I've got too much time to think...

song: Someone to Watch Over Me - Crazy for You/Another National Anthem - Assassins

Okay. So I was going to post my exuberance on Friday. I'll go back and edit that post and do the update on those coupla days in a little while. I haven't had the energy. It was a strange high. I promise I'll go back and write it up, though, because OH MY GOD MY CHOIR DIRECTOR IS FUCKING INSANE I LOVE HIM. *Giggles* Just... oh Scotty B.

But... uhm. Yesterday I had piano lesson--I LOVE Mozart, really I do. And love sightreading him, playing him, analyzing every chord as I go along that I can while still playing... aaaaah, music.  Anyway, then my Tessa came over and we watched Fruits Basket. It was lots of fun.  I love my Tessa. And I gave her the Audrey Hepburn book that I got that I didn't care for one way or another, but she LOVES Hepburn, so... she's happy. And that makes me happy. Even if we didn't get to see Golden Compass. Bah humbug.  Today, had rehearsal, forgot, was late, etc, bad day. Ugh.

Tyroshaun is incredibly good at the guilt complex thing. Lord, he'll find a way to blame himself for anything and everything.

... WARNING. This is a writing-filled post and there are five hundred tags because... well, yes. It's everything that's in here. And a summary of my mind at the moment, so it is necessary. For my record keeping. Skip ahead if you'd like.

Anyway. The other thing about yesterday... I rambled at/with LG, and WHOOT FOR WORLDBUILDING. Ohmigod, LG, you save my life.   Just... lord oh lord, you save my life. And I get to keep my other 'verse too now, despite Apocalypse!verse... which is what I'm calling that one, for the simple fact that... okay, I'll put that in below with my list of my private playground 'verses. So I've essentially got four 'verses right now, one on the front burner, one sort of... in the tea-kettle for sipping at, and two on the back burner.  One... based off an interesting fanfic idea I had that I may change so that I just have the epic sort of thing in that time period, so I'm not sure if I ought to count it as a verse or just a story. That's in the incubator.  And sort of in the pantry--not hot or cold and for snacking on, are my JA fanfic ideas.  Mostly P&P.  My Jeeves-JA mix, and my new theater!P&P fic.  (Come on, you all saw that coming--did you think I could resist the idea?)  I'm REALLY going to make Darcy blond in one of them. Just to break the paradigm. Not light blond, but... not blond. You can be broody without being dark-haired, dammit! I also do have a shortfic idea, for Sandman. *Grins* A Sweeney-Sandman story, actually. I mean... if Sweeney isn't a nightmare, than what is? Or it'll be a Corinthian-influencing-Benjamin-Barker/Sweeney-Todd.  But mainly I'd like to see Dream and Sweeney talking. *Grins*

...I love my head sometimes. *Grins* Now, the summary of the 'verses and the fics (and if you'd like any further information, please feel free to give me a nudge or ask for an email. ...why I'm offering, I don't know, as this is mostly for my own reference and mostly the five people who read this either A) already know, or B) will be told anyway by my rambling (sorry, LG-san), or C) won't be interested. I mean... the reason I keep this is mostly for my own memory, y'know? It's not like I have hordes of friends to keep up with... I never have. The ones I keep up with, I keep up with. I just need to write things out sometimes... anyway, still. If you'd like more info/the long and detailed plot explanation, let me know and I'll give it to you! Just be warned about the hours it'll need):

(...I don't know why I find the real world so damn boring. It's all about the high fantasy and the magic and occasionally the spaceships for me. It's odd. ...SPACESHIPS AHOY!)


So those are my seven (or nine... whoa, hey, my two favorite Significant Numbers!) ideas for writing lately. Sorry for the time I'm taking up, but I really, really needed to get that out. And it brought a smile to my face, which... I also desperately needed.  When I start singing from Assassins? Help is needed.

(With this analogy, you could say ideas seven and eight, the musicals, are the liquor cabinet: oh so enticing, out of bounds, and... ah, inducing giggles and insanity.)

...It occurs to me, now, that I HATE cooking and so maybe all those cooking analogies were singularly... bad.  Uhm. Usually I think of my head as a library, or a common room.  Or maybe a house.  A theater'd be a good analogy.  I'll... think of a better way of putting it.

