Taken from the MSN gossip page:
Details are trickling in from Pink's wedding to motocross racer Carey Hart, which took place Saturday at sunset on a beach in Costa Rica. Us Weekly reports about 150 friends and family looked on as the barefoot bride made her way down the aisle in a cream-colored gown to the strains of Billy Joel's "She's Always a Woman" (a hokey choice, sure, but at least it wasn't "Get the Party Started"). During their vows, Pink, 26, proclaimed to Hart, 30, "I love you because I let you hold my heart and you haven't broken it," which is both incredibly sweet and kinda gross, if taken literally.
What do you want to bet some staff writer is a closet Buffy fan? |

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
My fannish resolutions:
1) COMMENT MORE! I read all y'all's entries, and you deserve to know that I care.
2) WRITE MORE! Not just about my life, but about fannish things. I do have fannish thoughts after each BSG and VM that I watch, at least, in addition to random musings on other topics.
3) ADJUST MORE! I need to adjust my reading list, I think. Some people have drifted, and I'm going to be ass-busy next semester, but I definitely want to keep up.
So, yeah. I'm going to be student teaching next semester. Which means that I go from living and working in a college atmosphere on a college schedule (working whenever, classes only a few days a week, friends up till all hours of the night, etc) to working on a school-day schedule (8am-3pm 5 days a week) AND a college schedule (class two nights a week) and living with people on a college schedule (friends with classes 2 days a week, up till all hours of the night, etc). I have no idea how it's going to be, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to be incredibly stressed and worried and busy, which will make it hard to keep up with shows and fic and people, but I'm sure as hell gonna try!
I have no freakin' clue where I'm going to be this time next year--geographically, emotionally, financially.. that's really exciting and unsettling. |

I ::heart:: my ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) sweet_ali. Thank you so much for the card, honey!
In other news, I've had a headache ever since I've been home. Possible culprits? Tension, paint fumes, dehydration, caffeine withdrawal, my dad's easy listening jazz that he plays throughout the house all the time and gets annoyed at us if anyone asks him to maybe turn it off for a little while.
If you could set me up on a date with anyone, fictional or not, who would you choose?
Six Icons! I'm behind the times. Can anyone point me to some happy fun pretty BSG or VM icons?
Oh, also! Now that I have some time on my hands, know where I can find lots of good, long BSG or Veronica Mars fic? Your own, communities, whatever.. just get me something fannish stat!
I hope everyone is having the best holiday they possibly can. ::hugs:: |

I'm slightly tipsy and contemplating waiting up for the Veronica Mars torrent. When does it normally come out?

I take Rent's advice when it comes to updating.
So. Finals are here and raping me repeatedly up the ass without lube. Nevertheless, I procrastinate. And since I know I won't be less busy any time soon (I also have mad amounts of work to do over winter break) I figured, if I want to get my fandom kinks out somehow, it might as well be here and now. So I'm asking you guys to help me get a little inspired to drabble/write ficlets, just to keep me in the fandom game.
If you could give me a :
Fandom;
Character or Pairing; and
Word,
I'll try to come up with something before the New Year. Fandoms I will write in include BtVS, Firefly, Veronica Mars, and Battlestar Galactica.
I haven't really been filling out the card polls or taking note of where people posted their wishlists. Is there a place where these are all archived? I'd like to go back to them at some point, and maybe do my own..
Can anyone get this knot out of my shoulder? Stupid stress and insomnia. ::winces::
::loves on all of you:: |

So I live in a dorm room. Now that its winter, I can't open my window and when that happens, my room gets kinda smelly and stuffy. I'm not sure why, but I'm more inclined to blame the dorm than me. ::grin::
I've just gone on a cleaning spree, and I was wondering if anyone knows of a good way to make my room smell nicer. Not to make it smell overpoweringly like flowers or vanilla or anything, but just a subtle scent, or deodorizer, or something along those lines, to make my room fresh-smelling so that people will want to come over and stay over. ::wink::
I hope all of my American friends are as stuffed as their turkeys were! |

I bought a red dress! One that my friend said is "the most flattering red dress ever!" And I've lost weight!
And I have a student teaching placement for next semester!
There's a cool new VMars tomorrow! And a sexy BSG preview! (Did anyone else realize Jamie Bamber had an accent? ::swoons::)
And I am getting very far behind on my work because I'm spending too much time hanging out with people!
In other words, I'm doing well.

My friend, who I've gotten started on season 1 of VMars, got up to 6 eps and then watched the first six of season two without telling me!
I beat her up with a pillow. She couldn't understand why I seemed so "personally offended." |

| Hey, Dr. Who people.. |
[Oct. 22nd, 2005|06:06 pm] |
I was reading stuff on Diana Gabaldon's website about how she got started on her tremendous Outlander series (the newest book of which, A Breath of Snow and Ashes was just released and is muchly expensive) and she mentioned this old epsiode of Dr. Who as the inspiration for the whole thing:
Why did you choose Scotland during the Jacobite period as the setting for your books?
Well, it was an accident. I was looking for a time in which to set a historical novel, because I thought that would be the easiest for me to write (I..(ahem)...do know how to do research). While pondering, I happened to see a rerun of an ancient Dr. Who episode on PBS--one in which the Doctor had a young Scottish sidekick, picked up in 1745. The sidekick was a cute little guy, about 17, named Jamie MacCrimmon, and he looked rather nice in his kilt. And I was sitting in church thinking about it, and said, "Well, you've got to start somewhere, and it doesn't really matter where, since no one's ever going to see this--so why not? Scotland, 18th century." And that's where I started--no outline, no characters, no plot--just a place and time. |

I just accidentally fell asleep after dinner while reading Othello, then woke up in a fit of nervous energy and cleaned and finished decorating my room. It only took me 7 weeks.
I had a few days break where I went home and slept and slept and slept and didn't think about my future too much. I think I really needed that. It feels like I've been carrying around this ball of stress in the back of my head of "omg what will i do in 7 months i need to live somewhere i need to do something i need to make money i need to make a difference ahhhhhhhh." It's still there--I can tell from the constantly hurting muscles in my neck--but it has abated a bit. Even though thinking about the future still makes me spasm, I feel overall a little more balanced.
How are you guys? |
