I popped open Rhythmbox on shuffle. Incidentally, if you want a copy of these songs, just let me know :). I also might go and put in some lyrics, at a later stage.

enigel, I'd prefer to give it to somebody that isn't participating in Yuletide this year, and is willing to upload their fics and/or use the Archive a lot! So, if you think you fulfill such criteria, offer yourself up below!- Location:Home, of course.

Anyway, this just proves that wrestling is a real fandom (I'm always on the look out for evidence). We get angry too, which seems to be synonymous with fannishness.

I guess I'd best be going to my GP and telling him to put diabetes (controlled by diet) on my medical records, so I don't have to pay ~$100 to get them fixed up.
In other news, the OTW officially raised US $15,573 from their last drive. Although sometimes I feel a bit alienated from the rest of fandom, I'm incredibly proud of the sheer amount of monies we raised! WHEE! We are also looking for fresh
Well, maybe not so alienated, since
guenhwyvarsmind added her Neon Midnight archive to the AO3!Support was put on hold for my mini-break, but I did notice with a great amount of pride that the team jumped into some juicy reports, and has got the swing of things now! Now, to do the minutes for our next meeting :).

Obviously, this is the part where you take me away from the computer. Oh, and go consider the Sex Positive Fic-athon! This little fan isn't into the whole rape/torture thing in fandom, although I've seen it done well and often.

- A quick post!
- The OTW is in the middle of its biggest fund-raising drive in its history! As you can remember, we own the god-damn servers, but servers cost money and require maintenance to keep them running happily.
- Relatedly, we also have a volunteer drive going on! If you've got the time, and feel like you can contribute, please do! I'm so sick of being the only wrestling fan involved. Tres embarrassing. It boggles people like zooey_glass that I have no SF as a fandom!</user>
- I'm also eagerly awaiting to go to Melbourne on the 30th, which shall be my compensation for the worst Bairnsdale trip ever earlier in August. I shall be staying with a mate, and I plan to introduce him to fandom in movie form (I've more luck with Bond than wrestling, imho).

One of my favourite postings of hers is the coverage of the Issey Miyake collection by Dai Fujiwara, which I think shows off her wit and aptness as a fashion blogger.
Fuck, I miss being 13 and having endless energy for blogging. My StumbleUpon cries out for inspired postings.

This will not be the last of Cena-Orton. In order to make their next meeting even bigger they will wrestle each other on a tightrope tied between two skyscrapers with a pool of electric eels, sharks, and alligators below. Orton will get to use nun chucks and Cena a battle axe.
They keep making each new Orton-Cena match more "dangerous" and add stipulations hoping we'll still be interested and buy the PPV. But the bottom line is the same. It's still Cena vs. Orton.
Ah, well. My entire Raw night was saved because my man won his first title. Hilariously, I did orgasm toes when he got the pin :D.
In addition:

- Yippee! I am on (barring no objections) my way to making my little feet fill chair shoes in the Support subcommittee of AD&T! SO EXCITED! If anybody has experience with the AO3 or wants to gain some in the hope of working on Supporting (teehee) other users, you're totally welcome to let us know.
- Also, in wrestling fancan (fanon/canon mesh): Raven/Stevie twitterings. *giggle*
- For yet more fandom: I'm going to Fanlore a few new gems from Geocities: In Defence of Wrestling Slash, mako's tank, naobliss’s rec page, and a few others (links forthcoming because they are on my laptop).
- I keep spending money on PWG DVDs (eep, sorry RoH—I racked up a big shopping list and stopped myself), when I should be tracking down the Motherpeace Tarot. I really need to do another tarot reading for somebody, though; weirdly, all this anxious energy (a bad word for a CFS sufferer, I know) seems to want to be channelled. Test subjects, anybody?

A week is a relative term! Actually,
tree put it best: I was stymied for what to share. I return with a Firefox extension of infinite usefulness. I’ve also got a post planned out mentally that’ll amuse some of you :). Well, it should interest most of you; as it's a good example of why wrestling slash a legitimate fannish enterprise.Scrapbook lets you actively capture entire websites and from there, links/images/documents on the page. It lets you write notes and highlight elements on the pages you capture as well, as well as have ‘galleries’ of scrappings. It’s the fan’s ultimate tool, really; almost made for capturing fic and organising it. I may have been capturing Geocities sites with it for my own archival—it's a distinct possibility.

