I am plot-blocked on two fics whereas cheerful fluff is cheerful and coming along swell. This is problematic since classes start next week. Speaking of which I already have homework for next week, but it's for my Early Modern Drama class which I am super looking forward to because I couldn't be nerdier if I tried. So.

Leave a 'ship in comments and I’ll tell you the following!

Who is the big spoon/little spoon:
What is their favorite non-sexual activity:
Who uses all the hot water in the morning:
What they order from take out:
What is the most trivial thing they fight over:
Who does most of the cleaning:
What has a season pass in their DVR:
Who controls the netflix queue:
Who calls up the super/landlord when the heat’s not working:
Who steals the blankets:
Who leaves their stuff around:
Who remembers their anniversary:

Is anyone else having a ridiculous Monday? Complete with appropriately inappropriate text messages? Right, let's fix this.


The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.

Copied from thistlerose:

If I made Cinderella, the audience would immediately be looking for a body in the coach.
— Alfred Hitchcock
