high_flyer87 Pairing: Adrian Pasdar/Milo Ventimiglia
Rating: PG
Genre: Fluff, BFF!fic
Warning: Language
Disclaimer: I own nothing, and this never happened.
Summary: Milo finds he's homesick, and Adrian is the only cure.
A/N: Um. I'm sort of really nervous about posting this. I've never written this pairing before. I'm not familiar with them at all. Not enough to feel comfortable writing them anyway. So, forgive me if my characterizations are way off. This was written up fairly quickly, and it's un-beta'd (although I did get some encouragement from
pikasafire -- thanks McGee!), so all mistakes are my own. Other than that, let me know what you think :)
( He started to knock again, but stopped abruptly when he heard movement on the other side of the door. It cracked open slowly, illuminating a portion of a man's face. Milo smiled. )

The day after Thanksgiving = the official start of Christmas! WOOT!
I never leave the house on this day. Black Friday means nothing to me. I hate shopping. I don't see the point in getting out amongst the crazies just to get some bargains *shrugs*. I've never done it, and I never will. People and shopping are my two least favorite things in the world. I would probably shoot someone XD
SO, what do I do? I decorate for Christmas and watch Christmas movies :D
And for your enjoyment, I have the incomparable Foster Brooks being awesome and fake!drunk, singing his own version of The Twelve Days of Christmas. For real, you guys have to watch this. I was waiting until today to share it with you all. It's got to be one of the funniest things I've ever heard in my entire life.
- Mood:
relaxed
Entertain me? Please?
I suppose I could get that Adrian/Milo fic finished up that I've been working on. It's making me a little antsy. I'm stressing over it more than I should. A lot more than I should.
I watched this week's episode of Heroes last night. Gotta say. I would like that show a lot better if it were just Nathan, Peter, and Sylar. For obvious reasons.....
Um. Yeah. I think that's about it......God I'm bored......Sorry for such a pointless entry.

I mean, I wasn't that fond of her to begin with, but I don't know...after reading that, I sort of really don't like her now *shrugs*
I think it's an overcompensation on my part because everyone and their mother seems to be pro-Zoe, and I just don't see it. She seems like a strong female, and I love that, but at the same time she seems very full of herself. And that's not cool.
Jealousy? Envy? Maybe. I'd kill to have her body (though she could stand to gain a few pounds), and hang out with the boys she hangs out with, but she doesn't strike me as quite the classy lady everyone makes her out to be.
Maybe if I spent some time with her I'd like her, and I'd see something completely different. She's probably really fun in person, I don't know. But my first impression is of that stuck-up bitch in high school who smiled to your face but then spit on you behind your back.
Again. This could all stem from the fact that eeeeveryone seems to love her, so I'm just forcing myself to the other extreme end of the spectrum.
I don't know. Just had to get that out there.

