Grrrrr...

yes. Very much so.

This icon is by [livejournal.com profile] shalowater I like her icons very much.

Working on the Steven King challenge thing. 9,762 words. Lotta words. My stories are making me cry. But not in a good way. See? Very sad.

The weather here in South Jersey is very warm. It's kind of odd. I took down Christmas decorations wearing a tee-shirt. Well, and pants of course, my neighborhood isn't that liberal. I took my perfect tree to the curb. It still smelled great. It was a good tree. The giant poinsettia still looks incredible, and considering that it's living with me, this is a miracle. I'll be sad when it dies, and yes, it's going to die. No tips on keeping a poinsettia for eternity. I don't care.

I'm contemplating moving my dad from the nearly unaffordable place he's living in now to a place we can afford. I've done some research and apparentally, no such thing exists. He could live here with us, but then again, I could also stab myself in the brain and save us all a lot of trouble.

I miss my Clitney. Who else is writing it beside me and [livejournal.com profile] supercaptain182? Who's writing the Brex? Why is everyone writing Bruce/Clark?

I'm so grumpy....

ETA: I'm a little less grumpy now, thank you [livejournal.com profile] myownghost so please let me say that it's not that I don't like Clark/Bruce, I've read wonderful stories with the two--I'm enjoying [livejournal.com profile] theclexfactor's excellent series, and [livejournal.com profile] jen_in_japan's incredible stories. It's just...once upon a time Brex ruled the land, and I miss those days. *sighs, lifts her enormous head up and waves her tiny arms about. "where are you, my sisters, where have you gone?"...stumbles into the tarpit...*

Maybe it'll cheer you up to hear (or read, as the case may be) that I have some Brex planned (and by planned, I mean outlined and waiting for me to get off my duff and type it up). And no Bruce/Clark in that story, either. Though I don't see how I could put any Clitney in it, I'm afraid.

And please, PLEASE! no brain-stabbing action! That's more of a summer thing, anyway.

*snorfle!* Ah! Imagine my embarrassment!

I'm happy to hear you plan some Brex--I look forward to it!

As you go along with your current story, don't forget to post to the various comms!

I've never posted anywhere but on my own lj. Where should I go?

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2008-01-08 03:18 am (UTC)(link)
here are a few SV comms to try
[livejournal.com profile] absolut_lex--if your fic is going to stay Lex-centric.

[livejournal.com profile] smallville_au

[livejournal.com profile] sv_renaissance I think you can post announcemnts of updates here, but double check to be sure

[livejournal.com profile] denialcorp

I'm sure there are more, but these are comms I joined. Just besure to read the posting requirements!

[identity profile] selinamoonfire.livejournal.com 2008-01-07 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I hate to say this since you're grumpy, but the way your very vivid descriptions have me giggling.

I don't know who is writing Brex. I read a very sad one but that's probably not what your looking for. And if my Muses win, there may be Brex in my future. Though I keep Thwaping those Muses upside the head and telling them to shut up. Soooo I'm hoping there won't be Brex in the future.

I think part of the Bruce/Clark thing is the comics, though I really don't see it.

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2008-01-08 01:46 am (UTC)(link)
*G*

Brex almost always has to be sad. There's no way that they can ever end up together, happily. I think I've only written one Brex story that had a happy ending. *encourages your muses*

I think Bruce/Clark in comics practically screams it, actually. I have a few graphic novels that are all about the ho-yay. If you're me, that is, heh!

[identity profile] selinamoonfire.livejournal.com 2008-01-08 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
Oh please don't encourage my Muses like that. My Knights of Gotham Muses keep saying "Brex would be hot." That's Selina talking. When she isn't trying to convince me that she should jump Lex, she wants to watch Bruce jump Lex. *facepalm* At least she doesn't want to jump Clark...yet.

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2008-01-08 02:27 am (UTC)(link)

Yikes! Poor innocent Clark--he'd never survive her! At least Lex could handle it...*g*

[identity profile] selinamoonfire.livejournal.com 2008-01-08 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, Selina'd be nice to Clark. She wouldn't claw him up too badly, even if he wasn't indestructable. It'd ruin her steel claws. ;)

Selina's now bouncing up and down whining for me to write some Brex or let her pounce. *facepalm* Now if I could figure out how to do it without her looking slutty... Eep! I shouldn't encourage her like that!

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2008-01-08 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
non slutty--vastly overrated!

LOL Yeah but I don't want it to turn into Selina Does Gotham. ;)

Oh my, you *are* grumpy, but I think it's understandable.

I do have a Bruce/Clark/Lex bunny hopping around on my hard drive (and leaving fur balls behind) and someday those three are going to be having some fun.

