My life, my death, my choice. - Terry Pratchett on assisted death.

And i'm wondering why some people fight so hard against such a simple and rational solution.

They're trying to kill me with these auctions, aren't they? I mean, look at this: stuff that is any fan's dream. War & Peace! Leather Jacket! Dog Tags! Not to mention all of the other really cool stuff like snakeheads, door panels, crystals, costumes. And i've been wanting something like this for a while now for my simple silver laptop, cause then it would look like this:


I'm totally making my own using that pic for reference.

I'm just worried that if they are selling this stuff it means they're taking the sets apart, which means no more movies. :(

How do you write an email to a teacher? How do you keep it formal enough but not too casual either and say "hey could i get those courses please?"

I will not. No matter how awesomely cool it is. Not even a wraith stunner. I need my money for other stuff. Nope, not even the DHD schematics. Definitely not a piece of the Stargate. *must refrain*

But damn if it's not incredibly hard.

Dear college idiots administrators,

Please let us know when we have to choose our specialties a few eeks before we have to choose. Three days is not enough time to make a decision that will influence the rest of your life, especially not when we thought we had another semester before we needed to make this decision.

Also, your decision makes no sense. Everybody will have the exact same courses next semester. We get separate courses only next year. WTF?

No love,
Me

On an epic scale of epic disasters, that was pretty damn epic. I told my mom. So maybe over the phone wasn't the best idea ever, but i needed to tell her. I needed to get it off my chest. I have a feeling she would have found out anyway.

Somehow, i can't seem to find the words to tell her how i feel about the whole things. All of my well constructed mind monologues? Not coming out.

*sigh* I hope she doesn't end up hating me.

I have a feeling i need to warn my dad on just how mad mom will be when he gets home.

1. Reply to this post with 'ICONS!', and I will pick five of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!

ETA: WTF LJ? Where did the rest of my beautiful post go?!??! The first part is a reconstruction of the eaten original post. Damn you LJ!

[info]anuna_81 </b></span>  chose these icons:



This is my SGA icon. I love the colouring and I love the design of city itself. That's why I chose this icon. I also love the fact that it's home for all of the characters, hence the keyword "Home".  I'll use this icon on SG related posts and posts in which I talk about my home.



This is my default icon. My username around the interwebs is usually blackpanther or a_blackpanther.  This icon was made for me by [info]fireferal </b></span> when I first decided to use this username. So I probably have this icon since 2003 or something. I love the posture of the animal in the pic: elegant, sleek, regal. I also love the faint lighting from the moon. I've thought about changing this icon, but I could never bring myself to.



This is one of my Criminal Minds icons (somehow, most of my icons seem to be CM icons). I chose it because I love the original scene the screencaps are from. It's a long continuous shot of the team eating and drinking and joking at a round table, and if I remember correctly it is completely silent (there are no actual lines, just music). It just really brings a sense of happiness and family. You very rarely get to see the characters smile in this show, especially Hotch (the first one on the right). He's got a beautiful smile. I’ll use it on CM stuff or when I talk about something interesting that makes me think “that’s funny”.



I got this icon two years ago when I took over crimialxminds. I got it from the previous owner because I needed one. I like it because it’s colourful and pretty and it draws attention. I’ll use it when posting something modly on [info]criminalxminds </span> or [info]hotch_prentiss </b></span>. I'm thinking of getting another one, maybe one of Hotch doing his patented death glare. But I haven't found the right screen cap yet.



Meet Marvin. He's the clinically depressed robot from The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy. He's snarky, mean, and complains all the time, and he's hilarious. I love all things sci-fi and, even though most fans of the book hate the movie, I loved the movie. It's whimsical, funny and I love how they portrayed Marvin and their interpretation of the actual "Guide to the Galaxy". I'll use it either when I really am down or when I’m being geeky or ironic about something.  "I hate my life" is Marvin's catchphrase.

Today i learned that wary and weary are not the same thing. Actually i had no idea wary was a word, and just thought weary had both meanings. How did i pass that English proficiency exam?!

Wow!  
You might have seen this a couple of days ago when it was first posted, but i only saw it today. And it's amazing. It's beautiful and interesting and you have to wonder just how nature manages to create so many fantastic and adaptable creatures. Consider my mind blown.

Watch the clip here (and read the article)

Sorry i can't imbed it.

I made some more wallpapers. Well, 5 versions of the same wallpaper. And yes, using the same texture as the sparky wall. It's just a really fantastic texture. All wp are 1024x764. Let me know if you want another size. Does anyone on my flist even watch Farscape?





farscape farscape
farscape farscape

The lovely [info]anuna_81 wished for Sparky art, and she prompted "devotion", and i was inspired and came up with this:






SGA,SPARKY

1024x768
1280x1024

Hope you like it! It's two screen sizes, if anyone needs another screen size or format let me know. Also, requests are welcome.

I think i've lost my mind, but i suddenly want to see a remake of Pride & Prejudice with Claudia Black and Ben Browder in the main roles. I really like the other adaptations but the leads didn't have too much chemistry. I like Keira Knightley's Elizabeth best and Colin Firth's Darcy, even though he isn't just quite right either. And, from the book that's what they're supposed to have: chemistry.

I was also reminded why i don't read fanfiction for books (and rarely for movies). It's because the canon is rather short and and not quite so fluid as TV shows and even little changes make the original pointless. If Elizabeth was forced to marry Darcy, it's no longer P & P, it's a whole other story with characters of the same name.

Using only four words, tell me what you would say to me if we woke up in a jail together.

Then copy and paste this into your own Livejournal and see what responses you get.

Stolen from [info]anuna_81 . Beacuse it's totally hilarious.

As you may or may not know, i suck at making icons. I hate making icons. They're just so tiny. How do you fit anything in 100x100px? However that's no reason not try to make them. Recent attempts have been a bit more successful. So i want to try again. I wnat to make some text-only icons. So i'm asking for short text, sayings, quotes and stuff that could fit into an icon. Prompt me anything. Also feel free to request something with a specific image, or banners or walls (not just text).

See these prompts right here? One of them is mine. So, dear fanfic writers on my f-list, please go write fics these. I'll make my day.

Also, HAPPY THANKSGIVING US friends. Hope you're having fun.

I'm a complete and utter idiot. Of course i had to make changes to the comm's layout and i didn't pay attention. Of course i've ended up losing my layout.

I wanted to change it anyway, but this is a bit ridiculous.
