highrise living for a joke like me

I really will do a life-update post soon, but it will be FULL OF RAGE, so I'm waiting. Have a meme instead:

- Reply to this post with the phrase I LOVED YOU ACROSS TIME and I will pick six of your icons.
- Make a post (including this info) and talk about the icons I chose.
- Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
- This will create a never ending cycle of icon glee.

Or, pick some more of my icons and ask me to talk about them. I love talking about my icons!

Ah, the Ori, the pretty pathetic villains of seasons 9 and 10 of Stargate SG-1. I love mash-up icons, and could not resist one. I use it for Stargate-related stuff, especially not-as-shippy fic.


keywords: cheap and easy

Ramen is awesome. And I am cheap and easy. ;) Also--no lie--when I was little my mom used to say that my future boyfriends would love me because I'd be a cheap date: "You don't need to buy me diamonds, honey, just buy me books."


keywords: CHA
icon by: chiss
CHA = charisma in Dungeons and Dragons and other such games. It's useful to have, man. This is one of my two optimistic political icons, though I haven't been talking politics much recently.


keywords: dead
icon by: unknown
One of my (many) favorite quotes from Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead. I should use it more often, especially when my comment is "*dies and is ded*". :D

I <3 Wikipedia. That is all. If you don't get the reference, you lose your geek card.

Despite my baking prowess, I used to be terrified of cracking eggs. I still don't like doing it, but at least I've stopped freaking out when they explode and get all over my hands.

Your turn!

Took triannamaxwell out to see the DC Gurly Show (queer-centric burlesque) at Apex last night, which was a blast. A was performing, which is the first time I've seen her do burlesque, and the whole show was very good (sometimes, you get one that's kind of dull, or out-and-out bad, but everyone was great this time). We also got to chat with a great bartender, so that was fun, too. We were going to run past C's 21st birthday soiree, but the bar they were at had closed by the time we left Apex, and we had no plans to drive out to College Park at 2a to hang out with drunk people. C, I'll make it up to you!

Today, I intend to do two things: write at least 5000 words, and update my icons. The former is pretty straightforward; I think I've figured out the plot goal of Act II, so now I can write towards it. The latter is pretty much silly. Yes, I'm adding 37 new icons, but I'm doing more than that. My personal borderline-OCD is kicked off by things being out of alphabetical order, so I'm deleting all my icons and reuploading them in alpha order. LJ staff people, if you happen to be skimming this, could you add some function that will allow for a reordering of one's icons that doesn't require deleting everything and uploading them in the order you want? Thanks!

We're starting today's wordcount here:


I'm leaving the target at 16000, because really that's the goal for the whole act. Plus, I should be winding up somewhere near there, anyway.

Expect updates over the course of the day.

( 12 icons and 4 bases under the cut )

The first Atlantis Sunday went up in sgboys_daily. You Stargate types, join the comm and help us pimp it out! Please?

Oh, and GIP. I have Atlantis icons now.

That is all.

Crocuses make me happy. So, crocus-y icons.

Today, I voted in the primary election. Kinda anti-climactic, especially after spending almost half an hour going over the voting section of the Beacon to read each candidate's opinions on stuff and taking notes on who I was going to vote for. Dude, why to I have to vote for the Register of Wills, anyway? The biggest problem was that all the candidates were saying basically the same thing (except for the Board of Ed people, none of whom sounded good for the job). Yay, democracy.

In other news, I revamped and reloaded all my icons, so about half of them are new, and they're all in alpha-order (the haphazard order eljay gives them makes me twitch). My OCD triumphs again!

( Icon Meme )

Is a therapy session good or bad when you spend the whole time crying? The upside, certainly, is that she agrees with me, so that means I'm not totally nuts. (Don't even think it.)

superboner will, in fact, be here this weekend, though I have two bathrooms to wash tomorrow to make sure she's got somewhere to stay. Ah, the things I do for the people I like.

Oh, and just need to get these out: ( Whoa, TMI )

Your regularly-scheduled selection of icons will return on Monday, after I do a revamp. I want to mourn just a little longer.

So, as I've been hinting for a bit, I'll be leaving on the Trip to the Great White North later this afternoon. I'll be gone until next Sunday (I'm missing two Stargate episodes, oh noes!), but I'll still have limited 'net access. I'll leave yous all with a few links.

The batch of queer icons I put up this morning are gratifyingly popular.

A short video about gay storks raising chicks; take that, New York State.

Think the Pluto debate is silly? satire pokes even more fun, but at astronomers and opponents of gay marriage.

And a last thought from my calendar:

The entire universe is the single eye of a monk. Where will you go to defecate? ~ Hsueh-Feng

If you can figure out what that means, you get a cookie.
