THIS IS MADNESS. NO, THIS. IS. CAMELOT.

saldfjdslkfj hello, hi, I am not dead, hi.

So most of you know why I have been conspicuously absent all week and if you don't, you can ask, uh, anyone else, and they will tell you. I'm not going into it because it's my work and I try to keep work and play as separate as I can (which is like, 95% impossible when my work is play), so yeah, thank you to everyone who's been respecting that, you are all magnificent and I love you.

But omg, completely unsympathetic complaint (well, not complaint so much as... venting?) time, I am so fucking tired. Like, I don't think I even realized how tired I was until I got home from my checkup and went to my e-mail and re-read one of my recent posts for work and was like "oh, fucknuggets, I sound so bitchy". I mean, in my defense, everyone gets bitchy sometimes, especially when they're tired, and I was doing like five things at once while I was typing that up, and I often forget that sarcasm cannot be read over the internet, but I only forget that when I'm really tired. And by tired I mean, I have been too adrenaline-crazy between work/my final yesterday which I vastly over-studied for/attempting to get Christmas presents out to sleep more than four or five hours a night. (Note: if I promised you something for Christmas, expect it for New Year's. If I promised you something and you are not American, expect it in time for Valentine's Day.) And thank God Bones is over for the year because I have like a week's worth of dishes I've been too busy to do sitting in the kitchen, plus I have to put in a laundry and vacuum the living room. Tonight. So for obvious reasons, I'm sort of eschewing the whole finale review/picspam thing for some later date when I am bored and Merlin fandom is quiet, and then I will be all SURPRISE! NINJA ATTACK OF MERLIN! And everyone will be all HOORAH HOORAH and we will celebrate jubilantly.

But tomorrow is my birthday, and you know what I'm giving myself for my birthday? A day of doing absolutely nothing. (Well, I will probably be finishing Christmas cards, and doing silly stuff like updating my fanvid wishlist because I have about five more ideas and one actually got made (!!!), but that's a fun sort of chore.) I will be lolling around the internet basking in the warm fuzzy glow cast by the re-ignition of the fandom squee machine, and then at night I am having what I consider to be The Formula For The Best Night Ever. And by that, I mean it will be me, my sister, my BFF, and my dog marathoning 30 Rock while eating Chinese food, and then the dog will sleep over curled up against my tummy. Because clearly, I am a hardcore party animal like that. You know what else I'm giving myself for my birthday? A GIANT NAP. WHICH IS REALLY THE ONLY THING LEFT THAT I WANT FROM THE UNIVERSE. Well, at least on my realistic wishlist, because I don't think that, say, I will grow three inches overnight, or Joseph Gordon-Levitt is going to ring the doorbell tomorrow and ask me out with a sidebar of marrying him.

UNTIL THEN! PLEASE SQUEE AT ME. ACCEPTABLE TOPICS OF DISCUSSION INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO:

