for the most sensitive among us the noise can be too much.

I've officially changed my default to the hotness that is Dr. Reid Oliver. There is no turning back. I also labeled this icon "optimistic" because that is what I feel for them. Optimistic.

OH MY GOD. YOU GUYS. myrna1_2_3 JUST WROTE THIS PERFECT FIC. IT'S LIKE THE PERFECT FIC THAT BRINGS TOGETHER THE TWO COUPLES THAT I LOVE MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THIS UNIVERSE: BRIAN AND JUSTIN AND LUKE AND REID.

SERIOUSLY. IT IS SO EPIC. IT IS EPICLY EPIC. I WANT TO WRITE SONNETS TO IT BUT I CAN'T WRITE.

DID I MENTION IT'S EPIC? IT'S SO IC FOR ALL CHARACTERS INVOLVED AND MY ONLY SADNESS IS THAT IT'S NOT TEN THOUSAND PAGES LONG WHERE I CAN GET LOST IN THAT UNIVERSE FOREVER.

YOU HAVE TO READ IT. READ IT RIGHT NOW. IT'S RIGHT HERE! GO READ IT. IT'S HERE.

THERE IS RELATING TO EACH OTHER AND BRIAN AND JUSTIN HAVING THE RELATIONSHIP THAT I LOVE SO HARD AND THEY'RE STILL TOGETHER AND LUKE AND REID BEING TOGETHER.

HOW DO YOU GO WRONG WITH THIS FIC? YOU CAN'T. GO.

GO AND REPORT BACK HOW MUCH YOU LOVED IT.

I HAVEN'T BEEN THIS HAPPY IN A FANDOM IN SO, SO LONG. COME ON. GET GOING. READ ALREADY.

I'LL BE BACK WITH MORE RECS AND THINGS TO SQUEE OVER.

( ATWT - PICSPAM! )

It's been awesome around LiveJournal when it comes to how awesome fandom is. If you don't know who Luke and Reid are, and you should, they have been responsible for just bringing in old QaF fandom like you wouldn't believe. I see all these old names popping up and it's like a burst of nostalgia! The lure_atwt community has been bringing the awesome this week so I will provide links.

1. myrna1_2_3 has The One With Lucinda and Reid

2. susanderavish has proved that constant harassment loving prodding does work because bigboobedcanuck wrote a ficlet called Post Surgery.

3. erikssiren wrote a fic that made my heart leap into my throat. Luke's pain is my pain and it's called You Say Goodbye and I Say Hello.

4. Then there's Sleepless in Oakdale by sexyscholar.

5. And the ever awesome suzvoy has several options for you to view just how awesome she is. I mean, she is just the gift that keeps on giving. There are videos here and here. The first one in particular made me cry! It's nostalgia and this sense of truth that seems so evident in the show. Sigh.

Then she wrote a fic called In The Land of Interruptions, Horniness is King based on the last episode that just made me all twitchy in a good way.

Ah. Fandom things all around is such a switch. Makes me feel all bouncy. I am loving every single minute of this and hope it never ends.

Ooh! 6. friday82 created the most awesome picspam with Geoff Beddoes! Don't tell me you guys don't remember our good buudy Geoff. It brought back so memories and I have to go looking for my Street Time disc now! The picspam is here, here, and here.

Well, it's the final day of nablopomo and it's definitely been fun. I think that it's a challenge to try to write something every day but it did motivate me to write right away instead of waiting several days to say one little thing. I'll probably end up going back to that. I just like to think about what I'm going to say, compile, and then post it. That's just my way. It'd be neat to do something like this again though.

All of my November entries have been public and that's left me feeling very exposed. At the same time, I know that it's opened my journal to comments that I normally wouldn't receive, people that I don't often communicate with, and that's been really great. Maybe I'll keep it up and just lock the entries that really need to be locked. That's the plan, folks. That's the plan.

So, what did I do for the majority of my Thanksgiving break? I've been pretty consumed by Luke and Noah. I had plans to watch a couple of movies today but instead I decided that it's time to toss my old hard drives that I've literally been lagging around since 2003. Those are a lot of moves to be carrying around a couple of old towers.

There are a lot of old goodies that I found in the drives including some recordings of me on the radio. Yeah, I'll probably end up sharing those because they're embarrassing. They're a reminder that I was also like those crazy Jonas Brothers fans and said things that make me cringe today.

I'm also finally getting through the 5,000 questions survey that I started ages ago. Here are my answers for 301-400.

( 301-400 Questions. )

( Toy Gun. No, I won't add 'Shiny'. That's a band. )

So, that's the finale of my November posts. If you like what you've read, feel free to stick around.

I see that we all have an overwhelmingly positive response regarding Dexter. We love Dexter again, yay! I'm very excited for the upcoming episodes.

Okay, I'm typing this with extremely blurry vision right now so please excuse the typos but I really can barely see the monitor because everything is blurry.

I went for an annual eye exam on Saturday and discovered that my vision has gotten worse. I've gone up like a whole grade or something. Pretty bad but not really bad enough I guess. But I left my glasses there so I could get the lenses changed then I remembered Thanksgiving break and realized I wouldn't have my glasses when I'm just relaxing around the house. Downgrade!

So, my mom's getting my glasses tomorrow so that I can see what's going on Thanksgiving. Yay!

In other news, I think that I really liked Luke and Noah from ATWT before but now I think that I'm kind of obsessed with them. I've discovered fic and have been indulging myself in that and going back and remembering how great those little clips were of them. I'm definitely going to put together some kind of Luke/Noah DVD for my viewing pleasure.
