The more I look around Wikipedia the lamer I find it truly is. There are four books listed under "Literature" for "History of the United States." The last three are the textbooks we're using for APUSH - Johnson's "A History of the American People," Zinn's "A People's History of the United States," and Kennedy/Bailey/Cohen's "The American Pageant" 12e. Yeah, 12th edition exactly. What does that tell you about the people who wrote the article? Kids who were in love with Wikipedia and had taken APUSH. Yeah, the period-summaries look like textbook to me. I wouldn't care, except I do know there are more than four books out there on American history. It's just silly. Mainly I'm frustrated because I didn't bring Johnson and I'm finding I want him, so I can find that bit about America being JUST LIKE Rome. Also, what Hamilton tried and failed to grow on that plot of land. Or I could just make shit up and not have a catchy byline for my fic. I think I'll go for that. It's already full of bolonga; what harm is a little more going to do? ETA: ( real things in the fic, for posterity ) Tags: school

Title: Revenge Fandom: Gilmore Girls Rating: PG-13 for sexuality Notes: Marty/Logan. I don't even know this fandom, or most of its canon; I have no grasp on the voices of these two guys. But I know a little context. And so I wrote fic. XD (Watch out for bad dialogue. :/) ( I bet you're not so great. ) Tags: fandom, fic Current Music: It's Delovely - anything goes

( Fic I really really enjoyed and am weeding out of my memories section by making a RECS POST. )ETA: You have no idea how much I'm craving Dead Poets Society right now. Here's a clue: SO INCREDIBLY MUCH OMFG. O__O ETA II: It's 12:46 AM and I've totally defeated the purpose of Fall-Back (which is to get to bed at a sane time and wake up, possibly earlier than normal, feeling totally refreshed and ready to tackle the world.) I guess I will just have to rely on the fact that, hey, tomorrow I'll be left alone until about noon or maybe even later! yay. Plus, I finished my History homework. Now it's just 1) waiting for Abby and Kyle to send their questions, 2) read Ch17 tomorrow, 3) do math assignment. :) Tags: fandom, hp, rec, starwarsomg!

I think I'm going to spam the LJ with various Housefics that I wrote a while ago, but never considered "good enough" to actually polish and put up officially. I think I'm also going to do an iconpost later of more odds and ends. (I just realized I need a House icon. Cool!) So! Housefic! Title: Out of the Blue Fandom: House Rating: G Notes: House/Wilson snarky cute preslash. Inspired by house_slash's Labcoats, Suits and Ties challenge; written during the Reign of Voegler, and before I had a good grasp on their voices, heh. (I'm sorry, Wilson XD) ( An error in the landscape, if he would. ) Tags: fic Current Music: Such Great Heights - the Postal Service

Nevermind being late; the thing didn't work out anyway. *sigh of sadness* But there is tomorrow :) So instead of hanging out with rabbitgryph all afternoon, I went on errands with mom by the Tacoma Mall. We got food at the Cash and Carry - fun stuff! 25 pounds of short-grain rice, chocolates for Uncle Rick's belated birthday, mango Snapple and peach Snapple, a big box of Baja!Starbursts. Then we went to Half-Price books, where I didn't find the Zinn book for AP US History, but I did find the Moulin Rouge soundtrack, a Massive Attack CD (not Mezzanine, but oh well :) ), and a Gin Blossoms CD for no other reason than I'd heard their name before and it was a buck in the sales rack. I really need to go there more often; I could've gotten a translation of the Upanishads for $5 but I already spent 20 on my mom's card. Then I came home and posted a_humamentathon entries :D THINGS I WROTE! Title: The Gold DaughterFandom: Fairy Tales/Original Fiction Rating: PG (implied creepy themes) Notes: written for themis. Title: AccidentalsFandom: Smallville Rating: PG-13 to be safe (ANATOMY. ZOMGZ. sort of.) Notes: backup-written for rheakurokawa. Kind of cracked-out, maybe. Oh, and last night we went to see Batman Begins! Which was a really really awesome movie. Like, really awesome. Seriously. That cool. :D (Mostly, I CAN'T GET OVER LIAM NEESON. WHAT!?!? Violence!? But he's been so gentle in every other movie I've seen him in! *mind is blown*) I have to get to the library later so I don't get fined even MORE. Eurgh. How about I just keep Velvet Goldmine, kay? I'd like that. I'll pay my fines if you let me keep the movie. plzkthx. Tags: fic Current Mood:  okay

Vaguely slashy. I call this Toulouse/Christian, version .5. Totally G, and it's probably even more accurate to say that it's friendshipfic. Posting it because I don't know why. (Probably because I'm avoiding my homework! But no, it seems a little bit complete in itself, there's just *something* missing in the middle and I'm not sure what.)

Title: Pain Fandom: House, MDRating: G (though maybe PG if you count implied pain-med addiction) Notes: Gen, House and Wilson. Based on Detox (1x11), and I'm sure there are inaccuracies, for which I apologize :). Third person House-centric. I totally suck at titles. ( He takes the drugs. ) Tags: fic

mainly for the purpose of decreasing my lj Memory count, but recs are always a good thing :) Some of these (well, most of them, really) are pretty old, and I'm sure quite a few of you have read them before, but who knows? :) ( including Smallville, Harry Potter, Shakespeare slash, Dead Poets Society, and one Secret Garden )Went on a walk for an hour or more. I should work on homework, yes. But Oligochaetes aren't much fun. Tags: fandom, hp, rec

FINALLY. Okay. Now I can post. losselen: Here is your (by now, post-)christmas-drabble-thingy, after way way way too long (and for that I DEEPLY apologize. I feel quite bad about how late this is.) And I really hope you like this - I was pretty blocked on it for what seems like forever, so I'm not sure about the quality myself. much love!
