::dusts LJ off::

. . . I still can't believe that just a couple of years ago, I never would have gone so long without updating/reading my flist/engaging in other LJ-centric shenanigans. Now it's getting too regular for me to vanish for a month or more. Sigh. Well, baby steps + fandom = regular LJ activity, right? Right!

(& that reminds me, [livejournal.com profile] sneakyangel virtually gifted me a pair of awesome headphones! Thanks, bbdoll, that was so sweet of you! ::hugs::)

So! I'm popping in before I start getting ready for work (opening the shop today, not being a file slave) to say hello to all of the lovely new friends I made from the Young Justice friending meme! ::waves at all of you:: It's delightful to meet all of you! I'm really rather bad at intro posts, but my big damn fannish megapost can be useful, I think. Also, my Twitter! (Yes, I love Twitter a bit more than I should, I know.) It's locked, but I'll add anyone that isn't a spam account. ♥

Hmm, so, what's new in my little life . . . not too much, really. Life's been fairly smooth for the most part, at least recently. ::knocks on wood:: I did actually start venturing back out into my (past) nightlife activities, after a long, long period of reluctance. I actually had a great time last week & I'm pretty sure I'll be going again this week.

I also saw the fellow again. Erm. That's for a longer post, but the short of it is, it was his birthday last week, I wished him a happy birthday, he said he was glad to see me & had felt kind of bad about how things went the last time we saw each other & I gave him a (somewhat sipped at, but still a valid offering) bottle of Bacardi I'd been (trying!) to drink throughout the night. Good thing he likes rum.

I also need to do a comics squeepost sometime. Mostly because I need to flail about Huntress: Year One in more than one hundred & forty characters. Also, Young Justice.

Also, Green Arrow. (Spoiler alert: the Grell era needs to NEVER EVER END.)

Speaking of all things Oliver Queen, I think I need to do another rec post in the future, but rather than a second Bruce/Wally one (because there isn't enough fic for them in the world!), I'll whip up a nice Arrowfamily rec post! They're not getting enough respect, dammitall! ::shakes fist::

Hmm. Must go get ready for work now. Then I have errands to run, which means I can't stay & spend time with Jenna after she gets to the shop, or start working on the book she's showing me how to create. (she knows a bit about bookbinding & she's teaching me how to do it. Awesome!)
riverdresses: (☂ hello sixties kitten!)
FIRSTLY! Since I haven't been updating much, I haven't had a chance to let m'dearest [livejournal.com profile] nentari know that I received a lovely surprise in my postbox recently! Will you forgive my sloppiness, sweetheart? I adore my book so much & I'm very touched that you sent it to me. Thankyou so much, love! ::hugs you::

It's been indescribably hot here for the past four, nearly five days; as in ninety degrees right here in San Francisco. It's been so intense that I can barely sleep at night & I've been getting rather dizzy & headache-y at night. It's been lovely out, but just too hot.

Went to lunch with the lovely girl I work with & my physician/boss/neighbour. She said the office had been doing so much better, so we could celebrate. It was a very nice lunch in a very nice cafe & the three of us had a splendid time. I also learnt a touch about wine with a few sips of a rather nice white wine. & happily, it didn't taste like furniture polish or make me want to cringe after I tasted it.

(I'm really bad with wine, actually; I sort of hate it. Champagne or something cute & mixed for me please! Or a Guinness.)

Speaking of being out & about with people, I think my own return to nightlife is going to be a lot sooner than I had originally thought it would be. Ideally, I would have liked to return this very week, but I think I'll give it perhaps a couple more weeks, if not just one more.

I'll probably feel the mad sense of panic when I'm actually on my way there, but right now . . . I don't feel any of that. Rather, I feel kind of excited to go back. White Zinfandel & Gauloises on Thursdays again. ♥

Also, I have a question for my dears! Does anyone use GOMPlayer to screencap things? KMPlayer's display kept fucking up when I tried to cap my Smallville DVDs & of course, VLC is kind of useless when it comes to screencapping, I find, unless I want to do it all manually, which I don't.

GAAAAAAAAAAAH, WHY IS SCREENCAPPING SO FRUSTRATING FOR ME. ::growls::

& curiously enough, [livejournal.com profile] wordsindreams has suggested that I return to Twitter (I've rather abandoned it) & well, I'll be seeing everyone there soonish, I do believe! At least my Twitter app will get a little use now . . .
riverdresses: (miscellaneous ;; here in elysia)
last week♥

- I spent about ten minutes going up & down in one of the best luxury elevators in the city. mostly for pictures, but also because the heights make me feel safer than anywhere else I've been.

- then I slipped into chinatown for a spell to take pictures. & I realised that while I love chinatown in the heat of the afternoon, when the energy is at its highest there, it is even more beautiful in the early morning, where only the true denizens of the district are out, with very few tourists around. it's a subtle magick, but it's still there.

- I wrote river!fic. well, a snippet of river!fic, really. I should go & edit it a bit & post it eventually. river, a friend & riding in a glass elevator. preseries.

