( questions! )


IN OTHER NEWS: I am almost almost almost done with this quarter. Spring break starts Tuesday night for me, with a flight home. \o/ I'm excited. I just gotta get through a final exam today, then that's basically it! Besides just going to the last couple classes. Also, a play I wrote is going to be performed on my school's radio station on Sunday night. I'll have more details about that soon, if you'd like to tune in. :)

I wrote two (sadly very short) things for monaboyd_month! I really wish I'd had time to finish something longer, but omg, this month has been crazy. Perhaps I'll be able to finish the longer ficlet I had in mind in time for free-for-all day. :D?

Both are Billy/Dom, obviously. They're both pretty short, too, under 1000 words each. Here are the links:

Midnight - Who's kissing at midnight?

Movie Night - Billy gets one of Dom's packages in the mail by mistake.


I drove my sis (and mom) down to Albany, OR yesterday, and I got to sleep with the cutest little yorkie ever last night, and my mom and I stopped at Powell's on the way back home today, which was great. Also in Portland: people were filming the tv show Leverage. O.O!! We hung out at a bakery and tried to stake it out but we couldn't see much. The PA we talked to was super cute, though. Also I might get the PA gig on the music video Kat's working on, which would be GREAT because they would pay me. It interferes with the tentative dates Kevin's setting, but if I get the job maybe that can change a little. Also, I have an interview with Shilo tomorrow. :| If all of this works out, I will be suuuuper busy this summer.

I am tired and I've got a snuggly dog to sleep with tonight, and I'm going to stop looking up things about extreme body mod. O____o

title: Cuffs
pairing: Dominic Monaghan/Frank Iero (lotrips/bandom crossover)
rating: R
words: 700
warning: handcuffs
summary: “What do you get out of it?” he asks, giving the cuff a gentle tug.
disclaimer: I don't own these boys, and I don't think they've ever even met in real life.
a/n: This is a little ficlet in my totally self-indulgent Dom/Frank universe. For those on either side of the fandom divide that don't know: this is Frank, and this is Dominic. For the purposes of this ficlet, you should know that Dom almost always wears cuffs, bracelets, or bands around his wrists. I have a fair amount of this universe actually written, but I keep forgetting that I haven't posted it. This ficlet was written for the kinkbingo square of "bondage (wrist restraints)".


( Cuffs )

I love Dom. There's some times in interviews when I just want to say OH SHUT UP, but I get that way with Gerard, too. Anyway, the point of this is that there were more pictures posted yesterday of Dom wearing those skeleton gloves, and in this interview that somebody linked to, he rambles on and on about.... idk, having sex at age 14 (Dom, you slut! I love my canon. For both fandoms.) and stuff, and that he really likes weird animals and has scorpions.

Now I really just want this kind of self-indulgant sort-of-AU where things are basically the same as they are now, with Dom jetting around doing various movies and shows, and MCR on tour and everything like normal, but Dom and Frank have this kind of casual, sometimes-long-distance, long-term relationship. Where Frank buys several pairs of skeleton gloves and Dom steals a couple before Frank cuts off the fingertips. And when they got together, Dom was obsessed with scorpions and that's why Frank got that tattoo. And he doesn't keep spiders anymore because it's the one thing Frank can't get over, and he's still a bit sketchy on the bugs. And Frank and Dom sometimes jam on their guitars at home and Dom is pretty much awful and it doesn't really sink in when Frank tries to teach him things, but they don't even care, they just laugh about it. And Dom, of course, goes out to a few shows, but he likes spending time with all the guys at the studio more than at the crazy venues, and Frank goes to the premiere of the XMen movie with Gerard and Mikey because they're nerds and he meets up with Dom once they're all inside and not in front of the cameras. And they've both gone through dubious facial hair phases, and they both like getting tattoos (Frank, obviously, a little bit more than Dom...) I MIGHT JUST HAVE TO WRITE THIS. SHUT UP AND DEAL.

