Pics and shock

._____. I think I'm in shock. I just got an official compliment from a problem teacher. Not just a problem teacher, actually. THE Problem Teacher. She's known for causing all sorts of hassles, for going to the Deans (or the PRESIDENT homg) when she doesn't get her way, for randomly calling up to bitch when something doesn't work because she's doing it wrong... and I got a compliment from her.

The apocalypse is officially here people.

In light of that, here are some WinCon photos I stole scrounged. I'm being very picky about which ones I post. Also, in order to save my own dial up when I try to reply to this, only a few use the img tag. The rest are just linked.

If I seem flushed, well... You know. See weekend posts for an accounting of alcohol consumption.
WinCooooooon )

End of stolen borrowed photos. :D

For people who might be interested, [livejournal.com profile] wincon is going multi-fandom next year. If you're an SPN fangirl or just someone who likes going out and having a ball with really awesome people, you've got a year to save for booze money.

Happy Tuesday

I thought about doing a WinCon summary, but surprise! I really can't think of anything. SHOCK, I tell you. For the most part, my mini-posts covered it. "Attended panels. Got trashed. Wash, rinse, repeat." In there you can include $30 steaks that were well worth the money and a lot of waiters/waitresses that were very well tipped. If anyone has pictures to share, please to be doing so? ;~; You see, I did not have a camera worth calling such, and my phone camera hated me.

I think I'm going to do NaNo. D: I have 20ish scenes named in an incomplete plot outline, and my goal is 25-30 scenes total. It's still pretty much fuzzy and needs cleaning up (I'm going to have to mainline Ults canon this month), but I think I can do it. *gulp* Which means the rest of this month will be spent dealing with back-logged stories and planning November, including individual scene plotting and detail work. (ties on a sweatband and strikes a pose)

I have seven (!!!!!) fics that are definitely in the queue for editing and a few more that I don't expect to be beta'd in time before NaNo. Some of them are shorties and I'll probably take care of them on my own. (I have faith in my ability to beta 300 words.) Only two of them really cry out for a beta reader to me. I'll save those for last, just because... erm, yeah. So anyway, start too expect a flood from me. Possibly starting today. Again. Sorry!

ETA: Should have posted this a while ago. (wanders off, humming)

MORE DRUNKEN POSTING

From WinCon! :D We're at WinProm, and I'm significantly less wasted than the last drunken post. I fly home tomorrow, and I refuse to risk a hangover. (Even though I didn't have one this morning. No one was more shocked than I was.)

Today has been awesome. We had Kink Panel, Tin Hat crafts, Bad Fic Idol and Tin Hat Pageant. The only bad part? The SNOW. DAMN YOU SNOW. I managed to flash our poor room service guy TWICE. I kept forgetting that normal people wear bras when waiters arrive, and then he randomly walked by. At least he didn't catch me naked. Others did. To be fair, they came to our room, where casual nudity just is, and I was putting my thigh highs on (panties go on over garters for ease of removal -- I hold close to hope.) I also have incredibly sexy shoes and thigh high hose that I've been flashing all night. Naturally, this means my feet hurt. :< But it's so worth it for all the kisses and gropes I've been getting. \o/

I will try to post a comprehensive post later, but needless to say, WINCON WINS.

Wincon

I've been drinking since about 3 PM, and it's past midnight where I am now, so~! Forgive lack of coherency (omg that was hard to type). Today was full of love and panels and OMG so much fun you have no idea. <3 <3 <3 I groped and was groped in return, and other than P-chan declaring that I wasn't fit for public and then filling me with water, 'twas AWESOME. We just got back from a ghost tour, which was also awesome, except that Denver IS SNOWING AND THEREFORE IT IS DAMNED COLD. D: D: D: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOES.

A reasoned ressponse

(runs around flailing)

WINCON WINCON WINCON WINCON HEE! I GET TO SEE P-CHAN AND STACY AND VELITHYA AND BRYN AND KAT AND CHELSEA AND HOMG NOT ENOUGH BRAIN TO REMEMBER THEM ALL BY NAME HOMG HOMG HOMG HOMG!!!!!

(BREATHES)

(runs around flailing some more)

*ahem* For those of you who missed the very subtle signals I'm putting out, I'm excited. :3 My plane leaves out of here at seven, which means (hopefully) I'll have a chance to eat something. ¬¬ We'll see. My local airport is tiniezmabobbers, so the security check shouldn't be too long. Here is what I'll be facing when I arrive:

For comparison, here's the weather at the same time where I live.

