i surrender my will as of this date

Happy hoppy birthday to [livejournal.com profile] darkvictory, who is fun and funner and talks like Bobbie from The Stepford Wives before she got changed, which is of great delight to me. Hope it's a good one, sweetie!

[livejournal.com profile] ciderpress is a source of great and cultish joy, because she provides pictures of Pharrell levitating while Justin leads the crowd in a rousing chorus of "na-na na-na na-na na-na LEADER!" mmmmmm, headcase.

And lastly, in an effort to rip myself away from work for at least the hour I spent eating lunch at my desk, I wrote an Igby Goes Down fic.

lowercase .. igby's running free, but ollie's just where he's always been

Short, but man -- sometimes it feels really good to venture back out've popslash. New perspectives and all.

All I can do in response is clap my hands in glee, really.

It's all just so precise and Oliver. Mmmm.

I saw Antitrust for the first time last weekend! I had no idea what I was missing!

"In the real world when you kill people they die - for real."

Best line of dialogue ever.

It SO is. It's very wise, actually. ;)

Thank you, baby. "Precise" is a marvy word and I'm very happy you used it. ^_^

And Antitrust is the shizzit! Ryan running around in glasses and "geek" clothes, pretending to be oh-so-smart! My favourite part was the frantic fork-scratching and subsequent marination. Hee!

re: lowercase

oh shit that was fantastic. I have such unholy love for that movie and man oh man did you capture both Oliver and Igby. Just eeeeeeeeeeeee. Mmmmm... incoherent babble. :-)

That movie rocks the house. I'm so glad you thought Ollie and Igby sounded like themselves; that's totally good to hear. Thank you, sweetie! *snug*

lowercase was lovely, darling. all prickly-sharp and bristling, and yet somehow warm and gentle. just as it should be.

mmmm, now I want whiskey.

mmmmmm, Ollie. Uh, I mean -- whiskey. Yeah. *g*

Thank you for the feedback, sugar. I love the way you've described it, and it makes me feel all accomplished. Squee!

I am...perhaps too amused at levitating Pharrell. Mmmm, headcase.

Pharrell and his seeeekrit pooooowers! I wouldn't be surprised.

What, it wasn't Justin levitating him???

[identity profile] darkvictory.livejournal.com 2003-11-12 06:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Eeee! *tackles you* Thank you!! And now I have to see The Stepford Wives to see how I talk. ;D And in honour of the Vancouver Posse, and of my birthday of course, I went out for sushi! *raises a mug of green tea to you*

Now. lowercase. *grovels gratefully at your feet* That was SO fucking perfect. So so Ollie and so so Igby and your description of Sookie so so perfect.

Hee! You should see the Stepford Wives anyhow, because it's a good damn movie. And I love Bobbie, she's uber-kewl. ^_^

And thank you for the kind words on the Igby-fic! It makes me very, very happy. *snug*

Mmm. I love that movie so, and this story was just what I needed.

if you ever want to venture out a little bit again, you could write more Rory/Justin. just sayin'. ;)

Dude, someday I really should write Rory/Justin. They would be SO darling together, and Chris could hang out with Lorelai again! eeee!

Glad you enjoyed the fic; that makes me very happy. *snug*

Levitating Pharrell! It's fabulous, it truly is. I feel like I've been to church just by skimming my flist.

mmmmmm, Pharrell + Justin = religious experience. I can get with that. *g*

The Igby story is lovely. It makes me terribly happy. And how he refers to Sookie in lowercase, but he can't do it with Igby, and the conversations that seem as if they happened but really didn't, and the inside of Oliver's head, and yes. I like this.

eee! Thank you so much, darling. When it comes to fandoms like Igby I usually think of you or [livejournal.com profile] pirateyes, which is a Very Good Thing because it makes my writing better. I'm so glad you liked it. *snug*

Gah.. I forgot about this post! I remember seeing it, trying to mentally remember to go back and read it when I had time- and of course I forgot, because I forget -everything-. So anyway. GREAT fic. I think you write the characters so well, and the lower case/upper case part was intereresting. Just lovely writing.. (and Igby's e-mail cracked me up!)

Dude, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it and that I managed to make them sound on-target. It was an odd experience because Igby's so loose and crazy and Ollie's so uptight -- switching back and forth between them was weird. So I'm glad to hear I got it right. *g*
