Gnr. Have training today from eleven to one. Do. Not. Want. Bleeeergh. And okay, boys who sound like they're the same age as my baby brother do not get to give me lip, dammit. I know what I'm talking about here, biatch, shut up and do as I say instead of arguing that you know better what the problem is. If you know what the problem is, why are you calling me? Yeahk, that's what I thought. Arse.

No lunch box picture again because again I'm an idiot. Oh, well. It's mostly the same as yesterday anyway, except instead of pasta I have cheese and onion pastries. Mmmmm.

More Three Interests And Three Icons memeage! First batch from photonegative:

Cable/Deadpool: The only good thing to ever (vaguely) come from Rob (*hack, spit*) Liefeld. I love Cable & Deadpool, because there is snark, and there is so much deliberate subtext you could drown in it if you're not careful, and LOVE!

Hating Horatio Caine: CSI: Miami's lead character is a tool. I have never seen a full episode of this show because no matter how hard I try, the first time he takes off his sunglasses and starts pontificating and chewing the scenery and angsting, I'm reduced to snarling "Shut up, Horatio" at the screen, and less than a minute later, the snarling has devolved into yelling. Haaaaaate!

Nail varnish: Because even butch dykes like me like to paint their nails pretty colours sometimes. :D

When the Revolution comes, you will be first against the wall. :D The Glorious Leader Melle thing has been an in-joke for, er, years now, possibly dating back to something like 1999 or so and oh god, I'm old. Anyway, yes. This is my icon for talking about politics, because I am a pinko commie socialist with a penchant for wanting to overthrow the governement. The picture is of my younger brother (right) and I, aged respectively about seven and five, I think.

This is from Joss Whedon's run on x-Men. The scene, IIRC, is earlyish morning, and Kitty and Emma are fighting and bitching at each other while everyone else tries to ignore them. This is Hank walking into the room, not in the mood to deal with this when non-caffeinated. Awww.

Before I finally moved to Tech Support, I'd been in my CS position with the same client for nearly two years. Due to high turnover rates (the next most experienced person after me had been there just over six months) and a complete lack of knowledge base, for the last six months of that, my brain was the de facto knowledge base, so people were constantly asking me about procedures, etc. Which i didn't mind, really, but I wanted to be able to eat lunch at my desk without being accosted from all directions. Hence, I made up this sign. This side shows when I'm logged in, the other side ("The All-Knowing Oracle is ON BREAK") is for when I'm on breaks and don't want to be bothered. It worked pretty well, actually.

Second batch, from dazzy:

Ancient Rome: I'm a history geek, and Ancient Rome has a special place in my heart, if only because I took Latin for six years, and the history bits of the curriculum were the only reason ever passed, gah. I'm especially fond of the Roman Republic -- no Empire for me, no sirree! -- and its political machinations and stuff. Fascinating!

Gauloises: My cigarette of choice. Specifically, Gauloises rolling tobacco, which is heavy and strong and hardcore and this is why no one ever pinches a ciggie off me twice, sigh.

Marcus Flint/Lee Jordan: My HP Secret Pairing of Shame. I blame kaitoujeanne, who wrote a drabble for them, possibly inspired by the HP Random Pairing Generator(?), and it was wonderful and dark and achy in all the right places, and that was ... god, what, five years ago now? And it hasn't left me since. I get obsessive like this sometimes, and it doesn't help that the pairing involves My Boy Lee, either. Then again, it's hardly the Most Random Pairing Ever -- at least they're both from the same canon, unlike, say, Tim Bayliss and Fox Mulder, which was a pretty weirdly popular pairing back in the day.

I'm a role playing geek, and like any good tabletop geek, I loves me my dice. Which reminds me, I should buy some more, I've lost several from my complete sets, hrmpf.

More than ten years in fandom leaves a girl bitter and cynical. You damn kids, get off my lawn! *shakes cane*

Ah, the Pit of Voles. I know I'm setting myself up for a world of pain whenever I go there, and yet, every few months, usually at three in the morning, I find myself trolling the Pit for stories because the rest of the internet isn't giving up the goods. Sigh.

Third batch, from commieprincess:

Cable/Deadpool: See above. :D

Hating Horatio Caine: See above. :D

Spelling my interests correctly: Exhibit A. The prosecution rests, your honour. (What? I'm allowed to be a snob, dammit!)

Awww, baby Cable. Crop of this cover from the arc where Cable (for plot reasons I've already completely forgotten) gets regressed to infanthood and then grows up again really quickly. I love baby!Cable, he's so cute and pudgy, but still has his powers, so you really don't want to make him cry. :D Although my favourite is the next one. Wee!Cable and his Deadpool plushie make my ovaries hurt! Also, I want a DP plushie, but that's neither here nor there.

Bible references, obviously. Four variations on "Love your neighbour as you love yourself," aka the second most important commandement (the first one being "Love God") according to Jesus himself, and yet the one that gets overlooked most often by the fundies. Get out of my religion, etc. Gah.

From Manic Graffiti, a WoW-related webcomic. I needed a food-related icon, and I love the Hordelings, so the choice was easy. :D

I love your icon so very much!

Is it not fabulous? I wanted to take hust one of the single-frame ones, but I couldn't choose. They're all so very true! :D

Hating Horation Caine!! I'm sooooo with you on that! I cannot watch that bloody show. Every intro there he is, swaying in the picture, taking off his sunglasses and quoting some awful awful unfunny pun. He's not Gil Grissom, he can't pull it off. Aaaaargh!

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Seriously! What happened to David Caruso, dammit? I liked him in NYPD Blue, and now the very sight of him makes me want to throw things at the TV!

My sister loves CSI NY. So does my mother. And they just look at me funny when I rey to explain the horror that is Horatio Caine. Sob.

If you find out where to get a Deadpool plushie, lemme know. :)

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

CSI:Miami, love. CSY:NY is fine. :D

I'm highly tempted to commission one of the seamstresses I know to make me one, sigh.

(Also, icon! Whee! *matches*)

[ruby-fruit.livejournal.com]

...I meant that one. Stupid fingers.

Do it!

(Aww. Also, I miss Thump! *pokes**)

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

I'm waiting for my landlord to come and check out the damage from the Big Massive Leak, then I'll get on Thump! (Am on Kaiilen solo'ing ZF right now for enchanting supplies and cloth to sell. :)

[ruby-fruit.livejournal.com]

Eeee, hope the damage is not completely horrifying.


(I am...making coffee, be on ina sec. :P)