I haven't seen snow since I was 16! On one hand... OMG YAY THIS IS AWESOME. On the other... This is all the more reason to stay inside the hotel and employ warming agents (IE: liquor, cuddle buddies, liquor, blankets and liquor). I think seventy is chilly, this is just going to kill me. Not to mention the issues with the altitude. I've lived my whole life at or below sea level. Fun times ahead, if only because my usually high alcohol tolerance will be gone. I'll try to keep the drunken posting to a minimum—one a day, unless something truly awesome happens. :D However, I will be available via either text, twit, IM, phone or the good old trick of e-mail, so I'm hardly going to be out of reach. Fic will be written (probably drunkenly) and edited (hopefully more sober). I might actually be in more contact than usual, seeing as I'll have internet at hand all the time.

Finally! Posted Goldrider!Tony to [livejournal.com profile] cap_ironman. \o/ I hope everyone enjoys it—crossovers are not everyone's cuppa I know no matter how addicted I am to them. Next task: Halloween!Fic(s?) and plotting possible NaNoWriMo.

Writer's Block: Airplane reading

[Error: unknown template qotd]
Wow, this seems topical. :D I typically bring along the same thing I always read, with an option on printed fanfics. Fantasy novels or maybe a couple old favorites fill my bag, at least three. I figure that way I have a better chance of having something I feel like reading. Just in case, I usually also bring along some drawing materials, even though drawing on a plane is a PITA, but I usually default to reading. This year, I'm planning on bringing along American Gods (never read it before— I know, I know, Gaiman is god, etc, that's why I'm bringing it), a book by a previously-proven author who seems to have seen Furuba and been inspired, and possibly a Discworld book. No printed fics this time, since my laptop will be with me, thus removing the need to murder trees for my own amusement. I plan to write while I'm in the air, but I need something to have out so I can make the stewardess frown at me during take-off and landing. I'm also bringing along Essential Iron Man 2 and some TPBs (New Avengers & Ultimates) to assist in converting the SPN masses keeping entertained.

Hmmm. I need to get around to posting goldrider!Tony before I leave out tomorrow. ¬.¬ I'm bad, I know. Also, Halloween!Fic is almost to the point where it will need a hardcore beta—it's down to tweaking the draft. D: Eeep! (hides)

ETA: Gold Rider Tony posted! :o I'll probably wait until tomorrow to post to the comm. ¬¬ Give it a day between posts.;; Parts 1 & 2 and part 3 are over here. (It was too big for one post!) A Pern Overview is here, for those who aren't familiar with the 'verse.

WinCon

(flail) HOMG WINCON YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

Not that I'm excited or anything.

Here's my flight schedule, suitably edited for anonymity.
In the air )
In other words, I'm arriving in Denver at dork o'clock, and getting back home at almost dork o'clock. With work on Monday, hooboy. Hopefully, I'll be sober-ish by the time I have to be on the plane. And clothed. ( I feel targeted by the WinCon Rules post lol. D: ) We'll see how Tattoo goes. I want, but I have very limited time, so we'll see.

I'm planning to try and get some writing done on the plane, or what else are laptops for? Here's hoping I'll actually be beyond the rough draft stage of one of my Halloween fics. *sigh* Ultimates!Halloween is looking more NaNoWriMo (not that I'm insane enough to attempt NaNo with my record of writing here) than one-shot, so it's back-burner but likely to be completed just because I think that Tony could be so much fun. ¬-¬;; I like Ults Tony. (squishes him) I also got a genius idea for girl!Cap costume. I'm going to butcher some white tights, so that girl!Cap does not have completely bare arms. It'll also go well with the white tights I'm planning on wearing on the legs. I also found a pair of omg so much want boots (except in white—I have enough black knee-high boots lol), but I'm going to wait until I have costume & boot covers in hand before I purchase, to make sure it works.
ETA a Poll )

Weekend Report

I... was finally going to make that pet post, and then I realized that I left the pictures on a thumb drive at home. (facepalm) So you can probably expect puppehs tomorrow, along with kittehs and horsies.

This weekend was... erm, expensive? Lol I went shopping for prom shoes for [livejournal.com profile] winchestercon. I did not think that a pair of gold, strappy heels would be hard to find since they're usually all over the place. Fail, self, because apparently silver is all the rage this year. WHY? Usually I never wear gold, but the one time I need it is the one time I can't find it. It took me two weeks to find this pair, and as much as I love them I have definitely learned my lesson: next time, just go straight to a small boutique. It was cheaper than any of the other places by a long shot and they had dozens of pairs. (eyeroll) Don't I feel silly?
TL;DR shopping )
ETA an LJ cut because I didn't realize this was so long! Whoops!

birthdays, costumes and tattoos, oh my

I once swore to myself that I'd get better at LJ birthdays lol. So here's to remembering! Happy Birthday, [livejournal.com profile] kijikun!

