Woop!

Yeah, I know, this is turning into the journal of a thousand memes. But it's the holidays, and I'm bored. Besides, they're fun :D.

You know how sometimes people on your friends list post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.

Please copy the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out.

( Basics Meme )

1. Take a picture of your bag
2. Now dump everything out and neatly adjust them, and take a picture (no matter how embarrassing)
3. Talk about the items inside. Detail.

Stolen from imouto. I always thought this meme looked fun.

This is my bag. Why yes my camera fails.



That silver thing is the brand name. It says 'Pronta Moda'. This bag cost nearly $100NZD, which is kind of a lot, so I guess it's an important brand? I dunno. It's from Farmers Department Store. I brought it because it is GINORMOUS (well, it was a gift from Mum, but nevermind that - I like to pretend I'm not a poor student who can actually afford $100 bags). I usually use it for Uni stuff, but as it's the holidays...

Oh, and that's my bedspread and some blankets in the background. Also, my curtains, which really do not match, but I was really keen on purple and yellow when I was twelve - the bedspread is new (from this year).

( HERE BE MONSTERS. AND A SHITLOAD OF RECEIPTS, DAMN I NEED TO CLEAN OUT MY BAG MORE OFTEN )

Lol, if you want me to ask you questions, go ask on the other post for this meme :DDDD

( Interview Meme )

:D

( Interview Meme )

Um, I'm really bored and also uninspired, so here, have some fic snippets. They are unbeta'd, so yeah.

This is the first scene from my xover_exchange fic. The prompt is Star Trek/Doctor Who: The Doctor lands on the Enterprise. I've kind of expanded it waaay beyond the prompt, but we'll get to the Enterprise bits later. This is the first scene.

( This Inner Time, G, gen )

This is from the fic I was going to write for Star Trek Big Bang, which I never finished. It doesn't actually have a title yet. Basically, it's genderswap (Kirk gets turned into a girl) by some mysterious force. I don't actually have much written, so here, have the first scene. Eventually it'll be Spock/Kirk.

( Untitled girl!Kirk fic, this snippet G, Spock/Kirk (eventually )

Lol, I think I have a thing for genderswap. This is Star Trek RPS, and will probably part of a series which in my head is titled "Weird Shit That Happens to the Star Trek Cast". This is a bit from the 'Zach gets turned into a girl' part.

( This document is literally titled 'Zach is a girl', PG, eventual Zach/Chris )

And the last thing I'm actively working on atm, a Star Trek RPS about how Zach and Chris secretly hate each other and this bromance thing is all a big farce. Based on the extremely scripted answers for the promo tour interviews (Seriously, you can only say "You can't manufacture that kind of chemistry" so many times).

( This one also has no title yet, Zach/Chris, this snippet is PG )

Suggestions? Comments? Offers to beta-read on the momentous occasion that I actually finish something?

OMG.

Spoilers under the cut, obvs.

( Heroes )

DOCTOR WHO WAS AWESOME YOU GUYS OMG.

That is all.

YOU GUYS.

DOCTOR WHO - WATERS OF MARS.

WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD TODAY (MAYBE EVEN RIGHT NOW).

I AM SO EXCITED!!

OH HAI THERE NEW FRIENDS!

that is all i have to say currently.

next week will hopefully see a post of links, in my efforts to convert...er, educate y'all in my various fandoms that you may not be aware of. it will also contain all those links i owe you, pylarwoman.

Star Trek: the fandom that gives you the most, er, new perspectives on pop songs.

Seriously. I will never think of Jai Ho (the Pussycat Dolls version), Work It Out by Beyonce, Hot Mess by Cobra Starship, and Pokerface by Lady Gaga the same way ever again.

this is shocking. two posts in two days.

but anyway.

talk to me about zachary quinto/matthew gray gubler rps. would it not be a beautiful thing? they could make insane movies together. no. i don't know. anyway. as you were.

i just added 'bromance' and 'scenester' to the microsoft word dictionary. such is my life.

ETA: now with added douchebags.

Because I'm really bored, here, have my as-I-watched thoughts on Merlin.

 

( spoiler cut obvs )</div>

 </div> 

Would anyone on my flist be keen to beta read a Bring It On! Merlin AU I am writing for reel merlin? It needs to be done by Friday or Saturday. You don't need any knowledge of the show - I'm more worried about whether it's actually coherent.

the more i listen to change by the young veins and new perspective by panic! at the disco, the more i feel that my tin-hat-slash-tinted-glasses theory that the reason panic broke up was because of ryan and brendon's epic break up (in the romantic sense obvs, not in the creative sense (which is the offical version))is true. those songs have some of the bitchiest lyrics i've ever seen. man.
