20-something dude with lame Bret Michaels bandana: Come on babe, let me walk you home. Actually, fuck it, come over and watch a movie with me, I got some beer.
Unattractive older blonde: Nah, can't, I've got work in the morning, and I'm already wasted.
20-something dude with lame Bret Michaels bandana: Aw, you know I'll get you up as early as you need to get to work on time. You know I will. Plus, I'm pretty drunk, but I'm your cousin, so you don't even have to worry that I'll try to stick my wiener in you!
Unattractive older blonde: Well, alright.

I'm ridiculously excited about the threesome on Gossip Girl tonight. And by 'ridiculously excited' I mean that I marked it on my calandar weeks ago and have been looking forward to it with much anticpation. Even when I figured out who the threesome involved (and it's no one interesting), I'm still so excited.

I don't usually spread around the information that I watch Gossip Girl every week. I know it has bad acting and writing and directing and the story lines are all on crack. I've tried to quit, but I just can't. It's too trashy and delicious and I love it.

I thought I'd come out of the Gossip Girl closet on the off-chance that someone on my f-list is also caught up in the show. And maybe that person will also be excited about the threesome =D

I've been meaning to update but in the meantime, I have fic. Next-generation HP fic that is. A very slightly older version has been up on Phoenix Song for a while (sans bad language), but some may not have seen it. Or may have seen it and loathed it. Very possible, judging from the reviews I've had so far, which have been kind, but largely frustrated.

Title: Slight Return (I didn't write this as a songfic, the title came to me, then I checked the lyrics and they kinda worked so I kept it).
Summary: They have some catching up to do.
Genre: Flangst? Maybe someone can let me know...
Characters / pairings: Sort of a spoiler if I include it, oh what the hell, it's Rose/Scorpius. Narcissa Malfoy. Ron/Hermione if you squint and bear in mind that this stroy references the most harrowing scene in the whole of HP. For my money anyway. For the record, I still love Ron and Hermione who can do very little wrong in my eyes, it's always been that way and it always will be, but that doesn't mean the characters in the story agree necessarily.
Warnings: Open-ended. Complete. There is no more. 
Word count: 5500

Asian conductor to ballerina on train carrying scissors, needle and thread: You know, I could confiscate those scissors. Since 9/11 they are really strict.
Ballerina: I'm just sewing my shoes, they're to cut the thread.
Asian conductor: Some of us would just take them. I won't, I'm just warning you. The needle too. There is this place in the neck you could stick the needle and paralyze someone. (walks away)
Ballerina's seatmate: He watches too many ninja movies.