Tonight's update is random, and I like it that way. So DEAL WITH IT!
I've realized that there is an inverse correlation between my mood and the quality of the weather outside.
Bright, sunny, cheery days like today? I couldn't be more mad at the world. I could have stayed in bed all day long, hiding under the covers.
Dark, grey, dreary days, like yesterday was? I'm happy and relaxed and excited to get out and do stuff.
What does that meeeeaaaaan?!
Also, I think it has a lot to do with how other people react to the weather as well. When it's sunny out, people are happy. I don't like that. I like dreary days when people are grumpy. Why is that?!
Hmm.
Then again, no matter what the weather is like, I'm infinitely more happy when the sun goes down. Maybe my sister's on to something when she calls me a vampire.
I do tend to get ill in the sunlight.....and then there's the hissing thing.........
Aaaaanyhoo......Sarah and I went out for sushi last night with Stephanie, and Leah. I haven't seen them since...Christmas? They're family, they live in the same town, we're best friends....yet we haven't seen each other for a year?! How does that happen!
We'll get to see them on Saturday as well, for Thanskgiving. That should be interesting. Thank God they'll be there. If I was stuck with that family for more than an hour without those girls, I'd go crazy.
Oh! I also went out and bought the Special Edition Star Trek dvd last night. Yes, I bought the dvd twice (looks like someone's getting a slightly used copy of Star Trek for Christmas. ha ha). You know, I would have bet money on the only difference between the regular and special edition dvd's is that the special edition had the digital copy. WRONG! Fuck you Amazon, and your vague product details!
But now I have all the goodies. And I of course stayed up late last night watching them :) It did me good.
I made Sarah sit down and watch the behind-the-scenes cast stuff with me (not that I had to twist her arm too much. She loves those guys as much as I do. Especially Karl and ZQ. She likes ZQ way more than she lets on actually). She got a big kick out of Bruce's blank stare at the camera.
After I got caught up on Star Trek stuff, I watched Oprah. Not a normal viewing choice for me, but she had the cast of Nine on. What does that mean?.......DANIEL DAY-LEWIS!
I'm pretty sure if you looked up the word "perfect" in the dictionary, you'd find a picture of DDL. Not even kidding. I just....he....I mean.....*blink*.......
The man makes me want to be a better human being. That's all there is to it.
Evidence, you ask?
Now, on tooooo.........Community! Watch it if you haven't already. I can't praise it enough. Seriously. ABED I LOVE YOU! He sang the freaking Fivel song! FIVEL! Plus, they're totally cashing in on the bromance thing (Abed/Troy FTW), which, you know, can only make something better.
And I think I'm officially hooked on Supernatural. Even my mom likes it. She thinks Jensen is, like, totally cute. Dude, I'm not complaining. It's a step up from RPattz...which yeah...she totally had a crush on *shudders*. Mom. Just...no.....
Jensen I can get on board with. Jensen I like. Even though his voice still cracks me up.
And I guess
Seriously, I'm loving this show! I've only seen three episodes so far, so I'm still a little confused at some of the stuff that's happening (like the man-kissing at the beginning of tonight's ep? what was that about?), but I really really like it!
Now, it's time for me to catch up on the Adrian/Milo/Zach that I missed on this week's Heroes. I hear there was a delightful abundance of those three, so....yeah......
Oh! That reminds me. I told my mom I wanted a pocket-size Masi Oka for Christmas. Should I be worried that her response was, "Does he have to be alive?" o_O That either means she had the instant idea to actually "make" me a pocket-size Masi (I wouldn't put it past her. She was an art teacher after all), or she's slightly more demented than I thought......

A night of Karl Urban, ZQ, CFine, John Motherfucking Cho, and Mr. Bruce "I'm sexier than you" Greenwood. Oh yeah.
Anyone else with me?
EDIT:
Right, so, I'm apparently going to have to make a trip to Wal-Mart or Best Buy soon so I can pick up the special edition dvd. For some reason I thought the only difference between the two was that the "special edition" just had the extra digital copy of the movie. I didn't know I was missing out on behind-the-scenes CAST stuff O_O That's unacceptable.
More money to spend, but hey, it's for a good cause.
Also, I realized my favorite part of the movie is Eric Bana. Strangely enough. Before Star Trek I was a decided non-fan of that man. Looks like things have changed.
- Mood:
excited
I realized, after writing this, that my fixation with Zachary Quinto's hair is much stronger than I had originally thought.
Also, I need to smell him.
Not as bad as my need to smell Karl Urban. But it's up there.
Also, the face buried in the neck thing. Why can't I get that image out of my mind! Maybe I have a neck kink I didn't know about. Wait....scratch that....I knew about it. I just didn't acknowledge it until this VERY SECOND!
Wrists. Those too.
Woah. Revelatory shit happening right now, people O_O Kinks are being discovered and embraced!
Huzzah!
That is all.
Discuss if you must.....

