I think there’s a hole in that too, Liza. There’s a lady who’s sure all that glitters is gold And she’s buying a stairway to heaven. When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for. Ooh, ooh, and she’s buying a stairway to heaven. There’s a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure ‘Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings. In a tree by the brook, tumblr_n6awepbs4g1qfdneyo5_400there’s a songbird who sings, Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven. yes spell check, misgiven is a word. because Robert Plant and Jimmy Page say so. who are you to question Robert Plant and Jimmy Page? Ooh, it makes me wonder, Ooh, it makes me wonder. There’s a feeling I get when I look to the west, And my spirit is crying for leaving. In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees, And the voices of those who stand looking. Ooh, it makes me wonder, Ooh, it really makes me wonder. And it’s whispered that soon, if we all call the tune, Then the piper will lead us to reason. And a new day will dawn for those who stand long,  like all those spring-breakers at Disney World right now. And the forests will echo with laughter. If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow, don’t be alarmed now, It’s just a spring clean for the May queen. is that a bustle in your hedgerow, or are you just happy to see me? Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There’s still time to change the road you’re on. And it makes me wonder.Your head is humming and it won’t go, in case you don’t know, tumblr_mqpx7s3FaP1qfdneyo8_250The piper’s calling you to join him, Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind? And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul. There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How everything still turns to gold. her name is Galadriel. And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last. but check the copyright first, just to be safe. When all are one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll. And she’s buying a stairway to heaven. Harry is sunshine on a cloudy day. In a cavern, In a canyon, Excavating for a mine, Dwelt a miner forty-niner, And his daughter Clementine.Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my darling Clementine, You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry Clementine. Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my darling Clementine, You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry Clementine. Light she was and like a fairy, And her shoes were number nine; Herring boxes, without topses, don’t even start with me spell check. Sandals were for Clementine. Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my darling Clementine, tumblr_mrqmzgfeC71qfdneyo6_400You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry Clementine. Harry and Kelly kissing in a tree. whoops, wrong song. Drove she ducklings to the water, Every morning just at nine; Hit her foot against a splinter, Fell into the foaming brine. Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my darling Clementine, You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry Clementine. Ruby lips above the water, Blowing bubbles, soft and fine; But Alas! I was no swimmer, So I lost my Clementine. Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my darling Clementine, You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry Clementine. When the miner forty-niner, Soon began to peak and pine, Thought he oughter join his daughter. Now he’s with his clementine. Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my darling Clementine, You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry Clementine. In a corner of the churchyard, Where the myrtle boughs entwine, Grow the roses in their poses, Fertilized by Clementine. Hannibal would like that verse. Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my darling Clementine, You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry Clementine.tumblr_mjub7pD2hm1qc5k7uo3_500 In my dreams she still doth haunt me, Robed in garments soaked in brine. Though in life I used to hug her, Now she’s dead, I’ll draw the line. boy am I glad my grandma left off these last few verses when she used to sing it to me. Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my darling Clementine, You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry Clementine. How I missed her, how I missed her How I missed my Clementine. So I kissed her little sister, And forgot my Clementine. manwhore. Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my darling Clementine. You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry Clementine. Oh my darling, Oh my darling, Oh my darling Clementine, You are lost and gone forever, Dreadful sorry Clementine. sorry not sorry. Words. huh. yeah. what are they good for? absolutely nothing. say it again. writer’s block is real.

Appreciation is Key

Music & More Challenge

6.) RA fandom fanfiction that you’ve read the most times

anything Sparkhouse

that’s not exactly an answer but it’s true! I’ve read the Sparkhouse stories the most, with Guy of Gisborne following close behind. Even though they are different stories in different settings, they both hold something in common for me: I like when John/Guy are finally appreciated for who they are.

but she likes my hair, and my sweater too!

Most of the Sparkhouse stories start off following a showdown with Andrew. Some of them save him from his demise, some taking Lisa out of the equation completely (I like Lisa, so I’m not always a fan of this approach) but all of them have Carol or another female love interest appreciating John’s loyal and understanding nature. I like No More Ghosts by womblingfree1 the best in this regard. It shows the gentle turning of Carol’s heart over time.

let me tell you about this thing I just discovered called fanfic…

In the Guy of Gisborne universe I like when Marian or another female love interest realizes that Guy not only has deep rooted reasons for behaving the way that he does but that he’s working towards something, not just being a cold-hearted bastard for the fun of it. My favorite in this regard is Grant What I Wish by kleindog. Marian goes through her own form of redemption before helping Guy with his and, again, it’s more of a subtle awakening and appreciation over time.

this pic is like a fanfic all on it’s own

 

and the Music question:

the song with the highest play count on your mp3 player

A Stranger Song by Bobby Long

does your heart beat so softly without warning?
does it beat out to the slow pace of the morning?

I love that line, so poetic.

You Don’t Know

Lucas and Maya

(You Don’t Know by Milow)

**this isn’t the best recording but I love the Ukelele 🙂

Sometimes everything seems awkward and large

imagine a Wednesday evening in March

Future and past, at the same time

I make use of the night, start drinking a lot

although not ideal, for now it’s all that I’ve got

It’s nice to know your name

You don’t know

you don’t know

You don’t know anything ’bout me

An ocean, a lake, I need a place to drown

let’s freeze the moment because we’re going down

Tomorrow you’ll be gone

You’re laughing too hard, this all seems surreal

I feel peculiar, now what do you feel?

