Help my depression

[cornerofmadness]

give this meme a shot Give me a title to a story you think I should've written, including (if you wish) fandom and pairings, and I'll write a summary who knows you might inspire me to write something.

Why am I depressed? Not ONE student thought my kitty cd-rom was cool. No one looked at it. Hell, they barely wanted to dissect. Whine all you want guys, these kitties have to last 8 more weeks. They ain't going to get any better smelling. Yes you must cut into them. No, you can relax I will NOT touch you with my gloves if they're dirty so if I touched you you know I'm barehanded or freshly re-gloved. Yes I DO put my tools in my pants pocket. I'm used to touching this stuff and being covered in toxic goo, relax. I'm not dead yet. Yes, i DID touch it with my bare hands. Just don't you do it. If you scream, you best be gushing blood and not because embalming fluid spat at you! And yes you will all be vegetarians by the end of this because I can't help making food references. Deal with it. Pathology/Physiology/Anatomy are ripe with these analogies. It makes a quick point

Dear Student #1 - okay, so you've done this before, telling me that does NOT make me let you out of lab. I put YOU in charge of helping your fellow students.

Dear Student #2 - Asking me which labs the lab practical is one while I'm HANDING OUT the test makes me want to embalm you. Don't do it.

Dear Lab Company - don't know where the fuck you get these anemic cats but damn, either you send me catzilla or some scrawny bastard even I can't find the muscles on.

Dear Students in general - you've beaten me. I'll only put two muscles from the cats on the exam Latissimis Dorsi and Serratus Anterior. You got a 50/50 shot so expect me to ask you WHAT THEY DO!! And expect these cats back when we get to organs and no whining then or else I'll pull the organs out and tag them sans reference points. I swear it.

No. No he would not. Ed-muse is actually horrified, with his mouth hanging open and his brows knotting and he's muttering whether alchemy works through computers. *grin*

whether alchemy works through computers.

Well, Roy seems to think it works through phone lines, as often as he's threatened to incinerate Maes over the phone.

And yeah, I think tormenting Ed may be one of my very favorite pastimes. My God, I'm turning into a sadist.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Oh it's fun. You only hurt the ones you love

[mjules.livejournal.com]

*tilts head* Well if you draw the line between hurt and harm, I suppose, because there are some people (*coughTuckercough*) that would pay a great deal of money to cause a great deal of very harmful pain.

But as far simple tormenting? Of course. *ruffles Ed's hair*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes i do draw the line between a little hurting and actually harm. I like to watch the former a bit (which I just noticed my tantric sex AND Sex Tips from a Domintrix books are right on the shelf next to the mysteries hope mom missed them)

[mjules.livejournal.com]

*giggles* I hope your mom missed them, too. And yeah, I've always drawn the line between hurt and harm. It gets strange around me if you don't know my semantics, because my language is very particular. "Yelling" means "rebuking harshly," whereas "shouting" is "raising your voice." (This has been the source of many misunderstandings when I say, "Don't yell at me!" to which the person responds, "I wasn't yelling!" and I have to say, "Yes, you were. You just weren't shouting.")

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i tend to make the same distinction between yelling and shouting as well

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Tormenting Ed is fun, though. It's going to be a hobby of mine for a long time. *laugh*

[mjules.livejournal.com]

Well he just reacts so beautifully! You can't help but keep prodding for reactions.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Ed's just glaring at this point. Trying really hard not to react. *nods*

[mjules.livejournal.com]

I'm very, very proud of him. At least he's trying!

I think I'll buy him a step ladder for his birthday as a reward.

I AM NOT SHORT! - Ed

[mjules.livejournal.com]

No, you're not, dear.


You're just vertically challenged.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Ed FLAILS.

[mjules.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry, Ed - for everything.

(He hasn't quite got a whiff of what's happening to him yet in the X-Files crossover, but Al is very distressed with me and Roy's in near-manic mode and ... well, Mulder and Scully managed to take me back to late S5/early S6 so there's Diana tension going on with them, and... oh, it's a mess. Six pages worth of a mess so far.)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Wheee. I can't wait to see this. And just as X-Files actually ended in about year 6, Fullmetal Alchemist ended with episode oh, 40 or so. The stuff that came after didn't exist (much like Buffy that really ended with the Gift...)

[mjules.livejournal.com]

This thing is going to be a monster. Six pages in and I'm barely done with the set-up. *facepalm* And still working out the details of the whole plot. Riza told me the first part, Mulder told me the second. And there are still SOOO many details that I do not yet know. Gah. (That's probably good, though; finding out the details is what keeps me writing. If I already know them, I lose interest in the story and quit.)

X-Files fragmented in S7. There are a few eps I like from that season and keep as canon. The rest I discard completely. (The "resolution" of the Samantha mytharc being one of them.) S8 and S9 I disregard in their entirety. STUPIDITY. *hugs Krycek and TLG close*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I really miss Krycek he was so damn sexy and I can't remember any m ore what came in which season but I know 8-9 were god awful. I also was NEVER a fan of the alien subplot.

Don't you love getting handed a monster story by your brain. That's what's killing me in these stupid ficathons of mine. It's like brain I don't have TIME for this

[mjules.livejournal.com]

Oh guh, Krycek. And his death was so... so... blunt and inelegant and NOT befitting his character. It was almost an afterthought, like they said, "Oh, we don't really want to bother with resolving his character arc, so let's just kill him. Here - write in a handgun for somebody and we'll give him an execution-style death in a parking lot." WTF!? *smacks Chris Carter around*

I was on-and-off with the alien thing. My favorite part was really when Mulder was convinced it was all a government/military ruse. (Which is a fun little toy to play with since he and Roy are going to be getting into lots of trouble together.)

And, uh, yes. I hate monster stories because they almost NEVER get finished. Although I suppose I should be encouraged: the only one I ever did finish was an X-Files. So maybe I'm capable of finishing this one. ;-) (Of course, I also had an aggressive beta who would email me and say, "Hey, slacker, where's the next part?" *G*)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Yeah I had lots and lots of issues with Krychek's death.

see I almost always finish my monster stories

[mjules.livejournal.com]

I'm not really sure why I don't, unless I get so overwhelmed by the sheer idea of it that I freak myself out and just ignore it. Which seems like a valid possibility considering that pattern shows up a lot in other areas of my life.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I do have some troubles like that. my failure to complete comes from distractions and my multiple twins inside my head

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE HEE.
