Same number, same 'hood; it's all good

1. I still want someone to make a BSG fanvid to this song. Any takers?

*edited to add: and I'd also still like someone to make a Bones fanvid to this song. 'DAT ASS.

2. I love my online friends. This is not new; however, sometimes this fact needs to be celebrated. Thanks goes to keenai for keeping me company via chat tonight with cracky funtimes. Anything that makes me laugh hard enough to literally clap my hands in joy deserves to be shared, so:

akilah: twilight, sigh
Rachael: i know
remember when vampires killed people?
akilah: I hate vampires! I do not think they are sexy. they creep me out
Rachael: they want to suck your bloooood
akilah: creeeeeeeepy
Rachael: and they're dead. even better. haha
akilah: necrophilia
they just get sexier
Rachael: they would have no problem with impotence though
*rimshot*
would you believe i made that joke while eating dinner?
akilah: hahahahah
you are a bones fan. if you can watch that while eating, you can deal with anything
Rachael: for real. i grew up on the x-files. after watching inbreds prepare to screw their mother, nothing shocks me.
maybe you can just start calling vampires "bedbunnies". that would solve your problem.
akilah: gross
GROSS
Rachael: hoppity hop hop
i'm assuming you've seen bones this week, right? ha
akilah: no I haven't actually
I'm behind on tv
it's my one failing
Rachael: hee. well, crap.
now you'll think of me when you hear "bedbunnies" anyway

. . .

akilah: I don't even watch House anymore, but I still think a Bones/House crossover would be awesome
I'm not sure how it would work, but it would be something I'd watch
also: Bones/Psych. that needs to happen.
Rachael: oh, it so would be. house & brennan in a scene together would be hilarious. and OMG PSYCH/BONES
my life--complete
akilah: this is what I'm saying
she wouldn't know what any of anything Shawn says means
Rachael: but gus & brennan would totally get along! and julia & cam would be bffs!
akilah: Lassiter and Booth comparing guns! except Lassie would be trying to impress Booth, but Booth would just be like, "whatever, local law enforcement"
House, Brennan, and booth in a scene together would just be...
House would be fascinated by Brennan, Brennan wouldn't let House get under her skin, and Booth would want to SHOOT HOUSE IN THE HEAD
it would be awesome
Rachael: the universe would explode
i still can't get over the mental image of lassie at the lab
akilah: can you imagine him and Hodgins interacting? hahahahaha
Rachael: NO, EVEN BETTER: what if it happened back when zack was still there?
akilah: I JUST THOUGHT THE SAME THING
Rachael: LASSITER & ZACK IN A SCENE TOGETHER, OMG
akilah: the faces Lassie would make!
Brennan would be so unimpressed by the chief, though
Rachael: that made me laugh so hard
i think shawn's dad would have a crush on brennan
akilah: he would definitely take a liking to her
oh God
my friend said she wanted to read Lassie/Henry fic
I was just like whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
and now I'm wilting and have to go to bed
Rachael: oh, my sweet lord. i'm picturing them waltzing now

---

In summation: BONES/PSYCH CROSSOVER FIC. NEED IT IN MY LIFE. RIGHT NOW, THANK YOU KINDLY.


3. Speaking of keenai, she's convinced me to listen to Harry Potter audiobooks once I've returned my current book to the library. Whatever the results of this are, I will be blaming them on her. (no, I've never read them--only seen a few of the movies) We've decided (read: I've decided. Hee) it's okay for me to equate it to an aural kids' movie experience, since I don't do YA books & she thinks I'll enjoy the story. Just go with it.

4. This is random, but when am I not random? So. gina227 made a joke in one of her posts recently about the Bones writers & their cracky ways (affectionately & facetiously, much like I would), and I commented with this vid. I couldn't help but share it here too. Heh. Oh, HH! (for real though? That vid pretty much applies--figuratively, hee. I don't think they're actually crackheads--to all TV writers/exec producers, as far as I'm concerned. Haha. "How did I get up in this treeeee?"<--continuityFAIL)

5. Who's in the mood for a survey? I haven't done one of those in a long, long time. I got this one from xmaidelx, and it's actually meant to include some kind of image-y thing as well, but I'm being lazy right now so I'm just going to answer the questions. Feel free to swipe this & answer it in your own journals too, if you'd like.

