I took two years of French and tragically I still have no idea what 'poutine' is. If I agreed to/suggested something that labels me as a goofball...I'm going to blame it on sleep deprivation. :) I'm also going to chalk that up for being the reason I saw 'Supernatural/House crossover' and went "Awesome!" despite never having seen the show. I've heard it spoken of though...always good things. Is it possible to get out of jury duty with the excuse "I was too dumb to go to bed at a decent hour. Two nights in row."? Silly me. And now I'm leaving weird, rambling comments in the LJs of unsuspecting people. I'm going to bed now before I start doing karaoke.

its fries, gravy and cheese. yum yum. haha. :)

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

you forgot the salt.

SO DAMNED YUMMY.

[kindigo.livejournal.com]

Poutine is cheesy French fries. With gravy. Crazy CanooksCanadians. ♥

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

There's nothing wrong with Canadians that can't be solved by a two-four (24 beer) or a double-double (coffee, two cream and two sugar) :D

We have a lot of chemical dependancy slang, I realize.

[kindigo.livejournal.com]

I first read that as "There's nothing wrong with Canadians that can't be solved by a two-by-four" and was frightened for a small moment.

And don't you have money called loonies? I think that explains a lot. =D

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

We do have oddly-named currency. It started like this: Back in the day, we changed from a regular $1 bill to a $1 coin, and on the back of that coin was a loon (to be fair, the other coins have a maple leaf (penny), a beaver (nickle), a ship (dime), cariboo (quarter)), so everyone called it the loonie.

Then we got a $2 coin and it was only logical to call it the twoonie.

We're a people with strange customs.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Poutine is the fastest route to a heart attack. It's french fries, gravy, and cheese curds (not cheese, but cheese *curds*, as any Quebecois worth his salt will tell you). So truly Canadian.

Supernatual v. House... it's one of those weird ideas, ya know? House is a wonderful show. I like the "disease of the week" problems, and everything has been so well acted. I loves it.

Odd comments are fun. For example, this one. Hee hee.

[sorceress-death.livejournal.com]

curds? Is it anything like cheese whiz? *tilts head*

Doesn't sound to weird tho. Then again I'm from philly and half the stuff we eat other people go 'a wha?' ^_^

Sounds yummy though.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Cheese curds are basically like crumble "young" cheese. Melts really easy, and oh-so-yummy.

Basically, the whole dish is like chili fries without the chili, but gravy.

And right now, the thought is making me go *ugh*. Tonight was 20-cent wings night, and cheap beer, with my co-workers. I never want to eat again.

[penyn-1600.livejournal.com]

Well, I know I missed you! ::goes to check out today's cuteness::

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

That website is so damned cute. I check it three times a day.

[angelofwar.livejournal.com]

But before you start a new story, you need to work on your other WIPs. Like Inevitable. We really need more of it. :D

[thymidinekinase.livejournal.com]

Yes, please continue and complete _Inevitable_ before beginning new and fascinating adventures in crossover-land. Or at least tell me how it ends. ;)

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

I know, I know. I'm just trying to jumpstart my writing engine with something that doesn't mean much, so I can can get back to Inevitable with all guns a-blazing.

Only less guns, more typing fingers.

[booster17.livejournal.com]

House crossovers are automatically fascinating. *anime eyes of extreme cuteness* Pretty please....

[firefox1490.livejournal.com]

Your icon is so cute.

[booster17.livejournal.com]

Rather fond of this one as well.

[firefox1490.livejournal.com]

LOL Wolvie!!!!!!!!!! LOL Very Cool

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Yes, I've become quite facinated with House in general. He's so damned... I hate to say "cute", but you do want to take him home and wrap him in blankets.

Ahem.

I'll do what I can. I've only seen half of the first season of House, but his charming personality has done through.

[lizey.livejournal.com]

The personality does that, doesn't it? I can take or leave most of the characters and I get enough medicine at university, but the man himself? They could do an entire episode with him stuck alone in a frigging elevator and I'd watch for the bored antics and snarky monologue.

[windiain.livejournal.com]

I looked up poutine. Er. The concept of gravy and cheese makes me feel a little ill. Maybe UK gravy is different, so while UK gravy and cheese would be foul, Canadian gravy and cheese would be yummy.

Cheque is the correct way to spell it in my book, though. :D

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

It's not as gross as it sounds. It's got the four major food groups -- fat, salt, starch and gravy.

Cheque is the only way to spell it, in my world. I write a cheque and I check on that cheque later on. No one understands us poor monarchists.

[thekams.livejournal.com]

Mmmm...poutine. I really want one, now. LoL. Did you know, the restaurant found at Zellers and The Bay makes an awesome poutine? You can even get a chicken one with chicken, gravy and cheese.
I've also had one with buffalo gravy, and it's actually amazing.

