::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,

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!)

I think we've been in here a bit too long. I feel productive

alli_everyday I GOT YOUR PACKAGE! ::squeals & launches self at you for a great big hugging:: Thank you so so much for all of the lovely things you sent me - STICKERS! & lipgloss & pretty pens & everything else! ::huggles:: Thank you sweetpea!

& if I may, I'd like to wave hello & give lots of hugs to my new friend

spacemonkeyluvn, who made quite a few of the pretty Daniel icons I'm using, including the 'Pie?' one, which I ♥! Hey there sweetie! ::hugs & give YOU pie::

::twirls around:: So! Today was the monthly SF Browncoats meetup, i.e, what I look forward to every month, so YAY! & a good time was had by all.

elite brought by lots of awesome things she was selling, including my new green wings & my pretty Chinese character stamps! I ♥♥♥♥ my new wings - they're big & green & they get glitter EVERYWHERE. They're definitely my new special occasion wings! ::flutters&flaps:: Anyway, I had a fabulous time as usual, met a few new people (wheeeeee new Browncoats!) & um, I think that's about it. ::giggles::

I'm currently looking on Etsy.com at all of the corsets & such for sale - I think I'm going to eventually buy myself a real corset, since I've wanted one for a while now. I just need to find one that fits & that I can kind of afford. Here are some of the ones I was looking at.

Blue satin corset with feathers - O THIS ONE IS SO PRETTY! It's very can-can dancer-esque & I love the shade of blue! & possibly, I could afford it.

Custom Civil War corset - this one is the one I may cave & get, because it's the most practical (eeeek, that awful word!) & because it reminds me of one I've seen Melora Creager of Rasputina in. (Melora's corsets are so pretty!) This one I could wear with my jeans or under a coat & the price is quite nice. My only quibble is that it's so plain looking! But I could be satisfied if I got it in black, I think.

Deep red silk embroidered Strumpet wearable art corset - I think I'm in love with this one! I WANT. BAD. If I wore that I don't think I'd feel ugly for a second!

Black floral corset - O my god. If I saved my money for a few weeks, I could easily buy this one! It is possibly the sexiest article of fashion I have ever seen & I seriously think I may buy it. It's so. beautiful. I think even I could pull it off!

Steel Boned Corset Grey Cotton w/Black PVC trim - This one I like, but I'm not too sure about - it looks a little too fetish-y for this girl! It is pretty though & the price is very reasonable for me, but I'm not sure if I'd be comfortable wearing it outside! ::giggles::

Plastic Boned Lavender Brocade Corset - This one is really nice & a very good price too! Though I'm not sure if it would fit me - it says it can be made for 32A-36C sizes & I'm, well, I'm a bit bigger than that, but I might be able to wriggle into it!

Sweet Corset - That is just the CUTEST thing ever! It's so sweet & adorable, it's almost Sweet Lolita-style, in a way.

White Corset - this one's simple, but I do like it.

Sparkle Corset - I like this one! It's sexy but not too over the top, I think.

& though this isn't a corset, I WANT IT ANYWAY OMG: Vintage black slip - okay, that would make a PERFECT dress. I don't know how it would look with wings though - I think it may look kind of silly, but maybe I'm wrong?

& this one's silly & cute & I thought

lost_little_nat would like it: Ice Cream Bustier Corset - a corset/bustier made from ice cream print fabric! How cute is that?! I wouldn't wear it, but awwww, it really is the cutest thing ever!

&

elite, I think you may like this! When I saw it, I immediately thought of you! (& OMG, how much do I love everything in that shop?!)

& HUZZAH, Ashley (

paw_tracks) let me play the Icon Meme game!

Comment and I'll pick seven of your icons, and then you will explain why you love/are using the icon (who doesn't love talking about their icons, seriously) and then post your explanation/this meme in your journal for other people to squee about their icons, and basically it will be a huge squeefest of love and 100x100 square pixels.

I am SO down with that!

( yay for livejournal icons! )

I found out last night that Emilie Autumn's Opheliac - the double disc version & several of her other albums - are available on iTunes. Whee! Lucky for me I haven't spent all of my gift cards yet!

& now I think I'm going to return to corset/crinoline/tutulike skirt hunting, buy some music on iTunes, drool over that fucking beautiful goddess-worthy corset some more & maybe comment & read some Jack/Daniel! ::spins all around & makes little bubbly hearts a la Delirium::

& if I do get around to making my Daniel mix? This song will most likely be on it.

