Jess's Favorite Fanfic Quotes

Jan. 9th, 2010 | 05:57 pm

I need to start a post that is simply my favorite lines from fanfic.

Angel

Holland." He stood, holding his hand across the desk to his mentor. "I thought you were still in New York, dealing with that little matter for the Giovanellis." A little matter of their undead godfather getting busted -- again -- for tax evasion. Some things just never changed.

Holland returned the handshake, and added a paternal smile that creased his well-worn face and made him look like someone's grandfather. "It's all taken care of; Don Giovanelli will shortly be, ah, resting in peace once more. Hello, Lilah."
- from "Forgiven Chapter 5: Nobody's Buisness" -

Harry Pottter

Yep, that's right folks. For the first time, I managed to get past 50,000 words written in a month.  TOY isn't finished, and about 5,000 or so of the words are another fic I started thats an AU of WK verse to keep my brain from stop writing yet take a break from TOY.  I'm going to take a break for the next couple days unless I get alot of inspiration and have to write to catch up on school work.  Then I shall start revising.  I have chapters 1 & 2 up on FF.net if you want a taste of what TOY is like.  I'm in need of a beta (actually I'm still looking for a beta for the first fic, Who knew.  I have a bad problem keeping beta's around and finding them in the first place).

Testing out Google Chrome right now, as it apparently came with Google Earth, which I have been amusing myself with this weekend as I find pictures of my house and realise...it was ugly, and still is.  Although points get taken off for when I typed in www.fanfiction.net/ one of thier options contionued with books/twilight.  Smart you are, but not quite smart enough.  Granted, it did figure out I wanted NCIS when I typed TV after the /.  Which brings me to two comments

1.  Is it just me or did they just add a bunch of the minor characters?
2. The summeries for the newer stuff...well, scares me.

How did I not realise John Francis Daley was on Freaks & Geeks.  It just never entered my mind.  No wonder I love Sweets so much:)  ALthough now, thinking about it, I can see him in F&G and he is right.  He is 3 feet taller.  Also, he has a better hair cut.

Pittsburgh Penguin Picspam And Comment post

Jun. 12th, 2009 | 11:40 pm

So, not so long ago, the Pens hoisted the Trophy known as the Stanley Cup for the the third time.  Sidney Crosby became the youngest Captain in history to have the honor.  Mario, the Captain who hoisted the last two times, was in attendance.  Malkin got MVP.

To celebrate I present a Picspam, and a public entry.  When the Steelers won the Superbowl this year, I had a spam post, but I am not putting that on the Pens.  But it will be open for whoever wants to join in and if it becomes a Spam post, I'm not going to be angry.

So Congrats to the Pens for winning the Stanley Cup.  And Congrats to my hometown for not one but TWO professional sports trophies.

Where is my McGee!!

Dear Tripod,

It really sucks to visit a site on your server where just clicking on the page to be able to scroll using up and down buttons or the mouse and getting pop ups.

Dear AOL

Its really annoying that every time Tripod has a pop up you hide behind other windows it really is

Many things, amigos(as), Many things.

Feb. 13th, 2009 | 01:46 am

The point of this meme is that I responded to another person doing it, and she assigned me five categories which she associated with me.  In return, I post them here, with what I have to say about them, and people respond to this to get their five (unless of course, they just want to respond.  Or not).

So, [info]shipperfey gave me:

1. Crossovers

Ah.  Yeah, I do alot of crossovers.  And several are multi-fandom, not just a set of two.  I have one ongoing LJ based fic that has about every fandom I can fit, and I write characters based on my friends.  Its basically crack fic.  Its not meant to be taken seriously (for example, the character based on me talks to a ceramic squirrel)

My first crossover was Harry Potter and A Life Less Ordinary. My latest was Stargate SG-1 and NCIS

2. Family

I rant alot about mine.  Mostly my parents, and even then mostly my Dad.  Which I haven't done lately, but there is a rant building up and a ramble as to what strange thing has occurred to the clan lately.

I also tend to write families into my fics.  I don't know if this is some kind of psychological thing where I try to write something due to whats happening in my life or what.

