I can haz weekend?

It's been a funny morning and it's not quite 9am:

~ I had one of those nights where you dream so much that you feel you've been up all night, and I finally made myself wake up at 4.30 just to get some rest.

~ For unfathomable reasons, I've had "Ode to Billie Joe" stuck in my head, which considering I can't get the lines in the right order is getting annoying.

~ I did a proper double take on the road just outside work when a weird elevated van drove past. That's the only way I can think of describing it - the chassis was obviously too big for the body work, and the wheel arches were about a foot about the tyres. The whole thing looked like a refugee from Scrapheap challenge and very out of place in the middle of Oxford.

~ I have a new handbag! It's big enough to fit my netbook as well as all my handbag gubbins in, it's smart enough for work and only cost £4.50. I love Oxford charity shops \o/

~ My Bobby!fic, which was supposed to be a short little background piece has morphed into a 3700 word monster, and I haven't got to the action yet. BREVITY FAIL!

~ bau_bigbang is almost ready to opening \o/ \o/

~ I have so many links for you, as well as some to post to my library blog, but for now, have a Star Trek/A-Team mashup (which I might have posted before but is still worth seeing) and Poetry at Tech, videos of contemporary poets reading their work. Not my kind of thing, but I know some of you are more into poetry than me.

~ *scuffs feet on ground* I'm kind of shy about asking this, but. Would one of you who's got actual graphic skills (as opposed to my pretend ones which mostly consist of pressing buttons in Picasa to see what happens) have the time to make me an icon? I just want one with text that says Hardcore Gen Ficcer in whatever format you think looks pretty. It'd take me hours, whereas I get the feeling that it's a five minute job if you know what you're doing. I have nothing to offer except unending gratitude and the credit, of course *puppy eyes*

*BOUNCE* I HAZ ICONZES! With huge thanks to caersmane for mad graphics skillz.

~ Am watching The Mentalist and kind of enjoying it. I'll probably put something in that_other_show about it later.

~ ETA: Gmail have sorted out the pesky 'inbox' problem, thank goodness. That's better.

~ DID I MENTION THAT IT'S FRIDAY?!?!?!?!?!

FRIDAY!!!!!!!!

And it's Friday NIGHT here now, so double woohoo!!

Re: Icon. Colours? Does it matter? I'm making you this icon. Because you are my Gen fic refuge person, and you must have this icon. I'll even do it before I start the next vid that omphale hit me on the head with. Later today I'm thinking :) Don't worry if you can't get back to me/have no preference, I'll just make several in that case and you can take any you like. \o/

I CANNOT WAIT FOR FRIDAY NIGHT!!! This is evidenced by the way I keep falling asleep at the computer ;)

Enjoy *twirls you*

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Woo hoo! Thank you so much! I am hopeless at knowing what will look good on an icon and what won't, so I will just trust you and look forward to what you come up with :D

THANK YOU! *bounces*

[in-the-bottle.livejournal.com]

*twirls*

So you can wake up a bit... :D

[caersmane.livejournal.com]

Take all/any/one/none :) Hope that suits you. If not, tell me and I will try and come up with something else. \o/

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*flaps like a flappy thing*

I love them all, and #3 in particular :D They're all going in my 'icons to rotate' file, so expect to see them cropping up soon.

I really can't thank you enough - they're awesome. Seriously. I don't break out the bouncy elephant for just any old comment...

\o/

[wildcat88.livejournal.com]

Oh, shiny! May others partake of the goodness? If these are for jades only, I'll understand.

[wildcat88.livejournal.com]

Yay for Friday!! *happy dances* I'm SOOOO ready.

I love The Mentalist! Simon Baker has a terrific balance of quirky and wounded.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

[You're welcome to share as far as I'm concerned, but I'll leave the final decision to Caers :)]

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Friday is good.

I've only seen 2 episodes of The Mentalist, so it feels a bit soon to judge. At the moment I love the character but I'm not so sure about the show...

[caersmane.livejournal.com]

Eee! Bouncy elephant! It makes me grin whenever I see it :D \o/

Edit: Also YAY I am glad you like them.

[caersmane.livejournal.com]

As long as it's ok with Jades, since they are for her (and from her comment below it looks like it is), you are welcome to them. I don't post icons that aren't for sharing, I don't care if you credit or not, just don't say you made them :) Take, share.

[wildcat88.livejournal.com]

Eep! Thank you!! I shall certainly give all credit to you since I haz no skilz. Consider #1 snurched!

[wildcat88.livejournal.com]

The show itself is a little uneven, but there are a couple of eps that are really fantastic. Be sure to watch the one where he's having to deal with a female psychic. His reaction at the end is perfect.

What fandom is Bobby!Fic for?

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*grin* It's turning into an epic SPN fic...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Oooh! *bounces* YAY! SPNfic has claimed another soul!! There's a Bobby comm too btw once you get this postable (which I don't think is a word, but you know what I mean). Let me know if I can help. I'll be in and out all day, but when I'm home I'll be at the computer working on my SGA genficataton thing- I finally got an idea for it.

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*slightly hysterical laughter* I'm wondering if I'm ever going to get it finished since I'm only adding a few hundred words a day at the moment, but I'll send it along when it's done, probably around Monday/Tuesday next week. pwcorgigirl has also plugged singer_salvage to me, so yup, it'll go there when it's done. Assuming it's postable...

Ooh, cool! I'm around for the next 2 hours or so on email if you want to throw things at me ;D

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I'll be in and out Mon/Tues too, but will certainly be able to look at it.

Not sure when I'll get enough done on the SGA thing for you to look at- will you be around this weekend a little?

[mad-jaks.livejournal.com]

I gots beaten to it.
*waves it at you anyway*

*comes to see what caersmane did*

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

Not sure at the moment - we'll be in and out but probably around tomorrow night. Parents'-in-law on Sunday, so maybe late in the evening, but definitely first thing Monday morning. Anyway, if I know it's coming, I'll *make* the time :) Let me know if you just need someone to talk at in the meantime :D

[jaks-mad.livejournal.com]

Simon Baker will get you every time.... Just sayin'

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*grabby hands* I like this one too!

...

I'm allowed two Gen Ficcer icons, right? *looks shifty*

[jaks-mad.livejournal.com]

#3 gets my vote too :D
