And I seriously wouldn't have remembered it (or even thought about it) if LJ didn't decide to send me a virtual gift to celebrate this journal's seventeenth anniversary today. It was sorta funny, the email I received read: "you've received a new virtual gift on your livejournal!" and my first thought was, "Wait, they're still doing those?" Then I checked and guess what? There's this big number 17 there on my virtual gifts page.

So thank you, LJ, for the lovely thought. Only, it's such a random number, don't you think? Seventeen. I don't recall ever receiving a v-gift for my tenth year, for example, which would have made sense. And again, why not wait for year twenty before sending a celebratory gift? Seventeen. Oh, well...

Considering this LJ was pretty much abandoned for the past 3 years, more or less, it's good to be remembered instead of purged. LOL

How is everyone? Assuming there's still people around here, of course. My life was completely and utterly taken over by my niece whom I'm helping raise, so if I tell you I don't have time to dawdle, I'm not lying. She's gonna be one year old in just 9 days (time is an incredible thing...) and we're organizing a little party for her, so even busier times ahead. Well, I say "little" party but in the end we should be 40 people! The little girl is popular, what can I say ;) As well she should be since she brightens up everybody's day even if they meet her for 5 minutes. Yes, I'm a proud and smitten auntie, why do you ask? Will stop talking about my niece now because I could go on forever.

Anyway, seventeen years ago today I created my account on LJ. It was a different world, it was a different life, and it was definitely a different me, but it's good to know those memories are still saved here and can be revisited.

#mylivejournal #lj18 #happybirthday

It's sort of amusing how LJ is celebrating itself in its 18th year right when everyone is thinking about leaving, or has left already. Not that there were still many people around, yours truly included, but still... our new overlords and their policies definitely didn't help. After more than 11 years of my presence here, it's becoming quite plain to me that this place isn't alive anymore. Heartbreaking.

I'm not quite sure how active I will be on Dreamwidth since I feel like I've lost a lot of my love for blogging, but I do have an account there and I just finished importing everything so it's all filled up and ready to go... took me 4 days to do it and if this isn't proof that basically every LJ'er is jumping ship I don't know what is.

Anyway, if you want to find me on Dreamwidth, I have the same username and I'm right here. Most of my stories are also uploaded on AO3, here, and the ones that aren't there will probably be soon, even if they make me cringe and I would rather not look at them again... LOL! Still, if the alternative is to lose them, I guess they'll be going up on AO3...

Mostly these days I'm over on Tumblr but you won't find anything personal in it since 99.9% of my Tumblr is made of reblogs. Of course, if you want to find me over there, too, just click here.

One last thing: even if I'm not active anymore, and I've imported everything over at DW, this journal will *not* be deleted. I have a permanent account, bought way way back in the day during a sale, and that means I can enjoy all the perks of a paid account without giving away a dime. Also, I'm not sure I will ever be able to actually press a button and delete this place *shudders*

So yeah, I might not be here that much but I am still here. And in all of those other places I linked so if you want to get in touch, please do :)

Posting on behalf of buzziecat who has been unable to access LJ all day. She keeps getting the Internal Server Error and there's no way for her to see her own journal. I checked it for her and it's there, safe and sound... I know there had been people lamenting the disappearance of their own LJs in recent times but Buzzie's journal is there.

This of course means there's some issue with LJ, and Buzzie wanted me to ask if anyone else is experiencing or has experienced issues recently. If you have any info, I'm sure she'll appreciate it, and I'll pass it on via email until she's able to come back on LJ.

Thank you!

It's been a while since my last post, or at least since I posted something other than a birthday wish or a picture or a "in memoriam" entry, so I thought to play catch up today. I've got used to the new trend of my LJ life which basically consists in skimming the f-list twice a day and posting only when I really feel like it, but this doesn't mean I don't miss the old LJ life. And with that my "this and that" posts. In bullet points, too, for good measure *g*

- I had the weirdest dream experience two nights ago. I had three different and very separate dreams which I don't remember at all (I guess you could say I have the general idea of them in my mind but not the details,) and that turned out to have a peculiar common thread: rice. Basically, in the first dream I distinctly remember cooking rice and leaving it on the stove to simmer, and then in the third dream I had this lightbulb that warned me about something being on the stove so I ran and found a pile of burnt rice. It's never happened before and it was so amusing! Cooking rice for as long as three dreams, apparently, is a good way to burn it *g*

- We had a health scare with Gwenda a couple of weeks ago and she had to undergo a procedure and be sedated, which is always risky for bulldogs, but luckily everything went well and she's now been given a clean bill of health. I swear for a few days I had this knot in my stomach whenever I thought about her, and you can imagine how anxious my sister was. Luckily, it's over and done now.

