Rules:
01. Anyone who looks at this entry has to post this meme and their current wallpaper at their LiveJournal.
02. Explain in five sentences why you're using that wallpaper!
03. Don't change your wallpaper before doing this! The point is to see what you had on!
I love Clive Anderson!
He is a balding punning no-necked sex god!
I made this wallpaper MYSELF and am very proud, not being technologically inclined usually (as evidenced by fact I made it the wrong size for my monitor and had to tile it!)
That's three sentences, and all that is required, I think :)

And man was it difficult - only ten?! Once I got started, I found dozens I wanted to use. Still, it was wonderful and nostalgic looking back through the old files.
• Post ten of any pictures currently on your hard drive that you think are self-expressive.
• No captions. It must be like we're speaking with images and we have to interpret your visual language just like we have to interpret your words.
• They must ALREADY be on your hard drive - no googling or flickr! They have to have been saved to your folders sometime in the past. They must be something you've saved there because it resonated with you for some reason.
• You do NOT have to answer any questions about any of your pictures if you don't want to. You can make them as mysterious as you like. Or you can explain them away as much as you like.

Seeking an inspiring word or two to fic with, I stumbled across a 'random sentence generator'. On the fourth go, it gave me THIS:
The muttering debugger poles the blown monster.
Call me childish if you will...but c'mon...
I LOL'd.
Anyone who wishes to write something involving this sentence will earn my undying gratitude.

Because it seems all the cool kids are doing it, and don't say I don't know how to tailgate a bandwagon and other mixed metaphors.
And because I'd like a repository for all my fanfiction, so I can just use this for the occcasional random RL rant or fandom wank.
And mainly because I can.
It will be entirely friends-locked, but please do come over and check it out, friend me and I'll very happily return the favour.

Hope to see you there! :D

I'd post some fic, instead, but chances are the cut won't work for that, either. I may try later.
Anyway, I'm off to see my family for Easter for a bit, hope everyone is well, catch y'all on the flip side. :D

and this being a very fun meme, I thought why not! :D
There have been so many fandoms over the years that this could take a while, but I'll just trust that most people don't know about most fandoms.
Name a fandom you know I know and I'll tell you:
1. The first character I first fell in love with
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now
3. The character everyone else loves that I don't
4. The character I love that everyone else hates
5. The character I used to love but don't any longer
6. The character I would shag any time
7. The character I'd want to be like
8. The character I'd slap
9. A pairing that I love
10. A pairing that I despise

Howdy.
Since I hardly ever use my journal these days, being sadly not a very frequent LJ flyer, and since I have a LOT of fic stagnating on my computer, and lastly since

Here begins a new era in my ficcing.
Finish the good, scrap the bad, try only to write things of substance.
It's time I started posting at communities where I could risk concrit or outright criticism.
Any suggestions on good ficcing practise, and practice, would be much appreciated.
/end of fic!wank.
You may return to your business.

Stolen from
sess_satan and
nutellahostage and another blatant excuse not to work!
1) Make a list of fifteen characters first, and keep it to yourself for the moment. (That way you're not leading the questions asked to fit the characters.)
2) Ask your flist to post questions in the comments.
For example:
'One, Nine and Fifteen are chosen by a prophecy to save the world from Four. Do they succeed?'
'Under what circumstances might Five and Seven fall in love?'
'Which character on the list would you most want on your side in a zombie invasion?'
'What would Two experience in Silent Hill?'
'What Pokémon would Eight have?'
'Write a drabble in which Sixteen and Nineteen FIGHT CRIME.' (...possibly not technically a question.)
3) After your flist has asked enough questions, round them up and answer them using the fifteen characters you selected beforehand, then post them.
So, like tight-trousered dancing!Tony “I’m askin’!” (ok, he wasn’t, but that joke was really more to amuse myself than anything else…as you were)

Well I should be working right this second, but this meme is way too fun! And doing it guarantees ( I hope!) that I have some replies to help break up the monotony of work this evening! *grin* And since I only have 28 LJ friends (I know, what a loser, right? ;)) expect some repetition for those of you feel I know well enough to comment on!
1. There are 30 questions.
2. Answer each question with one name.
3. Next to each number, write only the name of the person who fits.
4. Don't tell the questions to anyone who isn't doing the meme
Comment or PM your email to get the questions, but then you have to do it. :) Nobody be paranoid; these are good things! Or at the very least, meant fondly.
Hee, that was fun! :D

ETA: Unlocking this as my second recap of the 24th got a comment from someone I wasn't friends with *shock* which was awesome! Though I'm still at a loss as to how they found it! :)
Riiiight *cracks knuckles*
Practically all the ladies who were present at the Comedy Store on Sunday have written reports already, and stella, all-comes-flooding-back ones at that. However, I said I’d add my two cents, and finally have got a minute to sit down and write, so here it is – I apologise in advance for the length, incoherence and general mad squee-ness of what is to come.
And with those words: dun dun duuuuuun!...
Date: Sunday 17th August, 2008.
Weather: Sunshine and showers (so what’s new?)
Destination:
Colleagues: Nutellahostage, SessSatan, Annabel1984, Athenamsp, liketostopthen, Indybaggins, Astareal02
Mission: To infiltrate the Comedy Store and manage not to die of laughter for two hours while under the intense comedic skills of Steve Frost, Josie Lawrence, Steve Edis, Andy Stuart, Neil Mullarky and Greg Proops.
And the best part of all..?
I get to do it all again on Sunday! :D
(Pictures pending, watch this space.)

This is all.
*dies of happiness*
Ok this is not all, because I have to point out how Chip and Jeff really GO for it - it sounds and looks paaaainful (tho in the best possible way! ;) ) whereas Greg - not so much. Odd, I'd've thought Greg would enjoy a little ass-slapping as much as the next guy...tho apparently not, perhaps because the next guy was Jeff...?

Aside from how wonderfully young and cute they all look, being the Greg/Clive OTPer that I am, I squeebled at length over Clive's hand around Greg's arm...he could have put in manfully on the shoulder, but no! (and quiet, all you people shouting that they were posed like that by the photographer! My journal, my (heh) fantasies! :P)
So because I have more time on my hands than strictly wise, I made this. Glory at its crap cuteness! (used Paint and Photoplus - neither fabulous obv, but the best I could come up with!)
Hoorah! :D *dances away singing 'Greg and Clive, sitting in a tree, K.I.S.S.I.N.G!!'*

Aka, got my ticket to see Greg Proops and the Comedy Store Players on Sunday 17th August 2008! I could not BE more excited!!!!
Caps and exclamation marks all the way!
On a rather unrelated note, I'm crazy-busy at the moment with MA dissertation work I should have done long ago, so sorry if anyone has missed my sparkling wit and conversation around the place. RL does just get in the WAY sometimes, eh?
Och weel, I must go to bed and dream sweet dreams of the ProopMeister. *grin*
I post this little piece of frivolity to celebrate:

1. http://en.wikipedia.org.wiki/Special:Ran
The first article title is the name of your band.
2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interestin
The third picture, nomatter what it is, will be your album cover.
4. Use your graphics program of choice to throw them together, and post it in your own journal.
(I don't know why I can only make the first come out as a link link! Stupid LJ! Or more likely stupid me!)
It came out pretty well, if I do say so myself! But then I had an awesome image and album title to work with. Not quite so sure about the band name...I think we may go through some 'artistic differences' before we settle on Hockey Federation of the Islamic Republic of Iran. It's just a little too long and potentially open to political accusations...
