So seeing as this is the EMMYS, hosted by NEIL, and is supposed to have a DR. HORRIBLE-themed musical number, this is going to be pretty much the most legendary night of television ever. Hopefully. Which, of course, calls for a stream-of-consciousness liveblog where I ramble about all the results, as they happen, in real time!

Please don't judge me for some of the things I wrote in here. I literally wrote the first things that came to mind.

( Emmy ramblings (and I do mean ramblings) under the cut... )

And thus ends another night of me not being productive. I should really try to get some homework done before I pass out again.

The awesome voters at himym_awards have seen fit to give my fanfic prizes? Say what??

( Pretty banners! )

Let's see, what else. Oh! My mom finally hired someone to take my old supervisor's place! He's not going to start until three days before I leave, though. Oh well.

And 11 more days to Elon!!!!!!! &hearts

So Neil's officially hosting the Emmys, which I already knew, but check out the statement he made about it:

“I'm looking forward to the challenge of the show – adding my own voice to it, while honoring the nominees and the entire year in television. But which voice to choose? I'm torn between gangsta, foppish brit, and robot. Really proud of my robot. We'll see what happens on the night.”

Oh Neil. Do you not know what you do to my brain every time you give me these little shoutouts*? asjdfklasdjfklsdajklf;asdl.

*It's totally a shoutout, so shut up.


Anyway! The Legendary Awards are now voting for HIMYM fanfiction, which I not only help run, but also got a bunch of nominations for!! Eeeeeeeee!!! I'm competing against myself in a few categories, which is odd, but also kind of exciting! (And if only I could stop myself from stalking the results page, maybe I'd be able to sleep at night.)

My fics up for awards are *drumroll*: Shot Through the Heart (best humor), The Ted Show (best humor), Letting it Out (best episode follow-up and best minor character), and The Journey (best Ted). I'm also a contributor to the Afterdeath (best AU and best long multichapter) and Valentine/Barely Coping (also best AU and best long multichapter) universes. (I got honorable mentions for my Memento Mori theory and for participating in the HIMYM roleplay, as well.)

Voting ballots are here:

Part One
Part Two

Good luck to everyone on my flist who was nominated!! This year, as Christian Siriano might say, the competition's going to be fierce. =P And a huge thank-you to those that nominated me! =)


In other news, my zombie plant is dying again. Sigh. I really wish it'd stop doing that.

I'm excited. Are you excited?? I'm excited.

Obviously, Oscar spoilers below the cut. (And the cut text doesn't count as a spoiler, because Slumdog got like a bazillion nominations. And it and WALL-E are like the only two films I've seen that got any nominations, and WALL-E doesn't have any quotable lines. ...So there.)
