__dtrain:

( she is always there to remind me that Jack Davenport has GREEEEEEN eyes, he does. (really, ridiculously massive beautiful image, with the cellphone) )

(I needed to make this post so I could sanely return to iconning. thank you for your time. please enjoy responsibly.)

Current Mood: guh
Current Music: Dir en Grey - Zan (Gauze)

my apologies to anyone who tried to contact me over IM yesterday; I was somewhere between girly-cramps and the 24-hour flu all day (not a good combination, believe me), and simply could not bring myself to interact with anyone. why I did not sign off of Trillian while I was flopping around and feigning unconsciousness is beyond me. o.O;

in other news, boat game is love, and I ♥ the person who uploaded Gauze. because Kyovoice is yummy :3

Current Mood: okay
Current Music: Dir en Grey - Raison D'etre (Gauze)

Things That Have Names:

my current phone - Milan; gender - female

Current Music: Maroon 5 - Harder to Breathe (Songs About Jane)

*bash* *bash* *bash*

ok so. I see this:

and my question is.

THE """ DOES WHAT?
what's it called. why is it there. why haven't I seen it in any syntax overviews??

[tonight's Fucking Retarded Question brought to you by my layout OCD. thx]

Current Mood: aggravated

I could not sit seriously down to write a serious romance under any other motive than to save my life; and if it were indispensible for me to keep it up and never relax into laughing at myself or other people, I am sure I should be hung before I had finished the first chapter. No, I must keep to my own style and go on in my own way; and though I may never succeed again in that, I am convinced that I should totally fail in any other.

Current Music: Knives and Bullets (And Cannons Too) - V for Vendetta OST

you know what, people need to stop posting things like THIS (NSFW photomanipped Nightwing scan -- unmauled version here).

seriously.

there's "charming disregard for usual convention", and then there's "no, see, you don't cross that line."

(p.s. this, like most anything I say, is very much open to discussion, as I am rather too lazy to qualify everything and definitely welcome other takes)

Current Mood: infuriated
Current Music: Dresden Dolls - Coin-Operated Boy [god that's ironic, huh?]

HENYWAY, I am way too angsty-wangsty-schmansty ... that was supposed to me "schmangsty" but "schmantsy" works too 'cause hey, I am antsy -- too a-w-s whatever to sleep, yay insomniaandschooltomorrowandwhereismyroommateomfg--

a musicky meme snatched from

drbillbongo.

These are the instructions:
Put your iTunes/Winamp/WMP on shuffle.
Say the following questions aloud, and press play.
Use the song title as the answer to the question.
NO CHEATING unless the songs you get don't make any damned sense.

O great ~~pool hall~~ playlist oracle, ( grant me guidance... )

and who knows, I may upload these tracks later. I seem to be on a sharing music kick. whee!

ETA:
Name a fandom you know I know and I'll tell you:
1. The first character/person I first fell in love with
2. The character/person I never expected to love as much as I do now
3. The character/person everyone else loves that I don't
4. The character/person I love that everyone else hates
5. The character/person I used to love but don't any longer
6. The character/person I would shag anytime
7. The character/person I'd want to be like
8. The character/person I'd slap
9. A pairing that I love
10. A pairing that I despise

Current Music: converting: the V for Vendetta soundtrack

YOU GUYS.

V for Vendetta made me cry like a tiny little stupid thing.

( there may be spoilers; there's not a lot of coherency. )

ALSO, THERE IS A SILENT HILL MOVIE. NO SRSLY. AND IT LOOKS TO BE VERY COOL, BUT I MAY JUST BE HAIRTRIGGER FANGIRL RIGHT NOW. duuuude~

-------
oh wait one more note for the people who may like to know this--
George? says "Miles Vorkosigan is the shit!" and thinks it's "fucking hot" that I have three signed Bujold books. hm, the things one stumbles across over coffee :)

Current Mood: anxious
Current Music: headache.

yes, spam. so but.

is it moderately unsettling to anyone else that the sound of canonfire drains the tension right out of me [1] better than any tranquil music?

[1]so long as I'm not watching the screen, that is, of course.

Current Mood: relaxed
Current Music: PotC - Pearl vs. Interceptor

I just wanted to share the fact that tonight Bruce and Kitten are out on the balcony dancing to Van Morrison's "Moondance" (click link to download).