- Have been wanting to go to the cinema a lot lately but never had the chance to. Now my sister and I have found an Italian movie that we both want to see so, if everything goes according to plan, we're gonna go tomorrow evening and take a couple of girlfriends with us. Should be a "pizza and a movie" evening and I'm really looking forward to it so cross your fingers that the stars align and we get to go.

- Lately I alternate days when I have previously unheard of reserves of patience with days when the smalles thing can make me lose it. Rollercoasters have never been a surprise for me because I've always gone from happy to sad, peachy to angry, smile-y to teary, in the blink of an eye ever since I was a teen (moody is an understatement with me;) but I think it unsettles people nowadays to find that nothing tests my patience one day, and then the next I'm as impatient as anything. Wonder what might be the cause of this. Stress?

- I've been struggling with the idea of writing a post about all the TV shows I'm watching. On the one hand I always love gushing or ranting about TV, but otoh it makes me feel idiotic to write long posts just for myself because, well, I already know all that I have to say *g* I guess I'll end up writing it because once the idea is there it usually gets written, but the struggle is real ;)

- Speaking of TV, I can't believe people shouting from the rooftops about the revival of The X-Files being "not the series we remember!!!111!!!" It makes me wonder if these people really ever watched the old series. ( Spoilers for The X-Files.Collapse )

- I have fallen in love with Funko Pop dolls and soon I'll be in serious need of rehab. As of now I have 11 of them and I can't see myself stopping soon. I have Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham, I have Mulder and Scully, I have Sherlock, John and Mycroft, and then I have Daryl, Rick, Michonne, and Carol from TWD. I also have a wishlist on Amazon and there are 39 more dolls there.... *shifty eyes* I don't even have the available space to put them! I don't seem to care about little details like that though. Now I've decided not to buy and/or ask for more until July (my birthday) but I don't know how long this resolve will hold. They're just so cute!!!! Please send help...

- I wonder if the people who left us behind sometime stop to think back to us. If they think about things going in a different way, if they ever want to go back and talk more so that we could find a common ground. I do, but I'm not strong or brave enough to run forward towards them, stop them, and ask. Guess I'll never know.

In 2005 I sat in front of my computer and decided to stop stalking people's LJs to read Spangel fanfiction, I decided it was time to be practical and create a space where I could keep track of all the stories as easily as possible. After all, to have them all appear on my flist instead of having to go around and look for fics seemed like a good idea. That's how it all started... I cannot believe I'm still here 10 years later. I also can't believe how much this place evolved and how many wonderful people I met.

That evening, on October 21st 2005, I wrote just a few lines as my first entry, and while my English still makes me cringe to this day, I think that very first entry deserves to be re-posted right here, right now:

"Well, I'm new...
I'm Italian so sorry about my english...
I'm totally in love with SPANGEL fictions, what can I say...I adore those boys!
Totally yummy!!!
I'm a bit nervous you know? Hope to find lots of friends in the fandom. Shutting up now...we'll talk soon!

Kiss Kiss to everybody who might read this..."

Nobody read that, of course. I only later figured out that you needed to actually be friended to people for them to see your posts *g*

So guys, ten years. Can you believe it? I decided not to get sappy here and just simply thank the friends that have stuck around here since the beginning, the ones that arrived only recently, the ones that came and went, the ones that stumbled across a post or two, the lurkers, and the people that tried this place out and decided it wasn't for them. Thank you to each and everyone of you, because one way or the other you all made these ten years happen and shared a bit of the road with me.

Now, what I'm about to do here might end up in disaster for various reasons but I decided to go ahead and do it anyway. Hopefully it won't leave me broken and bleeding on the floor... lol! Yes, I'm a drama queen, is that news to you? *g*

To celebrate my tenth year on LJ I ask you to give me prompts: leave me a word, a concept, a picture, a quote, and I will try to write something for you based on that. As much as I'd like to try my hand at writing other pairings, this is going to be stressful enough for me without adding that so please, for my sanity, only request Brian/Justin fics.

Disclaimer: I might not be able to write one single word - the Muse isn't exactly friendly these days - but I promise to try my best. Filled prompts will be posted as a reply to your comment and will be unbetaed.

If you feel like celebrating with me or if you just don't feel like leaving me here alone staring at an empty comment section, come and play. Who knows, it might be fun! What could possibly go wrong? Lol!

