dancing, moodthemes, fic requests

[rose_griffes]

Last night I was a chaperon at a church youth dance. Nope, Mormons don't forbid dancing... we actually have dances at our church gyms on a regular basis. Heh--when I was growing up all my (non-Mormon) friends in Oklahoma thought that was so weird. (Lots of small towns in Oklahoma used to have laws forbidding dancing... and some of my friends had pastors who preached against dancing, too.) Anyway--recently I was asked to work with the girls, ages 12-13, rather than doing the music-related stuff I was doing before. That means getting an occasional turn as chaperon for the youth dance.

The kids were adorably geeky and having a great time. I'm torn between feeling:
a) optimistic about the future--kids who know how to have fun and are such cute nerds!
or b) tragically old and un-hip, because I didn't know the words to any of the songs that they liked.

Change of topic! I need a pretty moodtheme. Not Battlestar Galactica. Maybe muppets or The Princess Bride? Or... cats? Puppies? Where does one find such a thing? (I realize that puppets and princesses don't exactly match the green/black and floral thing I have on my LJ, but I... don't care. I want cute funny pictures. Then maybe I'll actually bother selecting a mood for entries. and I'll stop getting 'black' as the answer for that stupid LJ moodring meme, WHAT DOES THAT THING KNOW!?!

Lastly, as long as I'm soliciting things, got any favorite Caprica or New Caprica resistance fics? I think I'm going to make a rec list of Resistance stories. (Feel free to mention your own work.)

I always had a fondness for my au new caprica fics "Six and Two" and "Two Tribes Gone To War".

And Ingrid and I wrote "The Peace of My Years" which is also a New Caprica AU.

Yay, thank you! It's way too easy for me to overlook Gaeta while looking for stuff about the New Caprica resistance.

I think I've read 'Six and Two' and 'Two Tribes,' but it's been a while. When I first found fanfic almost two years ago I sort of went on a reading binge for a few weekends and the stuff I read all started mixing together in my mind. Heh.
