tsukinofaeriiAnother "I LIVE DON'T LEAVE ME ALOOOOOOOONE" post lol. I have no idea where my will to babble went. Can I blame Holmsian fandom? I've been reading a lot of Holmes/Watson fics. Hm.
In RL, there's a few things happening. I turn another year older soon (awkward; will be less awkward if coworkers manage to forget the date). But I'll get my tax refund about the same time, so yay! (You! Money! Into savings! Okay, maybe some of you goes to bills, but the rest into savings! *cracks whip*) I'm due to upgrade my phone soon, and am considering this hot little number. I may get this baby instead, if I can get over my squirms of spending more on a phone than I do on my monthly car payment.
Work is running surprisingly smoothly, other than a few drama llamas,Turnitin being annoying and the usual intrigue. (eye roll) Seriously, students, if you go a month unable to login and don't tell anyone, do not expect me to be very supportive when you wind up in your Dean's office in tears. When I say, "I'm very sorry, but if you don't call we can't know there's a problem", just know that I am facepalming at you behind my phone. ♥
In fic, I'm selling out to the Blamevaltyr culture. I have signed up for two big bangs. This is all her fault!
For![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
comicsbigbang I'm doing the Amnesia Tony fic. That one's minimum is only 10k though, and the first check-in is end of February, so it's been shuffled a little. (pets it) After having written a bit of it though, I think I'm going to do it in first person. oO Which... IDK, it bugs me a bit. First person is hard. It's difficult to manage the details, and having an interesting voice is so so so so important, since you're basically staking your fic on your character's internal monologue being catchy. But third person would be doing the fic a disservice I think. :\
Forau_bigbang, I'm falling back on my love of cliché. Always a girl Ults Steve. \o/ This is interesting, in the "fighting the characters back with a spoon" sort of way. Seriously, Gail is stomping her foot dangerously close to my muse's head. She's a persistent sort; I've actually had to not write a scene because I couldn't think of a way to keep her from taking it over. YEEK. Jumbling up the opening/backstory for artistic reasons is going to be pain though. Le sigh.
Finally, to apologize for long silence, I give you all something truly amazing and a pony.

Date: 2010-02-02 05:33 pm (UTC)I'm only shopping for a calling plan of one, and I get an additional discount through work. Which is excellent, because Verizon is just about the only carrier that works within a 5 mile radius of my house. ._.;;
I made a Namora pony!
Date: 2010-02-02 05:34 pm (UTC)The colours are a little pastel for many superheroes. But it's still awesome.
sorry, out of the country, so your phone links take me to...
Date: 2010-02-02 05:35 pm (UTC)Ah, nice one for fic. My ficcing habits have been curtailed, alas. I'm doing merry marvels and trying to finish my comicbigbang but that's about it.

Date: 2010-02-02 05:45 pm (UTC)However, if I already had them and could get a discount, Verizon would be where I'd go. I'm sad I won't be getting the Droid though, I likey.

Date: 2010-02-02 05:46 pm (UTC)BUT I REALLY LOVE YOU FOR THE PONY THING. REALLY REALLY.

Date: 2010-02-02 06:22 pm (UTC)To be fair to the pony designer, I don't think I've ever seen a MLP in primary colors.

Ewww Motorolla
Date: 2010-02-02 06:35 pm (UTC)Alas, my contract doesn't expire until this summer, so I'm stuck with my silly LG until then. Once August lands here... its on like Donkey Kong, yo.
Re: O RLY
Date: 2010-02-02 06:37 pm (UTC)Doing a Google image search on "my little pony" primary colours, on page eight there's a picture of Cap. And a picture of slavegirl Princess Leia Pony captioned "oh god why does this turn me on". I love the internet.
Also getting urge to mod a pony. There's a sweet Batgirl...

Re: O RLY
Date: 2010-02-02 06:51 pm (UTC)I was just saying that in Mucca's journal the other day. There's been a canon Transformers crossover!
Re: O RLY
Date: 2010-02-02 07:04 pm (UTC)See, Steve!Pony was caught out in a terrible storm, so Tony!Pony put on his
magicaltechnological armor to go after him. But metal armor is a bad thing to wear in a thunderstorm, so they both end up trapped! OHNOEZ.Re: O RLY
Date: 2010-02-02 07:14 pm (UTC)ohnoez! Poor Tony!Pony. He didn't get struck by lightning, did he? He will find Steve!Pony and they can huddle for warmth.
...how does a pony makes armour with his hooves.

Date: 2010-02-02 07:32 pm (UTC)Droid scares me, it is looking into my soul.
I tend to cower at the sight of a touch screen (I hate those things) I think I would go for the Eris, I like it a little bit more.
Now, I wish I could give a constructive comment, but seeing as I hate cellphones alltogether, I think I'm not the right person for this.
On the other hand, I love the pony!!
Here! Have a suggestive Pony.
Date: 2010-02-02 07:49 pm (UTC)This pony scares me.
