Thank you to those of you who commented on my flocked post. I'm mulling things over about it.

Dude... why do I do this to myself? _end_of_days had a helluva lot of great storylines going on in it, and the ones I was involved in were kinda awesome. So of course now I clicked on a couple of those links right there and found myself getting dragged right back into the stories and I want to finish them! Xander's adverse reactions to magic, Vi's struggle with drugs and her possession by the spirit of the First Slayer, Connor's insecurities and his bizarre connection with Dawn, Anya's fear at being back from the dead for all the wrong reasons, Nhamo's wonder and frustration at all these youngsters and her continuing visions...

I wanna write it.

Dammit.

The Art of Vidding Awards Round 5 Winners have been announced - tough judging this time because so many of the vids were of a similar quality. But yay - we finally got a new series DW vid that was actually watchable! (And we got a Xander-centric vid that was well made!) Round 6 is open for submissions but thedothatgirl is surfing right now and won't be able to update the site until she gets back at the start of June. Go, enter! This is the last round before the 'Best of the Best' round and after that we're going to be overhauling the submission categories and fandoms so this is the perfect time to submit!

I have much love for Dark Angel now, can't seem to stop watching it for some reason (and it's not just the Jensen effect because I love season 1 too!) and it's eating into my SPN finale rewatch time!

I've begged an extension for my essay becase it became really clear last night that there was no way I was going to finish it to my satisfaction in time. I will have it done by Saturday evening, I swear!

And finally... wenchpixie recced this astounding vid in her journal and I want to echo it. It's by skeezerbeans1 and is absolutely awesome. It is a complete summation of the overall arc of Supernatural seasons 1 and 2. Therefore there are spoilers for the finale - if you have not seen the finale, don't watch the vid yet. Just don't. (monkey_matt, this means you). If you have seen the finale, go, watch, stand back and say "This is why I love this show..." (eta wenchpixie has the YouTube version imbedded in her journal, or you can download it from the link I posted above - if you like the vid, please give feedback!)

ETA Yeah, I know I said finally, but I've been spammy enough the past few days so I'm editing this with memes! ( because I am a sheep. An angsty distressed sheep. )

First - the VisualDNA thing that I nabbed from all my flist:



Been on a bunch of journals so far: Comment and I'll give you three of your icons and three of your interests to explain.

( bastardsnow asked about these ones... )

( and gumboy asked about these: )

( and acme54's turn )

( bellatemple wanted to know... )

From aaronlisa - Reply and I'll give you a letter and you have to find five songs that start with that letter and post them to your journal. (I'm posting the songs, you don't have to...) Aaronlisa gave me the letter 'M'... with a little hinting on my part that it would be a good letter to pick..

1 - Motorcycle Emptiness - Manic Street Preachers.
I adore this song, just... love it. It's one of those songs which you can put on when you want to rock out but which has a much deeper import as well.

2 - Made Up Love Song # 43 - The Guillemots
I'm a fairly recent convert to this band, but they continue to amaze me. This song is just... perfect.

3 - Middle American Saturday Night - Kane
Seen Chris and Steve play this live twice now and it's just one of those toe-tapping songs that I adore.

4 - Modern Way of Letting Go - Idlewild
I actually like most of the other songs on the Remote Part album better than this one, but this one starts with an M... (Don't get me wrong, I love this song, if this is one of the weaker songs on the album that should give you a hint that you should go buy this album. Now. :)

5 - Michael - Franz Ferdinand
*love* this song sooooo much. It's the one song that will get me up on the dance floor no matter what mood I'm in. *g*

Whole project is right here

(getting bored waiting for all the files to upload, will edit with the full links as they're done - or go to the 'whole project' link, they'll be there.) - all done!

What does your handwriting say about YOU?

You plan ahead, and are interested in beauty, design, outward appearance, and symmetry.
You are a social person who likes to talk and meet others.
You are affectionate, passionate, expressive, and future-oriented.
You are not very reserved, impatient, self-confident and fond of action.
You enjoy life in your own way and do not depend on the opinions of others.

Yeah right. I should point out that I actually have a graphics tablet and pen so that kinda is my signature - not good enough to be accepted in a bank, but recognisably mine. (I don't sign my first name, just the initial, and my surname has seven letters. Yes, they're all in there. *g*)

Heh! Will work on the ficlets and graphics today- have a meeting this morning which I've no clue what the topic is, but after that I'll be writing!

By the way - the icon has no bearing on how I'm feeling today, I just like that picture of Sean/Simon... *g*

I should be feeling in the holiday spirit, right? I've done all the decorating in the office, I bought extra tinsel because we weren't festive enough (although, black and silver tinsel... cool but not all that festive really!) and I'm just not feeling it yet.

My shopping list is still as long as ever (although apparently my sister now doesn't want a present because she'd rather I spent the money on the kids) and I have one weekend left to go shopping. Am I just in a generally Bah, Humbug mood or is it taking longer to get into the holiday spirit for everyone this year?

So - most of these have been guessed and the ones that haven't aren't likely to so...

( the pairings meme answers )

So...invisionary asked for a Wallace or Wallace&Veronica icon; Anonymous #1 asked for VM ficlets - possibly Mac/Veronica if it works out; emeraldswan asked for a graphic and ficlet of my choice (I'm going to try to get that pairing you asked for a while back done Em!). So that leaves jgracio, d_tepes, bastardsnow, smhwpf, nemo_gravis and Anonymous #2 to put their requests in. I should get them all done before Christmas I think! Put your requests in now!

Okay, off to try to get into Kaylee's head for the 70 Questions for... Firefly/Serenity challenge. Speaking of... willowmina and emeraldswan? You guys really need to look into this...

The pairings meme as lifted from various folks on my flist. (I'm currently fighting the urge to do another character's 70 questions...) So this should be a distraction for a little while!

(And those of you looking at the clock thinking 'didn't she say she was going shopping first thing this morning?' Yeah, my replacement credit card hasn't arrived yet so... It'll be next week then. Joy.)

( O.T.P. (well, actually more than one.... )

ETA New layout - well, same layout, just different colours and a new banner and default icon - look! Sparkles! *g*
