y'all...

I'm having a really, really, really sucky day. I just want to climb into bed right now and pull the covers over my head and forget everything. And I'm kind of feeling the self-loathing right now, too.

Make me feel better? Recs? Pretty pictures? Vids? Something?

That always makes me smile :)

I'll look for some more happy things. Feel better! <3

Oh noes! LAUREN why? *huggles*

Here's lots of wanky fun fic:

The Plan by Beer Good
Penguins for Bangel Boinking Day by Eilowyn

Here's some Penguin drawings by Erin. Also, Erin's live reaction to reading #34 is the GREATEST THING EVER. I HAVE NOT STOPPED LAUGHING AND I'VE LISTENED TO IT DOZENS OF TIMES.

I was about to rec you Molly May's picspam but I see that you already saw it!

I'll be back with more, I promise! ♥

Ugh. Just work stuff. And general life stuff. *huggles back*

Thank you! These look wonderful! And I totally scrolled past Erin's reaction, so I'm definitely going to check it out if my internet will cooperate!

You're the best! ♥

I want Erin's reaction as my ring tone but it probably wouldn't be such a good idea . . .

Oooookay. I've gotta say something to your Self. Listen up, Self. Lauren is my love. And I love her because she's AWESOME and brings joy and happy rainbows and kittens to share with us even when she doesn't like kittens. Do you see? Do you see? I've seen the best and the worst of her and I understand with perfect clarify exactly what she is. She's one hell of a woman. So Self, you need to knock it off 'cause SHE'S THE MOTHERFUCKING ONE.

Got it? GOOD.

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-04-09 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
You are really so, so good to me. This made me smile and happy-cry and virtual hug you forever.

Thank you.

I'm sorry you're having a bad day :(

I can't make the day go away, but I can offer these pictures of Mr. Winkle. He never fails to make me laugh!

Okay, I don't even really like dogs, but that? Cute and hilarious. Also, KBell is adorable. Adorable.

[identity profile] hkath.livejournal.com 2010-04-09 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Me either! There's just something about the glamour shots that cracks me up so hard. And how did KBell get the tongue angle juuuust right? The mind boggles.

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-04-09 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
YES. Glamor shots are almost always hilarious, but when they're not-people!glamor shots? AWESOME.

KBell has mystical powers. It comes from living on Neptune-the-Hellmouth for so long.

(Seriously, it's totally my head!canon that Neptune is a Hellmouth. How else to explain all the crazy goings-on?)

I'm so sorry about your sucky day. :(

My favoritest YouTube video ever - Swan Lake as performed by a Chinese acrobatic troupe.

Also, remember how you linked me to weheartit just two weeks ago? I went through and collected kitty pictures I liked. I realize you're not a pet person, but these are entirely hygenic and germ-free kitties!

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-04-09 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks. Your sucky-day post inspired me. :D

Oooh! It'll take a while for that to load on my computer, but I love acrobats! Thanks!

I definitely appreciate kitty!pictures in all their hygenic and germ-free cuteness! Thanks!

Oh, and also? I love your boundless enthusiasm and your deep concern for others' feelings. I love your writing. I love your brain for all its thinky thoughts! You're one of my dearest fannish friends, and I have impeccable taste in friends.

So there.

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-04-09 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you so much. You know I think so highly of you and your awesome brain (that works completely differently than mine! Even if we have similar tastes in things, it's always such fun for me to see things from your perspective because the workings of your brain are so different! Also: I will totally get back to your email, and I didn't think you came across as testy at all. Don't worry!). Your always-so-kind words mean so much to me.

Thank you.

You are most welcome.

I didn't think you came across as testy at all.

Whew. I'm glad to hear it - I worried a little after I sent it.

AW GIRL. :( *snugs*

The most feel-good thing I have bookmarked is this Dr. Who/Torchwood vid. I hope it cheers you some.

I LOVE YOU LAUREN MY DOLL MY SUNSHINE.

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-04-09 12:25 am (UTC)(link)
*snugs*

You know, I don't even watch Torchwood, but I figure either Martha or Captain Spike will show up in the Torchwood parts, right? Also, you know I love me some DW!

I LOVE YOU BACK. BECAUSE YOU ARE WONDERFUL ALWAYS.

[identity profile] madcap-shiny.livejournal.com 2010-04-09 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
Martha and Captain Spike do feature heavily! Martha especially. There are some TW bits without them, but for the most part I think it should be stuff you'll recognize.

(Also, I'm taking a moment out to rec TW to you, because I do think you'd like it quite a bit. The first season is...not...good, apart from a few choice eps, but everything from s2 onward is FAB FAB FAB.)

I have made a number of picspams to combat this very problem! (I know, self-pimping AGAIN! It's just my way because I know where to find stuff in my own journal and am too lazy to go looking elsewhere)

happy, happy, joy, joy

(do you watch The Office? I'm not sure if I've ever seen you talk about it.)

Not made for the express purpose of cheering myself up, but this always seems to have that effect anyway:

I love your picspams. Seriously, you have such fantastic taste in like everything, and it always shows when you pull out the pretty, pretty pictures. So link me to your stuff always!

I understand your not remembering where to find things; there's a reason that I have so many memories on lj and so many fav. stories on ff.net.

I actually don't watch The Office because I have the world's largest embarrassment squick. The world's largest. But I'm familiar enough with it that I'll check it out anyways!

I actually cured myself of my embarrassment squick by watching The Office UK. What I'd do is that I'd put an episode on and keep it running in the background while I did other stuff. After about three run-throughs without watching, I was finally inured to the embarrassment. Well, at least enough so that I could watch. After the UK version, the US version was cake - it's nowhere near as realistic and David Brent is in a whole other league than Michael Scott.

The answer is 42 Christopher Walken.

Doing a dramatic reading of Lady Gaga's "Poker Face":



More Cowbell (sorry about the quality):


I'll try to think of more (non-Walken) choices.

Five-second Penguin! Fic . . . Just for you!

Takes place shortly after the Penguin! Fic I wrote yesterday.
---

The albino Penguins That Be prepared for their next guests' arrival. They had figured he would appreciate getting out of a sticky situation - lllyria the god-guin was chewing his ass, or what penguins have for asses, out about his poor leadership skills leading to the death of Wesley, the penguin her shell felt such affection for. When Illyria the god-guin squawked, there was always something unearthly, unpenguin-y about her, as if squawking didn't come naturally to her, and her harangue could possibly be getting on their next guests' nerves.

The female albino penguin cautioned her brother. "Karrak," she warned. They had to be really careful with this one. It wasn't like they had a Plan C if this didn't work.

Her brother shrugged his penguin-shoulders, waved his flipper, and suddenly soft, discordant music could be heard in the white abyss of their realm. "Kaark karr," he told his sister, "Karrak." The music may be bad, but he knew from watching their next guest that the music was the key to getting his agreement. That and hair gel, but they didn't have hair gel in this particular realm, and penguins didn't necessarily have hair. How their guest got his feathers to stick up just so was beyond even the Penguins That Be.

The sister sighed, and wished for earplugs. "Kaark kaa!" She said, they might as well get this over with.

They summoned their guest, calling him into their all-white realm, while the tinny voice poured around them from a mystical sound system no one could see.

"Her name was Lola, she was a show girl . . ."

Okay, so maybe it's way to much self pimpage, but I made a Spike hurt/comfort video that is kinda funny to me. Cause I might be insane. >.<

And it might be funny to me cause I know all the lyrics. >.

You probably saw this on Whedonesque, and I'm not sure if it's your thing at all, or even if you liked Dr. Horrible, but I do find this pretty adorable
