So, before I got fed up and quit, I made it through round one. Yay for me. : )

I didn't get kicked out with this icon:

( And I also made: )

In other news, I'm going to turn in my admissions packet for grad school tomorrow, and I am freaking out. They won't want someone who waited until the last minute and has crappy rec letters. I'm going to end up cooling my heels for another nine months. *sigh*

1. Thanks so much to spock74! I really appreciate the vgift, it just made my day! You just gotta love hugging teddie bears. : )

2a. Is a civil war in the SGA fandom inevitable? I mean, I still consider myself a n00b in the tortuous (GRE vocab) ways of fandom. I've been around Stargate for a little over a year and a half. Before that I flirted with Star Wars RotS but didn't really get involved in online politics. I'm just fascinated by all the goings on since we found out Sam was moving over to SGA. I'm pretty much a live and let live gal, but I'm just wondering if f-lists will be torn asunder over whether a person likes or dislikes Sam/Tapping.

Honestly, I've always preferred SG-1 to SGA even though I do enjoy SGA. On the other hand, I know that a lot of SGA fans don't like SG-1. I'm just curious if how a person came into the SGA fandom will predetermine some level of craziness in the OMG! SAM CARTER RUINED MY SHOW vs WTF? SHE'S WAY TOO GOOD FOR THAT DRIVEL fight.

This is a Sam friendly zone, but if Rodney doesn't stop being an idiot soon I'm gonna have to watch the show by peeking through my fingers while yelling "La, la, la, McKay's just in denial over how much in lust he is with Sheppard!"

3. I realized I'm going to miss Doppelganger on Friday and all the squee!again until I get home on Sunday. Geeze, why didn't I consult the SGA episode schedule before making my GRE appointment? I am obviously the dumbest human being in the world. : (

4. Did I tell y'all how much I enjoyed the movie The Game Plan? Cause I did. The Rock Dwayne Johnson is made of awesome, I don't care if the plotline is the most over-used ever. He did ballet, that's all I need to know.



5. Have any of you ever had an online arch-nemesis? Of course, it's actually all in my head - I'm nearly sure. I know how hard it is to get over a bad first impression in person let alone online, but I can't help me teeth going on edge every time I see a certain person post/comment. It's like no matter what it is, I always assume the worst of them. I was just wondering if I'm a freak or if this happens to other people too.

Pertinent parts bolded within, but mainly fly-by-the-seat commentary while watching the ep. I did enjoy it, but I can't wait until next week.

*coughs*

Yeah, so I just watched the 3rd Season ender, First Strike. It was okay. Mostly, I had two thoughts:

1. Why couldn't they have done something different with Weir's hair. The way it doesn't move really freaks me out. I suppose her personal items shipped over includes a crate and a half of hairspray. I just don't get it.

2. Teyla would totally be Mr. Fantastic, Rodney would be the Invisible Woman, Ronon Thing, and John the Torch.

Other than that I liked the character moments, the small minute scenes where we got to see the characters actually talk to each other. Gee, what a neat idea, too bad they didn't think of it earlier.


IN OTHER NEWS:

I registered for the GRE today and I am a whirling mass of scared out of my mind and can't wait to get on with it. I need to start writing my statement of purpose. Recommendation letters are going to be a real bitch to get too.


IN OTHER OTHER NEWS:

I'm almost finished with SPN season one. I have committed to writing a Dean prompt from just_google_it and surprisingly, it's starting to look autobiographical despite the facts that I'm not a) a man b) named Dean Winchester or c) affiliated in any way with a campus GLBTIQA organization. It kinda hurts my brain when I think about it too hard.

1. So I put the ad in the paper to try and find new renters for my house. Lots of people called but no one came out to see it. It was rainy, but this might be a bad, bad thing.

2. Speaking of rain, I drove through a good two foot high flood of water to get to internet tonight. It was not fun, very scary, and no good. Thankfully I did not have a heart attack and the car appears to be fine. The things I do to keep up with you people... : )

Yet it is still raining, so I might be stranded in town. Woe!

3. I've decided if I ever get another dog, I'm going to name her McClane and refer to her as a he. I will also teach 'him' tricks by cursing. For example 'god damn it' will get McClane to rollover and 'shit' will get a handshake. I'm already very impressed with myself even if I never get another dog.

4. Don't think badly of me, but I'm just now beginning to catch up with the SGA eps I've missed. From the first season and the ending of the third season. I think it's neat to see these episodes together for the first time. I can easily see how the characters have grown and changed and completely stayed the same.

I finally saw John ride off into the sunset ala The Siege on Rodney's nuke and how he and Rodney interacted. Then I turned around and watched John try to ride a moonbase free of the atmosphere in The Ark and listen to Rodney pleading with him not to do it. Sometimes I forget how much I really do love the show even through its faults, and that there is more to fandom than fic.

I wish I could write meta, because I think those two eps together would be a good topic. Maybe someone has already done it? *looks hopefully for a link*

2b. Oh look it's stopped raining and I've had this post open for the last three hours. Perhaps the IHOP employees are beginning to wonder over my social life.

5. I think I'm in the process of signing up for sg_flyboys. I think I have an addiction and people need to stop having cool challenges, dangit.

( HP House meme thing. I'm a Slytherin because I like football. Very scientific. )

I'm still at the parental unit's house. I have internet, but not that much time to be on it other than to bookmark stuff to look at later. I feel crazy disconnected, and awkwardly weird with fandom at the moment. It's strange, and I blame last week's eps for it.

It took me three days to watch SGA because I was a bit squicked at the embarrassment clause. I'd watch ten or fifteen mins and then have to go do something else. I did love Joe, he did a most excellent job. SG-1 was better, I loved the Cam/Dan at the beginning, and then all the Daniel scenes. But the other main plot, not so much. There has been some really good fic already written for it though.

I've written a little bit, but mostly, I've watched Farscape and messed around with my Daniel/Cameron moodtheme that's in the works. In fact, I think I just did something a little naughty that prompted this post. For the mood "full" I picked ( this picture: )

Is it too much?



Also, I learned a valuable lesson this morning, the consequences of which may or may not come back to haunt me in the future. But for all of you, I'll write it down-

When staying at your grandparent's house with your mom, older brother, and little brother, make sure you actually turn your laptop off when you go to bed so that it won't still be running in the morning. This is important because they might get up before you and want to go poke at your computer. When they're poking, a picture of naked boys engaging in naughty things might flash up, and they might be a little surprised and/or shocked. And maybe not in a good way.

So I was taking a test today in Late-Early-Western-Civ, and I had to write an essay about the "Scientific Revolution". The main point of my essay was the change over from a geocentric model to a heliocentric. One of the astronomers I referenced was Tycho Brahe, a man whose name I only remember because Rodney McKay wanted to name his and John's love child after Tycho.

Is this sad or what?

Also, I have a surprise for some of my f-list in a few minutes as soon as I write the post up!
