Alas, Poor Cam (But Not Really)

[misscam]

It's official. I'm bored during this house-sitting.

3 a.m. in Norway. Nothing on TV. My DVD player is at my flat. My books are at my flat. If I read more of mum's romance novels, I'm gonna start writing about heaving bossoms and Warrick clad in loin-cloth stomping about the moors angrily. I could write even more fanfic, but I've already writen more this week than I usually do in two months. I could read fanfic (and have), but I'd probably have to plow my way through piles of crap to find anything good. I could read GAFF and mock badfic but something's going on over there and it flashes me back to an American high school I never went to. I can't chat on IM, since this laptop of dad's has install function blocked. It doesn't have any funky games where I can hack 'n slash computer hordes. I could go to bed, but I don't want to, since I'm a stubborn old brat. I could stalk the Norwegian night and pretend to be Lady Camilla, Mistress of the Night, stumbling into a loin-cloth clad Warrick and my heaving bossom would press itself against his finely toned chest and...

Ahem. Right. I was being bored.

So dears, while Cam is this bored and will do anything not to be so, smack her with anything you've ever wanted to ask, a meme you've wanted her to do, a subject you've ever wanted her opinion on, a fanfic you've wanted her to read (and review. You may offer your own work), general silliness, pretty icons or whatever else occurs to you. This will last until Cam does go to bed.

Yes. She is that bored.

She'd even watch cricket.

Jess thinks Cam should write a bosom-heaving bodice ripping CSI fic. Because it would still be better than most of the crap on FF.net.

*nods*

Jess also wishes to smack Cam with a trout for infecting her with third-person-speak.

i agree with the above so long as it features lady heather 6-6 what is your opinion on BDSM?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

The way Cam's luck runs, that would probably be the fic that made her a CSI BNF and she'd smack down all who dared critize with her satin corset.

*smacks back* It is not Cam's fault. It is a virus from the mice, inflict third-person-speak and shrubberies.

You do know about AIM Express, no?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Whatever floats your boat, I say. I've read a bit about it and I can understand the concept of headspace and why someone might wish to submit and why someone might want to dominate. But the more hardcore versions of it doesn't turn me personally on, as far as I know.

But really, what people do in their bedroom/bathroom/lounge/wherever the smeg they prefer doesn't worry me as long as it's between consenting adults. Hop to, naughty people.

Lady Heather can watch.

Yes, but it doesn't like this computer. It won't work. Quick Buddy sometimes will.

I have no entertainment to offer myself (except that I'll be posting pictures from my vacation in a while--joy :P)... but does AIM Express work on your Dad's computer? It's designed to let you chat on AIM from a website thingy when you can't download the software. MSN and Yahoo! might have similar things at their websites. (Or have I asked you that before?)

[sinneahtes.livejournal.com]

Scratch that, beaten above.

XD That's amazing. I'm writing a romance vignette. I didn't even think about the heaving bossoms thing, darn; now I'll have to go incorporate it somehow! =p

The fanfic issue is pretty sad, I have to agree. I have combed the entire B5, Firefly, MASH, and Austen sections and have found fewer goodfics than I have letters to my name.

Bloody exasperating.

Hmn... you could try drawing something. Or, if inspiration fails to come, you could try cooking. Exercise? OOH! I know what you could do! You could explain why Bush is raging a war against Iraq if it's supposedly Osama bin Laden and his gang that started all this 911 crap. ^^;; Heh. I'm very dumb in the matter of politics, mostly because I don't like it too much and it depresses me, but I should know more about it, and when I tried researching, I couldn't find anything that included a comprehensive explanation of people's actions. <-Whew that was one heck of a run-on. Anyhoo, I'd love it if you Educated me on the subject of politics, but especially the "war against Iraq" as everyone calls it here. -_____-

I was trying to find some good MASH fics just yesterday. Meager pickings. Meager, meager, meager. I only found one vaguely good and it made your/you're mistakes.

Romance vignette, eh? Who with?

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Not sure if they do, can't hurt to look, I suppose.

[unendingreverie.livejournal.com]

Faramir and Eowyn sucking face... because everyone likes that.

[agentmaly.livejournal.com]

Well, bah then. I'll have to think of something I want to know your opinion on.. hmm.

I could go looking for the MST I posted in my LJ a few months ago and let you read that.. or I could ask you to tell me what you think about.. ducks. What do you think of ducks?

