NOTICE (Oh noes!) [Jan. 1st, 2020|12:00 am]
I have made the following decision regarding my journal:

It's all going to be public. All of it.

There's RL and fandom stuff here. There's only a very few people who know who I am on LJ, and I plan to keep it that way. So I'm going to keep all fic and rants/discussions public. On the off-chance that anything NC-17 gets written or anything magnificently personal comes up then they will be f-locked. However, such things are on an as and when basis and I trust people to keep my anonymity as I keep theirs. The joy of LJ is its ability to let us be who we want to be regardless of any other social constraints. 

I'm giving you the privilege of hassle-free surfing - please don't infringe on mine.

Loves. x

Do any of you lovely people know when Season 6 of Grey's Anatomy will air in the UK? I have failed in my attempts to work it out, alas. Any links/websites/help would be so appreciated!

Anyone who knows me that F1 is my life, so you will all appreciate (or at least understand) this:

OH FUCK YEAH!!! He did it!!!

I've lost my voice. Seriously, it's gone. Mix that with Beth Tweddle winning Gold in the Gymnastics and the end of Harper's Island and I am officially SCREAMINGLY ecstatic. Seriously guys, I'm HYPER!!!

Uh-oh, you're in trouble... [Sep. 16th, 2009|09:25 pm]
[mood | contemplative]

Someone fucked up at Renault. Big time.

Maybe Piquet wasn't such a blackmailing so-and-so, after all. I still think there's something off about the timing of this whole fiasco, though. It leaves a bit of a bad taste in everyone's mouth.

Singapore next weekend - onwards and so on and so forth. It's going to be a great race, hopefully - plus I can't wait to see how good looking those Brawns are in the dark!

[music |BBC One - The One Show]

I have a feeling I'll be thinking that quite a lot at this job. In a very very good way, I hope.

So, I survived my first day - was a baptism of fire, pretty much. There are builders in this week, the phones are being switched over to a new system AND there's a new receptionist as well so it was pretty much "here's your desk, have a tour, now answer this complaint" kinda job. Everyone's absolutely lovely though, and made me feel really welcome.

Yeah, I think I might do ok, after all.

FINALLY! [Sep. 9th, 2009|06:09 pm]
[mood | giddy]
[music |BBC2 - Eggheads]

I got a job! An actual job! Starts on Monday, which is good because I need to buy plastic sleepers for my lip piercings and grab another pair of trousers, but STILL... a JOB!

I would do a totally illogical dance, but I'm off to the hopsital in the morning for a chest X-ray since my ribs are still fucked up. Not even that has made me stop the 'jobjobjobjob' mantra going around my head, though!

Video Rec (Being Human) [Sep. 6th, 2009|02:17 am]
[Current Location |Mon Boudoir]
[mood | artistic]
[music |Puscifer - Undertaker]

Courtesy of [info]beinghuman_fans, I found this amazing Being Human vid. It has spoilers for all of Season 1, for those who haven't witnessed the awesomeness yet, but I think this is an amazing vid to convert people as well as make the fans squee. It's set to the Renholder mix of 'Undertaker' by Puscifer (an awesome song all on its own), but matching the two is pretty damn near perfection, in my opinion.

My embedding is having an issue, so I'm posting the link instead: Undertaker

Breathe, woman. [Sep. 4th, 2009|12:08 pm]
[mood | anxious]
[music |Pendulum - Mutiny]

Got an interview in an hour and a half, and am appropriately entering the final and more finely appointed stages of panic.

I managed to get my hair dyed this morning at least, and only about 10% of my face was covered this time, so I'm still improving it would seem. There's only one or two spots I'm going to need some heavy duty concealer on, and they're so tiny that I know it's probably just me being my slightly-obsessive self.

Now, if only I could breathe without looking and feeling ill, we'd be getting somewhere.

I have limited internet access at the moment, thanks to the incompetence of Virgin, but I'm briefly able to post this:

Who said F1 was boring?

And...
 
Party like a rock star, Fisi!

Best race of the season, by far!!! 'Spa, one of my favourite tracks, always gives a great race, even though Hamilton and Button lost out. I've always adored Force India (after all, they used to be Jordan!) and me and my mom screamed Fisi home.

Bring on Monza - the same tyre compounds and a new team potentially threatening the season's big boys - HELL YEA!!!

Ever get that feeling... [Aug. 24th, 2009|06:56 pm]

[music |Nikka Costa - Everyone Got Their Something]

...that your house is ruled by your possessions?

