Maybe a bit happier will help?
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was.
Maybe this year will not suck as much.
I have been a very good fan this year. I promise. Despite the fact I have two unfinished DragonAge fics sitting around, I have been very productive this year.
My fandoms, and I will not lie, are rather an odd bunch. As are my tastes in fic. Some basic info about yours truly, dear Yule Goat, as there are so many of us to keep track of. I am female, turning 31 Soon(tm). I am an academic, in the liberal arts, working on my phd. I am a nerd, who podcasts about the stories in video games. I write lots of slash, but have written some gen – I’ll read anything, so long as it is well written and with a good plot. I don’t shy away from really anything, and you might be hard pressed to shock me if you go that route.
Here are the fandoms I have requested this year: Read more
Dear Yule Goat,
This year, I have been a very good fan. Unfortunately, I am a fan with obscure fandoms, and feel very lonely sometimes. As such, I would like to request the following from your most bountiful hooves.

She remembered the taste of green grass.
She remembered the taste of clean water.
She remembered the taste of fresh morning winds.
All of these things were gone now. But she had given them up willingly, given them up because of what she was. She was Grimtotem. She was one of the few, chosen by Magatha Grimtotem herself, to go seek a new tool for the clan, to venture into the Plaguelands along side the Light blinded idiots and fools. But her purpose had been different.
She sought death.
She sought life unliving, power undying. And she had found it.
And now thanks to that fool Fordring she truly had what the clan desired. She was Grimtotem. But she was also a Deathknight.
She turned her face into the steel edged wind, and tasted death in it.
Yellow Drum Machine is a robot that lives to find things and play on them. Play DRUMS on them! Usually I’m pretty creeped out by robots that look too alive, but this one manages to be totally cute while at the same time seeming to be alive. So I guess it wins on cuteness over creepy. Or at least, it does, until I imagine some nutter building a 20 foot long one and turning it lose in a major city for it to play drums on buildings, cars, people…
You can find more about Yellow Drum Machine, and the not evil people who made it, here.
Cows make lousy house guests, Arkansas woman learns
Four days after cows broke into her home, a woman in Murfreesboro, Ark., says she’s still in shock.
You read that right. This poor woman came home and found cows in her house.
The largest of the animals weighed 1,600 pounds.
Pike County sheriff’s deputies, assisted by two high school teachers from nearby, helped remove the cows.

Pike County (Ark.) Sheriff's Department An exhausted cow sprawled out in the yard of a house in Murfreesboro, Ark., on Monday. She and two others had broken into the home and wrecked the interior before being removed.
Seriously, that looks like cow spring break happened. Well partied, my bovine brothers and sisters. Party on!
