So hey, you guys remember [livejournal.com profile] nothing_hip? The summer fic challenge where guilty pleasure songs are the inspiration? Yeah, I'm bringing it back for 2008. The first challenge song will be posted this Sunday, so go join the community and get ready to write stories based on Miley Cyrus songs. All fandoms and people welcome! Further details are in the community info.

So, I did the meme where someone gives you a letter and you upload 5 songs that start with that letter. [livejournal.com profile] moireach gave me D! Comment if you want your own letter.

* Dream Awake by The Frames
* Dreaming of You by The Coral
* Dear Mr. Supercomputer by Sufjan Stevens
* Downtown Seoul by The Mountain Goats (and okay, this is a BJ/Hawkeye song if I've ever heard one)
* Don't Think Twice, It's Alright by Nick Drake

In other news, I am probably going to die of heat stroke any minute now. What up, summer! Nothing like being covered in sweat literally five minutes after getting out of a cold shower.

P.S. Did you guys know Damian Lewis plays soccer?

Ahahahahahaha, oh GOD. SHUT UP.

Hey, also, when I post about our marathon, I think I'm going to include screencaps. JUST FOR ILLUSTRATIVE PURPOSES.

HAHA PLEASE, the proximity of those thoughts INVITED comment grossness. I JUST STATE THE OBVIOUS IS ALL.

Heee, I am pro! DUDE WE ARE ALMOST DONE. WTF.

Haha, yes, in retrospect, it was my own fault. I'm Joey. I'm disgusting.

SERIOUSLY, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO WHEN WE'RE DONE? Just sit around waiting for The Escapist to come out? I DON'T THINK THAT'S GOING TO BE FULFILLING ENOUGH.

Hahahaha, god, this is so sad and true. Some of the past roles have been bad enough without the addition of...er...being both an analyst and a therapist, to put it politely.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Oh God. Yes. Exactly.

(Did you see the way he was walking in the trailer for it? HOW DOES HE MAKE HIS WALK DIFFERENT FOR EVERY CHARACTER? W-Why am I talking about this publicly?)

Re: ::raised eyebrow::

[identity profile] agate.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
B-because it's important to make everyone else aware of things that are awesome? (Also, because it's the only way to find out whether they're actually awesome or just awesome to crazy people?)

Re: ::raised eyebrow::

[identity profile] annakovsky.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 07:40 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahahaha. HEY EVERYBODY, DAMIAN LEWIS IS A FINE ACTOR WITH INTENSITY. I think. I can't see through my lust glasses, but I'm pretty sure that's true.

Heee, too bad only crazy people read this journal. FANDOM, YOU ARE NO SCIENTIFIC SAMPLE GROUP.

[identity profile] calendae.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
So this Life show? Should I be watching?

Also, yay! Frivolous fandom hijinks! I need summer distractions liek whoa.

[identity profile] annakovsky.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)
You should totally watch! It is an EXCELLENT show -- really complicated, interesting characters, and good writing, and basically I just love it a lot. I can give you download links if you want them!

I knoooow, right? The internet has already slowed down for the summer, it's laaame!

[identity profile] calendae.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 08:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! Send me links! I am so fricken bored now that rerun season has started. Reality tv can only take me so far, Show Business! I need new entertainment content.

I'm going to write the crap out of nothing hip challenges.

[identity profile] annakovsky.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Sweeeet! I really hope you like it, I'll send the links now.

YAY! I'm hoping nothing_hip hopes alleviate the boredom, for realsies.

[identity profile] grenadine.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
*totally wasn't going to suggest using Miley Cyrus before realizing you'd already mentioned her*

Uh, anyway, I'll take a letter!

[identity profile] annakovsky.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 07:11 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahahahaha. See You Soon is just a good song! I-I would also do the Jonas Brothers if I had any of their mp3s. I mean, what, who said that.

How about... M!

[identity profile] fiorie.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 07:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh man, [livejournal.com profile] nothing_hip! I'm super excited about it.

THAT PICTURE. DON'T DO THAT, IT'S SWELTERING ENOUGH IN HERE AS IT IS. Hahaha, I'm sadly behind in Life-watching, so once I get back on track with everything, expect a lot of capslocky emails about things you guys probably talked about a million years ago!

[identity profile] annakovsky.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahaha, I'm looking forward to how everyone will do the first three challenges, and then stop! Oh, nothing_hip.

HIS TONGUE IS STICKING OUT A LITTLE. Oh God. Haha. I'm still so psyched you're watching Life! And I am fully, fully ready to talk about it at any time. A-As you may have noticed.

(Also, I need to watch Skins!)

[identity profile] fiorie.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 07:34 pm (UTC)(link)
HAHAHA TRUE. Sometimes fic is like that limerick about the pelican, that my grandfather used to quote to me when I was 5 and I took more ice cream than I could eat.

I KNOW, HIS TONGUE. AND HIS INTENSITY. AND YES, WATCH SKINS.

[identity profile] annakovsky.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
HEE. Does that limerick have such rhymes as pelican with belly-can?

HIS INTENSITY IS PRETTY CHARACTERISTIC. I can't remember, have you seen BoB? B-Because there are some redheaded intense heroics.

[identity profile] fiorie.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
YES. I-I personally put too many fic ideas in my beak sometimes. Last summer I would have these flashes of ideas for EVERY PROMPT and ended up writing, like, two or three of them.

I'VE OWNED THE BoB TIN BOX SET FOR YEARS. Although I've only watched through it once (not including my initial viewing of it on the History Channel) because it's pretty emotionally trying for me. But if you guys are planning a rewatch soon I would have shoulders to cry on! LET ME KNOW.

[identity profile] annakovsky.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
God, I know, right? So many ideas, so little time! And I have so much to write already! AND YET.

