News, flist, fandom blah

[misscam]

I have several new people on my flist this week, so... Hi! Feel free to jump in whenever - this is an open sort of LJ. And this is a random sort of entry filled with loads of stuff I meant to post during the weekend. (LJ hated me. It was a bit of a meanie this weekend, wasn't it? Some stuff wouldn't - had troubles with comments too. Hmm. )

Get To Know Your F-List Week! (Cont'ed)
Every day I'll ask two random questions. All you have to do is answer them.

1. If you could arrange for yourself to have been born with one talent you don't have now, which would it be? (Like have a great singing voice, be able to compose like Beethoven, could rival the masters at art, be marvelous actor etc etc.)
2. Chibi - cute or KILL IT WITH FIRE?

My answers:
1. I wish I could draw and had a more graphically-competent brain.
2. KILL IT WITH NAPALM.

Are there anyone else on my flist not that excited about Jack's return to Doctor Who? Because I'm feeling sort of alone in the universe there. Sniff. (I already feel alone about my vaguely fancying One. Oh, shut up. Awesomeness outweights age, that's why Sean Connory is still yum.)

Wish I could get more excited about writing again. Eh well, it comes and goes.

Dude attacks fish with knife. Fish attacks back. Dude wins.

Cam headdesks.

I see a few people on my flist has already mentioned this, but in case you've missed it - witness the London Olympic logo. Er. Yeah.

Oh, Denmark. I watched that game. It was utterly awesome up until that. The best of football, the worst of football. (Wikipedia already has an entry on it here. Figures.)

Environmental advocate travels to Tromsø to deliver UN report on sustainable tourism development in the Arctic - in a private jet.

Steiner defended his choice of private jet travel by saying it was "a very little" jet, and that he had six people traveling with him.

I let my icon speak on that one.

In other news:
Spain to look for lyrics to ts anthem
Channel Four to broadcast Diana images despite pleas from her sons.
Baghdad not much under control, report says.
Eta to end ceasefire.
T. rex not as fast as popularly believed. *waves flag for Velociraptors*
Pakistanis killed for adultery.

"Then it started to try and bite me. That was when I started having regrets," Brandvik said.

No shit, Sherlock. Dude deserved to lose an arm IMO.

1) The strength and flexibilty of a Cirque du Soleil performer.

2) Cute.

[yattara.livejournal.com]

1. That I could draw above the stick-figure level, probably.

2. Meh. Kinda indifferent about them. I want to kill any large groups of them, though.

I agree. Age has little to do with awesomeness, though some get more awesome with age. Like Connery, yes.

I don't care one way or another about Jack (I liked him in EC/DD, then he just got annoying) and find One highly fancyable.

[sinneahtes.livejournal.com]

1. The ability to draw/color things exactly as I imagine them.
2. Chibi = boring and annoying. I'm even getting tired of anime-style art in general (except as fanart for anime/manga series). :\

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Darwin Award contender if the fish had won.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Connory is like fine wine. He's gone vintage.

1. I think the ability to understand politics might be helpful. Or give me more reason to flail at the tv when politics comes on.

2. Ehhh. Depends, really. At the moment I'm a bit '…fire, please', though.

…Yeah, I don't think stabbing something that big underwater was a good idea.

Pervy One fanciers unite!

[canadian-kazz.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. "Ooooh! A giant fish with long sharp teeth that can take my head off! I'll stab it with a knife for no reason! Oh dear, that seems to have made it mad..."

Ass.

I am pathetically uninterested in Jack's return, and I hope he isn't stupid or emo or angsty, and that he leaves very quickly.

[preachelectric]

1. I'd like to draw well, or be able to play the piano/violin.

2. Um, some days send it to hell, other days cuddle it. Usually it depends on the time of the month. XD

I'm excited about Jack because I want to see Jack and Ten. I'm waiting for their interaction, because it has the possibility to send me into spasms of glee. And that, my dear, is fun.

Given that Torchwood gets a second series, we at least know he buggers off to go back being Ianto's shag-toy in Wales at some point.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

It does nothing for me. Woe. Jack leave sme rather worringly "...eh". No spasms for me.

Hehe icon.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

You don't want to understand politics. Even Norwegian politics gives me a headache and that's not even starting on the rest of the world.

Norwegian politics is like kitty cuddles compared to most places, really.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Because stabbing someone between the eyes never makes humans mad. Oh, wait...

[vandonovan.livejournal.com]

This'll be the only time I say it: Thank god for Torchwood.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I like some anime-style art, though I've never been as enarmored with it as many seem. I like cute, but not sure I always like cutesy.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Really not a fan, huh?

[preachelectric]

Feel free to snatch it.

[vandonovan.livejournal.com]

Not so much, no. Which is sad, as I had thought it sounded like such a cool idea at first. Great premise, horrible execution?

[kunenk.livejournal.com]

Ah. Goodie. So… I had something else in mind, but I've forgotten it.

…Maybe 'keeping things I think of somewhere I can find 'em again' should be it.

…So, uh, kinda wondering how politicians cope. Or just being happy it's them and not me.

1. I'd love to be able to play the piano really well. And read music, which kind of goes with it.
2. I'm largely indifferent to them.

You know that Jack does nothing for me. You're not alone.

[cedara]

1. If you could arrange for yourself to have been born with one talent you don't have now, which would it be? (Like have a great singing voice, be able to compose like Beethoven, could rival the masters at art, be marvelous actor etc etc.)

Telepathy, but has to come with the ability to shield it when necessary, otherwise I'd get mad.

2. Chibi - cute or KILL IT WITH FIRE?

I'm rather so and so about chibis.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_tallian_/]

1. I wish I could dance. I love to, but I am The Klutziest Person to Ever Klutz.

2. I had to google it, cause I had no idea it existed. It's like the Muppet Babies on steriods. It's kinda icky, so I guess KILL IT WITH FIRE.

... the London Olympic logo ...

A friend said it looks like Lisa Simpson giving a blow job, and now I can't unsee that.

[anamin.livejournal.com]

I heart Chibi, I think it's sooo cute :)
