i'll say one thing for my job. it's air conditioned. alxamdulilaah. weather.com tells me we're going to 88 today. and still humid. ugh. i think i'm going to hibernate until fall. see ya!

oh, how i wish.

also, how badly do i need an icon overhaul? wicked badly. some of these are so old i can't even remember when they came about. only one is recent. it's craziness.

nnng. what the hell is today's challenge going to be? decisions, decisions...

TextSlash

ok, i have no idea where this will go, but i'm just going to throw it out there:

TextSlash 14: slash the slashers!

as usual, my rules are so loose they can hardly be called rules. you can slash people who are on lj who aren't really slashers. you can slash a slasher with, like, her own husband. you can write gen featuring a slasher. whatever, whoever. just go at it.

***NEW ADDITION TO THE SPIEL: this was camillafarfalla's brilliant suggestion from last night. you may or may not realize that it takes quite some time to type all these up and make the poll etc. which i do happily, for love of the textsalsh. but it would make my life approximately 1,000 times easier if, when you send the text, you either post a copy anonymously to this post or send it to me at phineasjones at livejournal dot com. then, instead of all that typing, i can copy and paste. brilliant, camilla! (this also is not a rule. if it takes too long for you or whatever, no worries.)

spiel: up to 145 characters, sent to me by text message today between 8:30 and 5 est. if it doesn't automatically say it's from you, put your name (or some variation recognizable to me) in the little box. and for the love of god, people, DON'T PASTE FROM WORD. it doesn't work. and to be cautious, it may be best to avoid apostrophe use. i'll fill them in when i post them here, not to worry.

and...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY holdenrevisited!!!

and also, a happy noho-versary to starbuckle and annelarissa.

oh. i have had a shitty, shitty day. not without its good parts, but generally? shitty. let's just say it involved a talking-to from santa that resulted in me hiding in the bathroom so no one would see my tears of humiliated frustration. and leave it at that. oh, and rage. they were also tears of rage.

much different from the tears of laughter which came forth when reading today's textslash entries. those were much nicer.

also, today involved a conversation about lotr with junior. he was like 'you like that?' and i was like, 'yo, i'm a total freak about it.' and he cocked his head to the side and said, 'you don't look like a lord of the rings freak.' i think i'm going to have to decide to take that as a compliment, no offense to other lord of the rings freaks intended. but then he revealed that he loved the movies and saw them many time and has a bit of a liv tyler thing. cute.

and i had to actually work all day and had no time for slashy fun.

and i read more details about the lotr symphony and omg, i'm gonna pass out from excitement. ::passes out:: see?

TextSlash 14: slash the slashers!

today's few, strong, proud text slash authors are starbuckle, scottxwl, jjtaylor, annecatherine and fuschia.

many of these are somewhat in joke-ish. to be a nice lady, i will explain the in-jokes at the end of the entry.

thanks to camillafarfalla for the suggestion and to all who e-mailed me the texts. so much easier.

1. It was Halloween. starbuckle was Jack Sparrow; camillafarfalla was Will
Turner. They would later say the characters just "took over." by scottxwl

2. Elitist Fic Bitch & Bitter Old Fandom Queen watched in amusement as Pollyanna DoGooder pleaded her threesome case. 'It's for the good of the fandom!' by annecatherine

3. phineasjones and annelarissa looked at each other with amazement. Their singing had never caused THAT to happen before. "Did you...?" "Did you?" "Wow." by scottxwl

4. "I could've sworn I was a lesbian" said mmm_cake. "I'm going to have to leave you" Blane said. "But what about Prom?!" Cake woke up screaming. by scottxwl

5. "hominidj, I have something to tell you. I am in fact not your Secret-Girlfriend-Jennifer-Garner." She ripped off her mask. "I am madmadharri!" by scottxwl

6. "harrimad, I am not really hominidj! I am Billy Boyd!" He ripped off a mask. "Billy?!" "Well, not really." He removed another mask. "I'm Hominid." by scottxwl

7. holdenrevisited and wildgreentide sat on the couch amongst their 312 cats. "When do you think we actually became a couple?" "Probably around 2005." by scottxwl

8. madmadharri looked into harrimad_sol's eyes. "I feel like I've known you all
my life" she whispered in her ear. Then the two became one. by scottxwl

9. when luna finally got up the nerve to show ginny what she had been writing, she laughed; ginny had been writing, too. "we're both slashers!" by starbuckle

10. The slash girls danced, even when they bowled, and from the sidelines, she imagined dancing with each in succession, hip to rolling hip. by fuschia

11. Faith was shirtless and reclining on the couch. There was chocolate everywhere. "It's not what it looks like," phineasjones said, licking a finger. by jjtaylor

12. starbuckle smoothed down her shirt as her co-worker came into the stockroom and asked, "Um, was that Orlando who just ran out the front door?" by jjtaylor