3. Star Wars

Got to love Star Wars.  Although I didn't see it till I was in Middle school.   I remember my first Star Wars expirence was coming into the class in Sixth grade and seeing Luke cut off Vader's hand and then flexing his own metal hand.  And I thought that whatever he cut off of Vader was becoming him (Cut of the hand, your hand turns metal etc).  [info]jannamaxwell soon set me right and convinced me to watch the Trilogy.   I decided to start at the beginning...The Phantom Menace.  Luckily for George Lucas, this was before AoTC, so he got my money during theater time.  Twice actually.  Once with a guy who snored so loudly, it almost blended in with the sonic booms (which ironically woke him up).



4. Star Trek

Just in case someone who wishes not to be spoiled hasn't seen any Trek. )

Um...I think perhaps I have rambled enough here.  Probably more then you wanted to know about me and my Star Trek.  Just wait till the movie comes out and I spend a few days once again posting about how gorgeous Chris Pine is and various plot points.  For reference, remember the Princess Diaries II era.

You know, I feel like some picspam now
Now I finally understand the draw Kirk had on Alien woman.... )
Now I shall move on because if I don't my mom will find me tomorrow morning still staring into my laptop at him. ;)

5. Steelers.

Heh.  Yeah.  I'm a Pittsburgh Girl.  No matter where I live, thats my hometown.  Its where I was born.  And in my family, the Steelers are a tradition.  I'm not a big fan of sports, unless I'm involved in actually playing (and I lack any athletic ability of value, so that doesn't happen often) but I'll turn in for a Steelers game once and awhile (although I can honestly say I watched about 15 minutes of total game time during the entire season this year.).  Football is probably the only sport where I can figure out what the players are doing.  (Hockey, while easier score wise, confuses me.) 

And I probably have a little bit of a crush on Ben.   Not because I think he's cute (although, if I think about it, he kinda is), but because he's the face of the Steelers pretty much.  Does that make any sense.

And I love the fact that the Steelers make Pittsburgh their home.  They come and stay.  Jerome Bettis still lives around here I believe, and many of the 70s team work in the area. Lynn Swann tried to become Governor.

Although, Terry Bradshaw, I could have gone without seeing your behind.  Even if you helped win four super bowls for us.  (For those of you who are wondering what I'm talking about, watch "Failure to Launch".).  Although I have to admit, you added 'The Naked Room!" to my lexicon of sayings.  Now whenever there is unexpected nudity, I can say that and my sister knows I'm talking about.  (and yes, it has bene used on Star Trek.  Actually, thats the only time I've used it so far, and thats only because Pholx was behind a tank, just like in FTL)

The Superbowl Spam Post

Jan. 31st, 2009 | 08:39 pm

I'm doing it now so I don't forget.  This is a public entry, so invite friends and introduce them to everyone here.   You can discuss anything, from the actual game, to the commercials, to some random thing you found on the Internet last week.  I'm only putting two nos:  Politics and religion.  Because that always brings fights.  So anything else can be discussed.  I know some are already planning to talk about Moonlight's new run on Sci-fi.

Post will be open until there are too many comments to remain open.  You can start to post now, wait till tomorrow or whenever. 

So post away.    If you are the ones wanting to be the record, its 1,024 I believe. 

(and on a side note, my computer is telling me that internet is not a word. It should either be internee or inter net.)

Ancestry of Jess, Pureblood innermarriage and Izzie/George...there is a theme.

May. 19th, 2007 | 02:08 am
location: Grandma D's
mood: curious curious
music: Boys Will Be Boys -Panic! at the Disco

Well I found something new about myself today.

Many people have heard me refer to myself as a Euro-mutt because of the mix of ethnicities in my family.

German, Greek, Welsh, English, Scottish, Irish (There's the UK), and now I have found out that I am possibly Jewish as well.

According to my grandmother my Aunt has found a link to one of the lost tribes of Isreal or something like that. Apparently a great-great-great grandmother or so forth was a french Jew.

This has me wondering if I should add french to my ancestery as well. Too bad we haven't found any romanian because that would have been cool.

I need an Alex/Izzie fic. Badly. Something to get my mind off the fact that George and Izzie have admited love. Or at least that is what I have been told. And it sounds like Greys at the moment.

So does anyone know a good Alex/Izzie fic I can find that takes place in the later half of season 3?

Fic research that HP fans might find interesting about Pureblood intermarriages or anyone just interseted in figuring out what the hell is a third cousin twice removed )
