jadesfire: Bright yellow flower (Text - Never put off til tomorrow)
[personal profile] jadesfire
I am here, honest. I'm just working like a crazy woman (almost caught up \o/) and obsessing about Criminal Minds. Last time around, I dropped out of the fandom after one season. This time, I've got a lot of catching up to do and am loving gorging myself on the whole of S2 in one go. Three episodes to go! I have no idea if I'll be inspired to write again, but I have a vague sort of plot bunny lurking at the back of my brain. Er. Anyone browsing my delicious account, that's what the 'Russian roulette' links are for, I swear. It's a suprsingly difficult topic to find out about...

Anyhoo, in lieu of actual content, have some more Morocco photos. Realistically, normal service will not be resumed until next week, so if y'all could just talk amongst yourselves until then, I'd be much obliged.

This is the main train station in Marrakech, on the mother of all traffic junctions.

This is a hotel on a not-particularly-shiny street in Marrakech. They do good tiles in Morocco. Oh yes.

I'm not sure if it's a Berber faux pas to take a picture of laundry, but the colours were too good to resist. The women wash the clothes in the mountain stream before laying them out on rocks or bushes to dry. Or they hang them all over their houses!

The colours were just incredible out there - so much variety and the sun was so bright!

OOOOHhhhh Pretties!

I love Criminal MInds but I'm not at all fannish about it...

*G*

I used to be very fannish about CM (I set up the fandom newsletter) but I'm undecided this time around. Mostly, I'll probably just talk about it over at [livejournal.com profile] that_other_show and maybe write the odd review. It's nice to have something low-pressure :D

Well, see, now I feel a little guilty about the comment I was going to post when I first read this entry, which was something along the lines of: OMG YAY JADES IS BACK IN THE FANDOM!!!!!11!!!!!!1! Lol :) Seriously though, have fun with season 2 (and if you can, check out season 3, because it's awesome). Ooh, and Morocco looks lovely, I'm glad you had a nice time!

*g* Bless you, it's nice to be missed ;D

I've just finished S3 (*flapflailflap* OH GOOD GRIEF!!!!!) and am still loving it. I'm getting plot bunnies and stories and things, but because the fandom is so low-key, I don't feel any pressure to get them done quickly or stress about if they're 'good enough'. It's a nice feeling :)

Morocco was awesome, thanks. More pictures soon, I hope.

Ooh, and do you know where I can pick up good CM icons? Without wading through [livejournal.com profile] criminalxminds for the rest of time? ;D

:) Anytime!

I know, I still flail at random intervals at the brilliance of it - and of season four, which I've been sneakily watching online. As for your stories, I can't wait to read them, it's good to have you back *hugs*.

Ooh, more pictures, yay! It looks absolutely amazing.

I think there's an icon comm called "picture the crime" or something, but I'm not in it, so I'm not sure how much wading you'd have to do to find what you want. Try putting a request in cmficfinders, someone should be able to point you in the right direction :)

Hee. I should be honest at this point and say that J is the one who takes them. I just reap the rewards :D

Going round Morocco you have this constant feeling of walking through a postcard - it looks exactly like that. No enhancement required. It just *waves hands* You need photos to describe it, because words don't really cut it.