In other news, I finally remembered that Halloween is coming up and I need a costume! I was planning on going as Pepper, because that's a nice Work Safe sort of costume. It doesn't get much more Work Safe than a business suit and maybe an arc reactor. Oh, and freckles. I'm already a redhead. But then it turns out that Halloween falls on a Saturday! HUZZAH! Of course, this also means that I have to find something to do on Halloween, but I'll worry about that later. Costume first.

Well, I went looking and guess what I found? Okay, so they're only gender-bent Cap-ish, but they're women's costumes, so there's only so much I can or am willing to do. But how horrible is it that I keep staring at their masks and going, "COWL. Not mask. COWL. And for gods sakes, it's supposed to be blue with wings! Not silver!" I do like the peek-a-boo star cut out on the third and predictably most expensive, though. I'd totally make my own, except my resources include time money sewing ability, which means purchasing ahoy. (No matter what, if I do go as Cap, I'm definitely changing the mask. Even gluing wings on a blue domino mask would be better!)

Geez, WinCon is coming up too. :o I need to figure out hotel arrangements. I can afford to pay for my own this year (only staying three nights, BOO), but cost defraying is always good. I'm not planning anything for WinProm other than a pretty dress—I don't even know what I'd do for the theme lol. And tattoo is still an option, as far as I know. (Though [livejournal.com profile] jadeate and [livejournal.com profile] clex_monkie89 and I need to decide what we're getting still! Hellos? Peoples? I need to visit the MSN chat more.)

Make the bunnies go away

You know, I had a topic this morning. I really, honestly and truly did. (headdesk) So sleepy....

Comment if you want on my WinCon 09 filter. If I make a WinCon 09 filter. The need for a filter is still very much up on the air depending on how much I babble. As yesterday's firestorm of ETAs proves, I cam babble. Especially moments like now when I have to be awake and coherent for work reasons but don't really have the brainpower available to add "sane" onto that.

This icon makes me wibble. /random

Yes. Yes I desperately want a SPN/Avengers massive crossover fic like burning.

SAM AND DEAN ARE TIGHTLESS AND CAPELESS. THIS IS A TRAVESTY. THAT IS ALL.

Actually, that's totally not all. We all know Blue Soaring rocked out with the Iron Man/Winchester fic like whoa. And I fell in love. Now I just sort of have this burning need to add Steve to the mix somehow. And a kitten. Because I love kittens.

I mean, Dudes, the Winchesters are dealing with... Ahem. All the stuff they are dealing with. (dodges spoilers) You can't tell me that it's impossible that something could come up and take them to New York. From there, it's a matter of coincidence and bad guys, right? I'm thinking something that works both their angles. A supervillain (this is a requirement) who uses magic would not be new. Demons? Demons are always fun. Or (!!!) the Avengers are dealing with something freaky (we'll say demon) and Tony had past dealings with John of the type John used to have with all sorts of people. Favors owed, consulting done, etc etc. Maybe Tony's parents died as part of a curse and John was "a specialist" who helped handle the problem. Anyways, when faced with something that they can only understand using a lot of "WTF" and "DAMN IT" phrases, Tony calls in some assistance, because He Hates Magic and Dr. Strange is... off somewhere. Or he could he scratching his head too. Something. Meanwhile, on the Sam&Dean angle, whatever's going on in New York has a tie-in with a case they just "solved" for a given amount of "solved", so they go check it out.

I have no idea what the plot is to this, but I want it anyway. And tie it in so it's a CW fix-it too. That's the ticket!

Gods, I need more coffee. OH. That reminds me. I need ideas for this year's WinCon Chat goodie bags. Candy is a foregone conclusion. As are paperclips. (I WEAR ONE THANK YOU. DO YOU?) There will also be salt, and this year I have time to make sure it's done in a way that's nicer. (Yes, I still have a large bag of salt in the driver-side doorwell of my car. It makes me feel better. STFU.) I also have another idea, but I'm going to be hushy hushy about that because I want to surprise people. :x Other ideas?

ETA: BRB Reading All That Remains again. Sam&Dean think they had a messed-up childhood. HA.

ETA I SWEAR THIS IS THE LAST ONE: Sam totally needs to be a hero/villain called "Antichrist". Because that would rock on so many crack-filled levels, I don't even know where to begin.

Q & A

Question 1: To Tweet or not to Tweet? I seem to be just about the only person on my friendslist who doesn't. o.o;; It would just be another service for me to ignore, I suppose. Hmm.

Question 2: If Jared were to make an LJ while completely drunk off his ass, what would his user name be? I shall make a poll, for the sake of the ticky box.

[Poll #1401785]

Question 3: Wincon? Anyone? (listens to the wind)