But I ramble. Yay fic! Supernatural/Harry Potter would be awesome, and so would so more WiPs! lol ♥

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

O_o

Sadly, the Bay/Zellars out in BC has no restaurants. Well, they do, but they serve crappy "West Coast" food. So no poutine.

*iz sad*

At this point, I'd settle for any story, at all, to work for me. It's been a long, writing-free months.

[thekams.livejournal.com]

Well that's highly annoying, now, isn't it? If you ever find yourself in an east coast Zellers, you'll have to try one.

I'm sure something will work for you =) A plot bunny will be born sooner or later, lol.

[zephyrrs.livejournal.com]

Today's cuteness is just...awwwwwwww...

Your age.. I think you are older than 27, but I think you are not yet 40. Every new birthday in my late 30s has me inching toward the more cynical. I'm projecting here...I don't see your cynical impeding your creative just yet. Therefore, I am guessing 27 because it is the only choice that reflects these criteria. However, I really want to say somewhere in the 29-32 option. However, since that wasn't a choice I am obviously wrong on all counts.

PS - I recently read all your stories off the wraithbait profile. I loved them all. However, I'm not sure you received that feedback - so there it is!

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Your rational regarding my age astonishes me. I will say that your eventual choice is spot-on, at least until next Wednesday :D However, I suspect that I am more cynical than I let on in writing. Or maybe I'm a closet optimist. (Although I read once that all cynics are optimists -- they just have been dissapointed enough in life.)

Yay for the wraithbait stories! I should write some more SGA stories... that's a fandom with such rich crossover possibilities.

[seadreamer.livejournal.com]

Well, SQUEE over a Sookie Stackhouse possibility, but I wonder if the Anita Blake world isn't too tough for her. Even after everything she's been through, she still seems so... I don't know? Innocent, maybe? But I do like that woman. In fact, I think I KNOW that woman. *lol*

You know that we'll devour anything you write and beg for more. ^_~

[thymidinekinase.livejournal.com]

Sookie is reminiscent of early-series Anita. Or maybe pre-series Anita.

[kindigo.livejournal.com]

Except so much saner. Bur yeah to the innocence; however I think that she could handle it.

[firefox1490.livejournal.com]

voulez-vous de poutine?

You want something and thats all I got.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

"Do you want poutine?"

Fries and gravy and cheese curds, all in an artery-clogging dish. It's fun times, I'll say that.

[firefox1490.livejournal.com]

Ohhhhh hey my french is getting better I got part of it.

[shadow-in-eden.livejournal.com]

Mhal! You live! Woot-age!

That is all.

Oh, I didn't answer your first question, because I was confused about at least half the things you want to cross. I'd go for anything with House in though, dispite my SPN hate squickness.

I really don't get that show. Not scary, and not sexy.

... Note to self, don't piss off the rare Mhal-beast.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

To each our own :)

All I have to do now is finish the House fic. It's half-way done. Maybe I need to watch more House.

And I'm sort of alive. I need a relaxtion weekend or something. I'm having a hell of a time this month.

[gale-dragoon.livejournal.com]

....I am ammused by House meeting the Winchesters.

Also? Harry Potter/ House would tickle me pink right now.

And yay for getting abuductedkidnappedby the elderly Birt I know. Now I shall go bug others with my infected speech.

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

I have this idea of Cameron having a sister who's a witch (Hermione-like) and her going into medicine is a way for her to save the world.... an odd plot angle that might work.

Damn it.

[gale-dragoon.livejournal.com]

Oh god I can see the sister now. XD Sending him random questions too for advice.

[elenariel.livejournal.com]

So I ended up picking both HP/SPN and House/SPN, both of which I would loooove to see.;)

Poutine sounds interesting, since I love chipsfries with cheese anyway, and cheques are so spelt that way lol. And just to cram another British stereotype in there, it is raining outside too. :D

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Cheese melted over anything, with gravy added, is awesome. Cheese on bread? Great. Cheese on potato-chips? Not half bad. Cheese on apple pie? Great! (just skip the gravy on that one)

And just to cram another British stereotype in there, it is raining outside too. :D
I'm in Vancouver, BC. We've had about 5 hours of sunlight in the last 5 months. Rain, snow, fog... it's all ours. Oh, I love this town.

[sorceress-death.livejournal.com]

squee. today's cuteness was very cute.

We need Sookie fics period. Cause those vamps amuse me. I LOVE that series.

Have you seen the Dresden files yet? The main character is a wizard with the first name of Harry. Once the series picks up I wonder where those crossovers will lead *snickers* But he's more of a 'give me money, and I'll help with a dash of sarcasism and sexiness to go along' I say you watch. Kind of reminds me of House for some reason.

[zephyrrs.livejournal.com]

I'm glad that my crazy warped thought process amuses me. I have an issue with the entire optimism vs. pessimism debate. I believe I'm a cynical realist....the glass is twice as large as it needs to be.

;-)

As for SGA -- yay! I would like to see a conversation between Hermione and Rodney. ;-)
