hogwarts gone wild

LJ can screw. I've decided that tonight will be made of win, for the following reasons:

01. I just decorated my parents' Christmas tree. With hand-sewn angels and fragile glass balls that date back to my childhood, and I'm so sniffly and overwhelmed with warm nostalgia that I'm about ready to believe in Santa Claus again.

[ETA:] Now with pictures!

( behold the tree in all its glory. these images are sorely lacking in adult content )

02. The Lakers are playing. They are losing presently, but I'm not going to dwell on that bit.

03. There will be merry_smutmas and smutty_claus before I go to sleep.

[ETA:] merry_smutmas is a go! I'll take smoking hot Harry/Remus/Sirius art for $500, Alex!

NOT ON, BOYS.2

This is an arse-raping of epic proportions. I cannot believe you are letting the UTAH FUCKING JAZZ maintain a twenty-point lead.

Bad show, boys. Very bad show.

*stern*

While everyone was watching the election coverage, I was watching basketball.

The Nuggets got *worked*.

The hottness that is Chris Mihm had 23 points. I may be forced to have his babies.

And, alas, Sasha Vujacic did not play. Rudy and I are about to fight.

Lots of fic, today. Way more than a sane person should read in a day. You have been warned.

Right. So I am rumored to be the slash!zombie your mother warned you about, and most of the time, its mostly true.

Remus/Hermione is my secret crack I don't talk about I like a little Remus/Hermione now and then. And this one is good. Very, very good. Hooray for twisted faerie-tales and Remus' dirty mouth.

I thought hurrying to code this post so I don't miss a Lakers game is tough-- trying to code it *while watching* a Lakers game is something else, entirely.

And, to the Washington Wizards-- I solemnly swear it sucks to be you.

Rudy, you did not play my boyfriend Sasha Vujacic tonight^[2]. Rudy, are you angry with me? You didn't take that crack dorkohead made about you chewing your gum on the floor like a cow to heart, did you? You are not punishing me for my sister's flippant mouth, are you?

Rudy?

Bueller?

J

^[1] D00d. Tarz. I'm sorry.
^[2] I have discovered, in the absence of Vulacic, that Chris Mihm is not too hard on the eyes.

As I have said to dorkohead thousands of times, the radio should not play that Offspring song about capping people on the freeway when I am stuck in traffic on the 101.

Also, for some reason, I am confused and disoriented, right now. Just so you know. All apologies.

Mostly drabbles today, folks. Drabbles, and discussion.

The Participant List for the Secret Sirry Santa is up on sirry_slash. Assignments will be out shortly.

So last night, by boys beat the Phoenix Suns 111-102. And, because the basketball Gods love me, they are playing Seattle, tonight. I am now going to write graveyard pr0n, while watching the Lakers kick some Supersonic arse.


^[1] Point of note, frotting_goodhp does not take het. This is not a situation I particularly have an opinion about, but I figured I would warn, since there is already discussion about it, a discussion that fandom_wank is all over like white on rice^[3].
^[2] Not only did tanizard pimp me on her comment to mctabby's extravaganza, but just now, curi_oh pimped me to wayfairer's. I am so feeling the loff.
^[3] Though, this may be a good thing (the discussion, not fandom_wank's amusement with it), because people are writing protest!fic, and you all know how I feel about things that generate fic.
