I feel pretty and witty and gay!

[chibirhm]

MY BIRTHDAY WAS SO AWESOME. I mean, my sister was feeling really unwell and was asleep most of the night instead of hanging out like we'd planned so that was annoying, but still! I have a very long history of very crappy birthdays, between it being so close to Christmas and being a twin (I mean, my parents were always great about giving us both what we wanted, even if that meant baking two cakes and cooking two dinners, but it's inevitable that as a kid you watch all your friends and your sister have a day that's JUST THEIR DAY FOREVER and you have to share it, and it feels sort of crappy, no matter how great your parents are) and the fact that for whatever reason, no one ever remembered it. It was particularly hellish in high school when there would be those girls who would go around with crowns and balloons tied to their bags and expect you to treat them like queens for a day and basically stop every class for fifteen minutes, and I would always make such a fuss over my friends' birthdays (once we bought a cafeteria cupcake and conned a science teacher into giving us a lighter they used for a Bunsen burner to "blow out", I never managed to top that one), and I would have to remind people for weeks it was my birthday and then whenever it came around they'd be like "sorry, forgot, have a big Spanish test and I was thinking about what I was going to do over Christmas break" and it was like lksdafjlksjdflkj ARG.

But yesterday! I slept until noon, I chilled out all day, the BFF came over for Chinese food, Ella spent the night, cake was delicious, I got Merlin season 1, How I Met Your Mother seasons 3 and 4, Community season 1, a cute little creamer shaped like a bunny, a cute little notebook again, with bunnies (bunnies are my "thing" in my family), and some big fuzzy PJ pants. Plus, sonicbookmark got me a year of paid account time! BB YOU ARE TOO GOOD TO ME. I WILL TRY TO FINISH A FIC SOMETIME BEFORE I DIE FOR YOU. And thank you for everyone who sent me messages! You all are too good to me. ♥

ANYWAY, SOME RANDOM MISCELLANY THAT DOESN'T REALLY COHERENTLY GO ANYWHERE.

UNE: So I was doing top 5's for my tumblr and had made all these pretty graphics when Ella, trying to get my attention, pawed at my laptop and SHUT IT DOWN before I had a chance to save them. TRAGEDY TRAGEDY TRAGEDY.

Most of it is easy enough to re-create, but the real tragedy is losing the one that was for Merlin/Arthur/Bradley/Colin (okay, they're all one giant mashed-up ball of love in my head. AND YOU CAN'T EXPECT ME TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THEM). It took me SO LONG to find/narrow down screencaps and pictures that spanned all seasons and eras and it is too fucking much to undertake again. So, hardship of hardships, I think you all should reach down and trawl through your photo collections for your favorite (undoctored/colored/whatever) pictures of the boys being stupidface in love for me to put into a collage. The only requirement is that they both be in the frame instead of just giving besotted eyes to the camera, like I want it to be obvious to anyone, even if they've never seen the two before, that they're looking at each other like I LOVE YOUUU.

DEUX:D'you know that I can easily choose my top 5 gay OTPs, but once you include all my heterosexual OTPs, I get SUPER CONFUSED?!?! Like I was going to do two top fives, one of just gay couples and one of just straight ones, but when I went to list all my favorite het pairings the list just kept going and going and going and I love them all the same! It's not with the same ardent fire and passion that my gay pairings inspire in me, mostly because I don't have to fight for het pairings to happen, you know? They actually get together if I wait long enough. They all make my heart warm. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THEM, IT'S LIKE MURDERING BABIES.

TROIS: DON'T ASK DON'T TELL REPEALED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMFG WHERE ARE YOU GUYS, I NEED SOMEONE TO JUMP UP AND DOWN AND SQUEAL LOUDLY WITH. WHERE IS THE PARTY?!?!? IS THERE A PARTY?!?!? SHOULD I HOST A PARTY?!?!? AM I THE ONLY ONE EXCITED FOR THE INEVITABLE CELEBRATORY YOUTUBE VIDEOS OF GAY COUPLES IN UNIFORM HUGGING AND MAKING OUT?!?!??!

QUATRE: Did you know I updated my fanvid request post? YOU SHOULD CHECK IT OUT, HINT HINT.

CINQ: Jesus fucking Christ the cast of Community is adorable. I've been listening to all the commentaries and I just want to move in with them and we can all be besties. Though I'm unsure how I feel about Dan Harmon. He's a genius, obviously, and I agree with him on a lot of things, but he also comes across as a kind of giant smug asshole.

But seriously, why doesn't Community get nominated for more shit? It's way better than a lot of the crap that does get nominated. I'm talking to you, United States of Tara and inexplicable Two and a Half Men.

