Beautiful girl, bless your heart... I got a disease.

I first heard this song via a Clex+Desiree vid. Totally fell in love with it.

Sad thing is, so few relationships actually work with the song. Clark/Lex/Desiree, yes, but someone tried to do Buffy/Spike to it which was just... ugly. First off, it really is the kind of vid that need a triangle. Secondly, the girl has to be evil or off. At least in my head. So, I was utterly thrilled when I saw that there was a Angel/Cordy/Connor vid to it. And then disappointed. Luckily, there was a second vid with those three... which also disappointed me, though it was better. To clarify, neither vid is bad, they just aren't... perfect (especially the second one, which comes so close, only it isn't tight enough and meh). I'm demanding (well, I can be. sometimes). It's just that I can mentally picture the perfect footage and timing and... I really wish I could make vids.

Can't explain why I like the song so much, since I'm usually not a big fan of "Evil Woman" stuff, but... hell, it has a killer sound and I just like it. (I also liked the recent cover of Don't Fear the Reaper that was played on Smallville, so milage may vary.) And I can just picture the perfect Angel/Cordy/Connor vid to it. That's the frustrating part: having this perfect vid in my head and not being able to do anything about it.

This is just happening more and more frequently. Eventually, I just know that I'm going to suck it up and get myself some vidding software. After I get a job, if that ever happens. Maybe I can ask for it for my birthday. My 21st. That's important, what with the legally being able to drink (hah! not that my underageness stopped any of my relatives from telling me to at least just try it... man, my family is weird).

My new icon, made by krabbypatty.

She's so pretty.

And now my only Buffy icon is the half-blind Xander. Hmm. I wonder what that means.
( In fact, let's do an icon rundown )

Since I'm not getting to sleep:

I'm going to talk some more about Angel.

due South drabble

Again, too late to be posted in the challenge postings. The challenge was to have someone(s) watching someone(s) else. The other person(s) can or can't know he/she/they are being watched. And this would be my first due South fic ever. Exactly 100 words.

Black and Gold

I caught this morning morning's minion...

Though he might not have believed it anymore, she does have a moral compass. She knows right from wrong.

She just doesn't care. Not when it comes to passion or survival.

Or pride.

Before this moment, she'd have said that Ben would never forget her. She'd never considered any other possibility.

But there were candles in window and they weren't for her.

Victoria edged closer to the window, absently mouthing the familiar words.

Fall, gall themselves, and gash gold-vermillion.

There were candles in the window and Ben wasn't alone.

That had to be fixed.

And she pimps:

The Boyband 100 list boybanddrabbles.

A theme every Thursday night, you have until Friday at midnight to write 100 words.

Thanks to nemoinis (*kisses nemo*) for suggesting converting the group.

Website talk:

So, I'm currently in the process of completely revamping the Boyband Drabbles site so that from now on I can organize by challenge only. In other words, right now the site is totally fucked up.

All the older drabbles will still be organized by author, pairing, and character, but the new ones are going to be different. Because cross-referencing each drabble, each 100 word story, sometimes as much as 6 or 7 times gets exhausting.

Also, I'm switching to the same type of script I have on my personal page because it's prettier. I may change the color, though. We'll see.

After I do this, I'm going to need to go through and add all the drabbles up to today and cross-reference them.

Then I'll be fine until tomorrow, when I'm planning on archiving the first week's challenge responses.

It's tired and a bit boring at times, but it's worth it.

And I have some great news that I'm not talking about until it's a certainty and not a possibility (high possibility, mind, but not a certainty yet).
