Proposing A Happiness Post.

House-hunting is a miserable, miserable process, especially when the temperature is below freezing. I spent all of yesterday house-hunting, I'm going to spend all of today house-hunting, and there's a fair chance I'm going to spend all of tomorrow house-hunting as well. Term starts on Monday, and if I don't have a place by then I'm in quite a lot of trouble.

I am not just posting to whine; what I am doing is proposing a cheer-up post. Write little fun snippets of fic in the comments! Attempt the ridiculous crossover you've always wanted to see! Edit Pokémon into screenshots of very serious moments! Post a link to a video that makes you laugh! Just post something fun or something that makes you happy in the comments. It will give me something to look forward to when I get home, and with any luck it will help anyone else who needs cheering-up as well.

Have fun!

Okay, here we go. I suspect this may only be funny to me, but here's a snippet of conversation/fic between myself and a friend:

[livejournal.com profile] yumiboo: you don't have an obsessive nature - OUR LOVE IS A PURE AND BEAUTIFUL THING! YOU KNOW IT XD
[livejournal.com profile] timydamonkey: DON'T TELL EVERYBODY OR I WILL NEVER LET ANYBODY TALK TO YOU AGAIN D: :P
[livejournal.com profile] yumiboo: DON'T BE AFRAID OF OUR LOVE!!!!!!! XD
We can be like the new-age romeo and juliet!
[livejournal.com profile] timydamonkey: The sky pirate version? BAGSIE BALTHIER!
[livejournal.com profile] yumiboo: XD THEN I CAN BE FRAN, WITH HER BUUNY EARED GOODNESS ♥
[livejournal.com profile] timydamonkey: And I can make sarcastic quips! Match made in heaven?
[livejournal.com profile] yumiboo: ♥ it's settled then
anyone else who wants to take part shall have to be vaan - because, like vaan, they are not essential to our tale. XD
[livejournal.com profile] timydamonkey: XD "Sorry, Vaan, forgot you were there! Go mind the Strahl for us, there's a good boy. Oh, and keep Ashe away from the Dusk Shard, you know how power hungry she gets... aha, now where were we, dear lady?"
[livejournal.com profile] yumiboo: "the mist... she stirs! now is the time for us to have a fist clenchingly dramatic OTP moment. Oh, and Vaan, never ask me for my age" XD
[livejournal.com profile] timydamonkey: "Very well! Vaan, fetch the rope. It would be a travesty to get caught up like last time, Fran, so we should practise our act without the need to go Berserk!"
[livejournal.com profile] yumiboo: "*sigh* very well, I shall attempt, but no ropes! You remember what happened last time!"
[livejournal.com profile] timydamonkey: "Ah, yes, I seem to remember some rather nasty friction burns. I would venture to say our captors would have regretted the incident if their lifespan hadn't been so... short lived. Mayhaps, Fran, we could forego such bindings and properly test our skills?"
[livejournal.com profile] yumiboo: "I guess." she whispered, letting her hair flow int he wind as it often did during the close tmes they had together.
[livejournal.com profile] timydamonkey: (XDDD It really is RPing now. I think we're scaring away my other friends :P)

"Then, I wish you luck," Balthier said, drawing his gun (because he has to have the crappiest weapon as default). Fran's hair swinging in the breeze clearly meant the Wood approved of them.
[livejournal.com profile] yumiboo: XD lol, and so they went - most likely to shag, or kill stuff and then shag. Either way, at the end of it all, the fans get their smut.

House hunting? Why? :o

Okay, things that cheer me up are mostly videos of kittens on YouTube. I'll limit myself to one:



...I've just spent about ten minutes looking through my memories and pictures for things I find funny but to be honest my sense of humour is very questionable and most people wouldn't appreciate it.

Seriously, I have 215 pictures in my random pictures folder and these are about the only ones I think most people will actually find at least mildly funny, and won't be offended by, which is probably amusing in itself, and I am a bad person.

Amusing, or cute. They both lead to equal levels of happiness.

The "have you seen this cat" picture made me laugh out LOUD and now I am saving it. Teeny little hedgehogs are ridiculously cute. In response I have this:

This almost killed me the first time I watched it. Oh Wilson...



Also, well, you've definitely seen more Top Gear than me, and I was wondering last night... have they ever done any lawnmower racing? If not, please feel free to imagine them doing so- barrelling down a dirt track at about 40 mph on tricked-out lawnmowers. That's pretty happy-making.

Warnining: slight swearing and high levels of Chad

[identity profile] amy-wolf.livejournal.com 2009-01-07 06:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Della wasn't entirely sure how he'd gotten stuck helping out this Chad guy. He'd had the fight with Sam, and wanted to get away for a stretch, and Chad had turned up in need of help. Really in need of help.