Uhm. #1 is the big money high-class show (...Dunno, maybe a highly acclaimed Shakespeare or... dunno, Sweeney?), #2 the avant garde side gig (Mirrormask), #s 3 and 4 are scripts stuffed in a file drawer 'cause no one's bought 'em yet or in pre-production (Feeling Electric/whatever it's called now stupidheads), #s 5 and 6 are community theatre (my school's Crazy for You), #s 7 and 8 are The A Daily Show and The Colbert Report (bert/port, not bear/pore...), and #9 is that great idea about spaceships you had and haven't gotten around to dealing with.  To put it all in show-biz terms.

All I need to add to that is to have a #10 that was a long-running show that got cancelled. ...I wonder what some of those people who stuck around so long'll do... 

...My first smile in a while. That felt good.

EDIT: ... Aaand "I Know The Truth" is on. And it's making me, like, want to go curl up and die.  Partly for me, partly because I've got a hysterically sobbing character on my hands and it's painful. ...No. that's not right. Not sobbing. Not hysterical. Just...... this spot where everything sort of... curls up on itself, into a singularity. It's like a... grey hole? Not as extreme as a black hole, but... lord. It's hard.

Decided to get the damn book after all.  Maybe to make a bonfire?

Being yelled at for daring to think of burning a book. Shut up boys.

WARNING FOR KATIE: Fangirling and planning ensues.  Beware The Onset Of Heart Attacks.

I have a new favorite fandom.

Really.

Well, it doesn't top Pratchett, in my view of the world, not quite--but only because I'm a fantasy person and so Pratchett is Love.  And because Vetinari has a posh British accent, Carrot is totally Scottish, and Sam Vimes absolutely has to have a Cockney accent.  I mean, he's from the Shades.  Of course they speak Cockney there.

Although it then begs the question what accent does Angua have, 'cause as much as Uberwald is clearly Transylvania... she doesn't have the accent. Just no. *Frowns* I'm thinking... No, dammit, not Irish. Welsh or Cornwall I can see. No, no no, not allowed to be Irish... oh damn. Now I'm gonna hear that, aren't I? *Headdeskheaddeskheaddesk*

I hate you.  You know who you are. Aubrey, save me.

In the mean time, I want to pick up a Jeeves or a Bertie, but I'm not sure which. It'll wait until Certain People have watched the episodes and can take the other, though. God, those two alternate between best friends, brothers, and Slash, I swear.  Anyway... I had the rummiest idea.

Oh god save me from Bertie's speech patterns. They're haunting me.

Anyway, I thought of the loverly idea of a Jeeves/Pride and Prejudice crossover.  At first the thought occurred to me because Bertie reminds me of a less intelligent Bingley, and I thought "Hey! What if Jeeves served Bingley? That would prevent Darcy's lunatic interference, and then Jeeves could go work for Darcy, and help him out, and then go be employed by Bertie!"  Except then I realized I wouldn't have the easiest narrator.

So, enter my new project: Bertie Wooster, in order to escape the clutches of dearest Aunt Agatha and the fearsome Honoria Glossop, accepts an invitation from old Oxford chum Charles "Chuck" (or when really drunk or from, say, Bingo or Barmy or someone, "Bingles") Bingley, and naturally takes along the inimitable Jeeves. (And yes, I'm stealing that title to use as the title of the thing, just 'cause I love it). Cue Insanity and Interference. ...Which would be another good title for it, seeing as it's an Austen thing... it's what Blackadder would have called it...

...Yeah. Um. I've lost what mind I had.

Also, the awesome thing about this is that I can totally do a Series of Jane Austen Through Bertie Wooster's Eyes. *Grins* Set in his time period, of course--it's easier to move them than him.  And some would naturally be in New York--probably Persuasion, which can have long-separated Brits--and Northanger Abbey--which can have an American girl. ...And possibly Sense and Sensibility, which would also be the accidents of the British Upper Class in America... hmm. And Emma and Mansfield Park would, naturally, take place in England--there's too much Britishness in those not to do it. *Beamity*

So yes. I Am Pleased.  Comments on the possible endeavour would be greatly appreciated.

...Also, comments on how to avoid this continual absorption by osmosis of the speech patterns of Bertie, Jeeves, Discworld characters, or my other Brits would help. I said "I dare say" out loud yesterday. Bad.

I hate it when LJ isn't functioning right and won't post my long rambly things.  This time it's a fannish writing planning thing. That I need advice on.

So look for that later today.

Katie? Warning: It Will Be Heart-Attack Inducing.

In the mean time: Wodehouse, Adams, Pratchett: the Triad of Great British Comedic Writers.

Really.

Ho dee ho dee ho, sir.

Jeeves wins at life.

That is all.

Bertie wins in a losing sort of way.

But Jeeves wins more. Hee.