1. What is your first name? Rachael
2. What is your favorite food? I really like peanut butter with chocolate. Does that count?
3. What high school did you go to? Arts & Communications Magnet High School (now known as Arts & Communication Magnet Academy. U.S. News and World Report named it as Oregon's best public high school in 2007! That made me very proud, though I graduated in 2000. Still, even then it was recognized as a "Magnet School of Merit" by the Magnet Schools of America Association. Aww. *squishes former school*)
4. What is your favorite color? Green
5. Who is your celebrity crush? I have many, ha. Emily Deschanel is #1, though. Guh.
6. Favorite drink? Diet Pepsi. I'm also very fond of Chai Tea Lattes.
7. Your favorite place? The woods/the beach. As those of you who've been on my flist long already know, I'm a big fan of what I like to call "Jaunty Woodland Walks" (tm Lauren Graham, thanks to this interview), and I spent a lot of time last year taking advantage of the trails around my apartment here in Tualatin as well as in Portland (I live in Oregon). Forest Park is my favorite place to hike, but when I can't make it out there, I'm lucky enough to have a community park/river/forest within walking distance of my home as well. When I decided last summer to keep living until 12/31/10, it was while sitting by the river during a walk, right here:




8. Favorite dessert? Why must I decide? Not fair. I like cheesecake, donuts, anything peanutbutter/chocolate-related, and any kind of cookies 'n cream or chocolate-chip-mint ice cream. If it comes in milkshake-form, EVEN BETTER.
9. What you want to be when you grow up? Sometime before I'm 80? Hmm. A writer/teacher/someone doing something with media studies/literature/social sciences, I think. Or all of the above. Muahaha. Same thing we do every day, Pinky. Try to take over the world.
10. Where do you want to be right now? On a paid vacation to Disneyland with all my online friends. I really like the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. It's dorky & fun. Afterward, we'd head back to the hotel & fangirl it up like HOMIES. Woot woot.
11. Favorite word? "Fuck". What? Don't act surprised. I still laugh every time I'm watching Sex & the City & I hear Samantha say, "Shit motherfucker fuck shit" (I love her SO DAMN MUCH, hahaha). I also love "tomfoolery" & "exacerbate" & "ergo" & "verbose" and many, many others. In general, I LOVE WORDS.
12. What do you love most in life? Unity. Disparate forces coming together--drawing connections.
13. Who do you love most in life? I'm trying to learn to love me first. Otherwise, it would be my nephew. Also, my best friend (dosidella).
14. One Word to describe you. Strong.
15. Your greatest dream. I want to travel the world, starting with Asia (Africa would come next).
16. Your favorite childhood story. As in my favorite story told to children? Or my favorite story from my own childhood? xmaidelx took it to mean the former, so I'll do the same. Oy. Most of the childhood stories my generation (in my culture) was raised on are ripe with sexism & other problems (case in point), so this is hard. I watched The Wizard of Oz every day as a kid, but that had issues too (even then, I could see that. I'd get annoyed at the "only bad witches are ugly" crap). I still love it though, but yeah. I'm going to go with "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh." It never gets old. Even as an adult, I can watch it and see people I know in various characters--including myself. They're just so endearing. Now, keep in mind I'm specifically talking about the original film here. (i.e. here) We won't touch the new material. The old stuff, however? With characters hopping around on letters? Rolling in mud puddles? Just try to resist it. You can't. You know you can't. (P.S. I'm rewatching it now, and it STILL makes me laugh out loud. It's so freaking cute, God. I remember watching it with my nephew when he was a toddler and the "blustery day" section with Owl & Piglet just killing him.)


For my Vid of the Day, I feel like throwing Parks & Recreation a little love. This one's by buffyfan357:

You've never read the Harry Potter books? Where's a jawdrop emoticon when I need one...

[rachg82.livejournal.com]

They were after my time, and I never had children! I'm a booksnob. I stopped reading kid/YA stuff when I was like twelve. And when I read did books aloud to my little brother or nephew, it was historical fiction or short stories.

[auroura76.livejournal.com]

Dude, come on, I'm your age and they were TOTES MY TIME.

FWIW, I credit keenai with getting me into the series as well.

[rachg82.livejournal.com]

I refuse to accept this! Haha. Little kids were reading them when I was a teenager!

[auroura76.livejournal.com]

Admittedly, I had a younger brother who was into them first, but he's only 2.5 years younger.

You'd really like them! I swear!

[rachg82.livejournal.com]

See: before your time! Hee. I'm such a butthead.

You'd really like them! I swear!

I know, I know. That's why I'm giving the audiobooks a shot. Bear in mind I went into Buffy kicking & screaming too. I'm stubborn.

When (notice I said when, not if, mwahahaha) you cave in and watch Farscape, we will behaving many, MANY a discussion about how much and what kind of drugs are smoked in the writers' room.

[rachg82.livejournal.com]

Farscape's been on my list of shows to watch for quite some time now, actually! How many seasons does it have?

[(Anonymous)]

There are 4 seasons plus the miniseries that they tacked on to wrap things up after they got canceled at the last minute and ended on a cliffie.

DO IT. YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO DOOOOO IT.

[gina227.livejournal.com]

Aaaand I forgot to sign in again. That's what I get for fucking around on LJ at 3:30 in the morning.

[rachg82.livejournal.com]

I do want to, seriously. I've heard there's a body-swapping episode. (I love those.) I just haven't gotten around to it yet is all.
