actual words...

Let's see if I can manage an actual update of sorts. First, I was too busy celebrating the birthday with different people and then this week has just been hell at work and with everything going on down south. It's just a bad situation and my heart goes out to everyone.

Needless to say, it hasn't made me feel very fandomy at all. I haven't really done much reading and/or writing.

However, there isn't anything else I can do beyond giving any money I can spare. I feel useless in this situation because I am...so I guess the best I can offer up is to try to keep going on and questioning things and praying for it to be over.

-Multiverse 2005 has opened and there are a ton of great crossover stories for reading. I've been going through it slowly, when I have a few minutes to spare, and will post my recs as soon as I get through the remainder of the stories.

-[livejournal.com profile] quillandink has posted the newest prompts and ongoing fic challenges for the week, and feel free to add to the current round robin writing that's going on. As much/little as you want!

-[livejournal.com profile] dragonsinger has declared today Drabble Day! So yeah, you post a drabble here and I will write one for you in return.

**



Name your five favorite superhero movies.

1. Superman. - First, Superman is my favorite superhero of all time aside from Wonder Woman...and the movies were great.

2. Spiderman. - This movie stuck to the original comic story so well and it's one of those movies I never tire of. I especially love the part where the citizens of NYC come to Spiderman's aid saying things like, "You mess with him, you mess with us." Because that is the truest thing about NYC - they might rip you apart themselves, but in the end, they stick up for each other.

3. X-Men. - I love, love, love it. I didn't expect to when I was dragged to see it by my friend, but it is fabulousness.

4. X2. - This was a great sequel and picked up on the ongoing themes of the first one perfectly. Plus, ya know, it had Pyro.

5. Sky High. - Okay, so it's the *training* ground for *future* superheroes, but I enjoyed it a great deal.

Okay, it's lunchtime and I have errands to run.

Take care everyone!

Ciao.

Drabble!

"I just don't get it." Ryan shook his head. "It doesn't make any sense."

"It's like a what if." Seth pressed the pause button on the DVD remote. "It's a prequel to the life of Clark Kent, before he became Superman."

"He wasn't always Superman?"

Seth rolled his eyes. "Did you not read the trade of Crisis on Infinite Earths that I lent you? Honestly, man, comics have history. You can't understand them if you don't try. But to answer your question, in current continuity, Clark didn't become Superman until he moved to Metropolis. He's always been Kryptonian, not a super hero. Got it?"

Ryan nodded slightly. "Has Lex always been his best friend?"

"Please, Ryan." Seth groaned. "We've been over this before. It's an Elseworlds. It was part of the creative genius, though, to actually bring Lex in as Clark's best friend. It makes the future so much more damn poignant."

"Uh, Seth....it's just a TV show."

"Bite your tongue! It's a multi-media experience."

Ryan snorted. "Yeah. Whatever."

"You're not part of the fandom, man. That's your problem." Seth picked up the remote. "Now, this episode- Crush, is one of the best episodes ever. Wait till you see the guest star."

Seth totally has a LJ. He even has a permanent account. Ryan would have one, because Seth goaded him into it. He does update it, but keeps the majority of it on private view only. Summer would have one because Seth set it up, and she'd join different communities and snag pictures and songs but wouldn't update. And Marissa would have one just to grab different mixes.

*hee*, some days I am too silly for my own good.

M&M! Squee! I love it. Michael's so clueless, but you gotta love him. :) Thanks!

Happy Drabble Day!

******************

Lorelai stood in front of the full-length mirror, admiring her wedding dress, upswept hair, and bouquet. The butterflies in her stomach subsided as soon as she saw herself. She was ready.

She walked down the stairs and was met by Jackson. He escorted her outside to join Luke under the chuppah. Lorelai wondered vaguely if Luke had known how it would be used when he'd first built it for her.

Lorelai's smile was matched by Luke's ear splitting grin. He looked so handsome and proud. She moved to stand beside Sookie, across from Luke and Kirk. Everything was just perfect, she was so happy.

She only wished Rory were here.
