Oooh, crossposty goodness

Mostly I'm just testing out the crossposting tool over at Dreamwidth, but since I'm here and typing anyway...you are all following @dhewlett on Twitter, y/y? He is so goddamn sweet and yet dorky I just want to snuggle him. Today he's posting about all the hair product and make-up he used in the 80s. Now I need a fic where Rodney knows a little too much about applying eyeliner and using flat irons for some weird alien ritual and has to fess up to his glam rock past. Yes.

That or, my own personal canon: Back in his young blond hair days, he lost some funding at a certain point because of academic politics(ie he was a total diva...), so he thought he could take his bitchy snarky attitude to performing as a drag queen and earn some good money. Plus he could release his inner diva. And his drag queen name was Meredita.

That or glam rock phase...

Twitter, huh? Are you doing that and do I have you on my list? you could be hearing all about my bitching about coworkers!

I'm bitsy, if you are interested, let me know who you are and I'll add you to my list.

And how the hell did you get such a swinging DW layout???! Nice!

I shall send you my @twitter name on email as I am deeply unoriginal and it's pretty much my RL name. (Or, actually, you'll figure out who I am when start stalking you in 3...2..1...)

Ah! The layout! Yes, it is fun huh? And it is explained in such a way that EVEN I could do it! Here, have a tutorial (and I used the author's link to her Mixit layouts to find this one but I'm sure there are many others out there): Tutorial!

I couldn't resist -- I had to change my LJ to a different kind of pretty.

Your LJ is very pretty!! How do you find such pretty layouts?? I can only find boring ones when I look.

I'm so fucking sick of snowmen themes.

The new layout is also from thefulcrum -- I think it's called Ocean's Thirteen or something. I like the little birds with the comment numbers in their tummies! EAT MY COMMENTS, BIRDS. AND FUCK YOU, SNOWMEN.

You do realize that between Twitter, LJ, and DW, we are capable of carrying out THREE SEPARATE CONVERSATIONS AT A TIME.

Wait, that's totally what we're already doing. We should add gchat and see if we can blow up the internet.

(What's lame about Canadian Twitter, speaking of texting, is that only 1 cell phone carrier -- not mine -- lets you receive tweets via text, or tweet via text. It's all very old-school. Stupid Canada.)

Oh, god, I have a vision of painful poseur!Rodney from the 80s, so convinced he's got this "cool" thing DOWN while everyone just stares and stares at his makeup and feathered hair.

Who then mercilessly tossed him aside. Woe!

Poor Rodney! No wonder he keeps his hair short and avoids all fashion now. The trappings of glamour, they WOUND YOU.

He stole his mother's clip-on fake diamond earrings as he was horrified by the sanitary practices in the mall, but the scars are still there! Emotional type scars that you can only see in the dark from his WOUNDS from GLAMOR.

Re: I bet his ass looked particularly fine in a satin unitard...
And then, one tragic day, while on a mission offworld, a mysterious alien ritual requires that Rodney don a satin unitard, clip-on fake diamond earrings, and a blonde Farrah wig. And John is baffled (and a little disappointed) when Rodney outright refuses and starts saying "THEY REEL YOU IN WITH THE SPARKLES BUT YOU PAY LATER WITH PAIN."

Re: I bet his ass looked particularly fine in a satin unitard...
And Rodney sheds one perfect crystal tear (which he learned to do accidentally poking himself in the eye with a mascara wand). Ronon is so moved (or, you know, annoyed) by Rodney's perfect tear that he volunteers for the satin and the sparkles, but Rodney won't let him do it, because Ronon has already lost so much! So when they bring out the glitter eye-shadow and the fake eyelashes, Rodney grits his teeth and sucks it up.

Re: I bet his ass looked particularly fine in a satin unitard...
Only he'd forgotten -- how it felt, so intoxicating, so freeing somehow, to hide behind the perfect mask of teased hair and rouge -- and almost immediately, Rodney was remembering every night in the discotheque in Fort McMurray, every thumping bassline, every disdainfully smiling guy who'd ever taken him by the hand and pulled him out to the alley behind the bar.

And then there he was, the chieftain's son, tall and built and beckoning Rodney to the proverbial alley behind the bar. And Rodney was so caught up that all he remembered was how empowering it felt to have some hot guy want him so bad he couldn't wait to get him home that Rodney went. Or, well, he tried to, but then John TOTALLY OVERREACTED, WHAT YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE ALLOWED TO GET LAID ON MISSIONS NOW, KIRK, and pointed his P-90 at the chieftain's son and then there was running and shouting and then Rodney was falling through the gate. In his shiny satin unitard and feathered hair in all his glory in front of twenty Marines.

Does it entice you at all to hear I'm in the midst of writing "Stupid in Love", a McKay/Sheppard redo of Music and Lyrics, wherein Rodney and Daniel were once a cheesy 80s duo called GenIUS? I even have songs;)

I am picturing John glaring at him and hissing "And you wouldn't shut up about my sparkly curtains, and the candles, and the whole time you used to own half of Cover Girl!"

COVER GIRL. John, you are totally also suspiciously familiar with cosmetics!

I definitely want to read about Rodney in eyeliner! Or Sheppard, I think it would suit Sheppard very well, since he already has the armband and the black clothing and the funky hair.
Ha, I was going on about them being in a glam rock band and then I reread you and saw you mentioned it already. Then it must be a good idea!
They could play in Sheppard's garage (which is probably twice the size of Rodney's house), when they're not riding the pony of course (that just sounds wrong).

*snert* But it's an *excellent* choice of euphemism. John's dad would never catch on. "Busy riding the pony all afternoon, there, boys?"

"Yes, Mr. Sheppard!"

I *love* that they let you set crossposting to default. I kept forgetting to ticky box before posting with other journals!!

I am getting more and more excited at how DW is facilitating having friends across journal platforms.

YES. It is very great, I was worried I'd be left in the dust with my non-Semagic-capable iMac here. But since I don't usually use LJ clients anyway, this is just brilliant for me!

Are you letting me stalk you on Twitter yet? Are you? Huh? HUH?

Come on, you know you want to hear me tweet profound things like "I just had to look up 4/20 on Wikipedia. I AM THAT COOL Y'ALL."

Huh. You'd never guess I work in publishing with that list, would you...?

My feed is pretty much the slightly more uncensored version of my Facebook status (which is read by literal 10-yo's in my organization). So far what I like best about Twitter is that my mom hasn't figured it out yet. Yeah. If I suddenly start being weirdly polite, you'll know what happened there.

Hah!! that is why they make twitter names so damn easy to change! And also make the accts so easy to lock. I keep alternating between unlocking... and then when the Marketing Mgr comes by asking me about Twitter and if I know anything about it, I lock my account up again.

FYI, one of my friends found out that people can search for you by the email you associate w/your account. Just FYI.

I know, I know... sigh. I should probably lock it down but I *like* having a space where I can feel like I'm dodging the wee ones. It probably won't last. LJ (and DW) you are my secret haven of profanity and overt crassness.

There, I have gone mildly stealthy and changed my username and the email. (I still, however, have a link to my "work" blog from Twitter and vice versa so it's probably less stealthy than it needs to be still.) You are prompting all sorts of prudence in me! BAD BEET.

I don't mind at all but b/c my Twitter account is a RL account, I'll send it to you in an email if that's okay. It's a non-fannish Twitter account so most of my tweets are things like "OMG! I LOVE LUNCH!" and complaining about work. Prepare to be amazed with the banality!
