So I was ALL READY to do Invincible for j2_everafter - had it set at my first choice prompt and EVERYTHING - and then, as I'm sitting there, waiting for the confirmation, THIS catches my eye:

Being the most popular girl in school was easy for Lola Steppe until her mother divorced and moved the family. At the new school, Lola found the role of most popular female was already taken, which meant she had to settle for the role of least popular…or did she? In a full-on battle for the title of most popular, Lola decides to take on Carla Sartini and win the most important thing in the world…or maybe not?


AH HA HA HA HA!! WHO BETTER TO BE TEENAGE DRAMA QUEENS THAN JARED AND JENSEN, I ASK YOU? NO ONE. THAT IS THE ANSWER.

\o/

I am very excited. The end.

So I'm at work, getting my little blurb set up for claiming a prompt later today over at j2_everafter, and I look at my top three and they look something like this:

Invincible (true story underdog football movie)
Remember the Titans (true story underdog football movie)
The Rookie (true story underdog, uhm, baseball movie)


WHY HELLO, SPORTS KINK, HOW HAVE YOU BEEN? NICE TO SEE YOU. IT'S BEEN A WHILE.

"Guhdamwd, I don't know how I manage to fangirl about history this much, but...

William Pitt the Younger. ♥

"Despite the duel, and the mounting pressures that had been responsible for Pitt's outburst in the first place, the prime minister showed a remarkable clarity for business."

Also the fact that he kept having mental/physical break downs due to overwork and stress. Shouldn't be endearing, but totally, totally is (just as I find Lord Treasurer Robert Harley's constant ill-health and recourse to alcohol the most bloody adorable thing--but that's quite a bit earlier, and I digress, really.)

"The key point to make is that in 1797 and 1798, each member of the triumvirate was shouldering an immense burden of work, largely alone. […] The burden had taken its toll of their health and personal relationships. Pitt was seriously ill in May 1798 and Dundas only just recovered from exhaustion.”

“In addition, when the king became ill shortly after the resignation, Pitt promised to never raise the issue again during the king’s life in hopes that by easing his mind on the matter he would help to facilitate his recover.”

I should hate him for the whole union-with-Ireland thing, but he's just so goddamn competent, and there's little on Earth I admire as much as that.

Adiawjdoiajwdawd.

So I just (very belatedly I know) watched the first episode of Firefly. Three things are going through my mind.

1. Shit. It really is as good as everyone told me.
2. Speaking of which, I can't believe it's cancelled! What the fuck! Why would something this good get cancelled? I've officially joined the ranks of the outraged!
3. Er. Simon/Mal. No, no, I'm seeing things, this is the first episode. But...really...damn, Simon/Mal.

You have no idea how amused/relieved I am to find Simon/Mal does very much exist and that I'm not hallucinating. XD

OH MY GOD I HAVE TO WORK TELL ME TO WORK GUYS. ;_;

I am still very much incoherent just from the first viewing of the episode, but I managed to at least get some meta down. Much squeeing to be had of course, so go ye forth! I STILL NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS EPISODE BECAUSE IT IS LIKE, WHOA. :D :D :D

I just watched 5x08 and have some happy and stupidly proud thoughts about SPN up through this point. I don't really meta, ever. This might be as close as I'll ever get.
