out_there: B-Day Present '05 (Self-satisfied Leo)
Took today off-work sick. I'm not absolutely dying, I'm just tired with a really sore throat and weird ears. (As in they feel weird, not as in I've got body issues with my ears and I'm feeling sorry for myself. *g*)

Should go down to the Post Office this arvo, should do my study for tomorrow, and should get an early night tonight. Hmmm... I hope I do at least one of those things.

What kind of Lesbian am I? )

Meanwhile, this amused the hell out of me. Man, some porn expressions are just so wrong.

Edited because cut tags are a good thing! *g*

More quizzes... )

Okay, I'm really procrastinating now. I'm not even into LotRPS, yet I'm looking at [livejournal.com profile] angstslashhope's icons and sniggering at the keywords.

And, since I got the Coles delivery yesterday, I'm celebrating [livejournal.com profile] celli's birthday with cheese! Cheese sandwiches with fresh white bread, to be exact. Mmmmm... cheese. How I've missed you so.

I also have milk! And juice! And yogurt! And beans!

Yeah, It's kinda sad when I'm this thrilled about groceries... *sheepish grin*

I watched WW last night. The 47th Congressional? (It was the 47th something, I'm sure.) Lots of fun seeing Sam, and as much as I hate to say this, he could do with a shorter haircut. *g*

I think that I'll keep watching WW, even without Sam, but I think my Sam focus is shifting to Will "Sam's Future Boyfriend" Bailey.

To explain this my current conviction that Sam and Will are meant to eventually be, it's probably best if you read A Strange Spot in the Sky by Luna (who also wrote the Sam/Josh Circadian Rhythms, New Jelly Belly Recipes and Serves Two, which are three of my favourite Sam/Josh fics. Yeah, I have a long list of favourites, but these three are very good. *g*)

I'm a Josh/Sam girl. I have been since I started watching WW in S3. Since seeing S1 and S2, I've been happily ignoring the future and wallowing in the strong J/S vibes. I've always been more of a Sam gal than a Josh gal, but I've always had that deep-down belief that they should be together.

Now, I've read one really good fic, and it changed me. Suddenly my mental convictions have shifted from "Sam/Josh always" to "Josh as the old boyfriend, Will as the future boyfriend". It's quite a change and it's all caused by this fic that is wonderfully in character, ridiculously sweet and filled with such hopeful promise.

There are lines that are perfectly Sam, or perfectly Will; there's a great physical sense of the scene as well as terrific dialogue. I love the descriptions, I love the style and I love the idea. I love this Sam, and this Will, and I love the feel of it. Here's an example of it... )

It's so good, and it's so right, and it should happen. Go read it, and then sigh happily and resign yourself to following a new pairing.

And, then, once you've got over the romantic vibe, come and read Once More, With Contrivance. Seriously, if you've seen the Buffy musical (or can sing most of the tunes... *cough*), this is a great laugh. Basically, it's what would happen if the West Wing cast did their own version of the Buffy musical.

Reading through it, I found myself alternating between singing the lyrics out loud and laughing.

*sniff* Damn it. That's too much angst. I shouldn't be getting teary over a fic, but right now, I have the urge for some wailing country music, chocolate and settling down for a good cry.

Background, is a fic where Josh didn't make it.

Okay, I think I need to track down something a little more lighthearted now.

...

*kicks fic* Okay, obsurdesco was not what I needed. It's a Sam/Josh heartbreaker... Very good, but heartbreaking.

*sniff*

These tears? Tears of laughter, my friends, and all thanks to Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered because the WW staffers joking about sex? Hilarious.

I can't believe I'm reading het. Yes, I am reading Donna/Josh.

I have also been reading gen WW stuff, just because I'm enjoying the snark so much. I'm currently sitting and sniggering over Travels in a Viking State. The fun of campaigning with the staffers... *g*

I mean, I was expecting Donna, or Ainsley, or possibly CJ, and this result just thrilled me. I'd just been explaining that when I say I'm a Sam gal, I genuinely mean that there's a lot about Sam that I personally agree with and support. And then I get this result, proving my point. *g* Couldn't be more thrilled.



The idealistic speechwriter is well-liked by just about everyone. He's known for his excellent writing, sense of humor, and tendency to be clutzy. Although being younger than the rest of the staff, he's often treated as so, much to his dismay.

:: Which West Wing character are you? ::


Plus, very pretty picture to post to LJ. Mmmmm... Sam.

I've had the day off work sick, and spent all day reading great WW fics. I'm going to have to go to work tomorrow, and I still haven't done the study. Hmmm... If I go to bed now, I can set my alarm early and try to do it tomorrow morning. It terrible that one day off work can leave me totally unmotivated to go back. It's not that I dislike my job, and I certainly like the pay, it's just that I need more hours in my days, so I can work, spend hours online reading fics, and get enough sleep to function...

*rueful grin* Well, as it's unlikely that my whining will convince the solar system to rearrange itself to suit my sleeping patterns, I'd better go to bed.
