The top 5 meme
Comment with one or more topics (ie. favorite singers, songs that make you cry, overrated designers) and I'll make a top five list for the subject.

I can never resist a good list-making opportunity.

There's a tie between slanketeering  and goodnightgeezer , which were my two favourites too, argh! Please help!

Apparently I have more time than I thought. SO -

I got into a couple of elite icon comms over the weekend, suggesting that I might be a bit better at this Making Things malarky than I thought.  With this rather lovely revelation I have decided to start an actual icon community but I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO CALL IT, HELP.

Poll #1523308 What the frack do I call it?!
Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: All, participants: 11

what? what? WHAT?

Thank you muchly for your time!
K, now I really need to get dressed.

Oh, The Daily Mail. What would our country be without you.

Lets all fantasize about that for a moment.

( Oh god, then there's this: )

Right, 'scuse me, I have to go get dressed for uni and shit.

Because memes are about fifty times better than packing for home:

( The icon one )

Okay, that wasted 15 minutes.
I think the....um, bookshelves need rearranging. Now. Yes.

This is too brilliant not to share.

Absurdist Protest Signs

Westboro Baptist Church showed up to protest in front of Twitter’s San Francisco office on Thursday, but found themselves severely outnumbered by a crowd of absurdist pranksters. WBC’s hate-promoting signs were answered by multiple signs of randomness, nonsensical yelling, and even a unicorn. A portable stereo blared Lady GaGa, while press and people passing by ignored the WBC signs and took pictures and videos of the more entertaining signs. I was also there and turned on the video camera while holding my sign.


( MOAR FUNNY )

I am fully prepared to stick with Caprica, but  ( ...... )

I'm attempting to make my way through An Ideal Husband  on audiobook. How am I supposed to concentrate on the story when Yeardley Smith aka Lisa Simpson is playing Mabel Chiltern?

"Gertrude won't let me wear anything but pearls, and I am thoroughly sick of pearls. They make one look so plain, so good, and so intellectual."

......I mean, COME ON.

Skips, innit.

Because I have a lot of writers, fanartists, fanmixers and betas on my flist:


More Information

15k on an AU fic for the writers. Two bits of art (can be music mixes) for the artists. Beta'ing and general encouragement also needed. Sooooo.......anyone interested?

I signed up for art, cheerleading and beta'ing. Pretty sure I'll regret the latter, but, eh. Thanks to slartibartfast for pointing it out.

nrrgh urrgh, i want to do music mixes too i haven't done anything fandom-related for ages and I miss it and I'm bored and I don't even know what the internet is for anymore it's been that long since I last used it properly when did i turn into an adult woe.

Um. I'm offering music mixes!...? because it's obvious that I'm not going to sleep any time soon and nobody seems to be on msn. Eight seems to be the standard. I can offer anything in the following fandoms (pairings, themes, general show mixes, whatevz):

Dollhouse
Being Human
Battlestar Galactica
True Blood
Harry Potter (KEEP THE FAITH)
Mad Men
Supernatural
Life On Mars/Ashes to Ashes


I promise to be prompt for once. Oh, go on. I'm so booooooooringed!

So rhye  is posting her lastfm weekly charts in her lj and I thought, "hey, I should totally do that, I love music I do".  Only when I go to make the necessary screen-cap I see this:
Oh god, boys. Sometimes I forget just how awesomely flailworthy you are.
oh, oh. I just realised that Nick is there in the corner on his own, WAIL.

- Tutted in X supermarket because "it's not even bloody Halloween!"
- Had the all important conversation on whether it's worth making a Christmas cake or not this year
- Had an advent Calendar bought for me despite definitely being too old now because "well, Grandma's so used to buying them for you..."
- *edit* Squeed at or goaded bodgers_badger about his MS paint advent calendar
- Seen the Coca Cola advert
- Heard Mariah Carey's All I Want For Christmas Is You in a shop and struggled with my inner muso over whether I'm allowed to sing along or not
- Got really anxious as Eastenders' storylines gear up for the annual Wrecking of My Favourite Character's Lives
- Had Carol singers
- Witnessed an abuse of fake snow spray
- Walked through the neighbourhood at night and pondered someone's electricity bill
- Seen a Christmas special of something. Charlie, I am looking at you.


In conclusion: It's too soon to tell.


I love that, despite it being 15 years since I last believed in elves and Santa's grotto, the adult world still holds something for me to get excited about.

This. THIS.
I very much resemble my icon right now.

Tiny things that make me happy:

I'm absolutely desperate to make an update but I haven't the foggiest idea what to talk about.

.....no, seriously, what.

In slight reference to this post, can I just say that, quite possibly, Charmelia >> Chasleyne.

Here's a strange request.

Is anyone aware of an actor, sportsman or any other variant of celebrity that could pass as a young Boris Johnson?

In case you're not British, or you're from London and have successfully managed to install a hefty mental block, here is what Boris Johnson looks like:









He needs to be not so fat. And somewhere between 15 and 25, ish. A footballer would do. Really, it's the shock of white-blonde hair and the perpetually confused look that I'm after.

Set to work, minions!
Um, I mean please help if you can. Thank you!

Dear Britney,

What the hell,

Love your increasingly uncomfortable fan, Karis.

Gay Penguins Hatch And Raise A Penguin Baby
By Meredith Woerner, 1:20 PM on Wed Jun 3 2009, 3,223 views


Sexual experimentation on the part of German penguins has concluded with one happy couple, and their adopted chick. Let the gay penguins of the world be an example to the rest of you.

In 2005 the German zoo attempted to test sexual orientation of homosexual penguins. According to the BBC, "Three pairs of male penguins had been seen attempting to mate with each other and trying to hatch offspring from stones." The zoo tried to fly in female penguins to get the males to mate with them, but gay rights activists protested, and the zoo decided to see if the male penguins really could make a family on their own.

So the zoo went ahead and gave the aquatic birds an abandoned egg to rear:

"Z and Vielpunkt, both males, gladly accepted their 'Easter gift' and got straight down to raising it," said a zoo statement.

Fast forward to today, and you have a healthy and happy baby chick ready for its own sitcom (I'm going to call it, Two And A Half Penguins.)

The fathers have been behaving, "just as you would expect a heterosexual couple to do. The two happy fathers spend their days attentively protecting, caring for and feeding their adopted offspring."

Penguins, the forward thinking socially embracing animals of tomorrow.


The only way this story could be more relevant to my interests is if one of them pulled a cake from behind its flipper.