I've decided to kick back and spend a few hours uploading stuff onti my iPod, and have discovered that apparently my music collection has taken over my room. There are CDs literally EVERYWHERE, seldom in their boxes and often unlabelled.

So here I am with a beer, my iTunes, a pile of CDs, a pile of cases, and a permenant marker.

BOW BEFORE ME, TINY METAL DISCS!

Mood Officially Ruined [Aug. 22nd, 2009|02:06 am]
[mood | angry]
[music |BBC1 Sign Zone]

When 'Repo' didn't work last week, I thought it was the DVD. When both 'Shaun of the Dead' and Jeff Dunham didn't work tonight, I realised the problem.

My camera's damn software has somehow fucked my video on all applications. The audio runs beautifully, but there's no image. PowerDVD, Windows Media and everything else I have is no longer working. I've tried everything I can, looked into every possible setting and file preference in every programme, and my video is still fucked. And it's not just DVDs - videos I've downloaded no longer have vdeo, just audio.

Usually I'd just uninstall the software and see what happens, but if I do I stand a real chance of losing the only pictures we have of Chip. And that's just not a risk I can take right now.

Long time, etc... now RACE! [Aug. 22nd, 2009|01:25 am]
[mood | excited]
[music |KoRn - Did My Time]

I haven't posted anything 'properly' in approximately an AGE, alas. There's no excuse, since I've been commenting - apparently, I just suck.

With that said... F1 finally starts up again this afternoon and I am therefore out of it with excitement. The mid-season break is usually a big buzz-kill on the momentum of the season, but not so this time.We've had:
- A team be suspended and reinstated (Renault)
- A team announce their departure at the end of the season (BMW)
- A driver fired (Piquet) and replaced (Grosjean!!!)
- And of course, most importantly, the recovery and temporary replacement of Felipe Massa.

We're into the home stretch of the season now, and I am so pumped that I'm not sure I'll even sleep tonight - wish the boys (and my nerves) luck!

You are Sylar.
You have no real abilities on your own, however you have found out how to steal other people's powers. You murder them and take out their brains. Your lust for power and wanting to feel special have driven you to this level of insanity. You are immensly powerful.

A sad post to make... [Aug. 6th, 2009|11:26 pm]
[mood | sad]

My communication with[info]simons_flower may have only been as the role of a fangirl of her amazing work, but the knowledge of her passing was still a huge shock. Having read[info]madlori's entry, I implore everyone who knew her better than me to head over to[info]flowers4trisha, and share their memories for her daughter's sake.

That Wednesday Feeling [Jul. 8th, 2009|03:50 pm]
[mood | hungry]
[music |Countdown]

I've spent a few hours cleaning my room, and I have declared today a victory for me. The carpet's visible, I've vaccuumed and sorted out the clothes which have been screaming for my attention for far too long. There's still a lot to do (I'm such a slob sometimes), so tomorrow I've got to stage an intervention on my desk and sort through the clutter which has piled itself high in too many boxes in front of my bookcase. Come to think of it, the bookcase itself is in need of some TLC.

For now, I'm kicking back and watching TV for a bit before I decide what to do with myself. Probably search out some decent moisturiser (my hands look atrocious, in that charming 'you have leprosy' kinda way), then cook some pasta or something because damn, I am ravenous!

Saturday Stuff. [Jul. 4th, 2009|11:51 pm]
[mood | amused]
[music |Dukes of Hazzard]

Point #1: I finally got an interview! It's on Tuesday, in the heart of Digbeth. Gonna head into town on Monday morning to check out the location so I don't have to make the embarassing 'I'm lost' phone call. YAY for interviews! Took bloody long enough.

Point #2: Pertemps finally called me back. My mate's dad took my CV months ago and I pretty much gave it up as lost in the system, but said mate apparently had a go on my behalf without telling me (loves her like whoa!). The result? I was phoned to say that they haven't found anything yet but they're still looking and 'very much aware of me'. I love the subtext there SO HARD.

Point #3: The Dukes of Hazzard is a truly terrible film, but damn, am I ever having fun watching it!

[music |Torchwood trailer]

Dear Facebook,

Stop giving me random error messages and randomly deleting my posts. It's really annoying and I know it's nothing wrong with my computer because I already checked.

No love,

Me.

(PS - Seriously, my comp is fine, I'm suffering from servers gone mad, I think. SO if anyone wants my FB who doesn't have it, just let me know!)
