Ramblings and Musings of the Insane, Philosophical Ladybug

... Wow, I have two h/c related tags. I didn't remember I even had one. XD; Why don't I use those tags for my blurbs? Most of them would fit.

I had an odd urge to re-read my recent Monkees fanfics at the beginning of last week. So I did. Gosh, I could have gotten entire scenes out of the parts I summarized! XD; But aside from that, and aside from not having delved into the Monkees' characters as much as I could have, I still quite like them. I kinda want to go back and re-write at least The Return of Baby Face Morales and flesh things out. Seeing all those summarized parts made me cringe. I really dread summarizing anything now, and I struggle with the decision the few times I decide it really is best.

I actually decided to put Baby Face and his gang in my most recent Carmen Sandiego fic, Falling Down Like Dominoes. It happened because I was describing what was stolen, and since I'd just re-read my Monkees fics, I put that the DeWitt jewel collection had been purloined. Then I shrugged and thought, Let it be the same DeWitt collection and Baby Face wants to steal it again too. So they ended up in it, though Baby Face and Ruby are the only ones who were named. It was amusing and interesting writing for them another time. I think I still have the touch.

I'm one fic shy of finishing my Carmen Sandiego 10 H/C claim. X3 Then I already have two more tables waiting in the wings. I love that comm! I'm so glad they started adding many tables, because the original one didn't inspire me too much. XD; And there's so many possible prompts one can use for H/C fics. Just one table is not nearly enough! It's definitely a comm after my own heart. Friendship h/c for the win!

For that one fic left, I've just started chapter 4. I'm not sure how many chapters it'll end up being. But I'm really excited to write it all for another reason, too---it'll be my first complete multi-chapter disaster fic. Then I'm hoping I can go back and tackle that FF7 earthquake fic.

I had a weird dream earlier, and it inspired this strange, dark, and angsty mobster blurb. XD This is unfinished, but I was curious to see what would be thought of it so I decided to post what there is before I must scamper off to watch the last Twelve Kingdoms DVD! It has to go back later today, so I must watch it all now. XD

It's amusing, this was supposed to be narrated by Ruby, but when I started writing it, Tony decided he wanted to speak.

I finished this tonight! W00t! I'm very pleased.

Heh, well, this figures: I hit another snag in Prisms, so while I was trying to sort that out I ended up typing out all the rest of the Beta Theme Set. XD Now I have even more plot bunnies. I must do fics based on #9 and #12, and the little saga depicted in #14, #19, #30, #32, #49, and #50.

And holy cats, I'm absolutely certain I spotted Jimmy as an extra during one of the songs in The Desert Song. If I'd had a closer view of the guy I'd be positive, but it sure as heck looked just like him from what I could see! The time period would be about right, it was made in 1953, and the earliest known role of his was 1954, guest-starring on the Annie Oakley TV show.

Aubrie made me a lovely little mobster colorbar in return for me writing a testimonial for her. X3 I love it. **pets it.**

And I discovered that I can't write the bio for the home school graduates newsletter thing! **laughs.** I can only really talk about myself in that kind of a thing when describing what I like and don't like and why, so I'm recruiting Mom to write some of the other stuff. XD;

I've been wanting to try one of the 1sentence community's theme sets with Baby Face and Ruby, just for fun. I didn't see any point in joining the community, since I'm not a romance buff in general and since they most likely wouldn't be familiar with my pairing, so I just wrote it up in Wordpad and don't intend to take it there. But I'll post it here. ^^ I used the Epsilon set, and I actually ended up with a couple of plot bunnies, which I imagine is the idea behind the concept.
