Morning

Urgh! I'm really tired despite going to bed pretty early. I dreamt about Lost. Probably because the Season 1 finale was on just before I went to bed

Downloading 210 now. I'm not going to check my flist until tonight just to avoid the risk of being spoiled. Hope everyone who got to see it last night enjoyed it

Fic

Our computer system has been down since I got to work so I did something productive and finished my Gillington fic. LOL.

I still haven't managed to find a beta for it so I guess I'll just post it as it is. Will type it up tonight.

Better work on my VigBean next or Viggo will be upset with me some more

(no subject)

Despite the fact we've been told the computer system will be down all day, and we can't do any work without it, we've been told we won't be sent home. We have to just sit around or clean the office or something

I might set up a filter so I can read my flist without getting spoiled for Lost

*wails*

I've set up a filter so I can read my journal without risking spoilers for Lost

Loads of people are squeeing about it

I want to watch nooooooooooooooooooow!

Meme

( All about me )

Am I scary

Apparently all of flickums's friends are scared of me because my LJ is filled with squeeing and slash.

These are people who meet up and beat each other up with big rubber swords. And I'M the scary one?

I'm not really scary? Am I?

Another meme

I was tagged by drbillbongo ages ago so now is as good a time as any to do it

Ground Rules: The first player of this "game" starts with the topic "5 Guilty Pleasures" and people who get tagged need to write an LJ entry about their 5 Guilty Pleasures as well as state this rule clearly. In the end, you need to choose the next 5 people to be tagged and list their names.

1. Soap Operas. I know they're crap but I just can't help myself. Especially Eastenders
2. MacDonalds. Not a healthy ingrediant in them but SO yummy
3. Trashy novels. Sometimes you just need to read something that doesn't involve thinking
4. Pop music. Some of my musical tastes are dubious at best. See Busted.
5. Chocolate (although not any more *wails)

I shall tag: jacqui_hw, otw1980, flickums, supernaturalhel, authoressnebula

And another one

Nicked from rosebud81

You post a topic, list, category, whatever, in my comments section. (examples: "5 Sexiest Things About Jake Gyllenhaal" or "Top 5 things to drink"). Then, in a separate post, I'll post the answers to all your Top 5 ideas, according to me. Then you post this offer in your own journal.

Come on, I need to do something to amuse myself. At the moment Sean and Viggo are refusing to shag and are insisting they have a fight first *sigh*

Don't you just hate it when characters take on a life of their own ;)

10 mins and I can go home. WHEE!

TTFN

Right, I can go home now. It's been an interesting day. It's not every day you can spend your whole time at work surfing online and writing fanfic

Maybe the system will still be down tomorrow *g*

Now, I have Lost to watch *squees*

Lost

( Lost 210. OMG!WTF? )

Goddamn I love this show!

Huh

Just won Mod's Choice at bean_stillness for this icon



2 icon awards in one week. Did I suddenly get good or something? LOL

More Lost

( Spoilers for the promo for next week )

Top 5 #1

bogwitch wanted my Top 5 pirates (Real ones)

1. Francis Drake. Not many think of him as a pirate but technically he was
2. Anne Bonny. Yeah, a kickass female pirate
3. Mary Read. Can't have Anne without Mary
4. William Kidd. Gave a great speech before they hanged him
5. Edward Teach. Probably the most famous pirate. Known as Blackbeard to most
