again, I say: asflksd:!hnv!!!1!

I have Sheppard-like elasticity! My roommate and I are the same height, but I'm the only one of us who can get things down from the top shelf without having to stand on anything. Roommate has no idea how I do this. I smirk and look knowing.

A thing most necessary to read: [livejournal.com profile] dogeared has written a wonderful tag to Roommates as part of [livejournal.com profile] sheafrotherdon's very marvelous J/R belly festival. It's lovely and hot and I have exploded horribly all over the place.

My entry is here, in which Rodney comes back from a mission quite disgruntled and John nearly has a Rodney-induced aneurysm.

In other news: Today was a strange combination of insane productivity and complete lack of progress (or a disturbing presence of reversal). I got a ton of RL work done, which is good, but I also forgot to do a few things that are going to vex me until tomorrow. Fannishly, I wrote belly!porn but failed to finish my [livejournal.com profile] atlantisbasics fic (*pauses for self-flagellation*), and I also deleted 15 icons because it would be cruel to make people look at them. It's been a while since I've done such small work, I wonder if I'm losing my touch.

One of the few things not consigned to the "sucky icons" folder is this one. Not because it's a brilliant piece of technical work, but because one of my favorite refrigerator magnets inspired it.



:> Should go to bed because Finn has an early vet appointment (he loves the vet), but I will very likely stay up until an absurd hour, doing God knows what.

ETA: *has heart attack* I hate it when people call me at midnight, because my first thought is 1) someone is dead, or 2) there has been some catastrophe, as a result of which someone may soon be dead. This time it was just my sister, because she calls at bizarre hours, wanting to know about a recipe for chicken. Chicken? At midnight?

Come to think of it, I hate it when people call during the day too, because my first thought is 1) someone is dead, or 2) someone wants money.

I wasn't best pleased when my daughter at university called me at 5 in the morning. She wanted to tell me that Nietzche was "cuddly".

J/R belly festival
Oh, this sounds interesting... ^^
(+ those of [livejournal.com profile] mcshep_match, woah it makes a lot of fics ! Want to read yours if it did not be showed yet)

Chickens at midnight ? O_o
(would have been pissed of)

And you icon (the surviving one) is good : maybe the blue background is a bit too simple (I like odd textures ;)...

God, me too! :-/

I love the icon, though.

:O
No you didn't. I love the one that remained, though. :-) But don't do that again. Put us through the pain. :-P (j/k)

As for the phone thing, I'm the same. I hate the phone as it is. It gave me heart attack several times and more bad news than good.

Now I go and wallow in belly fest. :-)

"Cuddly" is not an adjective I'd ever think to apply to Nietzche. Definitely far down on the list.

I believe the word you're looking for is hot :>

It's strange... I like making complicated textures, but I never really use them in icons--I tend to stay with fairly simple backgrounds for some reason.

I hate the phone in general is probably a good way to look at it. Seriously, Caller ID is one of the great inventions of all time, so I can know whom I can ignore.

Oh God, me too. Occasionally it's nice when friends or family call (so long as they call at very specific times of day), but most of the time it's people wanting money, which is depressing.

No you didn't.

I did :/ I'm very much out of icon practice, so most of what I've been doing is remembering how to do icons in the first place :>
