Arcadian Dream

hello ladies & gents! my name is ashley and i'm 20. i live in cincinnati, which means i'm a bearcats and bengals fan. i post random stuff A LOT. my friends page doesn't move enough :( so i'm looking for a lot of people to add. britney spears, sunshine, the gossip girl cast, football season, chipotle, kim kardashian, facebook, mascara, diet coke, forever 21, glitter and bright nail polish are some of my favorite things. my last.fm is here, if anyone is interested in our music compatibility. i'll add anyone!

Can't seem to wake up.

Concert account will come when I get pix from doombuggie.

I sleep more.

After a week and a half of pulling our hair out and shaking angry fists towards Luxembourg, we finally got back to what we should've been doing all along -- promoting this bloody Show! Yes, free publicity, RTL, why do you make this so hard?

The situation's not ideal by any means. Instead of capturing clips directly from the video stream like we used to, now we're stuck spending literally hours on screencaptures. It's totally draining -- the RTL player is, quite frankly, crap. Everytime it stalls, I have to rebuffer and restart the recording. On about a third of the files the soundtrack comes out wonky. And even at its best, the quality is jerky because it is, after all, a string of screencaps. THANK GOD THIS DIDN'T HAPPEN BEFORE REUNION!

Still! We posted episode* and we're getting comments again (they are like a drug, I tell you!) and I'm going to sit here and drink wine and spam like whoa. And if I have enough wine, I just might make a defiant "you can't take the Show sky from me" vid.

Hope you're all ready for an awesome weekend!


* This episode was nabbed before we left for Germany; it's not representative of the new stuff we're getting. You'll know what I mean when you see those in a few days. Boy, will you know what I mean.

Title: Lost and Held
Author: gatewaygirl
Characters: Sirius, Peter
Rating: NC-17
Warnings: Castration, sex, cross-dressing, manipulation
Themes/kinks chosen: Eunuchs/Castrati, Costumes
Word Count: 5,317
Summary: An accident gives Sirius and Peter a shared secret
Author's notes: November prompts included the theme "eunuchs/castrati". It's listed in the tags as "castration", which would have been a rather different story. I have been as accurate as I could manage with the theme, but certainly do not guarantee all details are correct. ;-) Thanks to Clauclauclaudia for very short-notice beta work.

Word Count: 100
Note: this continues the de-aged Snape plot begun a couple of weeks ago. He is now a teenager physically but still lacks most of his memories.



Lupin did not react immediately. Severus pressed closer, drinking in the scent of his shaving lotion. Images flashed through his brain: werewolf, man, boy, adult, teacher, lover -

"No. No!" Remus yanked free with a desperate shove. "You're a child! Stop it!"

"I'm not a child." Severus' voice was deeper now, his hair longer. He watched as Remus' eyes widened at the changes. "The more I'm with you, the closer I am to myself. You know I'm right."

"The Ministry lists you - "

"The Ministry can go hang." Severus touched his cheek. "Don't send me back."

"I - "


TBC…and yes, for those who have followed so patiently, the end is in sight. :D

Just a reminder that signups will be open for five more days! So if you've been putting off signing up, what are you waiting for? We've already had a terrific response, but there's always room for more!

NAME: Michelle
AGE: 20

INTERESTS; I like mythology, folklore, legends-- any story rife with history and culture. I really love astronomy and psychology; socionics is a branch of personality psychology and it is AWESOME. Music, technology, science, books, art....I have been interested in everything but economics and politics at one point or another.

HOBBIES; Playing piano and lounging about in hot tubs with a book. When it is warm out I love wandering outside in the woods or in towns/cities (not New York sized cities though, they freak me out) and exploring; biking or boating are cool too. I like to write and create art, in lieu of that I find something else to alter....whether that merely be rearranging my room. Work and school, also-- I'm a Psychology and Archeology student, currently unemployed as well as waiting to begin winter semester as a transfer student. Looong wait, it has been 3 months and about 1 to go still.

LOOKING FOR; I'm not terribly discriminating. No spam? Intolerance and bigotry make me pissy?

