Tales of a Nobody

Title: One Dark And Stormy Evening
Pairing: Al/Scorpius
Rating: NC-17 for language, graphic sex
Word Count: about 2,050
Summary: Al and Scorpius drink Polyjuice to look like their dads; hilarity and fucking ensue.
Warnings: They're both 17 and acting their age.  Does teenage stupidity need a warning? 
Disclosure Statement: two large bags of Chili Cheese Fritos and a nice bottle of Riesling were killed in the making of this fic. 
Notes and thanks: Happy belated birthday, Jana!  I tried to combine your present with this month's drunken fanfic challenge -- hence the title, stolen from the prompt -- but didn't get off my arse in time to post it there, so it morphed into something even stranger.  Hope you enjoy it.  :D

ETA: Jana got the bunny for this fic from bryoneybrynn 's hilarious work of staggering genius, Another...and Another...and, Fuck It, Just Leave Me the Bottle.  It's 1,200 words of sheer brilliance.

DrakNet is giving away a $100 Gift Certificate on Twitter! Why?
Well, because its fun, and we’re experimenting with the contest software to see how it runs. The first thing we found out is what we initially said about tweeting the #hashtag, which is supposed to work, didn’t actually work the way it should so we [...]

I don't mind being wrong; what I dislike is being stupidly wrong.

Noted at woodwardiocom:

"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord Of The Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs." —Rogers

So, the way Facebook is making changes, you'd think that they were owned by Six Apart. Not feeling any love there at the moment. The main thing I do there is play games, and the few games I play have put in a lot of changes that have really screwed the code to the point where they are unplayable as is. I'm giving a lot of thought to just deleting the account, or else paring the 900+ names on there down to those I actually know in some fashion.

Twitter isn't as much of an annoyance as I feared it might be, though I'm limiting what I do there as well.I'm not following a lot of folks, including some that I do know, as I read their posts elsewhere.

As for the various blogs -- sigh -- I'm not reading fanfic like I used to, and I haven't written any in a couple of years, so my Nightstalker journal is feeling unloved. Much the same for the rest of them. I just don't have that much to say that I think anyone else would really be interested in hearing about, so I'm not posting much anywhere.

TradWitch.com, the one forum I check regularly, isn't seeing much in the way of new posts, either, and I guess I'm too much of a snob to deal with most of the other sites out there. I look at the posts that show up in dot_pagan_snark, and just want to bang my head against a wall for some of the stupid things that people post.

I backed out of several Yahoo lists, and considered just shutting down the one that I own, but there was enough response to that announcement that it will probably stay open- it's not like there's really anything to it...

I haven't been on Neopets in months...

I haven't updated my genealogy site in months, and am trying to decide if I'm even going to keep it online at this point.

I'm just bored, I guess.

Else it's late Fall and I'm sliding into the seasonal depression....hadn't thought about that until just now.
