if you read nothing else in this post, read the last paragraph!!!
The printer is making death rattle noises. There are four of us currently here, in an office of 20+. None of my favorites are in. At least five of the people who aren't here are out for the entire week. So much jealousy. So much. I know my vacation is coming but I want it to come FASTER! I really miss having a winter break this year. This is the first year I've ever not finished reading through the Yuletide archive before having to go back to school/work. I am only up to the beginning of the M's in the fandom list; I'm a little over halfway there. I want to read more and more and more, but I'm trying to avoid fan fiction while at work, especially since my wireless access is no longer cutting it and I can't do internets on my laptop.
Basically, this is a pointless post about how bored I am and how cranky I am that I have to be at work today when I could be at home reading fanfic, kink meme-ing, and RPing. Ridiculous complaints are ridiculous, but I am still so happy it is a four-day work week.
(If you want a good laugh, go through Rotten Tomatoes' section for Sherlock Holmes. Some of the less flattering reviews are uproarious. I sat by myself at the reception desk this morning, as no one called and no one came in, just laughing my ass off. Bad reviews are the best! Writers always come up with their best turns of phrase in them.)
So this is a Give Me Things to Write and I Shall Endeavor to Write Them post! You all know my fandoms and what I am willing to try (for the record, a few ideas off the top of my head: Sherlock Holmes (new movie or oldschool canon), Iron Man, Glee, Sons of Anarchy, The Mentalist, NCIS, Bones, How I Met Your Mother, iCarly, National Treasure, M*A*S*H, Hellboy, Firefly, True Blood... there are many many many things I'm willing to try that aren't on this list, so feel free to request others if you know I am familiar with the source material). I can't write anything dreadful or explicit due to being at work, but otherwise, I'm pretty easy. Give me a character or characters, a pairing, a situation you want to see somebody in, a word or a song lyric or a phrase... Crossovers, crack, angst, romance, gen, whatever else, and general ridiculousness are all a-okay. Just give me something to jot short things about. For the love of God, please. D: D:

"Me llamo Sammo," says the other.
They both look at their guest.
"...Heey," Riley says weakly to the camera.
"...This is iCarly!" Carly says.
"We have with us today a dweeb--"
Carly elbows Sam, and Riley stops nervously watching his reflection in the camera lens long enough to look offended.
"--A guest!" Sam self-corrects. "A guest. Jeez. This," both girls gesture at Riley at once, "is Riley. He's a treasure hunter."
"You remember when those guys found all that cr-aaazy stuff under New York City a couple years ago?" asks Carly. The helpful animation that pops up, when Freddie hits a button, is an old-school drawing of a bunch of pirates standing over a huge mound of gold coins and treasure chests. Riley's face has been superimposed over a pirate with a pick-axe. He has been given an eyepatch and missing teeth and a mustache, all clearly Photodocked in with the black paintbrush tool. "Riley was one of Those Guys!" Sometimes, Carly seriously does sound like she belongs on the Game Show Network. This is one of those times. "He wrote a book about it."
"And I couldn't get on the Today Show, 60 Minutes, Oprah, the View, or even Tyra Banks," Riley says through gritted teeth with a fixed smile at the camera.
"...So here he is!" Carly exclaims, eyeing him.
Sam holds up a copy of The Templar Treasure and Other Myths That Are True. "God, you were such a dork when you were a kid," she tells Riley. "I can smell it."
("Sam," Carly tries.)
"Mostly 'cause you're still a dork now."
("Sam!")
"Laugh it up, fuzzball," Riley drawls. "One, dorks rule the world when they grow up, and two, I so was and am not a nerd!"
"Who you callin' Fuzzball?" Sam demands, and Carly swiftly steps between them, making HELP ME eyes at Freddie, who is manning the camera.
"And now," Carly says, the unmistakable signs of polite strain on her face, "we'll act out a scene!"
"My agent is sooo fired," Riley sing-songs under his breath.