I think we've been in here a bit too long. I feel happygirly!

I actually wasn't going to post anything until I'd finished season five of Stargate SG-1, but o, what the hell?

I've been doing some LJ remodeling! I'm not entirely done yet, but I've got a beautiful new friends only banner, some delicious new icons (gah, I love this set of 100x100 pixels. ::licks them::) & a shiny new userinfo that sadly, I've managed to fuck up the coding on. I've tried to fix it myself & I can't figure out what I did wrong - it's driving me crazy! If it's not too much trouble, could someone maybe take a look at it & maybe help me figure out what I did wrong please? I'd really appreciate it! ::smiles::

(& how much do I love the banner on my profile layout? O, sigh!)

I've been well, nothing of interest to really discuss. I have made lots of new friends lately though! ::waves to everyone & gives you all cupcakes:: I swear, I'm not usually this boring - I'm just saving my fangirlish squee for after I've seen all of SG-1. ::grins:: But OMG SGA SEASON THREE & A DOG'S BREAKFAST ARE COMING OUT NEXT WEEKEND OMG SO EXCITED! ::vibrates with glee:: I'm ordering both this weekend & I cannot wait to get my hands on them! More David Hewlett goodness! & eee, Kate Hewlett goodness too! ::bubbles:: Ah, can Tuesday get here FASTER PLEASE?

O, well, I don't mind waiting. I like the weekend! It's the time for Betsy to be a lazy little jellybean & paint her nails, wear her glasses, eat Rasinets, stay up too late & watch Stargate SG-1 & Atlantis until her eyes melt. Yay for geeky fun!

::sighs:: I miss

lost_little_nat. She's gone away for the weekend, so we don't get to talk, sadly. I miss her so!

& Anna Nalick's Citadel still makes me want to dance & flutter & float & be a silly little spacefae. ::twirls::

& I have the strangest craving for cotton candy, or something equally sweet, like Peeps or something. Odd! Maybe I should make more cupcakes. I want sweet treats & trifle!

Okay, no more procrastinating - going to finish reading this fic & then go blissfully geek out with my candy & sci-fi.

::sighs:: I want my spun sugar sweetness!

I think we've been in here a bit too long. I feel annoyed

First off, this is Betsy being a bad flister & not welcoming the newest faces to her LJ properly! So, if I may say it (though it is a bit overdue!), I'd like to welcome

paw_tracks to my flist! ::gives the three of you chocolate chip cookies & firecrackers::

The creepiest thing happened to me yesterday while on my way to procure more SG-1 DVDs for myself. I got on the bus & this guy who I do believe couldh ave been old enough to be my grandfather sat down across from me & asked me what I was listening to. I answered & then he asked me what my name was & if he could have my number so "we could meet up sometime." I said very quickly that my phone was out of service & that I wasn't from the city when he asked me where I lived. When my stop came up, I scurried off that bus & far, far, far away from the creepy guy who, incidentally, got off at the same stop as I did.

::cringes:: THAT WAS CREEPY & KIND OF DISTURBING, FOLKS. Can sleazy, creepy people not hit on me please & thank you? Yay!

So, aside from the creepy old man dramatrauma, I've been good! It's been really hot here though, so I've been basically boiling alive pretty much everywhere I go, even in my own room, sadly. Sigh. No fun, I can assure you. But it is lovely weather for wearing my riverdresss! & I get to keep wearing flip-flops & no real jacket, so for those things, I am enjoying my hot weather! Just not the boiling alive in my own house bit.

& hee, results of my last poll! I'm surprised everyone voted for fluffy AU het over sexy-or-innocent girlslash. But hey, feel free to vote if you already haven't, ya know.

(& wow, you all really think I should do a Sheppard mix, don't you? ::giggles:: But that's good! I can do that! & maybe I will. ::twirly::)

But there's an actual point to this post, even though it's mostly for the SG-1 fen that I KNOW are on my flist - does anyone have any nice slashy Jack/Daniel recs you could share with me? Or, better yet, Daniel-centric fic you may have lying around? I'm not gonna deny it - I ♥ him like crazy & I'm seriously wanting to read some Jack/Daniel. So don't be shy, throw some at me! ::beams & looks sweet::

(yes, I may or may not be finished with season two BUT IT DOES NOT MATTER, YES? RIGHT.)

Okay, bed for me now. ::blows kisses at her flist & all passerby::

I think we've been in here a bit too long. I feel cheerful