CINQ AND A HALF: Am I the only one who hates Jeff and Annie together on Community? It icks me out so hard I can't even describe. I still am all aboard the Annie/Troy train. I'm unsure how I feel about Jeff/Britta, but I really want Annie and Troy to grow up and go out and get married and Annie will be a social worker or whatever she wants to be and Troy will own a construction company and Abed will move to LA but he'll talk to Troy on the phone every day and stay at their house whenever he needs and before he makes it big live in their basement. THE END IT WILL BE AWESOME.

SIX: So I just realized the other day while I was doing dishes that Future Husband JGL and also probably Tom Hardy and Ellen Page are probably going to be at all the major awards events this season because Inception keeps getting nominated for shit! LET'S DISCUSS MY LEVELS OF EXCITEMENT! THEY ARE HIGH.

Also, let's discuss how hard I laughed when I saw the For Your Consideration posters for whichever ball of shit Twilight movie they're on. You know the scene where Edward proposes that's in every commercial ever now that one of them is coming out on DVD? It is so hilariously awful and flat. And oh my god, that ring is hideous. Like, even refraining from my feminism rant, how can anyone think those movies or books are good it is so mind-boggling.

SEPT: DID I MENTION DON'T ASK DON'T TELL REPEAL IS REALLY EXCITING?!?!?!

HOLY MOTHER OF EDIT: OKAY, I KNOW THIS IS NOT ACTUALLY COLIN AND BRADLEY BUT MY MIND IS BLOWN. HOLY. FUCKING. FUCK.

DO WANT RIGHT NOW THIS IS PHOTO PROOF THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN, OKAY THANKS BYE.

Community is one of the best DVD sets to own, tbh. And you are not the only one who doesn't get Jeff/Annie, for srs. I can get behind Jeff/Britta, and Annie/Troy, and even Annie/Troy/Abed (because I am all about threesome that way), but yes.

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

I loved when he was all big brother-y to her in... 106? The one where Troy joins the football team? That was so cute! But ugh when they kiss or are romantic it feels so wrong.

Also I got your message, I can't really concentrate right now because my sister is next to me going through songs to put on her annual holiday mix CD, which is distracting me like a mofo, but I shall look over your e-mail and reply tonight while I have the house to myself to read and listen to the rest of the Community commentaries.

DADT yaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Also, happy belated birthday all for YOU!

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU. I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE THIS REPEAL IS MY PRESENT FROM THE UNIVERSE.

[altri-uccelli.livejournal.com]

DADT REPEAL!!!!
I was a lazyass and took a nap and when I got up I checked lj before even checking the news and THIS!!!

Also, your observation about major awards events fills me with lustful, fangirly squee because the prospect of seeing Tom in black tie is asdf;ljasdlkjf \o/ \o/ \o/

Happy late birthday, bb :)

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

I AM JUST SO HAPPY WHERE ARE THE YOUTUBE VIDEOS I WANT THEM NOW.

omg. All of those pretty people in suits. omnomnom so excite.

[cherrybina.livejournal.com]

Tom in black tie

sljhglsgh NNNNNGH I CANNOT EVEN.

[blameitonmerlin.livejournal.com]

Good haul on the presents!! It is hard to have a birthday near xmas when you're in school, but I had a bunch of friends whose birthdays were all during the summer months, which is worse, so I couldn't get too sad.

I will send you some m/a screencaps when I get my head out of my butt, lol.

The reason I have seen the 1st two Twilight movies is because there are rifftrax for them both. I don't get it at all. But hey, whatever rolls the dice, right?

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

Yeah, and remember how hard it was to schedule a birthday party around that time? Sometimes I'd have to wait until February, it was effing ridonkulous.

ALSO GO STARE AT THAT PICTURE. IT WILL HELP WITH THE HEAD-BUTT-ECTOMY.

[keewick.livejournal.com]

Happy Belated Bday!

And that pic totally blew my mind, too!

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

UGH I NEED TO KNOW WHERE IT'S REALLY FROM.

[cherrybina.livejournal.com]

THAT PICTURE. JFC.

And yay to DADT getting repealed. SO EXCITING \o/

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

IIIIIIIIIII KNOW. I ALMOST WANT SOMEONE IN FANDOM WITH ZERO SENSE OF SHAME TO SEND IT TO THEM WITH A NOTE LIKE "GUYS, DO YOU SEE WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT?! LOOK AT THIS. LOOK. AT. THIS." AND CLEARLY THEY WILL LOOK AT THE PICTURE AND COLIN WILL BE ALL "HOLY SHIT WE'RE HOT" AND BRADLEY WILL BE ALL *SCOFF SCOFF* "I THINK WE COULD BE SO MUCH HOTTER" AND THEN THEY WILL MAKE OUT HAVE BABIES AND SEND FANDOM BACK A MASSIVE THANK YOU CARD.

RIGHT?!!??!

YAY GAY MILITARY PEOPLE! I AM SO EXCITEDDDD.

