I swear this won't become a health-complaint-of-the-day blog

But it's the first day I haven't been flattened by work in weeks and I've been flattened by the grippe.

And Dear Roommate is having a large and drunken gathering in our living room in about six hours.

If anyone wants to drop me some fic recs, I will be on the couch all day and barricaded in my room all night. So they would be much appreciated. On the other hand, I hope all USians east of the Mississippi are outside enjoying this weather. It is really pretty out!

At least I'm all the way outside of the spider-bite-side-effect window now. One thing at a time! Thanks, Universe!

And this is a wonderful list, thank you! I've read about a third of them, but I've also lost the links to most of those, and it's been long enough that these are worth a re-read.

If you ever get tired of continually hearing from me, let me know. I will not be offended.

Dude, my first reaction to seeing this post was ::glomps phnelt:: but I wasn't sure if you know me well enough for Internet Glomps. In summary, it makes me happy when you comment. You say nifty things! And, in this case, bring presents.

*twirls you* Yeah, it's just that I know that I can be kind of... intense, and it's not like you can force me to not comment, like how you can not pick up the phone when someone calls.

Dude, beer pong. Not cool.

I didn't really try to pick lesser known fics, because hey, don't argue with goodness. And also, trying to find links after you've lost them can be hell sometimes. If you do run out of fic, a)I did a SPN post. b)I can do more. My bookmarks are subdivided by genre, since I am not cool enough (read too lazy) to get a del.icio.us, so it was just easy to do all AUs. Try to survive the party happening around you, and enjoy your fic.

intense is something people say about me too. I get REALLY FREAKING EXCITED about words and ideas. Sometimes a little too excited for people. Tell you what, I promise to let you know if I'm trying to back away slowly, and until I do you can assume I'm delighted to see you. And you can do me the same favor! as far as backing-away-slowly notification.

See, the hinky thing is, if they wanted to play beer pong in my living room at ten in the morning? I'd be totally okay with it. Two a.m, not so much. But my roommate has held only one large drunken shindig all year, so I'm trying to be tolerant.

I have a huge giant pile of recs now, and I'm tempted to get greedy and ask for more, but I will be good and wait until I've read through what I've got. Which, with the speed that my brain works at this time of night, will take a while.

Deal. I promise to say something if you will do me the same favour. Yeah, I get extremely excited about things. Especially ideas. That's why I feel so lucky to have found fandom, a collection of people who go as in depth as I do and have actual communities devoted to nothing but meta. I feel the love. It's kind of the reason I work for Starbucks, they're all as crazy as me.

You didn't ask, but I posted more SPN anyway. Just FYI. If you have brain, you should go read explain the ocean and feel fulfilled deep inside.

That's how I feel about academia, which is one reason I'm going to have trouble ever leaving school. Everybody gets so excited! About things that normal people just WTF at!

To me, fandom is just like academia, except the discussion happens more quickly, and there's spaceships and porn.

More recs! ::builds metaphorical giant pillow fortress of recs:: This is awesome.
