Connection woes

[soulstar]

My broadband connection is down (some problem at my ISP's end that they're "working very hard on"), so I'm online via dial-up.  Wah!  Which means that I'm only zooming through, and now that I've grabbed my email, I'll be dropping back offline again.  Am hoping my proper connection will be back soon!  Grr.

I should probably use this offline time to finish editing my Life on Mars fic so that's it's finally post-able.  But then other people will see it!  Oh noes!  Lalalala, avoidance!  (Yes, I'll pull myself together and get it done in a minute.  I'm just having a idiotic five years minutes.  Don't mind me.)

And because I've really done sod all today, have a meme:

Swiped from kabukivice

Which of my icons:

1. is your favorite and why?
2. is your least favorite and why?
3. would you like some context for?
4. have you never noticed I even had before?
5. do you most associate with me?


... and I guess that's all from Post Every Day Week.  It was worryingly easy to post random crap every day!  I might even keep it up without having the meme as an excuse.  Well, maybe.  But I think I probably will start posting more frequently again.  It's been fun! :-)  Especially seeing regular posts from the others on my flist who were doing it too.

I should probably use this offline time to finish editing my Life on Mars fic so that's it's finally post-able. But then other people will see it! Oh noes! Lalalala, avoidance!

*g*

Oh yeah - avoidance sounds so tempting doesn't it?
*nudges carefully because wants to read fic ;-)*

That meme sounds like fun - here goes:

1. Ohh - that's difficult. I think I'll pick "Not sleeping anymore" - it's eerie and strangely captivating at the same time. Though "Whoo! Yay!", "Sam's arse", "Go to my room!", "Dead is quite serious", "Smiling David", "Emotionally cracked", "Ewww", "Dalek - the internets burns!", "Sheeep" and "Vulcan" are close behind. (I think I might have been ill the day they taught the "choose one" concept at school ...

2. Probably "ARGH!!!1!!" - though it is very effective.

3. Yarn ho!

4. I haven't known you for so long yet, so there are a few. I'll pick "Spaced"

5. The sheep one :-), because that was the one you used when I "met" you (and we discovered that we were both sheep ... fans.

*g* I did get off my bum (not literally, since I had to be sitting down to ... oh, never mind) and do the editing, and it is now with my beta again. *nibbles fingernails*

I think I might have been ill the day they taught the "choose one" concept at school ...
LOL, me too! This is probably why I have sooooo many icons. I am very fond of "Vulcan"... I think I've had it almost the whole time I've been on LJ! I'm pretty sure it was one of the very first I made.

2. Probably "ARGH!!!1!!" - though it is very effective.
It's a bit freaky, that one, isn't it? That's the point of it, though. *g*

3. Yarn ho!
Ah, OK. That icon is a picture of a small portion of my yarn stash. I relearned to knit a couple of years ago, and I've been addicted ever since. I have more yarn now that I can possibly use in the next ... oh, five years, at least. But still, I buy more because it's preeeeeeeetyyyyy. Hence, I am a complete yarn 'ho.

we discovered that we were both sheep ... fans.
Bwahaha! It's going to be "sheep ... fans" for ever more, isn't it? Hee! *vbg* (Baaaa!)

Ohh - knitting. I learned how to do that a few years ago too. Actaully, on second thought, it was ten years ago. I'm getting old :-P Anyway, I should dig my knitting needles out again and try to knit something easy. Like a scarf :-P

Oh yes, the sheep ... fans.

You know this one:

Doctor, Doctor, I swallowed a sheep, and now I feel so baaaaaaad.

*hides*

I've got a link to a 4th Doctor scarf pattern somewhere, if you want it!

Doctor, Doctor, I swallowed a sheep, and now I feel so baaaaaaad.

*headdesk*

[elen-ancalima.livejournal.com]

Ohhh ... yes please! That would be just the thing to get started on. Plus I'd get a cool Doctor's scarf out of it :-)

*freaks you out with yet another matching icon* (this is getting spooky now!!)

Blimey, since I last checked the site, it's got its own domain name! Here it is: DoctorWhoScarf.com.

I actually do Harry Potter scarves quite a lot - hand and machine knitted, but I haven't done a Who one yet. I should get on that!

*freaks out*

LOL

That's actually one of the very first icons I ever made. I should brush it up a bit :-D

[soulstar.livejournal.com]

Woah! And that icon is definitely freaky!

It's a great picture, though, that one. Hee!

[elen-ancalima.livejournal.com]

It is, isn't it? It's from the end of "The Doctor Dances".

[soulstar.livejournal.com]

Is it? Is it upside-down? *fascinated*

[elen-ancalima.livejournal.com]

Nope - it's when she's dancing with the Doctor, and she lets herself fall back (or however you should describe it). It's just a really short shot.

That's what I love about that icon - you can't quite tell what's happening or why she's upside-down :-D

Oh, oh, the dip! Hee, of course! Awesome :-)