ETA because I keep thinking of things. All the guys tease Frank a lot for dating the guy from Lord of the Rings, seriously, but they're all petty much geeking out anyway, and Gerard tries really hard not to act like a complete dork when Frank brings Dom over the first time. And Dom hangs out backstage and meets people and networks like crazy, because he's kind of like Mikeyway in that he makes friends with everybody and then remembers them later. And they play pranks together whenever Dom's out on tour with MCR, and sometimes they get Bob and even Gerard to help, because Gerard and Dom get to be really good friends who can geek out over Star Wars until Frank's ears bleed.

I believe a few of you know of my sudden and increasing love for My Chemical Romance, but that's not been the only reason for my LJ absence lately (though it has contributed). I've actually been really busy these past few weeks, with midterms and my boyfriend coming down for a visit, and Halloween (which is apparently a huge deal here at SCAD. It goes on for like, a week before and after the 31st, in all seriousness), not to mention my continued battle over transfer credits with the admissions people.

Classes are going pretty well, and I've registered for next quarter already (Color Theory, Art History II, and Public Speaking), but because they're so project-based, it takes a lot of time to do homework. It has been pretty awesome having art projects as homework, though, I must admit. Class was cancelled yesterday, and my entire hall was so happy about it... We all slept in, and I slept for ELEVEN HOURS. It was amazing. I've been staying up far too late and waking up far too early lately.

There's also some drama going on with my friends, mostly involving my roommate and her now-ex-boyfriend, and Mike's immaturity with drinking and drugs getting my my nerves. Other than that, though, I've been getting closer to some of the people I really like, and I don't feel like as much of an outsider, which is definitely a good feeling. I spent all yesterday with one of my roommates, and that was really fun. We get along really well, even though we're so different.

In fandom news, I'm now obsessed with My Chem, after a looooong period of me resisting bandom and half of my f-list falling hard for it. So now I've fallen hard, oh so hard. I've been reading some amazing fics, watching youtube religiously, and even writing bandom fic. I've also signed up for slashababy, and I'm nowhere near abandoning lotrips, so don't worry about that. I'm still just as in love with Dom as I ever was, although I do wish I could see some of what he's been working on recently. I got used to seeing him almost every week during Lost, and now all these movies and things are in various stages of production and not even getting wide-releases... *sigh* I just miss him. Which kind of explains me falling in love with Gerard, Frank, and Mikey, I guess.

So basically, the point of this post is: I'm sorry I've disappeared from LJ so much. I'm still reading, but not commenting, which is bad of me, and I'm sooooorry. I don't like being non-posty, I like posting a lot, but I really haven't had time to sit down and write a real post. I haven't even had time to write in my physical journal. But I'm going home in two weeks, and once I get back home, I'm going to be bored out of my mind. And probably posting a lot. So be prepared. :D In the meantime, I love you all, sorry again for not commenting, and I will talk to you soon. ♥

first order of business, THIS SONG OMG. I've had it stuck in my head since this morning. and this girl, Brandi Carlile, is from where my friend lives. HOW AWESOME? but omg, yes, this song, I AM IN LOVE WITH IT. I'll upload it if anyone wants it, but not right now, 'cause I'm about to go to bed.

ok, next up: DOM LOVES BILLY, IT IS OFFICIAL. LOL I HAVE NO WORDS. I'm just in a prolonged state of fangirl squee.

school-wise - ONE FINAL DOWN, ONE TO GO. I studied for a lot of the weekend, and I took six fucking pages (graph paper pages, not normal pages) of notes, TWO of which were just vocabulary. but the final went well, I think, and there were sections of it that I was 100% confidant about, so that was very nice indeed. unfortunately, during that time, I didn't even touch physics, so now I have all of a day to go over that.

OH. we have a bunny. my sister's fostering her for the humane society, and her original name was SMIPPLES (yes, you read that right). the first thing the people said? CHANGE HER NAME, PLEASE, OMG. 'cause no one could read it right, or figure out how to pronounce it. we're now calling her Lyla, and she's adorable and soft and weighs more than one of the dogs (Peanut). LOL Peanut's a bit nervous about her, but okay with her; Dazzle's scared out of her mind (we think she's seen Monty Python/Holy Grail too many times, LOL), and Popcorn either HATES her or is just completely freaked out. Lyla nearly gave Dazzle a heart attack when she first got here: Dazzle came in and jumped on the bed and saw this movement out of the corner of her eye and she was like OMGWTFBUNNYRABBIT?!!!?!?!?!!!?! and she's been hiding under my desk a lot now. LOL *pets her*

( spoilers for... Project Runway S4 Finale, Biggest Loser Couples (tonight's episode), and Lost - the one about Jin and Sun )

and THE RICHES IS BACK TONIGHT. WILL WATCH IT TOMORROW.