Do you think there’s a chance that we can fall?

You don’t know, you don’t know

you don’t know anything ’bout me

What do I know? I know your name

You don’t know, you don’t know

you don’t know anything ’bout me

Anymore

I gave up dreaming for awhile

I gave up dreaming for awhile

I’ve noticed these are mysterious days

I look at it like a jigsaw-puzzle and gaze

With wide open mouth and burning eyes

series9

If only I could start to care

my dreams and my Wednesdays aren’t going nowhere

Baby, baby, baby you don’t know

You don’t know, you don’t know

you don’t know anything ’bout me

What do I know? I know your name

You don’t know

you don’t know

You don’t know anything ’bout me

You don’t know, you don’t know

you don’t know anything ’bout me

What do I know? I know your name

You don’t know, you don’t know

you don’t know anything ’bout me

Anymore.

Fun facts: the official video for this song takes place at a Circus and there is a concert version on an album called  From North to South; it all comes back to Richard 😉

When You Dream

When you dream,
what do you dream about?
Are they color or black and white,
Yiddish or English
or languages not yet conceived?
Are they silent or boisterous?
Do you hear noises just
loud enough to be perceived?

Richard doesn’t count sheep, he counts fangirls

I dream of film-making conventions…

I was working at a film-makers convention and MarieAstra was my boss. She even had a snazzy pin-stripped pants suit  to prove it.  The gods were smiling down on us that day, because we were responsible for escorting Richard.
Miss, you’re cutting off the circulation in my arm
The dream opened with us on our way to a specific location within the convention building. There were partitions set up and displays of equipment and whatnot all over the place. Richard kept getting distracted, stopping to look at things, like it was a museum.
we drool over Richard, he drools over film equipment
He would remark how genius something was and I would just smile and politely nod my head; I was walking next to Richard FREAKING Armitage and I was at a loss for words.
 

 

At one point we walked through a section that had homemade posters on the wall that high school kids had made depicting old movies. I wanted to say something about how refreshing it is to see that kids these days are still familiar with the classics, but that sounded stupid in my head: like we’re old and grey, talking about those young whippersnappers! Ugh.

 

in my day we changed the television channel by a dial, hence the term “turn the channel”
Marie was ahead of us but finally came back to see why we were such slow pokes. While Richard was admiring something, she whispered to me and asked how I was doing. I said fine, if “fine” meant not being able to speak and just laughing at everything that he said like a schoolgirl. we reached our destination, so I said good-bye to Richard for the time being, while he did whatever it was that he was supposed to be doing (sign autographs? I have no idea), until I came back later to escort him again.
don’t wander off like that again, Mr. Armitage, you had us worried!
I’m not sure what I was supposed to be doing
but I stopped by a Lord of the Rings booth to look around.
shh! don’t tell Marie
I knew it would be way too expensive but I wanted to look anyway. I got all disgusted that half of the merchandise wasn’t even official, just random wizards and dragons. Don’t advertise that you’re a Lord of the Rings seller when you’re not!

 

language, Mister!
So now it was time to go back and get Richard. He had free time after engagements so we were wandering around. Thankfully I had gotten my voice back and we were chatting away with no problem. Suddenly he spotted Orlando Bloom (who looked more like “Jay” from Jay and Silent Bob, than Orlando) at one of the booths and became quite animated.
***edited for content***
They had a secret game of tag going on, so he didn’t want Orlando to spot him. This is when Richard put his arm around me and pretended that we were a couple to keep Orlando from noticing him. OH! I liked this game!!

 

can we play “Doctor” next?
Orlando did spot us though and was trying to make his way towards us, so Richard ushered us further into the crowd. We accidentally knocked over a display of Saltine crackers (why were they selling crackers at a film convention?) because we had an unspoken agreement not to let go of one another, even though it wasn’t necessary anymore. We were both a bit giddy at this point and I started singing a song about tiptoeing through the crackers, totally off key.

 

Were we drunk?
Or just high on life?
 

 

We continued to wander around the convention, which seemed like a big maze, enjoying all it had to offer; while also keeping an eye out for Orlando, who would pop up every so often and spot us again. The day was winding down and we found ourselves in a little out of the way booth, looking at head-mounted cameras. I was trying the different ones on, in a serious manner, giving the pros and cons of each. When I looked up, Richard had the sweetest softest smile on his face. I gave him one in return and then we slowly…

 

WARNING: Husband, if you’re reading this
 

 

…moved towards each other
for a kiss.

He had one hand holding the back of my head
while the other was on my waist
almost exactly like this, except I had a camera mounted on my head
*Le sigh*

 

 THE END.

I’m Only Sleeping

Alphabet Movie challenge: day 26

ZZZ what program put you to sleep

Answer: um, none?

seriously, I thought long and hard about this one and I can’t come up with an answer! Richard Armitage is just too engaging! so here’s some pics of him asleep instead 🙂

tumblr_m9sfhrGG8M1r9tjx6o1_500

Please, don’t wake me, no, don’t shake me
Leave me where I am, I’m only sleeping

Please, don’t spoil my day, I’m miles away
And after all I’m only sleeping

2b272f5e-a09c-4888-9f31-fd77f37ef25b

Please, don’t wake me, no, don’t shake me
Leave me where I am, I’m only sleeping
