Ugh, I have officially been having the worst few weeks, and not in a big disaster kind of way, just a thousand and one little problems and stresses all happening right on top of each other with no break in between kind of way. Very draining. Hi flist! *has missed you*

I've not been online much, hence a million comments/emails to catch up on, but I have been scribbling a bit here and there. Will be posting fic soon. (Yes, more Leverage team-yay, because STILL THE GREATEST THING EVER.) Also been getting a bit done for [info]thelittlebang, which is still intimidating the crap out of me, but I am managing to maintain a shred of optimism. (...Kind of?)


So [info]purimgifts happened! Belated post-reveal thing:

[info]lyssie wrote for me! Susan Ivanova, Aeryn Sun, and Sophie/Parker/Maggie partners in crime awesome women gen fic omgwtf my red hot burning love for these fics, let me show you it.

I, meanwhile, wrote three SG1 fics, Carolyn Lam, Sam/Ishta/Jello, and Vala/Cassie - all in a gen capacity - for [info]prehistoric_sea.

I have to say, I completely loved this holiday exchange, both participating myself and reading the results. It was full of fun and glee and wonderful women and Jewish faith and tradition and yay. *cuddles*


HIMYM this week made me squee so hard guys. MARSHALL AND BARNEY FLYING TO NEVERLAND. And 'tell me more about marriage, Marshall' snuggling Barney/Marshall in bed! I died.

And the PORCH. 'Ted, just sit and think for a minute about how awesome we are.' With the bridge, hee. 'Seven bridges! I win!' Elderly Marshall and Lily and Ted and Robin! I heart this show so much.

And wow, Alyson Hannigan is so pregnant it's kind of ridiculous. But I don't even care because NIGHTSHIRTS. Robin's SHOW. 'It's scorch marks, blood, a little placenta...' BARNEY'S PYJAMAS. 'I have to lie perfectly still so I don't wrinkle my suitjamas.'

It's kind of weird how they keep dredging the Robin/Ted back up, right? I love that it's this thing in their past, but Robin's freak out at the wedding, the FWB thing, and now they have a marriage pact? Weird. It's like the writers want to keep their options open, but if Robin's not the mother then what is even the point of that? Or maybe I just want Robin to be safe from Ted because she is about a billion times too awesome for him. Anyway, Lily's machinations, however, kind of awesome. But Ted should really know what a moron he is with relationships by now, and just thank her for saving him from himself, srsly. Dude is hopeless.

Mostly I just want to think about Marshall and Barney snuggling in their nightshirts. Hee.


Now off to read flist. ?skip=wtf.

I read somewhere HIMYM is signed on to do 7 seasons and I wonder if that's what'll end up killing the show. They have an overall arc to follow, Ted does need to meet Mrs Ted at some point, Robin/Barney has to get resolved and while I like episodes that are just random in terms of plots and story arcs, I love the overall concept so much I wish they'd drop more hints about Mrs Ted.

So yeah I think Robin/Ted being brought up over and over again is just them buying time. I sincerely hope they're not forced to do 7 seasons because while the more HIMYM, the better, I don't want the story to get stale by the time they can get to the really juicy stuff.

They could easily do seven seasons if they introduced the mother now and incorporated her into the show - but if they are really set on having the final scene of the show be 'AND THAT'S HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER', then they should cut it short. It's just getting ridiculous drawing it out like this. Not that I want that, because I love these characters and don't want them to go away!

Yeah, I am hoping we'll see the show end with the marriage of Ted and his wife. To bring that 6th person in is a bit risky but would also be really great, to see why this relationship develops into a life-long one.

BARNEY IN SUITJAMAS. That is just, beyond all reasonable levels of awesome.

HIMYM was awesome, there was an A Few Good Men parody *hearts* (My Tom Cruise love is long gone but AFGM will always be one of my favorites movies.)

It's kind of weird how they keep dredging the Robin/Ted back up, right? I love that it's this thing in their past, but Robin's freak out at the wedding, the FWB thing, and now they have a marriage pact? Weird. In a way it makes sense because Robin and Ted didn't really deal with their break-up emotionally. Plus they broke not because they didn't love each other but because they wanted different things, so those feelings didn't disappear just 'cause they didn't talk about it. Maybe it should have happened on season 3 but I kinda like it.

Or maybe I just want Robin to be safe from Ted because she is about a billion times too awesome for him. Hee, I think I feel that way about Barney/Robin, maybe that's why Robin/Ted doesn't bug as much.

Ps: Hope RL gets better ;)
