Ha! Well that's a lie. Winter (and Autumn apparently) is for hibernating from everything, including the internet. It's been far too long since I posted on LJ or even looked at it much. I think it's probably because I'm kind of between fandoms at the moment (online fandoms that is). This actually makes me a little sad because I want to write some ( Read more... )

... a jeans woman that is. I love wearing jeans and it's probably one of the reasons I hate work so much - having to wear slacks or skirts and (blegh) stockings. (Note to self: I should really try thigh highs.)

So, my birthday was last Sunday. And It. Was. Awesome. Presents I weren't expecting, awesome family get together at the Salmon Ponds and THE best pancakes I have EVER had (mine was salmon, cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and spinach). Then my awesome new laptop finally arrived on Tuesday and I have been in love ever since. As I sit here, writing this on ( Read more... )

A few things that I've been meaning to post for a few days:

Putting aside ZQ's awesome tweet wishing Leonard Nimoy a Happy Birthday - ll&p and all that, I just adore the fact that as Leonard's birthday rolls around, Bill Shatner's thoughts turn to love:
