*blank look*

And continuing ice in Austin means again, work canceled.

Also, I'm officially bored out of my mind.

Going to--I dont' know. Rearrange the fridge or--God. I have no idea what to do now.

And I continue to repeat--it is *creepy* to see *ice* on the *ground*. And falling from the sky.

Normal people would use this time to write fic. *innocent*

[druidspell.livejournal.com]

You could write a Sunday episode tag, but make it so that Carson didn't die of... gods, do I really have to say it? an *shudders* exploding tumor.

They closed the SCHOOLS but not my OFFICE. *peeved face* If they make me burn a sick day to cover this, I will be quite put out.

*proceeds to hide from spoilers*

Hey, at least you get to stay home. They opened the offices at 11, so I spent over an hour: 1) stringing outdoor extension cords out to my car to 2) run the blowdryer so I could 3) get my key in the lock and 4) melt some of the 3/4" of ice off my door so I could open it and start the heater running so that I could then spend forty minutes 5) chipping enormous sheets of ice off my windows so I could then go to work. Only to find that about half of our group showed up (this does not include either team lead, of course). I would have stayed home except I would have had to burn vacation hours to do so.

Though on the plus side I am out of my house and speaking to other human beings, which hadn't happened for a while...

If you're not feeling the writing joy, would you be interested in helping me poke at a story until it moves along?

[batdina.livejournal.com]

you could write?

A friend of mine works at Dell in Austin. He came in to work at 11am Sunday. He's STILL there. I'm not sure if it's because he can't get out or they can't get the "next" shift in, but yeah. His OT is gonna be incredible.

OR you could go read THIS story, as featured just now on storyfinders:

This story is in McKay's point of view, where he goes through the motions (almost appears autistic at times) of life when he is shunned. He loses weight; lemon chicken is served regularly in the commissary. Members of Atlantis finally start treating him better, and eventually Sheppard. McKay points out that Sheppard had a reason to be annoyed at him, but in fact his treatment at the hands of the other members of Atlantis was unfair and Sheppard, through inaction, had endorsed it and that was intolerable.

SHUNNED. APPEARS AUTISTIC. LEMON CHICKEN. SHEPPARD ENDORSING SHUNNING.

That story is where angels are born, Jenn.

When that popped up on the flist I opened it up in a new tag. I CAN"T WAIT.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

*smiles in satisfaction*

Ladycat wrote it. I read that one.

[logovo.livejournal.com]

*cries*

[ltlj.livejournal.com]

*cries too* I want to write a story where the real Rodney goes to the world of crying autistic lemon chicken shunned Rodney, and he's so appalled at this idiotic behavior, he shuns him too.

I want a Trinity drinking game one day. That ep's fic deserves one. God. The entire freaking badfic *domain* could lead us to alcohol poisoning.

Hmm.

One day, I want to make a badfic drinking game. It would go like this:

One shot every time Rodney cries.
Two shots when it's because of his love for John.
Chug if it's during sex.
ER visit required if its when he bottoms.

*thinking* I think Trinity fic would end in alcohol poisoning for us all.

[aurora]

Oh, oh, bonus drinks if the story features a John POV and it's KILLING him to act this way towards Rodney. Emoness ensues.

SPECIAL bonus drinks for song!fic and use of ~~.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

I need alcohol just to *think* about it.

*giggling*

[ltlj.livejournal.com]

There was one where Rodney refused to put up the shields on the city unless everyone, especially John, apologized to him. And I was thinking, and then he was sent back to Earth to be charged with treason and attempted mass murder and spend the rest of his life in prison, the end.

Reading that much Trinity fic, I think we'd welcome alcohol poisoning.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

*gaping*

*dies laughing*

I know you aren't kidding, either.

That gets a special drinking category *right there*.

[loligo.livejournal.com]

Judging from the storyfinder queries, there's a correlation between eccentric spelling & grammar and fondness for abused Rodney stories. I especially like the one where Rodney finds solace with "Javanaugh".

[ltlj.livejournal.com]

Yes, that was hilarious! Dr. Javanaugh, who has appeared on many episodes in the version of the show airing in the Bizarro World.

[loligo.livejournal.com]

Javanaugh! Rodney is repulsed by his personality, but attracted by his seductive coffee flavor!

- or -

Javanaugh! The pairing nickname favored by the many, many, many John/Kavanaugh fans! So really, that story request was about a threesome.

We had a BLIZZARD in Vancouver. With HURRICANE WINDS. This winter is so wtf, I don't even understand it.
TEXAS DOES NOT GET COLD, GOD. Read the memo, honestly.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

I KNOW. JESUS WTF IS WITH THE FREAKING WEATHER? THERE ARE ICICLES OFF THE ROOF. ICILES. ROOF. I cannot even begin to describe the weirdness.

[eternallycait.livejournal.com]

THIS IS RIDICULOUSLY RANDOM. Are people piling up on the roads? On the first day of snow I counted 47 accidents on the way to work - a 40 minute drive which took TWO AND A HALF HOURS

[eternallycait.livejournal.com]

AND ALSO. I work at an constituency office and people are phoning to complain about the snow. The fact that it is snowing. What?

I don't like this. I don't like this at all.

[seperis.livejournal.com]

*collapses laughing*

YOU ARE KIDDING!

[seperis.livejournal.com]

Yep. Abandoned cars, accidents, *everywhere*.

[logovo.livejournal.com]

These are the leisure hours that give birth to not only fic (though fic? also of the good) but a new fandom to love! You must download something or watch it on YouTube. Do it for us, do it for the poor fen stuck at work! Let us live through you!

[madmaxmaddison.livejournal.com]

I got to work before they shut down the campus. I'm grateful for the brain cells I saved by working a half day, but I lost ego points when I bought it, big time, right in front of the only other person crazy enough to brave the ice and try to get to his office today. Empty campus, except for me, and him, and I was flat on my ass.

[vickita.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the only kind of ice I like to see on the ground is ice that's been dumped out of a cooler at the end of the weekend.

[firesprite1105.livejournal.com]

Dude, I hear you. I've spent the last two days organizing my por--er, fanfic-- and I am BORED OUT OF MY FREAKING MIND.

The only thing left to amuse me is cooking the bacon in my freezer on an anemic hot plate that won't even boil water, and I am HOLDING OUT because that is just pathetic!

[mz-bstone.livejournal.com]

Dude. There's always fic.

The Alamo Drafthouse is open if you feel safe to go. Various and dundry coffeeshops are open too.
