Mmm, Tom Hardy's face...

Mar 06, 2011 21:47

Is it just me, or is anybody else totally confused about how these flickr and tumblr things work? I am aware that one of the latter regularly gives me access to the amazing that is Tom Hardy's face, but I'm not quite sure how, or indeed how I could get involved in such a community ( Read more... )

Do you have a tumblr? I can show you. :D

Or I can just give you this: http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/tom+hardy

Oooohh, yummy.

I do not have tumblr, no. I might get it some time in the future (probably the same time I venture into twitter, several years too late), and then there will be much flail. Right now, though, I've just saved notmyhairitisapalm to my browser toolbar, so that when facebook has stopped messing about, I can get my Tom Hardy fix :D That man will turn me into some kind of junkie, I swear it.

Oh, God, don't even get me started on Tumblr. I understand the concept... I think? But I have no idea how to participate, really, or how I got there, or WHAT IN THE BLAZES IS GOING ON. As much as I love picspams of Tom Hardy's face and JGL looking cool and well-dressed, that site does leave me a bit clueless. Glad it's not just me!!

Oh no! Well, I'm sure the authors will be totally fine with the wait! I'm sure they are just incredibly stoked that you are going to podfic their work. ;D But yes, podfic is an especially trixy beast in some environments. Four housemates + piano = sounds like quite the challenge, love! D: (Also, where are you going to school in Wales, if you don't mind me asking? You mentioned earlier that Wales has been impacting your accent, too, and that got me wondering. ^-^)

:D :D :D :D AHAHAHAHA I GET A PRESENT. <3 <3 <3 I love you so much. And it's coming with drama?! Oh MAN. I am so stoked. And I know it's going to be awesome already. And I GET A PRESENT. (I am still not over this fact.) You are such a star and a ( ... )

It is true, I adore Tumblr and its excess of well-dressed JGL, but I'm not sure quite how he appears on my computer screen, only that he does.

I feel really, really bad about the podficcing. Both the authors I requested were super excited about getting their work recorded, and now it's been aaaages and I'm worried they think I've forgotten :( I think I'll send them an apologetic email.

I live in Swansea atm, which is a lovely, if slightly grubby, city. I love it to pieces, except when it rains, which is quite often. And it's very, very windy (hair nightmare).

I am so excited you're excited about your present! This fic appears to be all about 'looking'. And Arthur's knees.

Big Bang will come! Gwennie's present will be finished via judicious application of Gwaine! Your present will be done! Arthur's knees!

Another example of my fail at Tumblr from today: was on a Tumblr today, and saw a cool article/picture combo. Saw that there were 40,000 responses OMG! Clicked on them, expecting 40,000 comments to read; was instead met with 40,000 individual "So and So likes this picture"s. X__X I don't get tumblr.

Just wikipedia'd Swansea just now (I knew where it was, and I've been to Wales, but only Cardiff really). It looks nice! Also, rain = boo. It rains here most of the time, as well. I got my shoes all wet today. :(

Mmmmmmmm Arthur's knees... <3

I don't get that response thing either. I think maybe it's like retweets (not that I'm particularly familiar with those either), except tumblr records every tumble. Also, I think that's really sweet, you wanting to read people's comments! I hardly ever bother to. Usually I have a bit of a scan, so I can remember how to politely and non-gushingly compliment a story or other work, but that's about it.

The internet lies about Swansea. As it does, I suppose, about every city. Since I'm a student, who has walked every street and every alley in all hours of the day or night in various states of intoxication (except between 6am and mid-afternoon, that time is for sleeping), I think I have something of a more cynical view. It's a good student city, cheap and a bit dirty. When I finish uni, I probably won't move back to London. I'll go live in Cardiff instead, which I think is a lovely city :)

(we have now moved on from Arthur's knees and the arches of his feet to voices that are rough with sleep. It's all very exciting)