- SCOTT CAAN AND THAT PICTURE OF HIM EATING A TRIPLE ORGASM CAKE TO CELEBRATE HIS GOLDEN GLOBE NOM BECAUSE OMG WTF ADORABLE
- THE PETITION THAT SOMEONE NEEDS TO START TO MAKE SCOTT CAAN BE SHIRTLESS BECAUSE REALLY NOW
- THIS MUSIC VIDEO WHICH I HAVE WATCHED LIKE EIGHT BILLION TIMES AND THE FIRST TIME I SAW IT I WAS SO HAPPY I NEARLY THREW UP FROM SMILING TOO HARD
- ALEX O'LOUGHLIN IS RIDICULOUS AND ADORABLE UNTIL HE SPEAKS WITH AN AUSTRALIAN ACCENT, AT WHICH POINT SUDDENLY HE IS IRRESISTIBLY ATTRACTIVE AND I WANT TO HUG HIM UNTIL HIS EYES POP OUT LIKE ONE OF THOSE STRESS DOLLS
- BASICALLY ANYTHING RELATING TO HAWAII 5-0 BECAUSE OMG THAT SHOW IS LIKE A LITTLE OASIS OF GAY IN A BIG OLD HETEROSEXUAL DESERT
- FUZZY PUPPIES/KITTENS/GERBILS/COLIN MORGAN'S HAIR
- MY NEWEST THEORY ON COLIN MORGAN AS DISCUSSED WITH [livejournal.com profile] copperiisulfate: HE IS ACTUALLY ONE OF SANTA'S ELVES, BUT HE GOT KICKED OUT OF THE NORTH POLE BECAUSE HE WAS CAUSING ALL THE OTHER ELVES TO HAVE SEXUALITY CRISES AND IT WAS SLOWING DOWN PRODUCTIVITY
- THE WAY COLIN MORGAN SAYS WORDS
- THE FACT THAT BRADLEY JAMES TOTALLY UNSECRETLY READS LIVEJOURNAL BECAUSE AHAHAHAH, BRADLEY JAMES, YOU ARE SO RIDICULOUS I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE YOU EXIST
- THIS EXISTS AND IS TRUE.
- YOU KNOW WHAT'S REALLY DELICIOUS? CAKE IS REALLY DELICIOUS
- SO ARE CUPCAKES
- OR PIE
- I LOVE BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH'S FACE AND I FEEL WE DON'T DISCUSS THIS ENOUGH, BUT IT IS SO LOVELY SOMETIMES I WANT TO CREATE CHARTS DISCUSSING, LIKE, HOW HIS EYES ARE MAGNIFICENT
- I'M ON A BOAT. (DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO!)

THE FACT THAT BRADLEY JAMES TOTALLY UNSECRETLY READS LIVEJOURNAL BECAUSE AHAHAHAH, BRADLEY JAMES, YOU ARE SO RIDICULOUS I CAN'T EVEN BELIEVE YOU EXIST

THERE IS NO WAY I'LL PASS THIS UP AS A TOPIC OF CONVERSATION. EVER.

Reading that transcript I was just like. What. What. IS THIS REAL LIFE, BRADLEY? ARE YOU ACTUALLY SAYING THESE THINGS?

"lol o who knows wtf gwen's there for, i've got merlin as the advisor"

AND THAT THING WHERE HE BASICALLY "INTERVIEWED" COLIN ABOUT HIS BEING LACTOSE INTOLERANT BASICALLY INTERRUPTING YOU. I DIED. WHAT ARE YOU, BRADLEY? A PERSON? NO. YOU'RE CLEARLY TOO EPIC TO BE A PERSON. YOU'RE LIKE A PUPPY WHO GOT TURNED INTO A PERSON BY ELF-COLIN'S MAGIC. obviously. WHO ELSE WANTS ARTHUR/LANCE. RLY? JUST GET RID OF GWEN ALTOGETHER? SILLY ADORABLE BRADLEY.

Also. Kittens are always good. Mine have been wreaking havoc. HAVOC. How are your bb gerbils? Still totally ungangsta?

[identity profile] chibirhm.livejournal.com 2010-12-16 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
It was at that point when I was listening I started keyboard mashing frantically into my gchat window with [livejournal.com profile] ella_bane "I THINK WE HAVE PROOF THAT BRADLEY JAMES READS MY LIVEJOURNAL. I AM PRETTY SURE I WROTE THAT. HAVEN'T I WRITTEN THIS TO YOU BEFORE?!?!!?" And then the Arthur/Lancelot stuff! WTF BRADLEY JAMES, STOP TRYING TO PRETEND YOU DON'T WRITE FANFICTION.

My gerbils are good! Gus is being a tool, though, he keeps hoarding all the food and yanking it out of Charlie's mouth and then just... standing on it. Pondering. Like "Yeeees, I have gotten all the food. Now what to do with the spoils of war" and Charlie's like "....wtf I am hungry."

See, I've been reading it from the beginning so I'm like WHYYYY ARE PEOPLE NOT WRITING FASTER WHY WHY WHYYYYYYYYYYY WANT MOAR FIC

Of course, I'm writing my fic paaaaaaaaaaainfully slowly so I should not talk.

Is this about that conference call transcript?! :D I'll listen to it now. How is it that I always miss out on these things? =(

So anyway, where I live it's already your birthday, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Enjoy your day and get some rest, dear. <3

So, like, I am writing a thing where Alex and Scott are stupid and in love, but it won't be ready in time for your birthday? And even though I have at least two other prompts from you, I am writing this crazy story instead? I guess my point is that there is a gift for you, it just won't be ready on your birthday, but it will be soon!