Well, today I took the exit exam (CAAP test, almost exactly like the ACT...in fact it might be the exact same test). Now all I have to do is wait for my diploma to arrive in the mail, and then I'll officially have my Associate of Arts degree! So now when I go back to school....for whatever it is that I finally decide to go back for....I'll have gotten all my basics out of the way, and can focus on my preferred area of study. Thank GOD! You all don't understand how happy I am to be completely done with math. Math was a son of a bitch. I took 4 different math classes, twice each. If there was a way to be the best at failing, I'd win that award harcore in the math department.
I'm glad to be done with math, but I've realized recently that I do miss writing essays. Who would have thought, huh? I miss English, and philosophy, and any class that requires copious research and sleepless nights of bullshit conjuring. Ah, the essay. A sneaky little habit that's surprisingly hard to break.
I was going to take a year off from school, because I honestly haven't decided what it is that I want to study, but I've been considering registering at MSU for just a class or two in the spring. I love not having homework to worry about, but at the same time, I still don't know what to do with myself. I've gone from flaily to just sort of...numb. Like, my brain is getting too settled. I don't like it.
At first I thought, this is great! Now I'll have time to write all the fic I want, and actually spend time getting creative with something, but lately when I sit down to write, my thoughts are so fucking loud I can't concentrate on anything.
Anybody know the cure for uncontrollable brain babble? Because I could really use some help.
I found out today that November is Native American Appreciation Month. So, HOLLA! ALL MY NATIVE AMERICAN BROTHERS AND SISTERS OUT THERE! *wootwoot*
Also....can someone tell me wft this is? o_O

Today's random thought: My brain kept reading the "Please sign and return" labels at work as "Peter Petrelli." I spent about and hour sticking them on envelopes and I couldn't understand why I would be needing Peter Petrelli labels for tax return envelopes. Brain, I ask you...what the hell? You're not even into Heroes. Why would you be slipping off into obscure references like that? Why!
Also, my love for Community is growing at an alarming rate. ABED I LOVE YOU!
Just thought I'd put that out there.
In fact, this turned out to be one of the scariest movies I've ever seen (I'm honestly dreading the thought of trying to sleep tonight). I was fighting back tears the entire time. I just....God, I couldn't even imagine some of the shit they were showing! They played a lot of real footage, which I would safetly assume is the reason it was so scary.
( Evidence, you ask? )
*spoilers under the cut*
Now that I've gotten that review out of the way, I'd like to bring up something that made me a little flaily (in a good way). Before the movie they showed the trailer for The Book of Eli. How did I totally forget Gary Oldman was in this?!
Can I just say, this looks like it could be his big comeback. For a while now I've been under the impression that, while Gary will always be awesome, he's sort of become the "forgotten man." Not that he's ever really gotten the recognition he deserves, but I think many people out there will agree that he's always been (and always will be) a legend. But he's gone way under the radar lately, taking only minor roles in B-rated movies. BUT, The Bookof Eli looks like it's going to turn everything around. This looks like the Gary Oldman we all know and
I've actually started calling Ben Foster "this generation's Gary Oldman", but I might have to reconsider that statement. I can't be certain, but if Gary keeps taking big, epic roles like this one (though, I'll be the first to admit that's a stretch, considering I haven't actually seen the film), he could take the title of "this generation's Gary Oldman"...which, um, should be rightfully his anyway...
Just had to bring that up.

