Well, thanks to the dragon_age friending meme there's rather a few more of you reading this than there were before, so I thought I'd make a proper HELLO EVERYONE post. Things you need to know about me:

• I like to put things in bulleted lists
• I'm currently alternating my time between Cardiff and London, doing a master's degree in English Literature. I' ( Read more... )

Five questions from skelody , hooray!

ONE.
What's the first book you remember reading on your own?

This rather dreadful series of books called Animal Ark, which were about a girl whose parents are both vets. they all had alliterative titles like Rabbit on the Run or Pony in the Paddock and they were exactly the kind of thing a very young girl reading on her ( Read more... )

The desktop meme that futuresoon just did:

1. Stop what you're doing. Print Screen.
2. Print screen your current desktop.
3. If you have Photoshop open, print screen.
4. If you have a music player open, print screen.
5. Pick a folder, open it, print screen.

( This will probably surprise nobody )

Via my usual source of such things (futuresoon ) another meme: This time with icons!

Comment here and I will pick six of your icons, you then copy and paste this in your LJ along with your explanations/comments/squeeage about each one.

This is good, because it will give me practice adding images to comments

( icons and rambling under the cut! )

Why can't I find nerdy girl's t-shirts that are a) nice and b) don't cost silly money to ship to the UK?

I WANT TO SHOW THE WHOLE WORLD HOW GEEKY I AM. CHEAPLY.

p.s I saw the new Star Trek movie for the first time yesterday and holy crap the internet wasn't kidding about it being incredibly good. Even if I did recognise the engine room as a brewery ( Read more... )

This is our FOURTH consecutive day of rain. If you guys don't hear me for a while I'm either

a) drowning

or

b) stockpiling lumber and gathering 2 of every animal

Seriously Wales I am NOT IMPRESSED with this weather. And after I wrote a fic with you in it and everything!

Waters of Mars tonight aaaaaaah

So I promised _solaeris that I'd talk about attending the workshops and recordings that the BBC took to my university, and now's as good a time as any to write it up, I suppose! First things first, I didn't actually end up getting to see the News Quiz being recorded. Apparently Sandi Toksvig was too ill to travel that day so they recorded it up in London ( Read more... )

It's occurred to me that you guys might not know about this game, which is a heinous mistake that must be corrected immediately. Remember the link to the Moe Anthro tanks game that I posted a while back? This game is even crackier. Basically, it's a Japanese (of course) game that features the President of America Michael Wilson in a giant mecha ( Read more... )

It's come to my attention that today is National Poetry Day! I love poetry (I'm doing my dissertation on John Milton, so I'd better) and I thought I'd mark the occasion by putting up a poem I like very much, by one of my favourite women poets: Charlotte Mew.

The Call
by Charlotte Mew (1869 - 1928)

From our low seat beside the fire

Might as well commit myself to this here. A Middleman/Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya crossover has pretty much eaten any part of my brain that could be used for anything useful. Anybody here interested in that kind of thing?

(alternatively, anyone with any MiddleKnowledge that might be useful in getting them both to Japan would be very welcome)

yes, ( Read more... )
