May. 12th, 2010 03:37 pm::sigh:: I am just in a MOOD today.
Toby woke up with a wet bed, which was strike one. I had to give him a bath, and then I couldn't find Trevor's shoes ANYWHERE, and we had to take Toby to preschool. I tossed a very angry Trevor in the car, having to listen to "sneakers ON! sneakers ON!" for half the ride there. (He wasn't getting out of the car. It really didn't matter.) Came home, made the dough for the tarts I'm making, and called a friend.
Friend and I haven't gotten together much recently, so we decided to take our crews to Chik-Fil-A for lunch. It's the only place in our town with an indoor playground, and it's raining. The kids were fine, but after lunch, when they were playing in the indoor playground, an entire class of... I don't know, seven or eight year olds? showed up and invaded. The playground is small, the kids were big, and there was no adult supervision. The kids were at that age where they naturally aren't considerate of the little guys, I guess, and my friend and they had no adult supervision. Friend and I were eying our guys carefully, but I nearly lost it when the rough-housing kids pushed back and caught Trevor's head in between them and the bar. OUCH. And then they started actively kicking and punching each other. GREAT.
Needless to say, we went to her house. :P
Got home, took the tart shells out of the pan... or tried to, anyway. Some of them came out fine. Others stuck. So now I need to remake them. GREAT. And I'm trying to work on my remix pinch hit, but have the unfortunate problem of the song that I'm using as a working (and possibly end) title just going through my head.
Gah. I'd like to do a meme or something, but I probably shouldn't distract myself too badly from what I'm meant to be writing. Anyone up for a round of marry, frak, cliff or something? :)
Here. I'll start with the leading man version: Lee Adama, Harry Potter as an adult, Jack Shepherd.

Date: 2010-05-12 09:23 pm (UTC)Marry Dee, definitely. Dee is awesome.
Hmmm. Given Claire in Season 6, I'm going to go with frak Lily and cliff Claire :P
The villain version!
Dolores Umbridge, John Cavil, and Sylar!
no subject
Date: 2010-05-12 09:54 pm (UTC)Oh god, uuuuuh.... D: I would normally say frak Sylar, because he terrifies me but MROW, but... with these other options, gonna have to say I'm marrying him. At least he's occassionally sane.
The other two.... uuurgh. I guess if I have no choice I'll frak Cavil and cliff Umbridge. I was literally swearing and yelling at Book Five almost every scene she was in. My mom was making lunch when I got to the part she kicked the boys off the quidditch team, and she stared at me and the fit I was throwing and asked what was wrong. "I'M READING HARRY POTTER IT'S VERY UPSETTING." So yeah... frakking Cavil because I want Umbridge cliffed. Pure pragmatics.

Date: 2010-05-13 12:49 am (UTC)But Lily is admittedly awesome as well. But I think I could beat up Lee before I could beat up James.
no subject
Date: 2010-05-13 12:57 am (UTC)Dee's choice of partners sucks too hard. I'd forever worry about what that says about me.
Lily, on the other hand, would die for my child. Now that's dating material.
no subject
Date: 2010-05-12 10:12 pm (UTC)Easy! First, I'd kill Harry Potter. (I have no problem with Harry for the first three books. I started having problems with him in four and five, and six and seven cemented my hatred for Harry Potter, Albus Dumbledore, the dumbosity of Voldemort and Memory Charms for ALL TIME.)
And I would be very very sure he was dead. Since I can't cast Petrificus Totalus, I'd load him down with shackles, manacles and chains. And a Hannibal Lecter face mask so that he couldn't speak any spells. And then I'd set fire to his wand and his broom. And then I'd throw him off of a cliff.
Once Harry Potter was dead, beheaded, had had a stake driven through his heart and was cremated--I consider these reasonable precautions after Dumbledore died in Book Six and still managed to show up in Book 7--I would frak Jack. Strictly a one-night stand BEFORE he crashed on the island, because the Island on Lost is one place I never want to get stuck.
And then I'd marry Lee Adama, because while he's not perfect, he sounds like a decent if complicated man.
Dolores Umbridge, John Cavil, and Sylar!
This one is EASY.
Sylar = killed. Come on, he's a serial killer who can absorb anyone's powers and who eats brains. I would not toss him off a cliff, though, because canonically that would not kill him. I'll dump him in a black hole. Between the pressure of gravity and the effects of time dilation, he should stay dead.
John Cavil = Frak. I wouldn't like his cruelty but I can put up with the Machiavellian mind for one night.
Dolores Umbridge = Marry. The wedding ceremony would be followed IMMEDIATELY by my flying to Tijuana or Reno to get a quickie divorce. (Being married doesn't mean you have to STAY married.)

