But you know I know when it's a dream

Today I was taking screencaps from The Thick of It (which, by the way, is about as easy as trying to thread a needle when drunk), when something caught my eye. Slightly relevent to (some of) our interests.

( Cut because the image might appear bigger than I first thought and I don't want to mess up everyone's friend's page. )

So I wanted to do a silly, lighthearted post.

I bring you Star Trek GIFs that I've stolen collected on my travels across the web. Purely for the lulz.

( Still boldly splitting infinitives )

I have spent a great deal of time over the past two days staring at my computer screen, but I've finally managed to find a LJ layout that I don't hate. Hooray! I hated the old layout, I could never see what I was typing in the comments boxes, boo! Plus, the colours were off so I couldn't see some text. So far so good with this layout though.

Then I decided while I was on a roll I'd revamp all of my other journals as well. It gave me a headache, but at least they all look pretty now.

I also finally managed to sort out all of my Star Trek icons. 102 of them to be precise *phew* (and those were just the ones that were any good). I just make icons when I have a spare few minutes between other things, then they build up and build up. I really do need to be more organised about this stuff.

Anyway, blithing much? My Star Trek icons can be located HERE and HERE

And that's it. Yes. Bye. :D

You can tell can't you, that I'm wasting time? Yeah, but at least you get pretty pictures out of it.

This is my pic spam, going a little way to explaining why I have an almost unconditional love for Star Trek: The Original Series

There is an obvious bias (mainly focussed on the OT3) and I would apologise for it, but I'm not the least bit sorry. I am unashamed! XD

This is not the end of it, either...sorry.

( With evidence of unnecessary touching )

1.
Ashes to Ashes finished. I know it needed to be brought to a conclusion, it couldn’t go on forever but still I feel bereft. What am I going to do without it? I mean, it was a bit rough on my feminist side Gene Hunt...back seat of the Quattro...I think so, but I loved it so much. *sniffle*

2.
Lost also finished. About bloody time. And on that note...what? I know I haven’t really been paying attention for like, a while now, but still...was it just me or did it answer practically nothing? I know a little ambiguity is intriguing (you’re talking to a fan of The Prisoner) but this...no. Bah. I may have to re-watch the whole thing from beginning to end when I have time.

3.
I realised today that my Government, the ACTUAL one that runs my country RIGHT NOW, in my head goes a little like this:

David Cameron = Urquhart
George Osborne = Stamper
Nick Clegg = Sarah

Complete with weird triangular relationship and jealousy issues.

OMG people, I should not be thinking like this about important real life stuff! I blame uk_lolitics. It is preventing me from taking this seriously. Plus the BBC keeps describing David Cameron and Nick Clegg as a couple! It’s driving me goddamn crazy! It makes me mad because I would love it if I didn’t dislike Cameron so very, very much. Cameron/Osborne all the way! (That way I dislike both the people in the ship equally).

4.
I have been sort of fic writing. The thing is, we have the wedding of the century going on here at the moment (my friend would not have me describe it any other way), so I’ve been busy with real life...but this is good, happy real life so I’m down with that.

5.
I bought some cowboy boots. They’re very sexy but, to paraphrase Bill Maher: ‘there are no cowboys, I’m wearing a costume!’

6.
The weather has been very hot here. You know how bad we were during the cold weather? Well, we’re not very good in the heat either.

7.
Beyond the fic prompts you guys gave me I also have more Star Trek fic in my head; an AU of This Side of Paradise where they actually stay on the planet with the HIGHLY SUGGESTIVE plant life and another, as yet directionless, S/Mc fic (which at the moment consists of random bits of smut that need shaping into some sort of story).


TL;DR? I get too emotionally invested in TV, I’m starting to view my country’s politics as a fandom, I have no style, and I’ve been writing porn.

In reply to my request for prompts nemo_everbeing asked for M*A*S*H fic. Specifically for Hawkeye/Mulcahy. Nemo is clearly made of win!

If I haven't written for a fandom I like to start off small, practice a bit. I have something larger planned, but this is just a little, itty bitty ficlet. An appetiser, if I'm allowed to be pretentious for a moment.

Title: And I Can Hear God Laugh
Fandom: M*A*S*H
Pairing: Hawkeye/Mulcahy
Rating: I dunno...nothing graphic here.
Summary: Hawkeye gets the feeling that somebody up there is having a bit of fun at his expense.
Author's Note: Yeah, one of these guys is a Roman Catholic Priest. If you're going to be offended by it, please don't read it. Thank you.

( I’ve often had the feeling that my life is just a tragi-comedy... )

Okay, so I did finally get up the nerve to post it.

Due to frustration and election blues it really isn't the fluffy fic I wanted it to be. Maybe next time.

I've found that I love writing for Star Trek though!

Over at my oft neglected fanfiction journal.

There was discussion of fluffy illness fic, remember? My first draft is done but it isn't what I wanted. I'm now beginning to angst over it, which makes the writing much less fluffy, which in turn causes more angst. I'm trapped in a big ol' vicious circle. I really need to learn not to be an uptight pain in the arse when it comes to writing, because in all other aspects of life I'm actually rather mellow and relaxed. XD

Do you also remember me talking about drabbles? I wrote some. They're Star Trek drabbles. I'm not sold on them as drabbles but I like the premise of some of them, so I might develop them later on when I have time. There were more, but these were the only ones I didn't completely hate. (I'm posting them basically because I have nothing left to do for the rest of the day XD)

( S/Mc is SO MUCH FUN to write )

I'm supposed to be back doing real life stuff and not hanging around here posting stuff. But I really did mean to post this like, last year some time.

I stumbled upon these whilst tidying up (heh heh, "tidy oop"...sorry, Producers quote) my hard drive.

For those of us who squeed like crazy over this cute little show.  CHEBURASHKA!

              



There really aren't enough to warrant a post in my icon journal.

Not bad though, considering the really crappy pics I had to work with. If anyone knows where I could get better quality caps please let me know.

D'aww, how cute is this show?

In two parts because Livejournal limits are the bane of my existence.

Anywho, here's a meme that I did before my hiatus and then forgot to post. I had to pick my favourite icons and write about them. I thought I'd post it now because it combines two things I love. Icons and my own fannish opinions XD