Happy tenth anniversary, aschicca's LJ! ♥

ETA: And of course LJ decides to be unavailable to me for the entire day.. today! Maybe the Universe is trying to tell me something here. Who knows if this post will even be visible anywhere??

I wonder what it means that, as soon as I decide to post daily for a while, LJ goes down and it's practically inaccessible for me for hours. Are you trying to tell me something, LJ?

Anyway, I found this 10 Days TV-related meme and I thought it would be a nice compromise for me: it will allow me, more or less, to write something about TV shows just like I wanted, and it'll come in handy with my "let's post more for a while" idea. Plus, 10 Days memes are less demanding that 30 Days ones ;)

10 Days TV-related meme: ( It's sort of a countdown meme so we'll start with Ten...Favorite male characters.Collapse )

I think I've decided to post more on LJ. I suppose it's the summer and my long standing tradition of memes during this season. Or maybe I simply decided I wanted to play on LJ again *shrugs* Whatever the reason, I can see a few days of posting in my future. I'll start tomorrow with a 10 Days meme and then we'll see if I'll still be in the same mood afterwards.

For tonight, I wanted to share a dress by Rani Zakhem Haute Couture F/W 2013:



I might actually be a little bit in love with this work of art *nods*

Until tomorrow then :)

Wow, is this place empty or what? I swear in the past 10 days my friends page has stayed mostly the same. The most I can get to when I skip posts is 20 or 30. In *10* days. It's kind of unsettling...

Now, it's not like I can claim to be very active either but why post something when you know that no one's around to chat about whatever that something is? I thought to write about a few things these past weeks but never got around to it for this very reason. A post about TV shows is in my thoughts, as is one about fandom, but I feel like it's almost pointless to put it out there *shrugs*

So where is everyone at these days? I don't have Twitter and I don't want one, but I am on Tumblr so if you play out there give me a username and I'll come follow you. I'm silverjulymoon over there.

So what's new with me, let's see. I've spent a weekend in Milan for the First Communion of my sister's best friend's son, and I had a very good time. Visited with old friends, met new ones and were surrounded by no less than 12 kids every single day I was there... okay so maybe the latter wasn't that great... lol! Nah, those kids were loud but adorable.

I also had a wonderful time at a friend's baby boy's first birthday (I'm always surrounded by kids lately... wonder what that means.) There was a guy with a karaoke machine there. I let you imagine how *that* went ;)

I've worked on something I'm very proud of, I've been trying to be a little less angry at life in general, and I've also been trying to let things slide and not take anything too personally anymore.

Last night, for the first time in forever, I've dreamed about Queer as Folk. I've already had one friend tell me I should write fanfic about it but it's not happening. What I'd like to do, though, is share the dream. If anyone's around, I'd love to hear your thoughts about it (or maybe someone else would like to write this?) ( QaF dream.Collapse )

That's it from me. Whatever you're doing, wherever you are, I hope things are going well for you.

I just realized that I don't use the tags on Tumblr the same way I do with LJ. The tags on LJ are a useful tool that I need to go back and find things I posted in the past. On Tumblr, otoh, I just talk and talk and talk for ages not in the actual post I reblog, but in the tags. No idea why I do that but it became apparent when I wanted to play the same tag-game I played on Tumblr the other night here on LJ, too, and I wasn't able to.

The game was: Type the following words into your tags box, then post the first automatic tag that comes up: you, also, what, when, why, how, look, because, never

Half or more of these are missing from my LJ tags, whereas on Tumblr I go the most amusing set of tags possible! It actually looked like I was commenting something very slashy done by some character or other... what a surprise, uh? LOL!

Here's my Tumblr result: you adorable dork, also, WHAT IS THIS FUCKERY??, when canon sucks, WHY WOULD ANYONE THINK THAT, HOW CAN YOU, LOOK AT HIS FACE, because this is not gay at all, never another like it.

Yeah, I know, this is so pointless I shouldn't even be writing it down but I found it both amusing and weird that I randomly decided to use tags in a completely different way from what I was used to in the past, plus the game was hilarious and I was bummed it couldn't be played here on LJ, too, so there you have it.

Oh, and since I'm randomly throwing things out there... found this on FB yesterday and it describes me so accurately it's actually scary: ( behind the cut 'cause this post is already too long.Collapse )

You know how I'm usually bitching at LJ for one thing or the other? How lately I'm lamenting the loss of "the past" and how much I miss having more than 10 posts a day to read on my f-list? And how I'm, admittedly, as bad as anyone else since 80% of my time online is spent on Tumblr nowadays?

