Here's what I watched and read this year.

( 70 Movies watched )


And books!


( 12 books finished )

I'm sorry I cut you guys but I'm not caught up on your lives, I don't feel connected to you anymore and I had to sort out my flist.

We had a great time together and I hope you all won't hold a grudge against me. I wish you all the best and everything shiny for your lives and hope, that when we cross paths in fandom we won't be strangers.

Take care.

And to quote Dean: Demons I get, people are crazy.


Most of you already heard about this and it's making me sick to see who's sypmathising with Polanski. Artists I respected.

Like, Salman Rushdie and TILDA SWINTON. Man, I loved that woman. Now I lost my respect for her.


So. Since rape isn't funny but very serious business and should never EVER be excused under no curcumstances at all - and seriously, I don't care how famous you are or if you saved the world or found a cure for HIV/AIDS - I ask y'all to sign the petition to NOT FREE POLANSKI.

Art does not excuse rape. Polanski must face justice.

GEHT WÄHLEN!

Way too cheer me up in the morning, Mr President!

Obama calls Kanye a jackass

And with that I'm off to hunt down my immatriculation certificates!

PS: I got a few invites left ...

The guy was only 57 years old and died of cancer.

I think I need to rewatch Dirty Dancing tonight.

Rating: G
Pairings: Eliot/Alec pre-slash
Word Count: 1,541
Beta: myloveshine
Warnings: I think I can really expect you guys to have seen the complete first season. Also? This is AU ever since S2 started.
Notes: It's the 6th installment of the Hiatus!Verse and follows You Still Do That To Me. Title stolen from Coldplay. It took me a while to get this done but hey, at least now it's Hiatus again and the verse's name is adequate ;o)
This is set at the same time as You Still Do That To Me but from Eliot's POV.
Disclaimer: If I actually owned Leverage or the characters, I really wouldn't have to write fic about them, would I? I'm also not making any money with this - even though it'd be cool if I were able to.
Summary: The truth was that Eliot needed some time to think about what had happened that day.

Warning Sign

Yeah, it's that time again. I'm sorry guys but I just can't deal with all of my flist lately and those who got cut ... well, I had the feeling that we weren't talking all that much anymore. Mostly because I ignored you and you deserve better than that.

Take care.

From this weeks Development Announcement:

4. Reading Filters


The new "content filters" code is currently going into testing so that people can really bang on them and make sure they work. The reason it's taking so long - and I suppose I can spill the beans now - is that we added quite a bit of functionality to what you're used to.

In particular, we've made it so that when you create a content filter and add someone to it, you can now set options on which content, exactly, you want to see. For example, with the new system, you can do the following:

* Create a filter, name it 'Tech Stuff'
* Show posts by [info - staff] mark with ANY OF the tags: perl, code, computers, tech
* Show posts in [info - community] dw_dev posted by a community maintainer
* Show posts in [info - community] dw_biz
* Show posts in [info] randomstuff with Safe For Work content

What does this filter show you? Exactly what it says. Any posts I make that are tagged with one of the listed tags (you can also choose 'all of' and 'none of'). Plus, posts in the first community that were made by a maintainer. All posts from the second community. And from the third, posts that are flagged as Safe For Work (or have no flag set).

These options give you a lot of flexibility over what you see and don't see in your filters. If you know that someone posts things that you don't care about, and they always tag it "tmi", you can now make sure that those posts don't show up on your reading page.

The system is pretty flexible, too. As people come up with new and interesting filters they want to make, we can fairly easily add them. If you have any great ideas for filters that you'd love to have, let me know.

Of course, one thing to note is that this is mostly a paid user feature. Free users will have access to create basic content filters which are exactly what you're used to from other sites. Only paid users will be able to filter by tag, poster, etc.

I expect an early version of reading filters to be in the next code push -- late August/early September.

SO MUCH LOVE FOR THIS ONE!

Warnings: You mean other than the rating? Uhm, schmoopiness? (That's totally a word ...)
Disclaimer: Bla bla, LIES, bla bla, I don't make money with this and Jared and Jensen belong to themselves. I stole the OC names from existing people on my flist but I doubt that they mind.
Summary: They just can't agree.
A/N: Written for daisiesdaily as a THANK YOU for getting that Steve Carlson CD for silme711's birthday. It still means a lot to me and her that you did that for us. Sorry it took me so long to finish this. ♥

Because compromising is what grownups do

Once again I cut a few people.

If you were among them and feel like I shouldn't have done that or talked to you first or something like that, tell me. I swear I didn't cut you because I hate you. You got cut because I haven't talked to you in a while, because I think we didn't really click in the end or have been out of touch for so long that I don't know anymore why I friended you in the first place.

I hope there aren't any hard feelins with any of you.

Take care, I'll see you around.

Because arabella_hope said so and because it's true:


( Show Dean Winchester some love. Maybe like this: )

Please add more facts and pictures, clips and whatever you can think of to this entry. And show it around. ♥

Sorry guys but it just didn't work out or maybe I haven't seen you around in ages. I'm sure you'll have fun around LJ even without me. Take care and all the best. Thanks for the good times.

Teeny, tiny friends cut. If you got cut it's cause we haven't talked in a very long time (means at least more than a year) or not at all if you've been added during the last 6 months.

Take care.

You Still Do That To Me

Tags: momo: wrote, pairing: alec/eliot

Alright guys, we gotta talk about this.

It's longish but I'll love you forever if you'll take the time to read and hear what I'm saying. And it makes me sad to read all those "I got one just so I got one" and "I got one that I won't use EXCEPT everyone else is going there, too" comments. Doesn't mean I don't love you guys but ... yeah. Just maybe hear me out?

( Cut for your flist's sake )

Have been neglecting those for a while, haven't I?


2 J² recs ... and they don't go under the cut just 'cause!

Jared has a plan so cunning it could outfox a fox that teaches cunning at Cambridge University.

SO HILARIOUS! Post!Aussie-con fic FTW ♥


Underneath The Weight Of It All [NC-17] [31,000]
by _mournthewicked

Jared stopped trying to fit all the broken pieces of himself back together a long time ago. But then he meets Jensen, and he thinks it might be time to try again.

I'm gonna tell you this 'cause it's not REALLY a spoiler. Jared has Dissociative Identity Disorder. That's multiple personalities, you guys. AND THIS FIC IS AWESOME! You'll LOVE it! Even if you don't read anything else anytime soon: READ THIS ONE! It's the kind of fic that sticks for a while. It'll linger in your brain just as it did in mine! Also? It has MISHA COLLINS AND I LOVE HIM!

Now, on to some other pairings, okay?