- stargate atlantis, 4x22 - the last man )

- I'm halfway through the manga series gals! ran kotobuki = my idol. also, I've started watching the anime of it, which is supergals! ♥♥♥ ran, aya & myiu are so.much.awesome. I can't wait to see the rest of season one!

- the final volume of the drifting classroom is out this month. OMG FINALLY. I NEED TO KNOW HOW THAT SERIES ENDS.

- I also got volume nine of NANA this month.

you're more important than any boyfriend nana! )

- I HAVE A DATE WITH THE BOYTHING THIS WEEKEND!!! yes, I bought a second new skirt for it. now I need to find a top. wheeee, I'm seeing my boything!

- THE ARK OF TRUTH IS OUT TOMORROW & I'M GOING TO SEE ABOUT BUYING IT. ::licks daniel & vala::

- I've been watching the colbert report & I do think I've gone & found my latest obsession. the last few minutes of last week's ep? FTMFW.

& I'm kind of shocked to discover that my mummy likes stephen colbert. she does! & I somehow did not know this.

- I was painfully reminded of why I cannot go out of the house without my hair straightened: IT LOOKS LIKE HERMIONE GRANGER'S HAIR HAD AN AFFAIR WITH COSMO KRAMER'S HAIR & MY HAIR WAS THE RESULT. O.M.G. it is THAT frightening. It's entirely possible I scared small children with it.

- I've become slightly obsessed with getting a pair of loose socks. THESE SOCKS, I WANTS THEM NAO PLZ. BADLY.

- I finally got a flickr! I'm riverdresses over there, so if you have a flickr, please tell me so I can add you!

- I missed this song. I've been listening to it a lot lately. it makes me ruminate of the similarites & differences between simon tam & daniel jackson, which I don't mind doing. & plus, daniel's getting this song in the second part of his mix.

- & I miss firefly. I want some firefly please!

edit: o! & because I forgot this earlier, a meme!

A. List five through ten fandoms.

2. Stargate Atlantis
3. Firefly
4. Supernatural
5. Seinfeld
(if anyone goes with number five, THERE WILL BE COOKIES.)
riverdresses: (daniel jackson ;; awesome ;; stunned)
Um, so, Kindred. Just one thing, if you please.

Stargate Atlantis 4.18 - The Kindred (part one) )

OMG [livejournal.com profile] colonel_taisa, WHY ARE YOU NOT ON RIGHT NOW, I NEED TO SQUEE & FLAIL LIKE DRUNKEN!RODNEY AT YOU.

In other Stargate fandom-ish news, I had a dream this morning that consisted entirely of Daniel Jackson & Carolyn Lam in the same bed & making out with each other while Tori Amos' song Code Red played in the background. I woke up & I was all '. . . Okay, WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT ABOUT.' I haven't watched any SG-1 for a while, so yeah, RANDOM DREAM. But Daniel & Carolyn lip-locking is good! Um, kind of.

& in regular life news, I'm seeing the boyshape at noon on Sunday. Still very panicky. But am also buying new skirt at Victoria's Secret that I saw & fell in love with this week. Rain's predicted for the weekend. Possibly apocalyptic, Genii-coming-to-visit style rain. Love that kind! Am also hoping to borrow ten dollars from my mother for train ticket & other date-type expenses.

I have a date-type thing with a boy I have a relationship-type thing happening with. WHEEEE!
riverdresses: (daniel jackson ;; orgasmic ;; merboy)
Downpouring here in Middle Lantea today. Not the apocalyptic rain of before, but it still makes me happy!

OMG BIRTHDAY IS RIDICULOUSLY CLOSE OMGYAY. ::does a spazzy little dance of happy::

& speaking of birthday, I have a little tale to speak of! You see, I'm in the bookshop at the mall everyday. Not because I work there, but because I like being there & reading. Well, there's this fellow who is quite friendly to me & always makes a bit of time to talk to me when he sees me. Well, today, I was sitting in the stacks, flipping through a manga that I had illegally opened & a Postsecret book & he came by (for maybe the second time?) & said hello & such. Then he asked me what day my birthday was on. (it's next Wednesday) Then he said he'd thought it was on a Friday so he could maybe ask me out for a coffee.

. . . I think I was just asked out. (this is how bad I am with dating & such - I barely know when I'm being asked out!) Was I?

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

But enough about my boring real life! Let's talk about something fun . . . or rather, look at something fun, namely, a Kissing!Daniel picspam! This was a spam I promised [livejournal.com profile] lost_little_nat AGES ago but have been a bit lazy on doing. But now, I've done it! I do hope you all enjoy it - it's Daniel Jackson lip-locking with chicks! (& one pic of him & Jack where I SWEAR, they look like they're about to kiss. I SAY IT COUNTS.)

& as usual, all my caps are from Stargate Caps since I can't cap my own things, alas!

♥ NOT DIAL-UP FRIENDLY! ♥


your eyelashes sparkle like gilded grass & your lips are sweet & slippery like a cherub's bare wet ass )

Whee! Off to answer comments & find a cold refreshment now - but you can all expect a Bondage!Daniel picspam sometime in the near future!