[immoralilly.livejournal.com]

write a fanfic about...
the colour pink, a cat, a horn, things that go bump in the night and Grissom's beard.
Or don't, becuase I cannot see how those things would go together. They are merely things that I can see in my room. Except Grissom's beard, which would be a welcome addition.

Well, MSN supposedly allows one to use MSN Messenger from the Hotmail page, but I've never found a way to actually do it...

I could read GAFF and mock badfic but something's going on over there and it flashes me back to an American high school I never went to.
Heh. And I'm loving every minute of it. I was never such a bitch in high school- Just the quiet studious one in an advanced program, who didn't have time to get into intrigues.

So, a bit of true high schoolery on the Internet is quite fun. And hey- In the long run, it's just the Internet, after all. ^_~

My drawing skills start and end at stickmen and stick aliens.

Yowza. The war on Iraq...

First off, you gotta remember the country is divide in three large population blocks. Sunni muslims, Shia muslims (the majority) and Kurds. Saddam was a Sunni. Iran is mainly Shia and run by a Shia priesthood.

Well, it starts in August 1990, really, when Iraq invades Kuwait. The world at large reacts, possibly helped by the fact that Kuwait is a rich, Western-friendly oil nation. US and a large coalition attack Iraq, Bush the elder is at this time president. Iraqi forces leave Kuwait. A ceasefire is agreed on. A lot of Shia rise up against Saddam, since he is a tyrant supressing them in particular, but Iraqi military crushes this uprising. The Americans, for various reasons, do not intervene. Saddam starts being assy to Kurds in the north. The US does intervene.

Sanctions are put on Iraq, as are inspections to make sure no Weapons of Mass Destruction are hidden. The sanctions do great damage to Iraqi infrastructure. No one is quite sure what to do.

Come 9/11. THe US is attacked. Some parts of the US administration who was there under the last Gulf war and see Iraq as unfinished business, considers this a chance to finish it. But since the US<was clearly atack by Bin Laden's organisation, Afghanistan is taken on first. After this, the administration starts talking about "grave and gathering danger" in Iraq, saying they have WMD stockpiles, work with Al-Quida and that Iraq is a threat to the stability of the region. A lot of the world is not convinced. The US and a coalition they gather, attack without UN approval. Iraq offers little resistance. And since then, WMDs have turned out to be nada and there is no proof of an Iraq - Al-Quida link. So why is the US in Iraq? Unfinished business, as mentioned. Certain elements within the US administration also believes if Iraq is made democratic, it will have a domini effect on the rest of the Middle East. And then there's the reason some of the not-so-US-fond-of put forth. To quote my professor at the Uni of Queensland as the war was coming: "Why does the Bush Administration freely invade sovereign countries that it claims "might" be a danger -- some day, if not today? Why does it violate international treaties at will? "Because it can."

Hey, it worked for Cassie Claire... *ducks and runs very very fast*

So Cam is saying that instead of smacking each other with trout that Jess and Cam should be smacking the mice? What an intriguing parlor game... Smack a mouse with a trout, win some pocky!

Jess has no idea where that came from and apologizes.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Ah yes. I used to have an icon-set with those drawings. They are veddy, veddy pretty. But Faramir doesn't do as much for me in that form.

I'd rather see the filmed scene of Eowyn&Faramir's wedding kiss.

I like to watch them eat bread crumbs I've throw off the bridge in Sandvika.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

AIIII! PIIIIIIINK!

*runs traumatized away*

Hmm, Grissom's beard...

He wasn't quite sure who had guided who to the bed, but suddenly he felt the soft mattress greet his back and Sara fell over him. She smiled as her hair fell around his face and she kissed the sides of his face, curling her fingers into his beard. She seemed so happy he just let her and watched, the vision of her almost more erotic than any touch.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I know, but if I'm gonna be a bitch, I prefer to know what's going on. And I'm sooooo lost, not being a CC-goer, after all. Nor have I ever been particulary friendly with Heywood or played in your RPGs.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

So you're telling me I should dub myself Cammie Claire and start writing slash with Warrick in leather pants and Grissom as The Entomologist Who Lived?

Cam is sure her cat will clean up the mess by eating both the mouse and the trout. She approves of this.

Hotmail sucks my non-existent balls. *smacks it*
