Saw this from 
moreteadk and decided to take the test. I was averaging 97-98 wpm listening to Sarah McLachlan, but then my iTunes random hit Gym Class Heroes's "The Queen and I" and I hit my high of:

dgficexchange, yes yes? Featuring layout by twinklepug, sign ups start in about a week!
So, also got a question for you: Which of your own fics/art are you most proud of? Follow-up: Which fic/art of yours do most readers like? Same fic, y/n? I was going to ask which one is your favorite, but that might not be the one you're most proud of :P (It isn't for me!) Feel free to link me!
I've been wondering this for a while. I have this theory that the one you're proud of isn't usually the one most people seem to like. Example: The Barest Hint of Lemon is the fic I'm still getting reviews for. But, for many reasons, it's not what I'd put up as my best work. It's not that I don't like it, it's just...not what I'm most proud of.
On a related note, without a doubt, my absolute WORST has to be this D/G I wrote in 2004 called "Love, Ginny." Oh my god. It was worse than some of the earlier BSB fics I wrote. Best thing ff.net ever did was wipe my account clean and destroy that fic. Except like a year later I found outstreetscribbles saved it. And then her computer got wiped and I thought now it's truly gone. And then she told me she somehow recovered it. Love, Ginny: The Fic That Just Wouldn't Die. Morbid fascination compelled me to ask her to send me the fic, to see if it was as bad as I remembered. It was so much more than that, I cannot say. For a while, before she sent it to me, I was debating whether I should put it up as a "how far I've come" thing, but for the good of all, that thing will never be up for public viewing.

I can't think of any others (of our friends), but I think Stor has bitched about GG at one point. FAT WHORES CLUB GANGING UP TIME?!
Oh whatever. I can't talk my way out of this one. :'(
But I seriously miss the office. Yesterday I quoted to the intern that he should go on a date and watch gossip girl (he watches) and it'd be a win-win-win. XD
Well this Wednesday (Tuesday for Canada) is the last episode filmed. Soooo that's that. :\
ANYWAY!!! Dan has the witty going for him, but I don't like his stuttering/rambling quirk. :\
HAHAHA YEAH!! It's WEIRD especially when he's also like, really witty at the same time.
I think it's the writing, mainly. I mean, I've never been a big fan of the "rich people have it tough!" thing, but I would be fine with it if the dialogue wasn't such crap. The storyline they can't be blamed as much for, b/c it's based to some degree on a book series (the book author can be blamed).
I know I read fanfic, even bad fanfic, on a regular basis. But GG's writing is just horrible. It feels like the writers have no imagination at all and are just recycling (stylistic writing) cliches.
That said, I may tease Jody about it, but I don't think it's horrible if someone does enjoy it. I watched and LOVED 'Kid Nation', which was like G-rated Survivor. Completely bland and feel-good emptiness.
Yes! Arrange an emergency FAT WHORES meeting! We shall fight our enemies with our Draco icons.
Poor L, her journal has been taken over by us. XD

I watch GG! BUT. It is nowhere near as good as Vmars, FNL, or The OC...can't think of other teenage shows I've watched. I watch mainly for the clothes, New York, and the music (which isn't as good as I expected! coming from the lady who does Grey's Anatomy and The OC). Whereas Vmars was all snappy and everything, something about GG flatlines. It's still entertaining to watch don't get me wrong, it's just like, doesn't command your intense concentration. Maybe it's the lack of mystery and suspenseful plot.
FNL rocks GG though; it's got so much emotion in a real-life drama show. I love it.
PS - Blair's headbands? AWESOME.
Have you ever watched Gilmore Girls? haha I know B doesn't like that show, but the Logan on that show who dates Rory/Alexis Bledel? BEST BOYFRIEND. He was in a lot of ways like Logan Echolls actually. Except with all the murder charges and stuff XD
I definitely like FNL to GG - FNL's just got so much going on with it, it doesn't feel so pointless.
Blair's porcelain doll grandma dresses with ruffles and lacey collars! :DD
Sadly I never caught onto Gilmore Girls. :\ But I know fandom is divided up between Rory and... Milo Vas;ldkfj;alskj and Matt Czurasdkfj.
Let me know what you think of Gossip Girl tonight. I caught the Canadian broadcast dl last night, but I wanna talk about it with someone...