Well, all that's true and everything but do you want to know what day is it today? It's a birthday. My LJ's birthday and it's its ninth year of "life". Nine years. How did *that* happen? So yeah I've sidelined it a bit, and it's become a desert, and things are fucked up at times but... nine years of LJ mean so much to me.

The best part? This also means that I've known some of you for almost a decade. Can you believe it? Some of my RL friendships didn't last that long! LOL! I've been so blessed to meet (in a few cases personally, too,) people who've become true friends for me and without whom I couldn't imagine my life. Some of you helped me so much through the years and you're still doing it, still always willing to listen and help and send virtual hugs.

And that's it, you see? That's why LJ will always be my home even if I'm cheating on it or bitching at it: because without it I'd never have met people like you who are the best friends anyone could ask for.

So thank you for these past nine years! Love you all ♥

Had such a weird dream last night and this in itself is a miracle since I didn't sleep all that well. I just kept waking up every two hours... *sighs* Must remember to drink less water in the evenings. Anyway, the dream was about Sherlock: for some unknown reason, there was a new episode of Sherlock available. It had aired on a random October Sunday and I was so surprised because I didn't remember any fuss being made about it beforehand: no advertising, no "setlock", no spoilers to avoid or posts about people being excited for it. Nada. Still, there was a new episode and I had it on my computer ready to watch so I surely wasn't complaining. I pressed play and this is where things got weird. ( Cutting 'cause it might get long.Collapse )

In other news, did anyone around here see the premiere of The Walking Dead? Talking about starting with a bang, am I right? I basically forgot to breathe for the entire 42 minutes of the episode and was hyperventilating by the end! So many emotions in so little time! Rollercoaster of an episode.

Oh, and since this is basically a random post with random thoughts written randomly, let me change the subject completely and ask: are you guys getting all your notifications from LJ? I realize more and more comments or PMs go unseen by me because I never get notified for them. I never thought to check the inbox regularly because I do receive, I'd say, 90% of the notifications but it's happened frequently lately that I stumble across comments (and even PMs!) that I never knew were there. So is this a thing for anyone else?

To conclude, I found this gif on Tumblr some time ago and I sent it to a friend just this morning for a laugh. It's perfect to describe me... ( Me and exercising...Collapse )

Have a nice week, f-list!

To the "extremely nice" anon who saw fit to comment on my last post and call me rude: I'm going to answer to you in a post because, being anon, there's no way you'll get the notification should I simply reply to your comment.

You wrote, "This is rude. What? So you're not ordinary? You're above all that? If you're so good and don't get upset by a long haitus more power to you. Us 'ordinary' ppl can be upset. So rude you are."

Now, I realize belatedly that not everyone is familiar with BBC "Sherlock" - the mind boggles... *g* - so my bad for assuming. I blame it on Tumblr since 98% of my dash and my own blog are about Sherlock over there so I've got used to Sherlock-related jokes being the norm.

My intention was not to be rude in my last post, I simply wanted to point out how my own view of things changed since I became a fan of Sherlock. The show, since it's obvious you, oh anon who doesn't know what you're missing, aren't familiar with it, airs its 3-episodes-long seasons every 2 years and this means that it's on hiatus longer than it's actually on the air. We get three weeks every two years and that's about it. We've had 3 seasons so far and that makes it 9 episodes. Nine episodes in 5 years.

I used to get upset, too, when shows I follow and love went on hiatus for 3, 4 or even 6 months but Sherlock changed that. I seriously can't find it in me anymore to get depressed when a show with 13 or 16 or 22 or even 24 episodes goes off the air for a couple of months. I think the reason for it it's apparent, wouldn't you say, nonny?

The other night I was feeling silly (boy did I regret posting when I was in that kinda mood! Thanks for that, anon!) so when I read of people being so very upset that a show was going to be put on a long (matter of perspective....) hiatus, I remembered a gif I'd saved long ago and thought it would be so very witty to post it and make fun of my own desperate self who still needs to wait one year for a Christmas special and 18 months (hopefully) for *3* new episodes.

I posted a gif where Moriarty (I'm assuming you're familiar with the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle therefore I don't have to explain who Moriarty is, do I?) said that line in the actual show, "Aren't ordinary people adorable?"

I wasn't trying to put myself on a pedestal there. I wasn't trying to imply that people who are upset to have to go for months without their show are ordinary while I'm so superior since I don't get upset. Far from it! I'm the queen (drama queen?) of upset fans! I am constantly upset because my show is never on the air!

