twinkledru wrote the sweetest, cutest little Buffy/Fred story. It is absolutely amazing and wonderful and made me smile and made me giddy and oh. Just adorable.
+ Going to see Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire with J. and Walk the Line with J., Mom, and Dad. Quick thoughts on each: I loved both of them, for many different reasons. I have always loved Johnny Cash, but I love him even more now, and have put all the songs of his I own back into rotation, not just the select few I usually listen to while I write.
+ Leftovers. I absolutely adore Thanksgiving leftovers, even though a lot of it I won't eat (the green beans had onions in them this year, yuck, and I'm not a fan of green beans anyway, but I can't get enough of turkey sandwiches).
+ A sweet text message from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
thestalkycop.
+ My first four day Thanksgiving weekend. It's been lovely just relaxing these past two days, and I still have two more days to do things on. Amazing.
+ Making fun of the broken/repaired/broken/repaired windshield in Twister. Hot damn but I love cheesy action movies.
+ "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" followed by "Redemption Song" followed by "Folsom Prison Blues" followed by "Ring of Fire (live)". All it needs is "Hurt" and it will be the top five list of my favorite Johnny Cash songs. (And good lord people, yes, I know a couple of those are covers. Especially "Hurt". I prefer the Johnny Cash version to the NIN version, and I'm a NIN fan, too. Back off.)
+ Diet Dr. Pepper, because any day with diet Dr. Pepper is a good, good day.
+ Hot, sweet, milky Tetley tea with toast after I got home from the cinema becausethestalkycop got me hooked. My stash is running low (well, it has been over a month since I got back from Florida), but as long as it lasts, it will be wonderful.
+ People recommending Strangers In Paradise which I started to read back when I worked at the bookstore, but then I quit and had to stop and forgot the name but now I remember and I can buy it and read more.
+ That 70s Show. I have watched so many episodes over the past three days I can't hardly stand it. So good. So funny. So much love.
+ My flists, on both the journals. (One is fandom [this one, as I'm sure you know], the other is more personal. If you're interested in the other, just let me know and I'll add you on it, too.) You guys are fabulous and amaze me every day and create things I wish I could create and are so much smarter than I am. I love that fact.
+ The Old Friends With Indiscretions masterlist is up, and though I haven't read any yet, I am looking forward to Willow/Xander stories.
+kormantic posted this entry about true romance, scenes from life, and made me think about my favorite (bitter)sweet memories of romance-which-could-have-been-but-wasn't. I think you should all post yours as well, either here in my comments or over in hers. I've included mine below, and I may post more later, because now I'm all thoughtful.
( The two memories I shared )
I was supposed to go shopping today as the first time I've been a consumer and not an employee on Black Friday--but I hate shopping and crowds and the consumerism of Black Friday, so I did not go. In fact, the only thing I purchased all day was movie tickets, and I made J. actually go inside and get them.
So I will have to wait until next year to fulfill my desire to shop at least once on Black Friday. Maybe not next year either, but someday. I was also going to go shopping tomorrow instead (now today), but I think I'd probably better stay here and write and do laundry and clean. I'm almost done holiday shopping anyway, I just have a handful of presents to buy and the materials for my holiday cards. (Before you start thinking I'm prepared, I still haven't figured out what I need to make the holiday cards, so I'd really better get cracking on that.)

A to G a list of little things
Oct. 19th, 2005 10:39 pmA) There is just not enough Gambit/Bill Weasley in the world. Why? I have SO MUCH LOVE for those who have written it (for me or not for me), and especially for kphoebe who took a little visual lust thing from me (red-hair porn, oh my lord) and turned it into a fabulous series of intelligent, creative writing.
(Also forargentine_fic who teases me with mentions of her Gambit/Bill. Mmmmm.)
B) Why is it when I have so much to write already, I am driven with the need to write Jayne/Kaylee, before, after, and during the movie? Why? Well, maybe not after, but definitely before, and maybe even before the series, and there's one scene during which won't get out of my head.
C) Weekends are for fanfic, I've decided. I'll write original fic during the week, and then I can write as much as I want on the weekends. (Well, original fic, too, because I can't stop, but.)
D) I used to hate candy corn. The guys at work mix them with peanuts. I hate peanuts. However, the salt on the candy corn makes them so good. Mmmmmm. I want some right now. I don't like salt and I don't like too sweet and why do I love it so much?
E) Family Guy cracks me up.
F) Oh fuck, the Cards lost. It's going to be dark in the office tomorrow.
G) I've got to get to bed. I'm exhausted. Last night I couldn't sleep and ended up getting up to write a fabulous scene for "Queertet Revisited". Now if only I could get other things written. It's almost the weekend, I'll get there soon.
