I suck at titles so I really relate to this

If all films were produced by the people that created the movie "Snakes on a Plane". My favorite is "Shanks in a Plane."

That'll do, pig.

I feel really disgusted with myself this weekend. Somehow, in the space of 2.25 days I managed to consume the equivalent of a box of Girl Scout cookies (mostly Thin Mints with a few Samoas) and an entire. bag. of. chips. Cry. WAH I AM WEAK.

Had a date on Saturdya. Same guy as last week that I never wrote about. Like last week, it was fun--though my lower back is really sore on the right from some behind the back pool shots I think ow--but I'm just not attracted to the guy in a romantic sense. He's fun, so I wouldn't mind being friends if he's up for that. The only bug now is that I have to have That Conversation--tell me, is it bad to do it over aim if that's the only way we ever talk? It just seems weird to meet him or call him JUST for that. Meh.

Had a couple interesting dreams. In one, I married a co-worker o.O which I think was symbolism for date ambivalence. In the other, I went to the moon and it was AWESOME. From the moon, we had a very good view of people on earth--like, you could see actual people, but they couldn't see us. My astronaut partner explained that this was because on earth, the moon looks small, but on the moon, the earth looks big.

Dream logic.

Last night I had another "gotta get there" dream in which a couple friends and I were trying to get to some musical competition. I was in a hurry because we weren't going to practice until we were at the competition. To my surprise, the dream actually did progress, but we didn't get to play--I woke up as I was fetching my trumpet. Shucks.

The Bleach fic dump, Part 1

I've been swearing to do this and now it's here yay. This is just what the subject line says--links to the better Bleach fics I've found since I started seriously digging through fandom. Most of these feature Ichigo and Rukia or are Ichigo/Rukia since I found a bunch of fics while tagging every single post in ichi_ruki, but I think there's something here for everyone.

Let's go.

1) "Six Degrees of Separation" by anime_babble
Everything connects. For Ichigo, life comes full circle.
Moments in time from Ichigo's life. Some nice language and character exploration without falling into the "emo reflection with no forward motion" trap.

2) "Proposition" by peroxidepest17
“Hey…we should get married, or something.”
Totally not romantic, which is why I like it so much.

3) "White Day Mishaps" by zelel
Part One
Part Two
Part Three
At Karakura High School, White Day is celebrated a little differently.
The traditional holiday-and-dance fic except it's totally not traditional or romantic thus it is funny.

4) "24 Frames Per Second" by didnti
There are things that one never forgets. Moments a mind will think of when it begins mixing elements of fiction into the reality of things.
More moments in time from Ichigo's life with a little more romance.

5) "Singing in the Rain" by zelel
Her voice falters and her eyes return to the window, watching as the rain pounds the glass pane unmercifully. “I killed him, you know.”
Memories and flowers. Ichigo/Rukia.

6) "Life's Little Roadblocks" by worst_case
"Stupid Urahara. Gigais aren't supposed to be able to get sick."
Why you should always read your gigai's user manual. Ichigo/Rukia, funny.

7) "The Fundamental Theorem of Parental Politics (or, How to Hide from Your Dad)" and "Window Shopping (or, How to Empty Your Checking Account in One Day)" by worst_case
Fuck the landlord. Fuck the outside world. This is a DEFCON 1 situation.
Follow-ups to Life's Little Roadblocks. More humor and cuteness.

8) "Like So Many Pages" by berrygold
The story wasn’t ending correctly, she thought. Or maybe, there was still an epilogue.
Nanao and Soul Society and non-emo reflection.

9) "Iron Chef, You Are Not" by autophanous
Ichigo turned sixteen with a noisemaker in his ear and a shinigami in his face.
Fluffy humor.

10) "Ichigo's Big Birthday Surprise" by zelel
“I don’t think this is such a good idea.”
“Why not? I saw people do it on TV.”
All-dialogue. All-hilarious.
