I had to get a ticker!

My new little ticker counting down to my thesis deadline. *meep!* Slow and steady wins the race right...?




It's on my user info... added incentive or sucker for punishment? You tell me... :p

I don't seem to have many interests... I guess I should add more. :p ( My Cloud of Interests )

A note to no one in particular and probably just me rambling on because I'm paranoid...

Dear friends list,

I'm probably simply a paranoid nut, but lately it has seemed from the tone of a few conversations I've had and such, that perhaps some of the stuff I put in my LJ is not to some of your tastes and somehow this has made you annoyed or frustrated with me.

It is my LJ and I don't apologize for what I put in it! I realise that when I joined LJ, I was as good as a country bumpkin and only tentatively opened the odd fic labeled slash or smut. I do still absolutely love the gen and crack fic for which I friended many of you, though good gen seems to be getting harder and harder to find *sobs*. If my tastes have now changed slightly to include some of the things I previously stayed away from, or refrained to mention, I'm sure you can all cope with it.

I enjoy chatting with you all and, after some comments in particular, have made an effort to clearly label all of my recs and fics for content. Hopefully this is enough. You all friended me voluntarily and of course are free to unfriend me, so I'm hoping this is simply my own paranoia at work, but I felt the need to say something.

Let me say also, that if I instigated our friendship, it was because I admire something about you, whether it be your social commentary and general view on life, your fan fiction or graphics skills, a mixture of the aforementioned or something else entirely.

*hugs and love*

EDIT: Thanks to those of you who responded to this little paranoid rant. I won't respond to all your comments, but I feel somewhat better. Like I commented to _wwsd_ below, it's not aimed at anyone in particular, but it just needed to be said by me for my own peace of mind.

Clients

Oh knowledgeable peoples out in the ether; does anyone use a client for LJ and could tell me about them?

I found the FAQ sheet and the list of clients for windows, but I don't really get what it is that they do and I'm not sure which one to try or whether to try one at all.

I have this strange notion that it would be cool to be able to write entries when you can't get to the web and save them for later upload. It would be great for holidays and travelling and stuff. Is that something that a client might enable? What else can they do? Why do people use them?

Many thanks for any info.

What's in a name? Bates

Does anyone have a favourite name for the Bates character. I need a first name for the fic that I'm writing, but I can't remember any of the ones other people have used. Please do tell, because I'm not a big fan and I'll likely give him a name you'll all hate. *grins*

I don't want to give away this fic, but assuming I ever actually get it into words on the screen, it shall be cracklicious!!!! I have been giggling gleefully over it since I first suggested it to rinkle and I was babbling about it to crumpets tonight and I really have to just write it somehow. The plot just keeps getting thicker and it's hard to know where to start.
Oh and I want to write a follow up green goo fic to finish the little McKay/Sheppard series off. It just never felt finished. But, the little fic has become rather long in my mind and now I'm not sure how to do that one either. I'd love to add in the current artword prompt somewhere too. It just seems sort of right, since the other two were written as artword challenges as well. Sort of poetic or something, but I don't think I can write it fast enough. I'll see.

Gee gads! It's raining cats and dogs here! I have a small piece of tin roof on my house and wow that's loud!!

I nabbed a couple of Joe Flannigan shows the other day. The Tru Calling episode he was in and that Gramercy Park thing where all the shots that everyone has of him and a baby are from. Honestly, I was far too amused by half my flist apparently clutching their ovaries at the sight, so I must see that one for myself.

Soooo I have some watching to do tomorrow, in between writing and cleaning. I think I may spend my Saturday hermit moding again.
Plus if I don't watch the rest of BSG and SG1 S9 soon my friend is going to burst with not telling me what happened. *grins* I've had the eps for ages and just haven't got around to watching and it's rather amusing listening to her trying not to give it away, but I should watch it soon, so she can spill. ...and also because I want to of course. Hee! So much to watch and so little time.

I just wanted to add here that I cooked...yaha! I have smoked salmon risotto and you know that means I had to open wine to cook and I couldn't waste the rest, so I'm rather mellow right now...and mellow = rambly in my world, but it's all good. Oh and I have chocolate gelato! *grins* The world is good!

...plus I have a nifty new thing called Semagic, that lets me play with posts offline and save them for later and adds in html for me and I can see my tags, so i won't keep doubling up on them...and it is good! Woot! You can even colour your text with it...the html for which I never bothered with. *big colourful grin*

Anyway, so about Bates, anyone got a favourite first name, or should I name him like Boris or something? :p
Yes...Sergeant Boris Bates! That amuses me no end! Better hurry! Oh and he is a Sergeant right? Enlisted man yes? Which makes Ford his superior, something I only just realised. *is amused again*