I'd write you some Clitney, but the thought of writing Clark or Lex with someone else and not a threesome kinda makes me have a panic attack and it's not pretty. *blink*

*hugs you*

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2008-01-08 01:50 am (UTC)(link)
*mmmmmmmhuggles!*

Bruce/Clark/Lex is so much fun--you've got these two majorly screwed up guys, and one guy who has no idea he's as screwed up as he is! Or at least it's that way in Roxyland...*snort*

Me, I'm glad anybody but Clex gives you attacks--we need dedicated Clex lovers in SV!

I can't get into Bruce/Clark...

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2008-01-08 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
In SV, no, not at all--I'd think it kind of borders on non-con, unless Lex is in the mix--but in DCverse, it can be amazing.

The only problem I sometimes find is folks occasionally want to write Clark like a girl, and their relationship like a high school romance. I don't get that--ick!

Oh gosh--that's pretty much impossible! At least, not for the two of them together. Even though Strange Boys had a happy ending, hugs and kisses and happy smiles all over. *smiles fondly* Yeah....

Why is it I hardly ever write a happy ending yet insist on it from everyone else?

Sorry you're feeling so out of sorts.

I have to say though, that this post cracked me up. It is also very warm here in Michigan, it's kinda frustrating (and creeping me out) cause, well, I just finished pulling all the cold weather clothes out of storage and now it seems pointless (65 in January!). I was picturing coming home from work and seeing my neighbor removing her decorations in a t-shirt and nothing else and I couldn't help but snicker. I almost wouldn't put it past her. ; )
Plus, the comments about the plant and not sending tips. I kill every plant that every finds its way into my home, even cactus. My family, however, all have green thumbs and are constantly giving me tips on how to keep things alive. I've tried the tips and it still didn't work so, like you, I have just become resolute that plants will look good for a small amount of time but that the extra effort is better spent elsewhere, no matter what.

Hope you feel better soon!!

OY! Your neighbor sounds...scary interesting!

Yes, I'd rather not worry about killing my plants when I could better spend my time doing stuff to make my kid need therapy, or so she says--tcha! big baby!

I have no idea what happened to all the Brex. Is it just me or does there seem to be an overall lack of Lex fic in general? I have trouble even looking at Lex nowadays, so that's my excuse.

As for Clark/Bruce, I'm a little world's finested-out, or whatever. My f-list is full of it, and I'm only even reading a small portion.

Hopefully there will be a little more diversity soon.

And good on you on your Stephen King fic, I just keep putting mine off.

[identity profile] roxymissrose.livejournal.com 2008-01-08 02:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah...SV has fucked his character up so horribly bad that I don't blame MR for wanting to get away--*I*I want him to get away. They took the coolest character on TV and gutted him, the bastards. But that's why we should all be writing Lex--to fix it!!

Yep, there's definitely a cycle here. When I hopped on board the LJ bandwagon, Brex was the flavor of the month. It all comes and goes, some things thank god, quickly.

[identity profile] rosy5000.livejournal.com 2008-01-08 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
It's bad that even when you complain, you amuse me. *grins*

Please don't be with the stabbing in the brain. We need you to keep your brain so you can keep writing us stories and keeping us amused with your posts. :) *huggles*

I miss Clitney too... and I could use more Brex... and more Lex/Whitney or Clark/Lex/Whitney or hell... Clark/Lex/Bruce/Whitney would even more fun. *evol grins* *gets distracted by the image of so much pretty*

*oooppsss... Brain popped from over use* :(

Ummm... Oh... Stay away from tar pits... that stuff's nasty to get off. *puts fence around tar pit*

I took my perfect tree to the curb. It still smelled great. It was a good tree.

Nooo, you must keep it until it turns brown and all the needles are littering your house and the last lingering scent of pine is long gone.

I'm contemplating moving my dad from the nearly unaffordable place he's living in now to a place we can afford. I've done some research and apparentally, no such thing exists. He could live here with us, but then again, I could also stab myself in the brain and save us all a lot of trouble.

Firstly i'm glad you're feeling a little better now **huggles** i was worried.

secondly in response to It's just...once upon a time Brex ruled the land, and I miss those days

I know it hurts, but it was simply time for the Brex to end. It ran a good course against all odds, it was merely time for Bruce to move on to other more supermany things. And while it saddens you, rest assured that Bruce has gone and is in a happy home with his snuggly alien love slave...., heh..

I haven't been reading. I want to be reading! I've been writing. Hee! you have me beat in the word count,but that's okay. Stephen King has us both whupped.

I was playing around with the sims this evening -- I found a wonderful creative person who had braided hair(yay!) and other different styles, and I was experimenting with my favorite model with them. (yes, tis Ripley, and in no way is this a prod or anything! I just love to create characters as sims. Anyway. I made her with dreads, and she looks, in my humble opinion, awesome! http://www.flickr.com/photos/16092711@N05/2179654504/ (and yes, if you want to tell others about her go ahead. It's just so flattering. :) )