Date: 2010-05-12 11:48 pm (UTC)Sirius, Remus, Felix.
no subject
Date: 2010-05-12 11:58 pm (UTC)D: D: D: This is the worst list maybe ever! Um. Um. Marry Felix- it can be a group marriage and we can invite as many other people as we want. Like Dee and Hoshi... sorry, got distracted. But to make me choose between Remus and Sirius??? I guess I have to say frak Sirius, since I feel like he'd be better at it, but the idea of cliffing Remus makes me D: Can werewolves survive that sort of fall??
no subject
Date: 2010-05-13 12:48 am (UTC)Honestly with that list I'd probably marry Sirius if you presume marriage also includes frakking. Don't know about the other two.
no subject
Date: 2010-05-13 12:56 am (UTC)Cliff Remus. I really think he kind of led Tonks on a bit (either that or he's AMAZING in bed and Tonks was pining for a year because of that), and he's a whiner. For all that other parts of fandom paint Gaeta as a whiner, he's not, and neither is Sirius. If this was pre-book 6/7, I wouldn't have said this, but I don't know that I can deal with Remus's PA bullshit.
Um, fix Sirius and Felix up instead? :) No? Okay. Hmmm.
Both carry around unearned guilt. Both can get grumpy and bitchy. Both of them are essentially soldiers. Both of them rebelled against the old guy leading their side and they both had valid points. Both of them are faithful (at least, assuming that there's adequate oxygen.) Both of them are super smart. Assuming we can get Sirius cleaned up enough, both of them are good looking enough.
Sirius has no canon romance. Felix has a might-as-well-be-canon-we-all-know-it THING with Baltar. I think I'll marry Sirius because he has less romantic baggage and frak Felix.
How about... a Disney version! Cinderella, Snow White, and Sleeping Beauty. HA! :)

Date: 2010-05-13 12:58 am (UTC)Sirius would be the one yelling, "Accio Brooooooooooom!"
no subject
Date: 2010-05-12 10:44 pm (UTC)Frak Lee, marry Harry, Jack Shepherd dies. Harry seems screwed up but that's what therapists are for.
Lily Evans, Dee, and Claire Littleton.
Marry Lily, frak Dee, and cliff Claire. Seriously, Lily's intelligent & hot, seems nice, if somewhat self-sacrificing sort.
Dolores Umbridge, John Cavil, and Sylar
Given the difficulty in effectively and permanently cliffing either Cavil or Sylar and Umbridge's general viciousness, I'm going with cliffing Umbridge as most likely to generally improve both the gene pool and civilization in a hopefully permanent fashion. Marry or frak the genocidal bad tempered maniac or the homicidal crazy manic? I'll frak Sylar and marry Cavil; I can have more interesting fights with Cavil.
The Harry Potter minor character version:
Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood, Lavender Brown.
no subject
Date: 2010-05-13 01:08 am (UTC)Marry Neville. He's loyal, he's brave, he's smart, he's kind. Frak Luna. She's funny and entertaining and good, but I think her way of thinking would wear on me too much. Lavender can be cliffed.
Kaylee Frye, Racetrack, and an adult Ginny Weasley

Date: 2010-05-13 03:56 am (UTC)That's it? ;-) Well, with that choice...marry Lee, frak Harry, cliff Jack.
Hmm, how about: Priya, Cally, and adult!Hermione.