THE TIN BOX SET IS SO AWES. HOORAY! And man, I know, right? All those old men crying and stuff. It's WRENCHING. But we will totally have to get the rewatch going!

[identity profile] miss-bennie.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
The first challenge song will be posted this Sunday, so go join the community and get ready to write stories based on Miley Cyrus songs.

Okay, if you don't use "See You Again" as one of the songs, I will be VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Also, that reminds me that I am SUPER behind in watching Life, I'm still only through the 3rd episode. DON'T DEFRIEND ME.

(WOW, I never thought of that as a BJ/Hawkeye song. This is why we're friends.)

[identity profile] annakovsky.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
Heeeee, I... really think "See You Again" might be the first song, tell you the truth. I just can't help myself.

Haha, well, I haven't watched Skins at all yet, so you still have the moral high ground. I AM GOING TO VERY SOON, THOUGH. But oh, ep 4 of Life is super good! You have awesome things ahead of you.

M pointed out to me that it was a BJ/Hawkeye song! IT MAKES THE SONG EXTREMELY EXCELLENT.

[identity profile] miss-bennie.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Your best friend Leslie says that you're just being kov-sky.

Hahahahaha, moral high ground. HOW SOON IS VERY? I JUST WANT TO KNOW SUCH THINGS. A-And I'm going to get back on the Life train this week, I swear!

[identity profile] annakovsky.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
To Aslan, all times are soon? Hahaha, I'm not sure, maybe tomorrow night? I WILL KEEP YOU APPRAISED, FOR SURE. As you must do for Life, clearly.

You know what you could write for nothing_hip? Life fic. I'm just saying.

[identity profile] miss-bennie.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 10:16 pm (UTC)(link)
You know what you could write for nothing_hip? Life fic. I'm just saying.

There is an obvious retort to this, but it would be beneath me so I'm just going to stare pointedly at my icon while clearing my throat and shuffling my feet.

[identity profile] sophia-helix.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 07:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Letter pls? And augh, like I need to put more story ideas in the "to-be-written" file... but I'm a sucker for guilty pleasure songs. Will boyott Miley, however.

[identity profile] annakovsky.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
In Soviet Russia, Miley boycotts you.

How about... C!

[identity profile] irishmizzy.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 07:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahaha, now I'm going to spend the rest of my day singing "See You Again" and thinking about Damian Lewis playing soccer. I PREDICT LITTLE TO NO WORK WILL GET DONE. I'm not complaining, but there is a 95% chance I will st-st-st-stutter if someone asks me what I'm thinking 'bout.

[identity profile] annakovsky.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahahaha. YOU ARE VERY WELCOME, SIR. It's too hot to work, anyway. They can't expect that of us!

[identity profile] moireach.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh she just bein' 'Mizzy.

[identity profile] sloanesomething.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
I would write something for "See You Again." I'm just putting that out in the universe.

...out like Damian Lewis's tongue when he's about to BITE IT OFF WATCH IT DAMIAN JESUS.

[identity profile] annakovsky.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahaha, GOOD TO KNOW. It might be first up, you'll just have to wait and see!

HEE. It's so nice of you to be concerned about his health.

[identity profile] imogenics.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 07:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not sure Miley Cyrus exists here. I had never heard that See You Again song until last week! (Which, wow, that is probs the tamest pop song I've heard in a thousand years. She wants to see him again so they can...make awkward small talk? This makes me feel like I was raised on pop music that was rated NC-17 for genie-in-a-bottle or sex-slave-related metaphors.)

I would like a letter pls!

[identity profile] annakovsky.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 08:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Heee, oh man. Is England some kind of land lacking terrible pop? Are they too busy playing Michael Jackson at all times?

Haha, awkward small talk, I know, right? She... really is 15? I guess?

How about... S!

(God, I owe you so much email -- I'm still looking for tickets to come visit for maybe August? But stupid oil prices, everything's monstrously expensive. BUT I PERSEVERE.)

[identity profile] grimorie.livejournal.com 2008-06-10 10:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I knew he played soccer but I didn't know he played like in a team sort of play. I thought he was just playing in the field like other boys. And, hey, didn't Charlie kick that soccer ball in Serious Control Issues?

I miss Charlie.

[identity profile] annakovsky.livejournal.com 2008-06-11 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I didn't know he did either -- I have the feeling this is maybe for some fund-raising charity kind of thing? But I don't know why I think that so it might be totally wrong, haha.

(God, when Charlie kicked that soccer ball in Serious Control Issues I had some FEELINGS, let me tell you. Apparently when I played soccer in high school I imprinted on a certain kind of boy? Yikes.)

I miss Charlie toooooooooo. God, is it October yet?

[identity profile] vonniek.livejournal.com 2008-06-11 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, helllloooooo. I'm feeling all weird about finding a dude wearing knee-socks hot, but. Um. *TMI statement deleted*

A letter, por favor!

[identity profile] annakovsky.livejournal.com 2008-06-11 05:08 am (UTC)(link)
HEE. Hey, they're SHIN GUARDS. It's serious business! Serious... HOT BUSINESS. God, for reals, that picture does some dirty, dirty things to me. Um. Yes.

How about... T!

ooh I want a letter! :D

Thanks! :D

Sometimes I think about how many of the words I know to that Miley song, and it makes me sad for me. But then I just keep singing. I don't know, it's complicated.

So, that picture. GUH. Haha, how many emails went back and forth between you and [livejournal.com profile] agate about it? It's okay, you can tell me.

HEE. Knowing Miley words is just awesome, don't be ashamed! The next time we hang out, I will redeem myself, my heart can't rest till then. Whoa-oh-oh-oh.

Haha, how many emails went back and forth between you and [info]agate about it?

HEE. Let's just say "many" and leave it at that.
