John Sheppard backstory = worlds of awesome.
So, I am a bit of a backstory whore. Always have been as long as I've been in fandom. It's why I loved the Marauders the most in HP fandom, and well, it's manifested its self in other fandoms as well I just can't remember particular instances, anyway, point is, I am a sucker for a well-written backstory fic, and if it happens to be a John Sheppard backstory fic well, that's just, an entire different planet of awesome.
If you find yourself also afflicted, or you know, you just like awesome SGA McShep fic, check out S is for Sing by cesperanza and Lim for artword.
I know cespreanza is recced everywhere, but with good reason, this is an awesome fic and shamefully took advantage of my desire for awesome John Sheppard backstory. I may go and read it again.
Life in general? Okay. Work. Eh. Hung out tonight with flatmate and watched Wimbledon (downright cheesy in places, but Paul Bettany! Bernard Hill! James McAvoy!), which was cool. Going out tomorrow. Have no real grand plans for the weekend.
Have also been catching little bits of House S3 which I missed when they aired. That third season finale kinda paled against all other ones they've done, huh? There were some very good eps in the middle-latter part of the season though. <3

Go through their list and bold the ones you have seen, underline the ones you own on video or DVD, and … let's change the rules. Italics for 'I enjoyed this and might even watch it again someday/have watched it many times/catch it if it happens to be passing on the TV'; one asterisk for 'I totally meant to see this when it came out and never got around to it, or when it turned up on telly, and now I can't be arsed to rent the DVD'; two asterisks for 'Why in god's name did I watch this at all?'; and assorted comments to fill in the gaps.
