meme + stuff
I should never do memes on Fridays. No one's around to do them!
From twentyfivepast: Comment and I'll give you three of your icons and three of your interests to explain.
david hewlett's tummy apparently
David Hewlett plays Rodney McKay in the Stargate franchise. I find Rodney's jackassness repulsively attractive. (Imagine if House was done right, and instead of the writers waffling over why he was an inconsiderate ass, he was just an inconsiderate ass.) More importantly, David Hewlett has a bit of a tum that I am in love with. I just want to pat it all the time. I think I have proven, over the years, that I like my women curvy and my (very few) men to have a little tum. (HI JON STEWART.)
Um, the apparently is there because I add it to the end of basically any interest that I'm blindsided by liking.
the indesign dropper tool
OH YES THIS IS MY FAVOURITE INTEREST. We use the Adobe program InDesign to create the Independent each week. InDesign has a tool that you can use to pick up text attributes and apply them to other areas of text. Imagine if instead of going through and individually highlighting text and then making it italic, you could drag a tool over whatever text you want and make it italic. Or bigger. Or a different font altogether. Or all three at once. It makes my life SO MUCH EASIER. I seriously can't even remember laying out without it and I wish every program had the feature. I get really pissy when I have to go through and italicize in Word now.
biscuits in pots
quatredeathlady and I used to have dinner at my apartment every Friday night. One night when _morning_glow was also in attendance, I tired to make our favorite biscuits, but I added too much water. We decided to try adding extra flour and stuff to make up for the extra water, but they came out terribly and no one ate them. After dinner, while we were cleaning up, I said, "I AM PUTTING THESE BISCUITS IN THIS POT!" and no one cared. Then I went to the bathroom and when I came out, Nicole and Tara were basically laughing hysterically because I put the biscuits in the pot. We named them. Here is a dramatic recreation. Eugene had crazy eyes.
This is my friend Sebastian, back when he was fulltime Roger. He is the boy, clearly. Mayumi Ando is the girl. I don't find Seb hot, really, but in this picture? He totally is. It's Mayumi's picture and she told me I could have it after referring to it as "the one were Seb is a hot rockstar." All of my Seb!friends were obsessed with this picture for awhile. Keyword is "seb," and I use it when talking about him, but it's entirely possible it's the only Rent icon I have left.
Wobbly Headed Bob from Jhonen Vasquez's Johnny the Homicidal Maniac (and Squee). In the comic, Bob is, as usual, being sad about life and he's sitting next to the kitty and makes some reference to being depressed and how the kitty must be thinking sad thoughts too, but really the kitty is thinking about curling up in Bob's head and taking a nap. I think it is the most adorable icon ever, but apparently it freaks some people out. Keyword is "tired."
Whenever I'm uploading new icons I pause and think, "I should delete this one," but I can't because it's RSL and TOM STOPPARD and how is that not amazing? It was taken at the Tonys, right after RSL won for his portrayal of Young Housman in The Invention of Love (which is quite possibly my favourite Stoppard play, although R&G Are Dead and The Real Thing are also awesome. As is... you know, everything else.). I uploaded it when I as full into my RSL/Ethan Hawke obsession and though I never use it, I can't seem to part with it. I fucking love Tom Stoppard, man.
Anyway, I think, re-reading both the post I made last night and the conversation I had with Alex is pretty much the highlight of this whole wisdom teeth experience. I love the slow slide from "mostly sober" to "unable to type correctly."
MoonSheen7: JOANNA quinn?
muffins and tea: TYOP i meant joans
muffins and tea: jonas
muffins and tea: letters are hard.
MoonSheen7: I was like "Did Jonas get a sex change in this?"

MoonSheen7: See, I'd misread it as "Teyla and Joanna quinn'
muffins and tea: OH NMAN TEYLA WOULD BE SHUCH A HOT LESBIAN!
It was pretty amazing. I was reading an awful story (my favourite awful SGA story!) and talking about it with Alex because Deana went to sleep and I didn't want to wake her up by shouting.

muffins and tea: OH I FOROG TIT'S CANON THAT EVER ONE IS GAY IN THIS STORY THIS IS HE BEST LINE:
muffins and tea: "Bates?" John asked.
"This surprises you?"
"Well, yeah, Rodney. I happen to know he likes women."
"Were you aware that seventy-three percent of the personnel attached to the SGC are bi-sexual?" Rodney asked.
muffins and tea: ahahaah i typoed tits.
MoonSheen7: HAHAHAHA ATLANTIS IS LIKE THE INTERNET
MoonSheen7: EVERYONE IS BI
And then, tragically, the story ended and I was hungry, so I tried to navigate my way to the kitchen.
muffins and tea: i just had appel sauce
muffins and tea: and i ha dto sit on the floor.
MoonSheen7: Oh dear.
muffins and tea: there were not chairs.
MoonSheen7: Too long a walk to the couches, huh.
muffins and tea: yeah and the floor was right thiere.
