* 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.

My dragons have a distressing habit of not gendering until they grow up, which makes it difficult to get rid of the ones I don't want.

Rules   Round 1 Sign-ups

This has hit me hard. Everytime I try to process it I start to fall apart. Michael Jackson, was one of my very first celebrity crushes and one of my first musical obsessions. I'll be posting a tribute to Michael on his birthday, August 29th.

Now I have to go make award banners for stargate_stills. Hopefully that will keep me busy for awhile, so I don't dissolve into tears.

I went to one of our local city fairs on Friday night to see Tim Sigler perform.  It rained for about a half hour before the show, but I got a couple cool pictures of a rainbow. I'll try to get the pictures uploaded and post them. I'm going to try to see Bret Michaels on July 5th, he'll be doing a concert at the Taste of Minnesota.

The trip to Vegas next weekend has been called off. We're thinking about going in the fall if Mel B rejoins the cast of Peepshow.

I missed Merlin tonight because I didn't realize it was on. *sigh* I really wanted to see it. My incredibly slow dial-up internet connection doesn't let me download large files, so I guess I'll have to wait until I can get it on DVD.

I have season 5 of SGA on pre-order so I should get it next week. YAY! I'll finally be able to see it all. I watched the mini-marathon the sci-fi channel did on the 12th, so I've seen the first 8 episodes. I've put season 3 of BSG on my Netflix queue, so I can start getting caught up with that.

I think I may have over extended myself with all the icons I had due this week. The last few sets have all been due so close together. They'll be further apart from now on (until October 9th). Next up is Ringo Starr on July 7th, and then I'll post all the Stargate icons I've been making for stargate_stills . I'm trying to decide if I want to do stargate20in20  again next month too. Voting for round 2 is up now: Themes, Category and Artist's Choice.

My dad and my brother have a new hobby store. The kind that sells remote controlled cars, trucks and planes.

Since Yahoo is closing Geocities soon I figured I should take this page off my website and put it here.

The Honor Harrington book series by David Weber is a Science Fiction series set in the future.

Having made him look a fool, she's been exiled to Basilisk Station in disgrace and set up for ruin by a superior who hates her. Her demoralized crew blames her for their ship's humiliating posting to an out-of-the-way picket station. The aborigines of the system's only habitable planet are smoking homicide-inducing hallucinogens. Parliament isn't sure it wants to keep the place; the major local industry is smuggling; the merchant cartels want her head; the star-conquering, so-called "Republic" of Haven is Up To Something; and Honor Harrington has a single, over-age light cruiser with an armament that doesn't work to police the entire star system. But the people out to get her have made one mistake. They've made her mad.  ---Synopsis from 'On Basilisk Station'

2. Spike/ Xander Harris (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
3. Buffy Summers/Rupert Giles (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
4. Rodney McKay/Radek Zelenka (Stargate Atlantis)

I kept the list to pairings that I've actually read fic for. There are a few pairings that I really like but I haven't actually read, they're all slash as well.


Other than an abundance of slash, I dodn't really see any commonalities between them.

We are nominating official fandoms for a Multifandom Genfic Exchange!

gen_ficathongen_ficathon
Just about every fandom that I follow and my flist follows has been nominated:
Buffy, Angel, Andromeda, Blakes 7, Bones, Castle, Doctor Who, Firefly, Forever Knight,  Harry Potter, Highlander,  Stargate Sg-1, Stargate Atlantis, Supernatural, Tin Man...

The full list is here. You have until May 26 to nominate more. Book fandoms are also welcome. So, go look, nominate! :)

I am very disappointed with Dancing this season. Ty stayed far longer than he should have. Lil' Kim should have been in the finals. Melissa should have been in 2nd place and Gilles should have won.

I tried a different technique with a couple of the icons and managed to make 2 of the best icons I've ever made. Very Cool!
