How I met your mother

[amathela]

Am back from visiting my dad in Sydney. As expected, there was a lot of beer. I'm sure other stuff happened, too.

Watched Fantastic Four 2 with Jeremy last night. I'm fairly certain I can't have been the only person to watch it and think that Sue married the wrong person. Seriously - at least some scenes of Sue and Johnny making out on-screen would have taken the film above 80 minutes. And would not at all have been out of place. (This also led to Jeremy's observation, after Sue and Johnny are feeling each other up embracing, and Reed and Ben hug, that Ben/Reed would actually be a viable pairing, in that The Thing is quite a bit larger than ordinary people, and Reed can stretch. Um.)

I'm almost caught up on SGA, which is awesome, but also means I'll be forced to wait a week between episodes like normal people (who don't share my habit of catching up on fandoms really late, then devouring entire seasons in a matter of days). Damn.

And a meme, from musesfool:

The first and last lines from the last ten fics I wrote.

first line: "You're getting married tomorrow."

last line: At least, not in any way that she can say it.

We Could Do The Tango (Arrested Development, Michael/Lindsay)


first line: "That was some kiss."

last line: "Besides" – she pouted a little – "I missed you."

Manifest (Veronica Mars, Logan/Veronica/Lilly)


first line: "Never picked you as one for the Dark Arts."

last line: "If you really believe that, you haven't thought far enough ahead."

Enmity (Harry Potter, Ron/Draco)


first line: "I still don't get why I need to be here."

last line: "Delores?"

Lost Souls (Dead Like Me/Reaper, George, Sam)


first line: John heard Teyla's laughter ringing out across the hallway.

last line: He was going to have to let McKay know.

Sparring (Stargate Atlantis, John/Teyla, Lorne/Teyla)


first line: "You want us to what?"

last line: Yep, she definitely hesitated.

Good Fortune (Stargate Atlantis, John/Teyla)


first line: He'd forgotten what it was like to take orders.

last line: But the thing is, he still isn't great at taking orders.

As I Say (Stargate Atlantis, John)


first line: Mothers in Neptune.

last line: But the good thing about family is that sometimes you get to make your own.

And Your Mother Too (Four Funerals And A Wedding) (Veronica Mars, Lamb, Veronica)


first line: It's been a bad day.

last line: But it's about to get a whole lot better.

Bad Day (Heroes, Peter/Niki/Claire)


first line: "God, I love your mother."

last line: "I still want the rest of that coffee," she says, and kisses him again.

The Pursuit Of Lorelai (Gilmore Girls, Finn/Lorelai)


Hmm. Apparently, I like opening fics with dialogue, which I already knew; I do it with scenes, too. In shorter fics, I have a tendency to use the same theme to open and close, which I knew, too. And, interestingly, I titled this post before I included the eighth and tenth fics, which, hee. Also, the last ten fics I've written include incest, smut, slash, femmeslash, threesomes, pseudo-crack, character study, plotty genfic, crossovers, fluff, and angst, in seven different fandoms. Not bad, really.

That made me morning... it made me giggle uncontrollably and for no reason.
