week, and that's possibly not a good thing. Actually, I walked to the driveway gate to post a letter at the weekend. Yay me.
Other site I'm busy milking is this piece of goodness Elves Rule. Just a few animated gifs of Legolas to enjoy. I got kind of sidetracked for a while there, they can be rather mesmerising. They just repeat over and over and over and... And I love them very much.
I also love the look on people's face when they watch Angel 3.1 - Heartthrob for the first time.

Quiz time:
Hail! You are Finrod Felagund! You traveled with your kin to Middle Earth even though your father turned back. Once there, you established the hidden Realm of Nargothrond which became the largest kingdom and the most hated by Morgoth. You then aided Beren on his quest and died saving him. After your fall, Nargothrond endured under the rule of your brother, Orodreth.
What Silmarillion character are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
You are Fingolfin. You're a kind, smart, shrewd elf who tends to go silent when he's mad. You also follow your crazed half-brother who seriously needs some tranquilizers into Middle-Earth. There you fight a demon and get stepped on. Ouch, tough luck.
What Silmarillion Elf Are You?

Maedros-You've gone through a lot and you'll probably go through a lot more. Life is not easy and your crazy immediate family is not supportive. Sometimes it's okay to break a promise
Which Silmarillion Character(Male) Are You?

You are golden-haired Galadriel, the only woman to play a prominent role in the revolt of the Noldor. Because of your complicity with the Kinslaying, the path to Aman was closed to you by order of the Valar. Possessor of Nenya, the Ring of Adamant, you married Celeborn and together founded the Kingdom of Lorien in Middle-earth. After the War of the Ring you were finally permitted to return to Valinor
with the Last Riding of the Keepers of the Rings.
Which Elf chick are you from Tolkien's Quenta Silmarillion?
brought to you by Quizilla
Well wasn't that fun. What do you think we can conclude from this? Well, they all say it, I've got fucking insano family. Poor me. Like I really needed a quiz to tell me that. And I guess I should give the credit, I got the links via CC who got them via Alighiera.
Apparently I'm supposed to get off the computer. I've been reading fic pretty much non-stop for several days now, resting only for sleep and meals. Most of which I've been skipping due to the diet. -Apparently- this can't be good for my eyes. Pfffft.

I'm back. I descended into panic/breakdown mode for a while, but now I'm just back to obsessively living of fanfic. I also sort of thought I might finally get this site sorted out, and shifted to finally be properly connected to deathnote but it looks like that's going to take a little longer than I thought, as Carl is shifting to a new server etc etc, and I no longer have the ftp password. But offline I now have the navigation being produced by php so I don't have to go through and fix each page when I want to change something. So yay me.
So I'm now on easter holidays, thank god, and the weather is absolutely gorgeous. And I'm wearing a skirt and poncho and walking around barefoot the whole time. Oh this is the life. Shame about not being allowed to eat, damn the diet. I finally booked my B&B for End of Days in blackpool. And the booze is piling up in the garage in preparation for the birthday party. I'm feeling a sense of acheivement.
Well, there's a new episode up at bagenders, just as hilarious as it's always been, I just wish they'd make more of the Aragorn/Legolas bond, cos I think that relationship is just classic. Oh, andScribe has finally started back on 4th age fic, A Heart Of Darkness.
And I had a really creepy gay spiderman gif to share with you all, but I can't be bothered to upload it. Just... well it was funny.

ER. Last night. Oh. My. God. Georgia told me there was a thing with an arm. And ohmigod. Yes. An Arm. Or the lack of an arm. Garrrrgggh! It was awful. Little innocent spoiler free me sitting watching and then.... garrrrgh. I can't believe they did that to him. One of my favourite characters and... Really rather traumatic, I thought they were killing him off! Deeply deeply upsetting, I don't want Romano to be all depressed, he's funny and brilliant when he's being pissed off, but only in an upbeat way. Anyway, I love this show. But I really do have to point out that as far as I'm aware there aren't actually any GNER trains that go to Heathrow.
And here's another quiz I did. Well yeah I cheated. Of course. But it would be boring if I just had Legolas all on his lonesome on a graphic. Not exactly complaining about letting him have this specific company and having an extra face to drool at. Plus it's funnier than all the others.
- Which Legolas are You? -
Oh, and I just had to point out this link: the legolas braid. Not that I'm obsessed or anything. Arggh, I can't help approving. I'm so sad. Need to find something worthwhile to do with life. And something worthwhile to drool over. I mean, obviously Legolas is exponentially worth drooling over. But now I'm just drooling over the hairstyle. *hangs head in shame* I'm doomed. Maybe I should just accept my fate. *evil grin* Oh yes, I should definitely accept my fate, is far more fun. Mwahahaha. Mmmmmmm..... Well that lasted long.
And... another link. (I'll stop soon I promise)
Yes. That's it. I'm done.
