Of course, the difficulty in doing one of those 'ten things I assume you know about me' posts is that I, y'know, assume you know and therefore don't think to think about it. I mean, I've had someone before who'd had me friended for a good while before telling me, astonished, that they thought I was a bloke. :D So what should I include in an introduction post? What do people not know/want to know? How would you introduce yourselves?

I woke up yellow, this morning.
I wish flatmates wouldn't talk to me when I'm clearly not ready to go.

I FAIL AT WILLPOWER.

I went into town today to buy a presentation folder thing for my essay (which I'm writing over the weekend, woot) and a copy of Of Mice and Men because I have to teach it to the Year 10s. I came home with those two things, plus a copy of Northanger Abbey (damn you, bookelfe), The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Ships and Boats (damn you, lamardeuse) and The Habit of Victory: The story of the Royal Navy 1545-1945 (damn you, brain!)

Some day, I swear, I will be able to walk past a bookshop without going in. Now I have to go tidy my room and try to find room for the additional bookage, somewhere.

Stuff that's making me happy today

O'Neill Inbound from the Stargate: Atlantis soundtrack.

Shut up! It's the first time you hear the theme tune in the show, it's the first time there's a Sheppard, and it has beautiful scenery and snow everywhere! It's totally contributed to my belief that John Sheppard flies every helicopter in the world ever, except for ones that crash. (In Happy Feet, Rodney's the one who belatedly bops and falls on his ass. :D)

Grenade Jumper by Fall Out Boy

Hey Chris, you were our only friend, and I know this is belated but WE LOVE YOU BACK! ♥ ♥ ♥

Highlights of History by Eddie Izzard

Seriously, I was listening to this while wandering through town and I could not stop laughing to save my life. :D "If I die on the floor can I get up in these heels?"

I will never stop laughing at this. I wish I knew who made it so I could show appropriate adulation.

Sunshine!

AUs

I don't have time to write them, right now, but I'm still compiling soundtracks and working things out in my head and it's pleasing. And every now and again I'll run across a snippet I wrote back in the day and snigger quietly to myself at things like this:

The bearded giant stared down at him, and Rodney swallowed hard.

"I'll fight you for him."

There was a low rumble, like the sound of an approaching stampede, coming from deep within the man's chest.

"Oh god," whimpered Rodney, "I'm going to die," except Dex was laughing. Bent at the waist and slapping his thigh and barely able to stand up for it. Then he stood, faster than Rodney could move, and he felt an undignified squeak squeezed out of him as the man mountain pulled him into a ridiculously tight hug.

"I like you, Mckay."

Rodney looked over Dex's shoulder at John, who was looking bemused and like he was trying not to laugh, both at the same time. Which was aggravatingly like the expression he wore every other day.

"He likes me?" he hissed.

"Man says he likes you," and the bastard was laughing, he could hear it in his voice.

"Oh." Rodney listened with the abstraction of panic as he almost heard his ribs creak. "Do I want him to like me?"


*grins*

What's makin' you happy?

I'm intrigued, frankly. I was watching snippets of these episodes earlier.

If you've seen any of the episodes and wanna tell me what you thought of 'em, that'd be awesome. :D

Hunh. In Other News, I've been having an increasingly severe allergic reaction to something lately, and considering it just stopped when I changed my pyjamas (but man, am I covered in nail marks and rashage) I'm suspecting it's related to the Persil I've been washing my clothes in lately. Which... guess what I washed pretty much ALL my clothes in, today?

*sigh*

WHO HAS HIDDEN MY TOOTHBRUSH?
