Teen Girl Squad: 33 Variations on a Theme
Squee! Sian made another Watch quiz! And whose art did she use? Moni’s Angua, Sybil, and Vetinari, Sannali’s Cheery, and Faith’s Vimes!
It’s a small fandom.

::gasps:: She’s alive! She’s okay! Holy cow, that was scary. Sian, webmistress of Bucked Up, hadn’t updated in over a year, leaving her blog a 404 and essentially vanishing from the internet. I was just getting to know her at the time, but some of her close friends on the net didn’t even know where she was. After a while, we started to fear the worst. And then suddenly, three days ago, she updates again. And now it seems that she’s been updating her LJ, which I thought I had friended… Gah, craziness and confusion. But good to see that she’s okay.
Hee! Couldn’t resist!

The “Four Truths and a Lie” Meme! — try to spot which statement is false!
- As a child, my two greatest fears were parrots and elevator doors.
- I have eaten chicken feet.
- My only other crush on a non-fictional/non-celebrity person was at the age of 8, on a family vacation to the Bahamas. He was seven, and he looked remarkably like Macullay Culkin.
- I have only ever finished two fanfics in my life.
- There was a time where I could wear the same shoes as my dad.
Listen to Tig-tag and be reduced to a quiverring, swooning blob of fangirlish jelly. That boy’s accent… mmmm, Billeh. ::happysigh::
It’s nice to take time off to indulge in fangirlish delights. In addition listening to these lovely Billy Boyd sound clips, I downloaded “Goldeneye” and just watched the Alan Cumming bits (and a bit of Famke Janssen so I could laugh at her). His smile ::dies::. (And it occurred to me that Alan’s character, Boris Grishenko, looks remarkably similar to how I imagine Ponder Stibbons.) And man, that boy is versatile.
I’m so glad I don’t know anyone IRL with a delicious accent. I don’t think I would be able to function in their presence.
Mmmm, Fall Break! I’m one of three people on my hall that didn’t go anywhere, the others being Leanna and Shu Kee. Very nice, as I really didn’t know Leanna that well before, and after sharing brunch with her today, I realize how much we have in common. We’re both theatre junkies! Hurrah! I sense a new friend in my midst.
In my newfound Copious Free Time, I’ve worked massively on the Very Secret Project, which is getting off to a slow start, but should take off any time now. All four of us are insanely busy! However, with Maggie and Alicey also contributing line art (and dramatic improvement in artistic skill since last year from Moni), this calendar will totally leave last year’s in the dust. I absolutely adore the piece I’m CGing now. Guaranteed to steal any guy’s straight at 500 yards. Mmmm, [insert character’s name here].
Wow. I had no idea just what a terrible weight my Art History class was. I feel so incredibly free right now. For the past two weeks, I have had no time at all, and now, it’s as if the universe has opened up to me, and I can actually have a choice in what I do with my time. I keep wanting to laugh out loud and cry for joy. Everywhere, I see things that remind me that I no longer have to contend with that horrible class, and I keep getting happier by the minute.
This needed to happen. Of course, it means summer school, but it’s more than worth it. I can’t believe I waited this long.

It’s finished!
Muaha, we are a suite of fearsome ninjas!
And the egg didn’t break! We are soooooo good!
THE BIRDS ARE SINGING AND THE SUN IS SHINING AND ACTUALLY THEY’RE NOT BUT STILL IT’S A BEAUTIFUL DAY AND LIFE IS WONDERFUL AND I THINK I JUST ACED MY JAVA MIDTERM AND JOY, JOY, JOY!
