"Literature is a luxury; fiction is a necessity"

Today, I saw a PostSecret that said:

"My goal in life is to have crow's feet and deep laugh lines when I'm old."

I think that's absolutely beautiful, and I want that to be my goal, too.

When I can look in the mirror and see smiles, laughs and good times tucked into the lines and creases of my face, I will be able to go with a deep sense of satisfaction in the knowledge that I have at least had fun.

Title:Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice
Author: a_bemused_muse
Pairing: Santana/Brittany
Rating: PG-13
Summary: When Brittany comes home, she assembles the ingredients for cupcakes and stares blankly at them until remembering the recipe tucked in her backpack. She carefully reads it, but nothing makes sense. Besides, what the hell do they mean, 'cream butter and sugar'?

( Brittany tastes like surprise, sunshine on a spring day, laughter, and vanilla chap stick, all tinged with the light undertone of Hershey's baking cocoa powder.... )

Summary: "I need you to take a look at the, um, dishwasher. I think I broke it," she clarifies, gesturing helplessly.
( Arizona, fixing bones and repairing dishwashers is not the same thing.... )

Dearest Flist, I am in need of a beta who is willing to look over a few drabbles of different pairings.

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, contains one or two Callie/Arizona fics, a George character sketch, and a Mark/Lexie piece.

If you're interested at all, please let me know! It'll be super appreciated and utterly fabulous. :)

Thanks!!

And now, for your consideration, an obscenely cute cat gif :3

Oneword.com Don't ask questions- JUST GO HERE. YOU MUST!

Stupid writer's block,
You are most unwelcome here.
Please GTFO.

La Guitarra

Her strings lie quite still-
She stands dormant in my room,
A hushed reminder

I promised myself:
'After finals, more practice!'
The vow is broken!

But, I'll mend it now.
I'll call my teacher for a
Lesson. Let's do this!

._._._._.

Dear California-
One's marriage is a right, no
Matter the union

'They're saying the tyranny of the majority is more important than a civil right for all.'-George Takei

Today is the day I fail take the AP test.


Wish me luck? :X

Well, hot damn. I wish I could do that.

I have all of my fics and pieces that have been sitting for a really long time and GUESS WHAT, LIFE? I HAVEN'T HAD TIME TO EDIT THEM BECAUSE YOU'RE BEING STUPID.

CEASE WITH YOUR BULLSHIT.

I AM DONE WITH IT.

/caps lock

Christ. Being snowed under with homework, projects, and social crap is no fun. I have three stories that need to be refined and edited, but nooooo, Life is being a total asshole. *glares*

*points at Life*

You.

Yeah, you.

Quit being a douche. I want- no I need time to write. Seriously. This is ridiculous.

Sophie. Or Sophia.

Of course, I like my name right now- I don't really know anymore Elaines that go to my school and I'd like to make the standard claim that I'm oh so unique :D

Then again, according to this, I'm apparently the lover of Lancelot.

( Considering anything over George would be an improvement in their eyes, that's not saying much... )

(Part two will be on its way shortly. If life isn't a jerk, that is.)

Sooo whenever I'm in a negative mood and sleeping it off is not an option, I write. :)

I need six things as prompts for six fanfics. They can be pretty much anything, but don't make them words that are impossible to write a fanfic around. xD

Nouns are good. So are simple verbs.

So, uh. Go? :) [Please]

Edit: Please specify pairing, if you have a certain preference, and I'll do my best. Thank you!!

This is my motto:
'When it doubt, haiku it out'
It works ev'ry time

My hands weave concerts,
Symphonies that no-one can hear.
Headphones see to that.

Dark eyes are wide.
'I can see through space and time!'
Insomnia SUCKS.

My feet are asleep.
Tingles race through sluggish nerves.
This is ironic xDD

Shadows rule my room
Christmas lights glow softly on.
No inspiration.

Behind my closed door:
'Oh, oh, dancin' with myself!'
Billy Idol= love

Song binging again.
'Fuck You', says Lily Allen.
True enough, I think.

Nataliedee rocks.
A strawberry that says 'YES'
God, I love that site.

An unwelcome guest;
Uncertainty dines within.
Damn- which one is it?

Starting to shatter;
Miles away from comfort,
Who the hell am I?

Who am I, indeed.
That's a question I can't answer.
One step at a time...

Losing a sneeze sucks;
It lights fires in my nose.
Why does it happen?!

Summary: A 100 year old wine bottle, a lemon scrub cap, a teenaged note in a locker and an argument over people doing the McNasty.
AN: Please note that I am sooooo not a doctor. Major props and kudos goes to lizadizzle for her medical help on this one. Thank you :)


( How could I ever think Calliope Torres was a newborn?..... )

Your face glows brightly,
Always ready for my touch....
It's just my iPod!

Rockabye Baby;
They are such sublime tributes.
I adore them so.

Their problems and mine-
Collide mercilessly. Mine?
Insignificant. :/

One of my favorites,
I'll watch it eternally-
The Sound of Music.

Wikipedia-
It makes me procrastinate.
But, I do not mind. :)

You Belong in the Silent Generation

You fit in best with people born between 1925 and 1942. You are a person of high values and character. Family, your country, loyalty, and hard work all important to you. You are willing to do what's right, even when it's difficult.

What, seriously?

My life's passion- duh!
To compose witty haikus-
That seem to fall flat xD