[viennajones.livejournal.com]

Glad you enjoyed your birthday <3 Especially if you had a streak of slighty disappointing ones. It's the same for me with new years eve. I can hardly remember a single time I enjoyed myself that night. There was a bit of (self induced) drama because of it this year, too, but now it's settled and I'm hopeful that it might just work out and be nice for once!

I CAN'T STOP STARING AT THAT PICTURE. I CAN'T. u sure this isn't them?

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

I know right? I always stay home on NYE and pretend it's a normal night.

SADLY IT IS NOT, BUT I'VE DECIDED IT IS.

[giselleslash.livejournal.com]

My aunt just called me and asked what she could get me for Xmas and I told her COMMUNITY S1 ON DVD BECAUSE I LOVE IT SOOOO. I can't wait to watch it and totally GEEK OUT with all the commentaries and extra features. And I actually don't mind Annie/Jeff but I'm ALL about Annie/Troy. OMG. LOVE THEM.

And that pic is verrrrry yummy, isn't it. The first time I saw it I was all GIMME GIMME OMG.

Glad you had a good b-day. I'm in sort of the same boat with the whole 'close to Xmas' thing, mine is Jan. 11th and I'd always get a bunch of Xmas/B-day presents and I'd always be, PRESENT FAIL!! At least mine is after the holidays so it wasn't too bad, but still. Booo.

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

OH MAN IT IS LIKE WHAT EVERY DVD SET SHOULD ASPIRE TO BE WHEN IT GROWS UP SRSLY.

skafjksldjf. That picture. Imma stare at it for a few more hours. And holy shit I wish I could see that in the flesh. HOTTTTTTTT.

I've always been SO JEALOUS of my sister. Her birthday is June 2. She gets presents every 6 months! I have to wait ALLLLL YEAR for them all at once!

[dollsome.livejournal.com]

CINQ AND A HALF: YES YOU ARE.

... okay, I know you aren't, you aren't at all. But they are one of those ships that I just can't unsee, just can't quit, just can't get off my hearts-in-eyes radar, so here I am being the crazy In Their Defense fangirl! I don't even ship them that much, in a way where I don't quite consider them one of 'my' pairings (... if that makes any sense at all), but I also believe in them with a BRIGHT RIGHTEOUS FIRE.

Evil embedding attack!!!!



(Does the 'Teenage Dream' song choice just make it seem skeezier? :D :D :D)

... mwa ha ha.

Anyway: happy late birthday, she-bro! ♥

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

I KNEW YOU WOULD OBJECT TO THAT.

Ugh, I'm sorry, sweetpea, but they to me are like brother and sister and man it ICKS ME OUT LIKE I CANNOT EVEN TELL YOU. Also! Teenage Dream, way before Glee stole it, has been my "Bradley and Colin happy in love with smitten hearts in their eyes" and you have stolen it and used it for incestuous evil to besmirch my comments. BLASPHEMY! I WILL FORGIVE YOU, THOUGH, BECAUSE I'M JUST THAT GOOD A PERSON.

omg, though, seriously, if you get one DVD set for yourself this Christmas get the Community one, Donald an Allison talk in one commentary about all their favorite youtube fanvids which they are apparently both TOTALLY ADDICTED TO and it's kind of the most amazing thing ever.

AND THANK YOU! If you were here I'd make up a secret handshake with you, that's how cool we are.

[copperiisulfate.livejournal.com]

oh my god, that picture.. ♥____♥ idc what anyone says. that's them. okay? okay.

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

IT IS THEM, AND THEN COLIN FALLS BACK AND TUGS BRADLEY DOWN ON TOP OF HIM AND BRADLEY'S HANDS ARE JUST EVERYWHERE AND COLIN IS HOLDING ON FOR DEAR LIFE AND THEY BOTH CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS ACTUALLY FINALLY HAPPENING AND LAKSJFLAKSJDFLKSJLKSJFDLKJSFLJKFS.

[phoenixacid.livejournal.com]

Omg, I didn't know you wanted Just the Way You Are! :DDDDD SAME BRAINZ.

ALSO THAT PIC IS WOAH. TOO BAD IT AIN'T THEM!!!! *pouts*

Hee:

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

AND YOUR VIDEO WAS SO GOOD FOR SCRATCHING MY ITCH. <3

[moonie]

re: HOLY MOTHER OF EDIT, OMFG! That picture has been sitting on my desktop for MONTHS and every now and then I'll look at it and flail like a crazy person because YES, YES THAT'S SO BRADLEY & COLIN. I cannot see it as anyone but them it's so PERFECT. The only way I could love that image more is if it turned out to be them for reals. SO MUCH LOVE.

[chibirhm.livejournal.com]

OMFG, I KNOW RIGHT?! SO LOVELY. I WISH IT WAS THEM SO HARD.

[sonicbookmark.livejournal.com]

I WILL GLADLY EXCEPT FIC AS A THANK YOU.

YES, YES, YES, YES, YES.

Should I watch Community? Pretty much all of my flist loves it, but I've yet to see a single episode.