The pregnancy was one thing. Della could cope with the pregnancy. He'd been on the road a lot, and seen more than one hunter get in the family way with the thing they were supposed to be hunting. And not all of the creatures that could impregnate you cared if you had the right kind of reproductive system to begin with.

So a man being pregnant by a vampire wasn't that weird. What was weird was the costume.

Chad ran around everywhere in a pair of long johns, wearing a fuzzy pink-and-white baby blanket tied around his neck. At some point, he'd scribbled "CMM" on the front of the long johns in glitter paint. And he'd jump out in that outfit, trying to thwart crime by shouting "Lo, the Chad Avenger has arrived! Mend your ways, evil-doer, or fear my wrath!"

Okay, so it was kind of funny when he did that to litterers. As long as they didn't punch him too hard.

Della had stepped in a few times to bail Chad out, when he went after someone more dangerous than that lady who kept dropping her gum wrappers. After Chad tried to stop the mugger with a combination of shouting and dramatic posing, Della did the sensible thing and invested in an enormous fucking gun. It worked; most people looked at that thing and ran.

"Come here, my loyal sidekick!" Chad waved to Della.

"Yeah?" Della stepped closer.

"Our darkest hour is upon us. I fear I must face my arch-nemesisisis. If you wish to flee and save yourself, I will think no less of you."

Della wasn't going to run. Chad would get himself killed without Della to look after him. "Who's the arch-whatever?"

"Nemesisisis...is. He is...a vampire!"

"Cool!" Della had always wanted to see a vampire. He'd been so jealous when he'd found out that Sam had gotten to go after them twice.

"Cold to the touch. His very skin is like marble. And he sparkles like a diamond in the sunlight."

"Vampires...sparkle?" Della frowned. His dad had never told him that.

"Indeed they do!" Chad nodded. "Don't let them dazzle you, though. I did, and look what happened to me!" He pointed to his pregnant belly.

"So this is the vampire who knocked you up?" And apparently, arch-nemiwhatever meant 'ex-boyfriend'. Della could roll with that. "You want to kick his ass? Maybe get some child-support payments?"

"I want to thwart him utterly!" Chad tried for a dramatic look. He still wasn't very good at them. "I want to strike fear into his cruelly handsome features! I want to make Lucas Scott fear the day he was born!"

Richard glared. He hadn't stopped glaring since their latest...mishap. "The Stig had bloody well better turn up soon! You know the only thing worse than turning back into a teenager?" His voice cracked slightly on the words. Apparently, Hammond's voice still hadn't quite settled at that age.

"Realizing you're not actually any shorter than you were as an adult?" Jeremy offered.

Richard punched Jeremy. James let him this time.

Jeremy had turned into a tall and weirdly pretty teenager. The hair was longer and fuller, creating a stylishly unruly 'tumbledown curls' effect, and his face had rearranged himself in a way that made the girls stare.

Richard, on the other hand, had landed in his awkward stage. He appeared to be about fourteen, although he kept insisting he was sixteen, he had spots, his eyes were far too large for his head, the punk hairstyle that was presumably supposed to make him look tough only made him look twelve instead, and he was so small students kept squashing him up against lockers by mistake. He'd been in two fights over this already, and it was only lunchtime.

James...well, he wasn't sure how he looked. Richard said he looked fine, which he suspected meant he looked ordinary. He was avoiding mirrors and trying not to think about it too much.

"The worst bit," Richard said, "is being stuck in a school, in a country where they don't let sixteen-year-olds nip off to the pub for a pint."

In the distance, singing started.

"I take it back. That's the worst bit. Not another bloody musical number!" Richard shook his head. "I don't care what it is, I'm not dancing this time!"

"You'll dance. We all will. We have to." Jeremy groaned. "I just hope I don't have to sing again."

Privately, James thought he wouldn't mind the singing, if he could get away with not dancing, and if he had more interesting lyrics. Sadly, all of the songs seemed to be about minor adolescent troubles. If there'd been a sensible song in there, like "Little Honda", he'd have been far happier.

"Hey." A tall young man with a crew-cut beckoned. "You guys aren't from around here, are you?"

"You bloody well notice that, did you?" Richard answered.

"Not usually teenagers either, I'm guessing." The guy nodded. "Something seriously weird is going on here. Have you met the scary pink chick? If not, avoid the scary pink chick. I'm Dean, by the way."

James shook Dean's hand. "James. The tall bloke's Jeremy, and the short and angry one is Richard."

Dean nodded. "There's some kind of curse on this place. I suspect the scary pink chick. Talk to you after school." He glanced off into the mass of students, and ducked off.

An admittedly frightening-looking young woman in pink swooped down the hall. "Hi, I'm Sharpay!" She looked over at Jeremy. "You're not bad. Did you know there's a school play coming up?"

When you said House-hunting, I immediately thought that you were referring to a certain cranky doctor. I then realized my woeful mistake.
