Argh,

yuletide. I finished my story and uploaded it about fifteen minutes before deadline. :-/ I actually considered writing two stories for my recipient anyway, and then

schneestern got out her porn-fu while I was like, four hours away from deadline and I suddenly thought I should start another story for my recipient. THANKS JULES. Anyway, the porn story is not the story I uploaded, but I may very well finish it just in case my other one sucks. I can distract from the crappiness with PORN. Works every time.

So now I have like seven bajillion other stories I want to finish before Christmas, and pinch hits are going out tonight. Cue me, huddling in a blanket with seven half-drunk cups of coffee sitting around me and my fingers bleeding.

Um. Hmm. I watched 30 Days Of Night twice the other day, once by myself and once with my siblings, and I am definitely crushing a little on Melissa George.

Josh Hartnett was not too shabby himself. Ben Foster was, unfortunately, quite shabby and I would really like to see him in a role soon where he doesn't look like a total skeev/creep/psycho. And it was a pretty creepy movie, despite some fairly large plotholes/flaws.

I'm fairly sure I'm just going to go through a phase for every single person on Alias. I may have had a five-second fling with Michael Vartan the day before yesterday.

(Jennifer Garner looks mighty fine in these, too.)

That last one reminds me so much of this one of Jensen:

Or a mix of that one and this one:

There is a very good chance, however, that that's only because there is only so many ways to dress/pose pretty boys. HINT HINT MORE NAKED WOULD WORK.

Michael Vartan is one of those people that looks way better on camera than he does in pictures, I have to admit. He always looks really wooden/uncomfortable/awkward in pictures. :-/ Hence the not having very many I like.

Ok, yeah, I'll own up. I think Bradley Cooper is pretty freaking hot, too.

And I realize that I'm made of fail and missed both

angel_kathryn's and

psychotic_scam's birthdays. :( I hope you both had wonderful ones, and if there's anything I can do belatedly to make them better, let me know!

Also! I got cards from

vagrancy (eee! glittery penguins SO CUTE),

crazydelicious0 (French! and your handwriting is so PRETTY I am jealous!),

_onebreath (OMFG MICE IN MITTENS AND CAPS *DIES FROM THE CUTE*),

semirhage527 (GLITTER GLITTER GLITTER IT MAKES MY LIFE), and

pink_faerie81 (MORE GLITTER AND PINK AND REINDEER AND ROAD TRIP HOMG!) Seriously, so much glitter on my desk right now and I really couldn't be happier. :D Thank you, lovelies!

Oh, but as cool as your cards were, they don't match up to the TWO nearly identical cards I got from the John Edwards campaign. Sorry. (I KEED I KEED! Obvs.)

Yikes! What is with all the close-to-Christmas birthdays? My grandpa's is on the 20th and my aunt's is the 21st, too. I lucked out, though, because they're usually pretty cool about getting joint Christmas/birthday presents, and we don't usually do parties for anyone but the little kids in my family.

Haha, I think I only know this stuff because I watched it twice in one day. :D I'm almost tempted to watch it again because there is fic in my head that wants to be written. :D

Man, I love vampire stories, but yeah, there are some pretty terrible ones out there. :( I keep seeing so much stuff about Twilight that I'm tempted to snag the books and read them (I've actually heard a couple people say that they always pictured David Anders as Edward, which definitely helps lol) but I also hear pretty frequently that they're really terrible.

Seriously! All my friends were born in packs, it's not even funny. There are a few weeks throughout the year where I am even more broke than usual because suddenly it's everybody's birthday :D It makes the the rest of the year more relaxed, though :D

:D Yay. I thought about waiting until it's out on DVD, since it's pretty and it should be seen in good quality. But now you're making me want to watch it now. :D

Vampires have always been my favorite scary-creatures :D I went through a whole big Anne Rice /Lestat phase when I was... well I think it started when I was like 11 and lasted for an embarrassingly long time :D And it's been pretty much Vampires ever since, in every shape or form.
Oh god, Twilight is SO bad. It's fun to mock afterwards with people who recognize the badness, but getting through it was seriously painful. Literally. The writing style of Meyer just hurts. :D

*is expecting to get chased down with pitchforks and torches by any twilight fans around any minute now*

Yeah, I'm probably going to have to rewatch it now too. :D

Me too! Oh man, I did the same thing, probably right around the same age. :D I was SO freaking excited about seeing Interview With a Vampire, I literally stole it from a member of my family so I could watch it when I knew no one would let me. And then I ended up watching it like fifteen times in a week or something ridiculous. :D

Have you ever read anything of Poppy Z. Brite's? She has a few that deal with vampires, and they're all fairly graphic (and slashy) but I kind of adore them. And hmm, I'm trying to think of my favorite vampire movies. I have a soft spot for the Blade trilogy, not because they're any great feat of film, lol, but the fact that Stephen Dorff is a vampire in the first one, Norman Reedus is in the second one, and Ryan Reynolds and Dominic Purcell are in third one really cement my love for them.

I'm totally blanking on any other vampire movies I love, though. :-/

Haha, I might stay away from Twilight then, and wait for the movie. :D

LMAO OMG ME TOO! I got it and then watched it the night I got it. And then again right after it was over. And then again the next morning. And it kinda stayed like that for the next few days :D I had a whole little Tom Cruise obsession after that, too, which I entirely blame on Lestat. I can still pretty much quote the entire thing from memory now.

Oh, I heard about them, a friend of mine loves them, but I never got around to reading them yet. They've been on my amazon-shopping cart list for ages, though :D
*lol* I have to confess that I still haven't seen Blade 3, but the series does have the huge eye-candy bonus. :D I adore the Francis Ford Coppola Bram Stoker, but I'm having a really hard time thinking of others, too. There must be more. *ponders*

*lol* Well the mocking is really entertaining :D I think the movie may actually work much better for the story than the book does, because the thing that put me off the book the most was the dreadful writing style. It reads like bad fanfic. So maybe that won't be all that visible in the movie. And then the movie will just have a really annoying stupid female lead. And Rob Pattz. :D

:D :D :D I had a whole little Brad Pitt obsession right after watching it! And dude. I printed out a script of it. My siblings and I would act it out. It is scary and sad to admit now, but at the time, I was so obsessed with it it seemed the only logical thing to do. :D

You definitely should check them out if you get the chance, especially Lost Souls. A friend of mine,

dementedlove, turned me on to it a few years ago and I couldn't put it down.

I was never a big fan of the movie version of Bram Stoker, but I haven't actually seen it in a looong time, so I might need to re-watch it. OH! The Lost Boys! I can't believe that wasn't the first one that popped into my head, I adore that movie.

I'm kinda psyched about the movie, actually, I just read an overview of the books the other day and the story seems interesting, done right.

LOL That is so awesome :D I probably would have, too, but I had noone who was co-obsessed with the movie with me, so I had to geek around by myself :D

I'll get Lost Souls as soon as my Christmas-induced lack of money is over. :D

YES LOST BOYS OMG! How did I forget that one, so very very cool! I love the Bram Stoker movie, but that probably has a lot to do with the fact that I saw it for the first time at the height of my omg!vampire craze. :D

I think the movie actually has potential, too. The story, written by a better author, could have been pretty cool, so the movie is kind of the second chance for the material. ;)