So, you know, yay you! Essentially. ♥

[identity profile] chibirhm.livejournal.com 2010-12-17 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
IT IS. He is so ridiculous it's completely unreal. And there's audio up of some of it too! So you can read and HEAR his most ridiculous moments. OH BRADLEY JAMES WHY DO YOU EVER LEAVE US!?!?

Thanks! As soon as I finish the dishes I am collapsing and refuse to be moved. Ever.

ALSKJFLKSDJ WE HAVE BEEN FRIENDS FOR LIKE TWO SECONDS AND I HAVE ALREADY CONNED YOU INTO WRITING ME FIC? I FEEL LIKE THIS MAY BE THE START OF A BEAUTIFUL FRIENDSHIP. /CASABLANCA

Gosh. Lol. I'm still reading the transcript. It still amazes me how much Bradley OBVIOUSLY ships M/A :D
Oh, I cannot even <3

I HAVE YET TO HEAR ALEX SPEAK WITH HIS AUSTRALIAN ACCENT. D:
I'VE SEEN MANY INTERVIEW VIDS POSTED, BUT I NEVER WATCH THEM BECAUSE OF SECOND-HAND EMBARRASSMENT. D:

COLIN MORGAN HAS THE BEST ACCENT IN THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOORLD!!!!!!!!!!!
I EVEN LOVE THE WAY HE SAYS THOSE IN-BETWEEN WORDS (which he says alot of) LIKE "ERM" AND "EM" AND "UH".

HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY!!! (This isn't a copout. I will wish you a Happy Birthday again tomorrow.)

I was talking to poor [livejournal.com profile] ella_bane while I was listening to this so she'd keep getting random keymashes and ALSKDJFLSKADJFLKJ BRADLEY I THINK READS MY LIVEJOURNAL!!!! WTF I THINK I WROTE THAT DID HE JUST COPY-PASTE IT!?!? and ASDKFJLASDKJ COLIN YOUR FEEEEEEEECE and BRAAAADLEYYYYYYYY YOU ARE A FANGIRL OMG and then just random glee and she was like "...the fuck?"

[identity profile] chibirhm.livejournal.com 2010-12-17 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
OMG IT IS SO WORTH IT. DOOOO ITTTTT. YOUR PANTIES WILL SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST.

Okay, TRUE FACT OF WHY NO ONE NEAR THEIR BIRTHDAY SHOULD SPEND A LOT OF TIME LISTENING TO COLIN MORGAN: So my mom's making my cake, right? And since I requested something a little different this year she keeps asking me about recipes, only every time she does I start giggling to myself, and she's like "what's so funny?" and I keep going "kyeeeeeeeeeck" and she's like "what?" and I'm like "kyeeeeeeeeeck. In the kievs." and she's like "....."

I'M SORRY MOM IT'S ALL COLIN MORGAN'S FAULT.

[identity profile] viennajones.livejournal.com 2010-12-17 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
=D The person I usually torture with all my squeeing is sound asleep. Good for her, actually...
I can't decide which part I liked best lol. Bradley telling Colin to cover his ears (what the hell was that about anyway? :D) or asking him about his lactose intolerance or calling him saintly with that comparison to Mother Theresa. What is this doing to me? :D I should be tired as hell but I doubt I'll fall asleep anytime soon lol

Arthur (the verifier) is a probabilistic, polynomial-time machine, while Merlin (the prover) has unbounded resources.

ONLY THIS IS REVERSED FOR BRADLEY AND COLIN, CORRECT? :D

ALSO HI HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY YOU SWEET YOUNG THING, YOU.

Okay, if you have never heard O'Lough's accent, YOU NEED TO START WITH THIS. Skip to the 2:45 mark and you will see why.

