Calendar girl, who's in love with the world; stay alive

COMMENT TO BE ADDED*
all fic is public, all else is locked.
 
behind the f-lock you may find: rambling and ranting and raving about my life, funny incidents that probably aren't as funny on screen as they are when they happened, various music posts that may appear from time to time (Ben Gibbard will invariably feature since I think his awesome knows no bounds); reasons why Joss is Boss, why I should have been born in 1940, why vinyl pwns all other forms of music (but that the advent of the mp3 does make me happy), why my geek love for Michael Cera is unrivalled, why Mike Newton is awesome, why most Michaels (fictional or no) are made of win; much spammage due to the discovery of new fandoms, episode commentaries or season roundups, detailed episodic posts concerning the latest events in Friday Night Lights, fangirling beyond belief; posts on how much I want to be Blair Waldorf but will settle for Maeby Funke, how deeply envious I am of Inara Serra's hair, how my wardrobe isn't even distinctly normal (22 skirts, red nails and I never wear flats folks), mentions of baking extravaganzas and the fact that I'd totally make the best housewife ever; posts concerning the hotness of James MacAvoy, Jason Bateman, the boys of FNL, Battlestar Galactica and Supernatural, Kyle Chandler and Nathan Fillion's magnificent hair; explanatory posts detailing my obsession with John Cusack and any film he is involved in, attempts to analyse film resulting in conclusions of - it's so pretty, love for films of all kinds in all languages, how music is probably the best thing that can happen to someone.

me, myself & i:
I'm a young woman with a huge imagination and the capacity to talk endlessly even when no-one is listening. I believe in equal opportunity for all genders, races, sexualities and ages. I am a feminist. I am not political (except for the part where I am). I am pro-choice: a woman's body is her own and no-one has the right to take away her choices; this is non-negotiable. I believe in being prepared and that abstinence-only education results only in dangerous ignorance. I do not believe in God, but I have infinite respect for those that do. I believe that you have your opinions and I have mine. Some would call me a pessimist, narcissist, hopeless romantic but more often it’s cynic. (In fact, it’s me.)

If this interests you in any shape, manner or form, comment. Tell me a little about yourself. We'll work something out.

*if you don't comment on this post, I won't add you.

i’ll never say a lot of things (and you my love are gone)
Jo’s imagination has never stopped running, not when it comes to Laurie.
Little Women, (Jo/Laurie) PG, 3375 words
notes: for [info]falseeeyelashes . so, this took about forever, and I’m still a little unsure about it because hi! It’s Louisa May Alcott and she’s difficult to fic for. Also, Jo/Laurie was my very first OTP I’m sure. I'm pretty sure that this will eventually have a companion part, from Laurie's point of view that picks up half way through here and ends sometime in their future.

the wedding reception
songs for dancing to in front of friends and family, out on a dancefloor. aka the beginnings of my wedding playlist.

1. Enchanted; Patrick Wolf
2. I've Got You Under My Skin; Frank Sinatra (w. Cole Porter and Nelson Riddle & his Orchestra)
3. For Once In My Life; Vonda Shepard
4. Grow Old With Me; Ben Gibbard (John Lennon cover)
5. Nothing Like You & I; the Perishers
6. How Deep Is Your Love?; The Bird And The Bee
7. Wicked Game; Chris Isaak
8. Jean Genie; David Bowie
9. All My Loving; The Beatles
10. Love Action (I Believe in Love); The Human League
11. Apartment Story; The National
12. Flux; Bloc Party
13. What I'm Trying To Say; Stars
Bonus: Gold; Spandau Ballet

.zip here

It's kind of a bizarre subject for a mix but I really enjoyed making it. The order of this mix is very purposeful, starting out with the 'first dance', then a bit of classic Cole Porter (who will be played constantly at my wedding, I love him so much), sliding into slower, coupley songs leading to another bride&groom moment with Chris Isaak. Then David comes busting in on the emo with his awesome and the 80's come too (with a little 60's thrown in there). Then there's one from the National, (because I am convinced this song takes place at a wedding and considering the cover for Boxer was taken at a friend's wedding, yeah, I'm stopping I swear. But it just fits so well.) then a little Bloc Party to keep the tempo up, finishing with a romantic but fabulous Stars song.

The Spandau Ballet song is there for two reasons:
a) I have an inexplicable thing for Spandau Ballet.
b) Ali? Imagine he's saying 'Bold'. Then it makes sense?

Gossip Girl 2.03 - The Dark Night  
Oh Gossip Girl, never stop making me so ridiculously happy. Also, I feel this icon should have 'Dan' instead of Serena because she was really awesome this episode.

in which i abuse the word 'oh' a lot. )

Title: rihanna, umbrellas and getting caught in the rain
Author:
[info]ava_leigh_fitz
Rating: PG-13 (suggestion of sex)
Fandom(s): Arrested Development
Character(s): Michael/Lindsay
Word Count
: 1106
Summary: “We haven’t had a good rainstorm in a long time,” - no, this is not a euphemism. For once.
A/N: So, this is the last of the fics that I sent to Ali [info]deadduck008. I know, I know. Michael/Lindsay? Way to squick out your f-list but actually, it’s not weird when you really think about it. So I guess SPOILERS FOR ALL 3 SEASONS.
