International Day of Lying
Dec. 31st, 2011 10:31 amYou're a honest person, right? You live well and you rarely steal office supplies. You don't keep bank pens like they're your personal property and you always count your change and let the teller know if they make a mistake... right?
You don't cheat on your spouse (physically) and only fantasize about having sex with Alex O'Loughlin on day's ending with Y but you really wouldn't climb that beautiful Austrialian GQ Motherfucker like a tree if you had the chance... right?
You report all of your income to your respective government for taxes (unless you wait tables or work as a stripper or a hooker in a country that doesn't support a woman's (or man's) right to market her(his) own ass if she(he) wants)... right?
So, why do you take an entire day out of our life every year to LIE TO YOURSELF? Here's the thing, when I was younger I was really into New Year's Resolutions. I made a list, I picked the ones that were the ones that were most important. Like the year after college when I gained 10lbs because sex had been my regular exercise and when I took a solemn vow of to be ABSTAIN from fucking for a whole year-- I didn't replace that "exercise" with something like jogging. I replaced it with a gallon of Godiva Ice Cream and Vanilla Lattes. What? I'm human. I made that list and I started working out everyday starting January 1st which lasted until around the middle of March when I slimmed it down to twice a week and then around April 12th (I helped my sister celebrate her birthday with a quite a few drinks that year), and then by May I had a boyfriend and sex was back on the agenda and traditional exercise went the way of the DoDo Bird.
This year I'm not lying to myself. These are my plans for next year:
1. I will continue to read lots of gay porn.
2. I will continue to write lots of gay porn.
3. I won't be ashamed of my gay porn.
4. I will endeavor not put on enough pounds to merit a new jean size.
5. I will continue to use sexual congress as my main form of exercise.
6. I will try not to mourn Hugh as I'm sure he's in a much better place now.
7. I will try to go through my Gmail account and respond to people's questions without being a complete and utter cunt. ( NO promises)
8. I will meet my goal of 500k of original fiction as always (I did 600k last year so this remains a reasonable goal)
9. I will try to get over how TPTB made Danno a douche bag last season on Hawaii Five-0 for like five seconds because I've held my grudge long enough.
10. I will try to work less than 10 hours a day because I only have one life to live and it shouldn't be lived under a pile of work.

Best words I wrote today: John groaned, snagged a pillow and buried his face in it as McKay worked the tip of his tongue into his ass. He was pretty sure he’d just figured out why all of the man’s ex-lovers would probably still sleep with him given half a chance. Dr. Rodney McKay was a morally corrupt sex god.

Date: 2011-12-31 04:54 pm (UTC)Yes, please, more gay porn. In fact, that's on my resolution list. "Read every bit of gay porn Keira graces us with." Definitely. I can do that!
Happy New Year, Keira!

(Also, I was, for some reason, laboring under the delusion that Alex was Irish and that I had dibs because of Ethnic Solidarity or something. I am thoroughly crushed.)

Date: 2011-12-31 05:55 pm (UTC)Personally I have never really understood the whole big-party-drink-til-your-almost-dead-make-promises-you-never-keep-and-will-only-make-you-feel-guilty-for-not-following-through.
Also, the song from that vid came on the radio yesterday while driving to Home Depot to buy new kitchen cabinets. I had an immediate need for McShep porn. thank you for the promise of providing more.

Date: 2011-12-31 06:05 pm (UTC)Because I can never say it often enough: Thank you for your writing and your efforts on behalf of various fandoms. Your work is entertaining and inspiring and I still catch myself surprised to remember that a Betazoid Jim Kirk is not, in fact, reboot canon. Thank you for some truly well-crafted world re-building, there.
Thank you for even the prospect of more Harry Potter fic - I love your take on the characters and I revisit them frequently.
As for the SGA/SG1 fic - words fail me. Thanks for all of it and you go where your muse takes you - I will be grateful for whatever may come of it.
Yours truly,
A frequent re-reader and general lurker

Date: 2011-12-31 07:16 pm (UTC)I can say that I agree with resolutions 1-3 & many of the others as well. And that lying to yourself can be a very bad thing in the long run. So glad that you haven't fallen for that mess.
The video is what made me fall in love with that song, so thank you for bringing it back up. It was a blast to rewatch it.
~L
P.S. The line rocks & I am looking forward to the scene it is in!

I WILL celebrate my puppydog's birthday tomorrow. (He's a New Year's puppy--his whole litter has celebratory names and his breeder said it was the nicest New Years ever.)

Date: 2011-12-31 08:13 pm (UTC)2) write gay porn
3) attempt to write poetry once a week
4) read at least one non-gay porn book per month
5) to enjoy being a loner and stand up to people who seem to think the only way to be happy is to be in a relationship. Well I am in a relationship, with myself, and I don't need/want a boyfriend/husband/girlfriend/wife/kid/whatever to be happy. Though I wouldn't mind a Rodney, if you have one to spare.

And I am definitely looking forward to whatever that snippet is from!~ *licks lips* *innocent*

With or without resolutions, I hope 2012 is filled with love and laughter ... and all the "sexual congress" you can manage.
Emma.

Date: 2012-01-01 12:10 am (UTC)In regards to the last paragraph of the entry, that made me laugh. I just found it hilarious that people who use to be Rodney's lovers would jump at the chance to be with him again because Rodney is just that good. That is not to that it is impossible; after all, who knows what other talents Rodney has.
Question: What fic is that last paragraph for?

I hope your feeling better now. Also, Happy New Year.

Happy New Year!

Date: 2012-01-01 10:25 am (UTC)I stopped making resolutions years ago. Besides, making a resolution is easy. Finding the drive to start and complete it is the hard part.

Date: 2012-01-01 03:29 pm (UTC)Sounds like a reasonable list to me. :) Your Minions did something similar during chat last night and #1 on most of our lists was: Read more gay porn.
And this? You don't cheat on your spouse (physically) and only fantasize about having sex with Alex O'Loughlin on day's ending with Y but you really wouldn't climb that beautiful Austrialian GQ Motherfucker like a tree if you had the chance... right?
Hell YES! I had a dream about him the other night. The Jehovah's Witnesses showed up at my door and when I went to chase them off there was Alex O'Loughlin rocking the suit, tie, and nerdy glasses look. I jerked him into the house by the tie and said, "where do I sign up?"
What is Emotional Clockwork,