ANYTHING ELSE; Well, my favorite television shows are Merlin, Doctor Who, and Sherlock Holmes (Granada...Jeremy Brett is awesome). Battlestar Galactica (reimagined) is probably the best show ever, though it isn't my favorite. I love reading intelligent yet beautiful writing, such as Oscar Wilde; I also really like Tolkien and Conan Doyle. Classic rock (CCR, Blue Oyster Cult, Metallica, Boston, etc) is just gorgeous, but oftentimes nothing can beat a good piano concerto. The Shining is the best movie ever. LOL  Now that I have bombarded you all with a string of slightly unrelated information....... ;)

Today I received several things which served as a wake-up call; for one thing my week long headache has disappeared which means I am fit to exist again. Then I received the happiest bank statement I have ever seen, because now I know for sure there is enough money for classes Spring semester. I am probably going to take Abnormal Psych, Criminology, and Cultural Anthropology.

It makes me a bit sad not to be taking in or majoring in science, but not sad enough to change anything (again). To be honest, I have about had enough of the way science works academically. All but one of my profs at Miami had this aura of...not quite arrogance, it was something like what you get from super-religious people, ironically. Contempt for outsiders? And an underlying assumption that everyone else is a moron (or damned to hell for all eternity). Exceptionally ironic. Then there is the fact that you look throughout all of history and no one ever believes new discoveries or even remains open, especially in the scientific community. Everyone is so close minded; I do not want to be subjected to that in any arena where I cannot immediately act on it, to them, directly. In as kind a way as possible, of course, seeing as pushing my ideas and facts would be hypocritical at best.

This is coming from the girl who spent all of her life wanting to be an astrophysicist or quantum physicist. It is not that I really have any hang ups with scientists themselves, I just do not like the way the show is run and would rather be involved with discovery in my field rather than maintenance of our conduct. :P

Gah. Anyhow, I am meanwhile hoping that I get a job as server at Chili's-- betcha I can make bundles in tips if I am in a fairly personable mood. Though I will most like dump someones dinner all over them at least once, or forget things routinely. Woe. This is why I wanted to find a lovely and quiet job at a library. The worst I could do there is get crushed by stacks. And I'm sure they have insurance for that.

Supernatural one tonight, then White Collar, then Merlin......hooray! I must hunt down food now, as I am exceptionally hungry. And my headache is returning.... D:

i know i probably have some of you added but i like new friends. i'm jac. i'm 17, i live in massachusetts. i really wish we could rewind back to halloween right about now. i'm a vegan, but no worries, i'm not one of those psycho ones that wants to kill non-vegan/vegetarians. i'm in love with edward scissorhands and i've currently got ashlee simpson's albums on repeat. add me si tu quieres because me gusta amigos

Which was kinda weird to see -- I mean, mentally I've been trying to brace myself*, but when I looked out the window to see things moving nearly horizontally across my view, my first thought was "what an odd rain." (Followed quickly by nooooooooooooooooooooo.)

Also, deakat is a goddess! She waved her magic wand over my laptop (she called it installing drivers, but I caught a glimpse of her wand before she stashed it away) and now my screencapture software works, and we maybe have an (albeit imperfect) workaround to nab episodes of AWZ.

To celebrate, we watched Bandits, which was AWESOME! Wonderful cracky fun right up until the end. (The end which I have recut in my head.) And now I have a long list of new movies I must see staring Katja Riemann *sigh* My work is never done.

So in conclusion, today looks a bit brighter than yesterday, despite the grey snow clouds overhead.



* Sorry, much as I love Canada, this transplanted Texan is never going to fully embrace winter. At least I don't run screaming to the Dominican Republic anymore...

"Don't you understand?" Severus all but shouted. "The only way I'm going to remember is if you're around! You were the one who took me to the Shrieking Shack - "

" - where you nearly choked on the scent of your own blood." Lupin's collar was open enough to show the Ministry identification tattoo. "You have friends, a home, a fresh start. Why do you want to remember?"

"Because it's my life! You're part of it! I - "

Lupin had gone sheet-white. "No. Maybe before, but not now. Severus - "

Severus grabbed his face and kissed him.

What is everyone currently reading at this time? I'm curious.

I'm a little over half done with Homeland by R.A. Salvatore. I borrowed the Dark Elf trilogy a while back and I think it's time that I read it so I can send it back to its owner. ^_~ I like the book, but I'm looking forward to the next volumes since I hear it gets better.

But as far as my own books go, I'm reading Oliver Twist, which I only own because I needed something to get with my store credit at the used bookshop. And I've always been meaning to read this classic.

day four of updates in journal:

I'm doing well on my nano - keeping up with the goals, at least. I would like to get another 500-700 words written tonight, but if I can't, it isn't the end of the world.

I will have new buttons and keychains come morning, and that's what's important.

Work is going to be insane for the next few days. I'm honestly not sure how I'll get through it all. Good thing I'm healthy now~!