- Video: The Mario Movie: Game Over—where's the fandom for it? Luigi's (pseudo-mobster) rage just cinched it for me :). Warnings for language and drug-related themes.
- On a related note, because I uploaded it for starlady, you all can have it: Science Genius Girl by Freezepop is a well worth a listen to; it features Gameboy sound clips as an instrument! \o/

Fic and Web-Site Sharing:
The fic I've been desperate to rec is unfortunately locked to members of
![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif){kind=small}
topgearslash, so to rec it would be completely unfair to non-members of the Circle and f-list—my second choice is no less worthy however! It's an old love, rather in the vein of deliciously vintage cheese.Tarot by Guede Mazaka is the pinnacle of longer fics; and it just happens to be in the James Bond: Goldeneye fandom: a movie I've loved since I was little. We have Alec and James: “James doesn't let go of Alec's foot. The result is possibly worse than dying.”, a whirlwind of connections, conclusions and corrections, and a plot that does not quit. The Tarot symbolism works brilliantly to convey paths wished for, taken, and a harsh masculinity that is the result of broken spies. The author rates it as NC-17, and gives warnings for violence, rough sex and non-con issues (although the latter is most definitely in the eye of the beholder, so please don't let that put you off).
Site-wise, I have a few Geocities gems that deserve to be honoured (don't worry! I've let most of them know about the AO3 and Open Doors):
- Dedicated to the Rockers— WWF/WWE fandom, Shawn Michaels/Marty Jannety, looked after by guenhwyvar.
- Shadows of the Moon— WWF/WWE fandom, multi-pairing, looked after by penumbren.
- Not Every Thug Needs a Lady— WWF/WWE fandom, Michael Cole/Tazz (yes, you read that right), archivist AWOL, any information would be lovely :).
- Joey/Chandler Archive, Friends fandom, Joey/Chandler specific, archive AWOL, any information would be lovely :).

Song choices (one female-vocals and one male-vocals):
- Dance on Vaseline (The Thievery Corporation Remix) by Thievery Corporation (cover of David Byrne's original)—I wholeheartedly recommend the Mulder/Krycek fic Taking Back by Viridian5 which was inspired by the song. The wisdom of taking back the gentleness; of owning the love, is a profound one, and slight trance-like elements in the remix epitomise the difference between longing for love and accepting it when given freely. To be blunt, I dig wisdom in any form.
- Swallow by Emilie Autumn—one lyric of recommendation, this time: “I will swallow; If it will help my sea level go down; But I'll come back to haunt you if I drown”.

noword4it for making me like the stereotypical bear/little guy couple (he made me like Deadliest Catch and as we all know, fishermen like facial hair!). I appear to be slashing Mick Foley and Jeremy Borash after watching their Tweak n' Tweet webcast. It's adorkable! Mick has this fond look in his eye the entire time!

shewhohashope:As you may recall, it is Ramadan, and therefore a good time to start thinking about charity. But don't take my word for it.
The Prophet (saws) has said: "Oh people! A great month has come over you; a blessed month; a month in which there is a night better than a thousand months; month in which Allah has made it compulsory upon you to fast by day, and voluntary to pray by night. Whoever draws nearer (to Allah) by performing any of the (optional) good deeds in (this month) shall receive the same reward as performing an obligatory deed at any other time, and whoever discharges an obligatory deed in (this month) shall receive the reward of performing seventy obligations at any other time. It is the month of patience, and the reward of patience is Heaven. It is the month of charity, and a month in which a believer's sustenance is increased." [Narrated by Ibn Khuzaymah]
Since I have no disposable income to speak of, I remembered that the last time that I needed help, you all helped me out, and I'm not even a worthy cause, unlike: Southall Black Sisters, "a not-for-profit organisation, was established in 1979 to meet the needs of black (Asian and African-Caribbean) women. Our aims are to highlight and challenge violence against women; empower them to gain more control over their lives; live without fear of violence; and assert their human rights to justice, equality and freedom. For more than two decades we have been at the forefront of challenging domestic and gender violence locally and nationally, and campaigning for the provision of support services to enable women and their children to escape violent relationships."
As many of you know, SBS was almost shut down by Ealing council last year because they 'only' cater to black and minority ethnic women, and in order free themselves from funding uncertainties they're asking for donations.