( lyrics )

...they're adorable. (just don't tell Bruce I said so!)

[ETA: Kitten is wearing a sleeveless, plunging-neckline floor-length slinky-sparkly black dress with a slit up the side almost to where Bruce's hand curves on her her waist. Her hair's swept back in gentle waves, but a few curls have slipped free and they frame her face and seem to fascinate Bruce -- as though he isn't enthralled enough already! He's not as dressed up as she is -- no suitcoat, but his powder-blue dress shirt looks like magic under the stars and against his almost-black tie. Van Morrison's voice drifts through the open glass windows that double as doors -- she hadn't known Bruce Wayne kept an extensive record collection, but he's just full of surprises and mysteries, isn't he? She hopes none of the less convenient surprises show themselves tonight, because the night air would be much too chilly to bear without his strong, warm arms wrapped around her, holding her close enough that he can whisper the words to the song in her ear and tickle her neck as his puffs of breath move her errant locks. She sighs softly and is infinitely glad the sky above shines with starlight and moonlight, and nothing else at the moment.]

Current Mood: giddy
Current Music: Van Morrison - Moondance

LOOK! WHALES HAVE GRAMMAR!

so after somewhere between three and a million people tagged me to do this...
THE GUILTY MEME! meh.

Guilt	What is yours?	Explain yourself
Culinary:	bacon	it goes against all my self-imposed dietary guidelines – it's meat, it's ridiculously fatty and stereotypically unhealthy… but BLTs and bacon/eggs and/or bacon/cheese combinations make me happy
Literary:	'Animorphs' books	yes, I still go back and reread them. Ax is funny, dammit!
Audiovisual:	Batman, Justice League, Batman Beyond, Static Shock cartoons	I have to slink into the kids' section of the library to get them. >.>;
Musical:	Pokemon: The Movie soundtrack	you. say nothing.
Celebrity:	Keanu Reeves	every once in a while, I like to lie to myself and claim the boy can act. he can't. but he usually manages to find roles that don't really need it… and he's fucking pretty.

bla bla bla I'm going to ~~make someone else~~ pick 5 people at random off my flist to do this.

Current Mood: complacent
Current Music: Juanes - Dámelo (Mi sangre)

"Gillette. Mr. Sparrow has a dawn appointment with the gallows. I would hate for him to miss it," could creatively also mean "don't let the redcoats go off and shoot him." except whatever, the redcoats wouldn't shoot him, but there gets to be a point where, even with Sparrington, you're scraping the barrel for subtext.

also -- apparently when writing the mutiny sequence in Psalms I forgot that um, if it's windy enough for them to have to take in sail that severely, the deck's not gonna just stay nice and level. in fact, it's going to not-stay-level enough that I might want to toss in a phrase to that effect, or something, while writing. oops. ...live and learn.

back to the movie; let's see how far I get tonight :)

Current Mood: sleepy
Current Music: bla bla bla pirates

so, because I'm in a good mood, I have some treats for you all! hooray for beta yousendit.

Lynsey De Paul - Greatest Hits
--I was going to scan the jacket, which is full of lovely Lynsey photos and info, but the scanner/printer is still bleh and Marie and I are both too lazy to fix it. well actually, she's too computer-unsavvy, and I hate Dell so my opinion is the machine can go fuck itself. 89 MB .zip file of 21 .mp3 files--

also, for anyone wondering about my new "name"/journal title:
( it, like just about everything[1], is my sister's fault. )

[1]- by which I mean, just about everything which is not already

shrieking_ell's fault

Current Mood: loved
Current Music: Lynsey De Paul - Water (Greatest Hits)

so, it's that time of morning again, when Mel rolls around for the last time, jumps crankily out of bed, screams: "FUCKING HELL!", braids her hair in pigtails, and gives up on sleeping... yet again.

really, I'm getting so sick of this.

( in which I whine about sleep and not-sleep and shit like that )

anyone got any 'tricks of the trade' for getting to sleep? because man, I'm willing to try just about anything right now. except that beef thing, because that's just nasty.

yeah.

Jack has just explicitly informed me that Sparrow is not his real last name. and Jack probably isn't his real first name. we all suspected it, but now there's probably a PtT chapter following on its heels, or something.

yaygonk.