I thought it was clear, and apparently it wasn't, that I was making a joke over how long one has to wait because of a hiatus. As a fan of Sherlock, as a person who has to wait *years* for her show to return, I was sarcastically saying, "6 months? Come on! I'm waiting two years here!! I clearly win!"

Was it idiotic? Sure it was. Was it childish? Maybe. Would it had been better if I'd kept my big mouth shut? Certainly. But was it intended as snotty and superior? NO.

And one last thing, nonny: being rude while reprimanding someone for their apparent rudeness isn't very effective in my humble opinion. Just a thought.

We've had the craziest summer ever here in Italy. July was the coldest it'd been in 50 years (and I LOVED it to bits *g*) and August is alternating days when the heat is so unbearable I want to die (today being one of them, unfortunately,) to days when the weather feels more like Springtime weather than anything else. And this just in the lower half of our country because the other half? It's been under heavy rain and cold weather for the best part of the month. Lucky bastards... LOL!

Showtime renewed "Masters of Sex" for a third season! I was SO worried they were going to axe it since ratings haven't been great but they renewed it! Yay!! Seriously, people, if you're not watching this show, you're wrong *nods* This show has a fascinating, engaging plot based on a real-life story, incredible performances, a diverse cast, dynamic side characters, hot sex scenes, intelligent writing... I cannot, for the life of me, understand why more people aren't watching it.

I was looking for a new story to read on AO3 the other day and I noticed something I'd never seen before and that made me realize how times have changed. Under the summary for the fic, the author had felt the need to add a note directed to Graham Norton and every other journalist who worked in entertainment media where she kindly informed them that they did not have her permission to share bits of her fiction or to even mention it to the cast of the show in which fandom she was writing in. If you ask me, the day when someone feels the need to write something like that is a sad day indeed. There is a fourth wall, and it should not be broken EVER. I wonder why this person didn't think to include a note directed to certain fans, too, since some people lately feel the need to rec and/or share links to fics with actors....

You know when you intensely dislike someone (yeah, ok, let's say hate someone...) and you seriously think you couldn't hate them more if they tried? Well, Hal Sparks keeps trying and boy is he able to bring my hate to whole new levels! This sad, pathetic little ant accepted a nomination to do the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge and thought it would be a great idea to nominate Gale - and this alone proves that this idiot can always stoop to new lows - and describe him as "great actor/bad motorcyclist." Nothing more sad than a pathetic idiot who thinks himself funny when no one is laughing. UGH!

Speaking of the Ice Bucket Challege, though, so many *awesome* videos are surfacing! Benedict has also been nominated for it and his best friend tweeted yesterday saying that the video of him accepting the nomination is coming. Can't wait!!

I wouldn't want to end on a sour note but... you know what I miss? The old days here on LJ when people were still around and I had more than 2-3 new posts a day to read on my f-list. I guess it's just the way it is; people move on and nothing stays the same. Still, those were the days and I miss them...

Tomorrow's Friday so happy weekend, people.

Sometimes you're lucky enough to meet people who will become true friends. You may not talk daily, face to face or by email, but you know perfectly well that when you'll get in contact again it will be like no time passed. These people are able to make you feel better just by reminding you that they're thinking of you, with a phone call or a text message. With a PM or an email. They're just there, you know? They are and I know that. I feel that.

A few of these people I met here on LJ and at least two of them won't ever see this post because they're not around anymore. They are still present in my life, though, and that proves my point perfectly. They're with me even if they're miles away.

So I guess what I wanted to say to them - you know who you are - here and now is: thank you. I love you ♥

Sent feedback to LJ about the new design and guess what? I heard back from them!

Here's what I said:
"Please can you not do this? Or give a permanent opt out option for people who don't like this new format (basically everyone)? Grey font on a white background isn't easy on the eyes; the hidden v-gifts bother me to no end; I have no idea where things are now.... how do I upload a new userpic? Where is the button to reach the scrapbook? Why do I have to have a whole column for statistics if it means the info I actually care about are all cramped up to the left and there's this huge white space on the right given that the stats are seriously not that many?

Who thought this was a good idea?"

And this is the answer:
"Thank you for taking the time to contact us; we've made a note of the feedback you've provided about the redesigned site and forwarded it to the appropriate personnel.

Regards,
LiveJournal Community Care"

I suppose the mere fact that they read my note and passed it on should count as a victory? Although, I'm not sure how "appropriate" this personnel is if they're the one who thought up this new design!

