Bits 'n' bobs...

First of all a Happy Belated Birthday to [livejournal.com profile] spikewriter: The writer who got me hooked on fanfic. Sorry about the lateness, but I'm forever behind these days...

And a little pimp: [livejournal.com profile] awmp posted icons and they're just amazingly fabulous! I mean just look at the one I'm using! *loves*

RL is swamping me at the moment - it's Little Miss M's birthday on Sunday and she's having a sleepover Friday/Saturday, so that should keep me nicely busy! Oh and I think the washing machine is broken... Good thing that we've got plenty of alcohol in the house!

I've also got fic and a post about AtS that I'll post once I've stopped hating rich text with quite the fiery passion it inspired in me today. I might end up doing the HTML manually, even though it takes *so* much longer, because at least I know where I am. *glowers*

And I've got to run... Oh - I had a really bizarre and fascinating dream about Jasmine last night. Nothing to add to that really, just felt like spamming you!

ETA: This is very funny: The Complex and Terrifying Reality of Star Wars Fandom, because there are a lot of general truths about any fandom...

That Star Wars thing was great. I think I can apply a similar argument to every single one of my fandoms. Love the idea, hate the execution.

What does the text on your Anya icon mean?

No, I had never read that but now I did and it was enjoyed!!

And I've seen Dannie Darko but I don't remember most of it. Heh. But I recall a rabbit so... yeah.

These two facts go together so well! It's funny, that, isn't it?

:Blinks:

Thanks to me? I didn't even mention it until after the event. Does Jonathan Ross get repeated or something?

Meeep. Feed the alcohol to the kids and maybe they'll sleep through :)

That icon is superb. As is the Star Wars thing - forwarding to my Star Wars RPGer brother. Course it's not true for us; we love Joss, the Wash-murdering bastard.

Gina Torres Jasmine, or the little girl on last night's Torchwood? Or the flower?

I'm still trying to work out how to get LJ user links to appear within a paragraph like you did - every time I try, the link wants to appear in a separate paragraph by itself...

aww, thanks for the pimp!

Oh and I think the washing machine is broken...
oh, mine was broke a couple of weeks ago. it was hell. you have all my sympathy and really, it's a good thing to have enough alcohol in the house in this case ;)

I'd go through all the icons one by one and say why I like them
heee, don't make me blush!

I've spent three weeks driving to my parents on the weekends to do my laundry
uhm, after a very short time I remembered that the boyfriend of my bestfriend is actually a trained mechanic for washing machines *head desk*
and he repaired it for a pizza ;)

The Star Wars thing was very funny. And although I'd already snagged several of awmp's icons I'd missed the DD reference of that icon (I actually thought Anya had said something like that to Xander about how long they'd been dating).

[identity profile] zanthinegirl.livejournal.com 2006-11-13 10:51 pm (UTC)(link)
The Star Wars thing was just too funny. I had to forward it to several friends!

And you're right about [livejournal.com profile] awmp's icons. I snagged this one yesterday!

Hope you get you washer fixed soon...

Finally, someone understands!

The Star Wars thing was hilarious, btw, and could probably be equally applied to many other fandoms.

Me too. I suppose those blokes are the fandom equivalent of Grumpy Old Men?
