Skulls and Angels

After reading the latest installment of enchanted_jae's Gains verse, all I could think to say was  "Oh, Harry..."

Apparently, I'm not alone in that sentiment

That verse is one of the awesomest things from one of my favorite people, but the boys are driving me silly. (In the best way possible)

I'm feeling silly and goofy from lack of sleep, but hey, at least I'm no longer depressed.

I now have the most massive dorkish grin on my face because I've been reading fanfics for most of my day.

I'm happy and my head is filled with fluffy black bunnies and boys in love.

No, not at the same time. Just no. Bunny voyeurs wouldn't feel right unless they were somehow Transfigured to Animagi.

*Snort*

This is what happens to my brain on no sleep.

I come up with potentially kinky plot-bunnies.

Remind me again. The downside is where here?

Have a good day everyone. lol

As with so many moments in my life when I'm having a bad time, music has once again proved a balm and a help.

This is the video for the song "The Atheist Christmas Carol" by Vienna Teng. I am not an atheist, but the song is pure loveliness. It really made me feel so much better. In the spirit of the holidays, I wanted to share the peace this brought me. Hope you all enjoy!

This song is by Idina Menzel, who was the original Elphaba in the musical Wicked. I never got the chance to see this play, and I always wished I could've seen it with her in it, but the closest I got was a rather grainy YouTube playlist that someone was kind enough to upload, which has probably since been removed. Anyhow, I loved the play, and I fell head-over-heels for Idina's lovely voice. At some point, she released an album. This is one of the songs from it that I just happened to listen to tonight when I really needed a burst of something positive, and this helped. A lot. So I thought I might share with you guys, since I've posted so much gloom-and-doom lately. Hope you enjoy. This had me crying tears of hope for the first time in a long while.

Has anyone else had issues when leaving comments lately? I tried to Leave a comment onenchanted_jae's fic, Time Will Tell, and it wouldn't let me the first two times I tried to. The third time, it let me, thank goodness. Is anyone else having this problem, or is it just me? Frustrated girl is frustrated.

Anyhow, it was a really good fic, with a highly innovative use of a Time Turner, which made me laugh out loud. It is slash, which is male on male. No like, no read. Simple as that.

I really need to laugh some more today, so I'm off to look through some more recs.

This is one of my favorite songs ever. It fits well with my current mood, and I'm not up to writing a lot today, so this is the quickest and most efficient means of expressing myself. I hope that everyone is well tonight, and I wish you all the brightest of blessings.

So, most people here know that I am in serious love/lust/obsession with HP slash. When it's humorous H/D, that's even better. So, in that spirit, I wanted to post the links to two fics that heartily amuse me without fail every time I read them.

I'm sure most of you have read these already, but if you haven't, do. They are always good for a giggle. Have a happy day, and enjoy the fics!

Putting this link in my journal, because looking for the original post where it was recced was starting to drive me batshit crazy. This is a good abused!Harry fic I read recently where Harry and Draco go goth and face homophobia from Gryffindors, which, for some mad reason, I really had a craving for a few days ago.
