shit kenzi says

As you can all probably tell, I can post from work I just can't do a lot of other things like read my f-list. You win some, you lose some.

So, I put up a meme things last week where I offered to answer three questions about my stories. Both hiyacynth and dodger_sister asked for more about my Ron stories All Stories End and Burn My Sins Away. So here are three bits of background/head canon and one deleted scene.

I am feeling ridiculously spammy today. I blame living alone and feeling healthy, it gives me way too much time to sit around and bother you people.

First off, I finally re-started my Buffy season two rewatch. It sure has taken me long enough. ( Surprise - Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered )

Only 6 more eps to go!

A couple days ago hiyacynth and I were discussing ComicCon and how we had no money to fly out to San Diego to attend. We eventually convinced ourselves that we'd be too embarrassed anyway so it was probably a good idea that we couldn't go and make fools of ourselves. And we probably wouldn't like it anyway. Then, today I somehow found her convincing me to go to some Buffy/Supernatural con in Chicago in November. What was I thinking? My fannish life and my real life can't collide like that! I'll turn beet-red and make a fool of myself in front of Jared, I KNOW I WILL! *deep breaths* It's okay, it will all be okay. You're going to be a lawyer. You can do this. At least we're doing this together. *deep breaths*

So you know that scene in OotP (the movie) where Harry sees Sirius and Remus framed in the kitchen doorway and they have their arms around each other? I am fairly confident that it's proof that Oldman and Thewlis have reached the same conclusion as the majority of fandom re: Remus/Sirius.

Speaking of, did Remus actually say anything during the entire movie? I'm not entirely sure he did. That's unfortunate.

I just spent time staring at the spn_remix community before deciding I have enough to write and I can't let myself get distracted by challenges. I can't even gather up the gumption to finish stories I've been thinking about for months, I certainly shouldn't be making commitments to anything else.

Thanks to baylorsr I've been thinking about John Winchester as Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. He'd be a terror. And he might possibly be Harry's favorite DADA prof ever.

Come on, brain. This is the second week in a row you've forgotten to take the soda cans back when you've gone grocery shopping. You know as well as I do that bottle return = money. Get with the program.

Well then, let's move this away from my short-term memory problems to some more Buffy s.2 ( Reptile Boy - The Dark Age )

I came up with the greatest law-nerd fic disclaimer last night. It's superb:

( Disclaimer )

I am so using that on all of my stories from now on.

I updated my SPN fic recommendations over the weekend. Check 'em out.

Off to complete the Monday chores, which include giving the Pup a bath. Fun times in my apartment, let me tell you what.

For those of you who weren't aware Burn My Sins Away has a subtle Buffy the Vampire Slayer crossover in part 3. That has had my brain thinking ever since and whenever hiyacynth and I talk about it crack is spawned involuntarily.

( The Magical Politics of HP and BtVS )

In other news I had felafel for lunch and it was delicious.

Well, the world didn't end last week, though it sort of felt like it might. If nothing else the national events of the past week have convinced me that I have to get out there and do something to effect change both in my community and in the nation. I need to volunteer and I am very tempted to run for political office. I just need to do something to change the future that I fear is coming.

However, I took the weekend to recuperate. Shoot, I even called in sick last Thursday and then I spent the weekend watching the Buffy the Vampire Slayer season one dvd set that I recently acquired. Oh my gosh, there is nothing more theraputic then watching BtVS, even though season one was, on the whole, not nearly as good as seasons 2 and 3 were. And, just for the record, I am completely in love with Giles, it was inevitable and if I had been 25 instead of 18 when I had first watched the show I'm sure my adoration would have been cemented back then. I was getting rather possessive, it was kind of cute in a creepy way and included a litany of 'Back off bitch, he's mine!' everytime Jenny Calender came on screen. Hee

And may I just say, for the record, that the Buffy/Angel relationship is extremely boring and I care about it as much as I care about Jack/Kate on Lost, which is to say not at all. Blah blah blah.

I also accomplished much knitting over the weekend and completed the knitting bag that I sewed together from an old Mickey Mouse t-shirt. TV and knitting, the great panacea of all the world's ills.