It's really horrible. I get so cranky when I don't sleep enough!
Which is why I'll give it proper try now (ugh, Christmas shopping tomorrow) Good night, and again, enjoy your birthday! =)

omg I got it explained to me by someone who understands math but basically the entire thing describes two supercomputers who are indecipherable to anyone else BUT EACH OTHER. They are in SUPERCOMPUTER LOVE <3 <3 <3

THANKS DARLING. I feel sort of silly that I'm turning 22 and spending my birthday like I'm forty, like when I'm forty I'm gonna be like WOOOHOOO I WISH I COULD PARTY.

1. I will never be over that MerlinArthurProtocol thing. Never ever.

2. BRADLEY JAMES IS UNREAL. HE DISAGREES WITH COLIN BECAUSE HE SEES MERLIN AND ARTHUR AS EQUALS. AND THINKS ARTHUR IS READY FOR THE REVEAL. I AM OUT OF BREATH WITH THE NOISE I'VE MADE WANTING HIM TO WRITE THIS SHOW. and I can't even get started about how he asks Colin hilariously awkward questions during their interviews. never stop the shameless flirting, boys. never ever.

3. I don't know what it is and if it's something that's wrong with me but I just can't seem to get into the H50 fic. I will eat up the vids with a spoon (and that one is LOVELY) but so far I've made it through like HALF a fic tops :/

4. Happy early birthday! :D

[identity profile] chibirhm.livejournal.com 2010-12-17 03:05 am (UTC)(link)
1. THEY SPEAK A SPECIAL SUPERCOMPUTER LANGUAGE OF LOVE TO EACH OTHER. THEY MATHEMATICALLY TELL EACH OTHER DIRTY, DIRTY THINGS.

2. I KNOW RIGHT. I spent the entire time torn between sitting there going "didn't I just write this rant in my livejournal? DOES BRADLEY JAMES READ MY LIVEJOURNAL!?!!??!" and then like "I CANNOT BE HEARING HIM CORRECTLY, THIS IS NOT REAL LIFE. OMG IS THIS REAL LIFE?!??"

I love how Colin's all professional an well-spoken when Bradley's no talking and the second Bradley starts he turns into a total giggling moron. BE CUTER, YOU TWO.

3. THAT IS SAD BECAUSE IT IS AWESOME. Though to be fair, the show is essentially fanfiction in and of itself.

4. THANKS DARLING!

1. AIN'T THE M/A PROTOCOL THING AWESUM???

2. OMG THE LANCELOT SLASH THING - YOU CAN TELL THAT HE'S ROOTING FOR TEAM SLASH (AND ADULTERY)

3. BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH IS ONE OF THE MOST HANDSOME, GEEKY, ADORABLE, HOT FACES EVER - HE AND COLIN ARE MY FAVE PPL. AND COME ON, HIS VOICE? THING OF BEEEEEAUTY.

4. COLIN'S ACCENT IS LIKE KYEEEEEEEEEEEECK OF JOY.

"COVER YOUR EARS." I JUST. I had to read that like five times to make sure I got it right. Also, I love to death how all the Merlin interview/promo stuff for the American airing gives us so much flail fodder during hiatus :D

re: H50 - I think it's mostly that I'm not looking very hard for the stuff I would probably want to read? I think I would enjoy the hilarious case fic or gen or ridiculous domestic stuff or overall team fic but 99% of the stuff that I've had rec'd has been porn and I kinda just dnw that in this fandom. IDK, I am straaaange like that..

[identity profile] copperiisulfate.livejournal.com 2010-12-17 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
**and by "dnw that in this fandom", I should probably clarify that it's not what I personally want out of that fandom. NOT AT ALL A BLANKET STATEMENT OVER WHAT THE FANDOM SHOULD BE LIKE.

/end awkward paranoid clarification

IT'S BECAUSE HE KNOWS COLIN WILL GO BRIGHT PINK AND THEN TRY TO GROPE HIM WHILE HE IS SPEAKING IF HE HEARS BRADLEY LAVISHLY PRAISING HIM, OBVS.

BUT HOW CAN YOU NOT WANT TO IMAGINE ALEX O'LOUGHLIN NAKED AND DOING DIRTY THINGS? AND WHILE I ADMIT SCOTT CAAN'S HAIR IS RIDICULOUS, I WOULD NOT KICK HIM OUT OF BED FOR EATING CRACKERS.