Alright, bedtime for me. Nighty night, everyone.

This has been on my mind for some time and today I'm suddenly in the right mood for it: in a short while I'll be doing a friends' cut. Mostly it'll be people I don't talk to anymore or that I haven't seen around in ages, and it'll definitely include journals and communities that I feel have been abandoned (even if they belong to people I still miss around here...). No hard feelings, just a matter of personal comfort!

Most of my posts are public anyway so no biggie for anyone I remove. Oh and if you find you've been removed, either by mistake or for a reason you don't know about, and want to be added back... comments are open in this post so let me know :)

Happy weekend, everyone!

ETA: Cut done :)

On January 2nd 2013 I decided to challenge myself: I would post one or more recs every Monday for a whole year. To be completely honest, I never thought I would actually do it. I thought I'd get tired, forget about it, or just get plainly bored with having to post something every Monday. Miracle of miracles - even if I admit it was hard sometimes, especially when I wasn't feeling very talkative - I did it! I posted a rec every week for a whole year. I'm kinda proud of myself for keeping up with this project *nods*

So, before I link you back to all the recs divided by fandom, let me thank everyone who was so kind to comment on one of these Rec-a-Monday posts: thank you for leaving a word, thank you for sharing your thoughts on a particular fic, thank you if you read and commented on a fic I recced (I'm sure it made some talented Author's day to receive your words,) and thank you for talking to me and letting me know if you enjoyed something I recced. This project wouldn't have been the same without all of you ♥

Now, if you missed something or if you would like to go back and take a peek to my year of recs, here's where you can find everything:

Recs for Queer as Folk US - find them all HERE.

Recs for Merlin - find them all HERE.

Recs for Sherlock - find them all HERE.

Recs for Btvs – Spangel - find them all HERE.

Recs for Oz - find them all HERE.

Recs for Star Trek 2009 - find them all HERE.

Aaaaaand.... this is it, I guess. See you tomorrow for the end of the year post :)

Dear Lord I *hate* the people on ONTD so much! And I don't use the word "hate" lightly, believe me, but those people... is that community populated only by vicious, awful, disgusting, hurtful people??

I am so glad I never did join the community and therefore am not allowed to comment on their posts. I just want to throttle them all!!!



*breathes* Ok, I feel better now. I'll let you go back to your weekend :)

Just watched the season finale of The Vampire Diaries and let's just say that if I were either Joss Whedon or David Greenwalt I'd sue the pants off Julie Plec and her crew. Seriously, [Spoiler (click to open)] if you're familiar with the final scene of Angel season 3, you won't need to watch the end of this episode of TVD. Unbelievable.

In other news, LJ is back! *clings*

Life is not being too good to me lately. The ankle refuses to heal, my mom's mental state is getting worse, bad things are happening to people I care about... 2013 is proving to be a very difficult year. I find myself wanting to hybernate for a few months and wake up when things improve. Anybody knows of a button I can press to do just that?

LJ is very dead nowadays, both literally and figuratively. More often than not I get error messages (and how creepy is that goat?) when I try to open a page, and when I'm able to get on there's no one around anyway. Maybe that's the reason why I'm on Tumblr 99% of the time when I'm online. That and the need for distraction from RL that pretty pics and gifs provide so well.

Drama queens are getting on my nerves. If I'll explode and tell one of them off sooner or later do not be surprised, ok?

I find myself wanting to post something about many of the TV shows I'm watching but as soon as I come here and open a tab to do that... I change my mind and close it up again. Anyway, such a post may be in my future (or not, of course...) so consider this fair warning.

Speaking of TV, that finale of Revenge blew me away. Tons of huge cliffhangers that left me thinking, "How can I wait four months to know what happens?" Then, while I was still thinking that, I opened Tumblr and the first thing I saw there was a gif about Sherlock and.... yeah, four months? Piece of cake.

Being a fan of Benedict Cumberbatch these days is awesome. He's everywhere, doing everything, being praised right and left for his enormous talent and his amazing voice and presence. I'm so proud and happy :)

Gale got a new project, too. Very happy to hear he's working! And speaking of Gale, did anyone watch Defiance yesterday? Was Gale in it then? Do you happen to have a link to his scenes if he indeed was in the episode? I don't watch the series, not interested, but I'd love to see our boy in it so if you know of a video (maybe on youtube) with his scenes, please share.

Hope everyone's having a good day and if you happen to be around... hi!
