Oh, internet. <3

I went from Dial Up Land to No Internet Land on New Years Eve and got back late last night after all sorts of fun trying to find a taxi home. Ugh.

( New Years: bonfires, ferries, Shapeshifer being awesome and the geeky singing of Flight of the Conchords songs )

Still home now. Need to get shit sorted and move my stuff into my new room that my now former flatmate vacated while I was away. Sunshine! And a view over the city. I'm excited.

I may have already caught up with Vegas and the Dr Who Christmas special. *sheepish look*

( SGA: Vegas )

( Dr Who: The Next Doctor )

Also, Yuletde authors were revealed and I wrote:

To what place (PG) - American Gods fanfic about Laura for tahanrien.

Happily my recipient liked it and I've recieved some very nice reviews. :)

I have a few Yuletide recs at my delicious and hope to add some more as I work through some more tabs.

While I was away I made some new icons. Finally! I downloaded GIMP and it's pretty awesome for something so very free. I uh, may have become a little obsessed with some effects as some of the icons show.

Three whole days til I'm back at work. Joy.

Had an interesting weekend. Friday night was insane, but good, but insane. (Why is it always two days after I do things that I start to get all neurotic about them?). I kinda lost Saturday in a haze of sleeping, Eddie Izzard, SGA episodes and fic writing avoidance, and then today was having a coffee with my friend and fic writing. I also just watched Superbad. Pretty hilarious, not like 'best comedy ever' but certainly enjoyable.

While doing a little tag tidying yesterday (I had five tags for Grey's Anatomy) I found this rather hilarious post when I first watched SGA a couple of years ago, before I watched three whole seasons in a row and got fannish about it.

Ford, my favourite character? Rodney is annoying? Apathetic about Teyla? Oh 2005!self, what was going on?

And uh, I may have committed fic? I had something almost done this morning but then ended up trashing all but 100 words and starting again from John's POV, which I found a lot easier than Lorne's. I was really wanting this to be a Lorne POV on Lorne and Sheppard's relationship (no, not like that), but then John came along and brought a lot more Rodney to it. Who would have guessed that would happen in my brain? ;)

So, yeah. The Only Option (John, McKay/Sheppard, little bit of Lorne, SGA, PG-13, approx 1200 words). First time SGA fic.

Lastly, something random. I always used to think aviator sunglasses were a bad look on anyone. This opinion has changed in the last six months and I blame one, okay now two, men. Joe Flanigan. Davd Tennant. Stop it.

As I now have a Yuletide fic to write, and I haven't written fic in an age:

The first fifteen people to comment on this post get to request a drabble from you. In return, they have to post this meme in their journal. Post all fandoms you’re willing to write for.

I'll write: Sportsnight, West Wing*, Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Dr.Who, Harry Potter, SGA (what?), House, Heroes, Ocean's Eleven, PotC, Veronica Mars* ... hell, anything you know I might have watched or read about recently, I'll give it a go.

* Bearing in mind there are some later episodes I haven't seen, so there are some characters I'm not that familiar with.

Stolen from a lot of people, but most recently laylee.


SGA? Still a ridiculous amount of awesome.

1. My houserareathon entry is up. Keys (Foreman, Wilson, House, G). Meep. I haven't posted fic in ages. *frets*

2. I really need to learn to just shut up some days. Really. That shall be my aim tomorow. To think before I speak.

3. I've started watching Rescue Me and I'm really quite enjoying it. It made me cry tonight (standard disclaimer: it's not that hard). Dennis Leary deserves the GG nom he got.

4. DVD Unlimited sent me disc 1 of the new Battlestar Galactica and it took me less than 24 hours to get through. Ooh, it's pretty. Oh so pretty.

5. I swear I'm almost counting down the hours till Veronica Mars on Friday.

6. My life really isn't this much about television. Really.

I thought I might as well share the poem-type thing I wrote for alternate_verse's Wordathon (which now has a community over at fridgemagnetfic). It was a great idea, and you can check out the above link to see what words had to be used in the fic/poem.
