→ This tweet by the Dalai Lama really reminded me of Harry Potter today:
"We must generate courage equal to the size of the difficulties we face."

→ I wrote TVD fic earlier this week and in doing so I realized that I'm having all of this anxiety about writing this fandom right now. Frustrating, but true. Though I do want to write as much as I can handle during the hiatus because I am not sure how the canon is going to effect my writing. (Which is just indicative of how writing this show makes my brain hurt, I usually don't worry about canon at all.)

→ I really want to write Lost fic. Yes. A comfort zone thing, I think. Maybe I will do that soon.

→ I enjoyed the Haven season two premiere. Duke/Nathan forever. That is all. (Oh? And THIS. I love their twitter antics so much.)

→ This is so trippy, yet awesome and beautiful:

→ On the same note, this is very disturbing. NOT EVEN JOKING. (Yet I can't look away!):

→ To end on a high note:

I realized that I'm having all of this anxiety about writing this fandom right now. Frustrating, but true. Though I do want to write as much as I can handle during the hiatus because I am not sure how the canon is going to effect my writing.

Yes, OMG, I'm 100% with you on this one. You've described my problem exactly. I don't get like this for any of the other shows I watch. The hiatus is half over and I'm totally stressed about everything I haven't finished/written yet because I'm sure it'll be jossed within the first ep or two (it doesn't help that a bunch of rl/work issues are making it hard to find time to write at the moment).

In terms of what I'm writing, the canon obviously plays little or no bearing. But I kind of feel like when the canon starts it might squash all my ideas or bring on new ones that supersede the types of things I want to write, right now. So it definitely feels like a time crunch. I already find myself dealing with canon more explicitly in my TVD fics than I usually do considering all the mythologies -- and I think in some respects because some of these characters are so young and the relationships on the show are so well defined. I'm so much better at vague-ary. Why can't this show be that easy? *pouts*

That seaweed video is SO COOL. Wow. That Grandma video, on the other hand, is creepy as fuck...

Yay, Duke/Nathan!!!!!!!!!!!

ok, so yes, thanks for the first vid, it's absolutely gorgeous. the second? maybe I should not have watched it, but as you say, once started it's hard to look away...

but my main comment is: OMG, Michael Trevino, you are too young to be so hot for me. good lord.

(I'm sorry canon is stressing you, though I understand completely)

It is so creepy! But also funny? I am pretty sure the artist who created it wanted it to be "profound" but it seems like something you might see on an SNL skit at the same time, haha.

Nah, he's like 26! That's plenty old enough to ogle at any age. (Whether you are 13 or 63.)

(Canon! WHY? I am not a stressor of canon! It makes no sense!)
