1. Does anyone know if there's a community for Scrubs downloads? I miss Zach Braff!
2. I realized that I don't have any icons of Rodney smiling or looking happy--I'm all about the moody, angsty shots for some reason. Can anybody point me to some happy!Rodney icons? He's got such a pretty smile...
3. What is the general fandom opinion about giving first names (or last names) to characters that don't canonically have them? I try to avoid it as much as possible, but if you're seriously writing about these characters, it eventually becomes necessary. In their wonderful fics The Sincerest Form of Flattery and Identification,
z_rayne and
lamardeuse have set a precedence for Lorne and Parrish being called Nick and David, respectively (ETA: apparently, this originally came from
casspeach--*tips hat*); this is one case where I really like there being a fanon rule, because there is no canon one, and it weirds me out when it's like, "Oh, he's Bob this week, is he?" I dunno, maybe I'm just a whore for consistency, but. Thoughts?
4. Hey, you know what I need? Tips on how to seduce my new Irish Literature tutor. He looks like Dylan Moran, he's SCOTTISH, he's cute and adorable and I want him ON ME. I'm serious. Really, really serious. How does one go about seducing someone? Like, in real life and not in my silly two-bit porn. EDUCATE ME.
*cough*
5. Yeah, and does anyone have Franz Ferdinand's You Could Have It So Much Better that they could upload for me? I'd be happy to upload something else in return. Or, um, I could add the fic prompt of your choice to my already lengthy backlog. The choice is yours!
...
His name is Peter. I...both hate and love feeling like this. Hate because nothing ever comes of it, but love because...I never stop hoping. Never.

Date: 2006-01-17 02:24 am (UTC)The tight/revealing/sexy clothing suggestion is good, but that's not really the thing that does it for most guys. In a dance club or something, the clothing can be everything cause it's the signal for "hey, I want to leave with someone I didn't show up with." But you're seeing this guy in school, so you need a whole different tactic.
I'll tell you what works to get the message of "I like you" across to even the most dimwitted guy. Spend lots and lots of unnecesary time around him. Go to his office hours whenever you possibly can. Talk to him for as long as you can during each office hour and before or after class. (Probably not before and after, that'd be weird) If you can't make his office hours, arrange some with him anyway. Your reasons don't have to be very good. You could ask stupid questions about Yeats if you want. Just make sure to ask lots and lots of them.
If you spend enough time around him, he'll figure it out. Then start throwing in the sexy clothes too. After that... I don't know. I don't usually have girls go farther than that with me.