So then I figured, hey that's okay, I'll just make some rockin' artwork to go along with youtube clips or something, so that way it's not a completely pointless endeavor...
That didn't work either, because my laptop finally decided to die. She'd been terminally ill for a while, and tonight...she died. Tis a sad sad day.
But this soundtrack will prevail!
I come with no download, and no artwork, but I do have a tracklist and links to share.
This soundtrack is for
ewinfic's story Twenty Minutes (for which I also made some character artwork). It's been a loooong time coming, but hey, it's never too late for a soundtrack. Am I right? Yes. I am.
Ewin, I hope you enjoy.
(Sorry about the length. LJ wouldn't let me put it under a cut)
I said, which way do I turn?
I forget everything I learn,
But the spies came out of the water,
And you're feeling so bad cos you know,
But the spies hide out in every corner,
But you can't touch them though,
Cos they're all spies, they're all spies.
"Bedshaped" – Keane
I know you think I'm holding you down
And I've fallen by the wayside now
And I don't understand the same things as you
But I do
Don't laugh at me
Don't look away
You'll follow me back
With the sun in your eyes
And on your own
Bedshaped
And legs of stone
"I Am a Rock" - Simon and Garfunkel
I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
Lost til you're found
Swim til you drown
Know that we all fall down
Love til you hate
Jump til you break
Know that we all fall down
She's a killer. A real cold killer.
She'll drive you out to the back just to kiss and attack your will!
She's a monster. A real soft winner.
Her heart is pumping her blood. It ain't feeling, or loving, or good.
She's a vulture in a land of fire.
She picks and she chews, and she's hungry for news to spread.
She's a killer! A real cold killer!
She'll drive you out to the back -- Then she'll kill and attack your will!
She's a monster! A real soft winner!
Her heart is pumping her blood. It ain't feeling, or loving, or good.
“The One You Love” – Rufus Wainwright
(This is the theme song for the whole story. If you only listen to one of these songs, make it this one.)
The mind has so many pictures
Why can't I sleep with my eyes open
The mind has so many memories
Can you remember what it looks like when I cry
I'm Trying, trying to tell you
All that I can in a sweet and velvet tongue
But no words ever could sell you
Sell you on me after all that I have done
I'm only the one you love
Am I only the one you love?
The Lady Gloom and her hornets circling round
Is now before us, the screaming's done without moving
One little move and for sure you will be stung

The first half of this post is long overdue. I've been meaning to make an official WTF!post about FlashForward since the second episode.
( Err...spoilers? )The next matter of business...
I watched my first episode of Supernatural tonight! I'm way behind, I know, and I honestly never planned on watching it, but so many of you on my flist are obsessed with it, and it was starting to affect me a little ;)
First impressions, WAY BETTER THAN I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING T
Being a CW show, I wasn't expecting much. So, maybe that's why I was pleasantly suprised with it. But I thought it was hilarious, and well-written. And the serious bits were nice! I could take the dramatic parts just as serious as I could the funny stuff.
Side note...I'll admit I laughed when Jensen Ackles started talking. I did not expect that voice to come out of that man. I got used to it by the end though XD
I DVR'd NCIS as well. So, I'll be watching that tomorrow. I wanted to watch it tonight, but I'd already sat through too much tv as it was. What was the line-up tonight?: Community (one of my new fav's), Parks and Rec (meh), The Office (I've given up on it), 30 Rock (*flails*), then the aforementioned dvr'd gems.
OH! OH! On a side, side note...Who happened to be on Jimmy Fallon tonight? IAN MCKELLEN!!! That sexy son of a bitch I guess, sort of, kind of, confirmed he's going to be in The Hobbit! WOO-FUCKING-HOO BB's!!!
- Mood:
awake, when I should be asleep
Eddie McClintock was on Ghost Hunters tonight! Can I get a WOOT WOOT!
Warehouse 13 is my new fav, and Eddie/Pete is too adorable for words. I want to snuggle him. Can I snuggle him?
Then there was Josh Gates. ILU HARDCORE BB!
I want to party with Josh so bad. I want to snuggle Eddie and party with Josh. If I can do those two things my life will be complete. Wait! No. It won't be complete until I can smell Karl Urban.
Things to do before I die:
1. Snuggle Eddie McClintock
2. Party with Josh Gates
3. Smell Karl Urban
That list might still be a work-in-progress. I'll get back to you on it.
Other news!
Do the previews for The Fourth Kind freak anyone else out as much as they do me? Because yeah. I keep randomly thinking about it (usually when I'm down in my basement doing laundry, by myself) and it creeps me the fuck OUT! Sarah, Binx, and I are going to see it after church on Sunday and I'm just hoping it's as scary as it looks.
Aliens have never scared me before. Signs was creepy in a jumpy sort of way. War of the Worlds was scary in a "God please don't let that happen" sort of way (and the creepy factor with that one might have been heightened due to the fact I saw it at the drive-in). The Fourth Kind looks terrifying in a OH HEEEELL NO! sort of way. So, we'll see if it changes my mind about aliens *shrugs*.

