Because my parents stayed home today since most of the roads were closed and I need something to help keep my sanity in tact.
The 30 Day Meme
Day 02 → Your favorite movie
Okay, this is a hard one, because I can't really choose a favorite. It varies from mood to mood, but if I had to pick just one film that I could pretty much watch at any given time and enjoy it immensely, that would be:
It just makes me smile.
On snowy days like this, I quite enjoy watching the Anne of Greengables/Anne of Avonlea miniseries. I don't know why I like watching these when it snows, but I do.
Also, Rush Hour. I love it. A lot.
( Those were the days )
The fanfic in review meme! (stolen from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dollsome) I did this last year and quite enjoyed filling it out, even though no one is friends with me for my fanfic (which means you all love me for me, so don't think I'm complaining). I just am not in the habit of praising my own fic, and I think this meme kind of pushes me to? So, I'm doing it.

( The questions )
Speaking of fanfic, my dorky self has been seeking out Christmas Buffy/Giles fanfics like crazy, and I know I only have like one person on my f-list that reads Buffy/Giles fic, but damn it, I am going to rec a fic a day until Christmas! Who knows, there may be some lurkers out there that love Buffy/Giles just as much as I do. So, today's rec is:
Sierra High by Gail Christison. Granted, the only actual Christmassy stuff is briefly referenced, but since I am surrounded by snow, I think this fic is suitable for the holiday. It's a post-Chosen fic, and it's got horseback riding and angst and creepy lizard werewolf things and bathing and ooooooh I love it!
Also, completely unrelated to Christmas, I whole-heartedly recommend The Blackmail Series byantennapedia. Now, this is an unusual pick for me, simply because I generally prefer plot over porn. I'm just not that into porn when it comes to fic (especially of the BDSM variety), but sometimes it seems like porn of some kind was a requirement for all well-written Buffy/Giles fics back in the day, so, I've been reading a lot of porn. And after awhile, it just gets tiring. But this fic? HOLY HELL, IT'S HOT. And oddly beautiful. It's just a fascinating read, and I love how much it stays in character despite the fact that the subject matter is so far from canon, but damn she makes you believe it. And what I love about this fic is that there's this beautiful romance developing underneath all this kinkiness, and I am so completely wrapped up in it. I actually read the last chapter written before I read anything else because I have this tendency to not pay attention to author's notes and so I missed that it was part of a series, and yet I fell so, so in love with just that one chapter. So, now that I'm all caught up, dear god do I love this story. I cannot wait to see how it turns out. I love how it's written in the way one would do PWP, but at the same time, there's a plot in there about self discovery and finding the person that makes you whole.