OH, and I had something to post about my Italian class, but I'll save that for later, since it's kinda long and I've already talked about A TON of things. OH, and I wanted talk more about The Other Boleyn Girl, and the second one, and... oh what else? OH RIGHT, King Arthur and my Sex & Sexuality textbook. LATER, THOUGH.

OH ALSO, I can't wait for ScriptFrenzy. I WANNA START NOW. question: would you guys wanna read it as I write/when I finish? it's weird formatting and stuff if you're not used to it. and I'd have to figure out a way to post it, 'cause last time I tried, LJ just erased all the formatting.

OKAY NOW I'M RAMBLING. BEDTIME. ...oh and, FIRST this weekend. unfortunately, I don't think the SeaTac tournament will be simulcast, otherwise I'd link you to it, but if it is, I'll let you know. it's very cool.

So, I'm writing again. (obviously). The Dom/Viggo fic I started forever ago (which was supposed to be short), is nearing completion. \o/ I still have about a million things in my WIP folder, and more written longhand in my writing notebook, but... I'll get to them eventually. I'm feeling better about writing lately, so it'll happen. (I don't think I had writer's block, really; just... finishing block? LOL I started about a gazillion new fics....)

The problem with three day weekends is that on Sunday, it feels like a normal weekend. So here I am on Monday, scrambling to get things done. Well, not really scrambling but... putting more effort in than usual. I have an Italian presentation on Thursday, which I'm researching now. Oh god. It's going to be crap. And I'm not bringing enough food for the class. Although... focaccia bread is a specialty of Liguria, and it's really good... great, now I'm hungry. Anyway, I'm outlining it and everything in English, which means I still have to translate it. *sigh*

My registration for next quarter is like, next Monday. (AND SPEAKING OF, DOM'S GONNA BE ON CRAIG AGAIN. I THINK. FTW.) Anyway, there's a couple options, most of them in psychology or sociology.

( possible courses for next quarter )

Oh, and a side note about robotics: TONY WON FIRST PLACE & CHAIRMAN'S AWARD IN FTC AT THE TENNESSEE REGIONAL. FUCK YES. QUALIFIED FOR NATIONALS. FUCK. YES. *\o/* He called me up, and I said hi, and I didn't even remember that he was at the competition, and he just said "We, uh. We won." LOL WOOOOO!!! IT'S ABOUT FUCKING TIME. He totally deserves it. His team (and mine too, actually; just in FLL and not FTC, 'cause we only did that once) got ROBBED a few years in a row. Stupid judge bastards. ANYWAY.

On top of all that crap, I need to finish my portfolio. Now that I have 10 pics picked out, I need my sis to take super-awesome photos of them, to show detail and everything, and I still need to finish about 2 of them. Also, I was gonna put in a few writing samples. Any suggestions on that? Is there anything I've written that's just, like, completely awesome? I was thinking about maybe the intro to Citadel, before I introduce the characters. But that's all I can think of off the top of my head...

Hmm, okay, I think that's quite enough seriousness for now. *nod nod* Off you go.

Raquel just posted transcripts of our post-Dom on the Late Late Show chat. instead of reposting all that, I'll just link you to hers.

GO HERE FOR THE INSANITY

omg we are so insane. ;D

and we're also recruiting members for a future Dom/Craig community, btw. LOL

PS: apparently I hadn't made an insanejournal yet, only a greatestjournal. anyway, now I'm on both of those, both with the name silentdescant, so friend me there if you'd like.

um, see subject line. *SO HAPPY OMFG*

YAY

SRSLY

*BOUNCES*

OMG I AM IMPATIENT. IT IS SEVEN IN THE MORNING. CRAP. well, at least it's brightened my day. 

eta: okay, um, TOMORROW NIGHT, because THE GUIDE LIES. Craig was awesome, though, and there was a bit about leather, so that was good. I love him lots. :D