A friend and I took a little trip to Borders tonight, and when she stopped by the magazine section (to look at pictures of Taylor Lautner *grumbles*), I followed, and found myself perusing the "art" section.
One magazine in particular caught my eye, and I almost bought it. I wish now that I had. It's a neat little magazine, and it featured some insane artists that I need in my life, always, for ever and ever.
The magazine was called Hi-Fructose.
( Here are some of the artists that caught my eye )
I don't have anything particularly insightful to say about them, I just thought they were sort of amazing and wanted to share :)

So, like 6 months ago, after I saw Star Trek and fell into the Pinto Trap, I had a vision...
A vision of a curious Chris Pine tempted by Zachary Quinto eating Skittles.
Because let's face it, what would be the first thing to pop into your mind while eating those magical sugary little candies? That's right! "I wonder what it would be like to kiss Zach Quinto after he ate a whole bag of them!" And that's exactly what inspired my little prompt.
I had no idea if ZQ liked Skittles. I didn't care. BUT, what do I find out today? ZQ ACTUALLY DOES LIKE SKITTLES! OMFG! O_O
This just means my twisty little imagination may hold more stock in reality than I originally thought! WOOT!
So, in honor of this newfound information, I come bearing fics :D
I filled my own Skittles prompt.
Andewinfic blessed me with her own version. The best present I've ever gotten! And that's not even an exaggeration!
Ewin, I believe our fics may come in handy as significant sources of evidentiary support. We should prepare ourselves now.

sick....aw crap
It's late, I should be in bed, but hey...I'm not. Suprise suprise, eh?
Today was sort of epic. Epically lazy, but epic none the less.
I watched Star Wars: Episode IV (in my house we pretend like Episodes 1-3 do not exist and were never once even a fleeting thought in Mr. Lucas' brain). It was nice. I haven't watched Star Wars in far too long. For some reason I get the strangest urge to have a rootbeer float whilst watching it. I think when I was a kid I would watch those movies a lot during the summer, and of course summer's official drink/dessert is a rootbeer float. AMITRITE?! Yes! So, I say that's where the urge comes from.
Luke's feathered hair reminded me why I swore I was going to marry him. Then his whining about power converters threw me off...
I also watched Capote. I'd forgotten how much I freaking LOVE that movie! I've watched it twice this week, and sort of feel like watching it one more time!
PLUS! We get a nice little Trek reunion with it as well. Bruce Greenwood and Clifton Collins Jr. Who, coincidentally, both have unbelievably sexy voices to go with their unbelievably sexy selves...which I will provide evidence of riiiight NOW. Aaaand...NOW!
Is anyone else with me on the level of sexy of those two? Please tell me there are others. I've been trying to work my magic Bruce powers on you all, but you're being very quiet about the results. Don't make me get forceful with you. Unless, you know, that's your thing...then we'll discuss.
Speaking of Bruce. I've created a drink for him.
The Greenwood: lemon juice, cherry juice (the real stuff, not grenadine, or maraschino crap), lots of light rum, and a splash of water.
It's official, people, and HighFlyer approved for your enjoyment :D Let me know how you like it. I'm drinking it right now, and let me tell you, Bruce tastes gooooood.
Um. What else was there.
Oh! Halloween was good. Lazy, and maybe slightly dull (I may or may not have taken a nap), but good. My mom, Sarah, and I spent all day watching Ghost Hunters. Then we watched the live Halloween special, hosted by the awesome and sexy Josh Gates (his sexy is unparalleled people, he's fucking hilarious, and smart to boot! What more could a girl ask for?!).
This live Halloween special, while not an investigation, was quite good. After last year's catastrophe I should hope they learned their lesson!
I was glad that Jason and Grant got to spend this Halloween home with their kids. Like, I can't even begin to explain how happy I was to hear that they got to stay home.
I ate waaaaay too much candy. Then ate way too much again today. But hey, all in the name of Halloween, right? So I'm excused!
Aaaand Bruce is getting a little strong. I'm pulling to the left a little...or maybe a lot....I can't be sure....I need sleep. Or to maybe, you know, not drink so much.....
