raarrrr i eetchu

My headset was summarily destroyed the other day by a rampaging beast (aka me during a frantic search for my camera card) which is hugely upsetting since I was planning on recording a hello message for you all and I can't for the life of me figure out how to work the voice post whosamajigs. Alas, you've been spared my hilariously idiotic ramblings about David Hewlett and dresses and cookies - not that the three are related in any way - for another week. Rest easy while you can because soon your time will come and, lo, it will be epic. Seriously, just ask [livejournal.com profile] schneestern. The first time we talked on Skype together I ended up pontificating on the significance of ladybug stickers for ten minutes. I don't even know how. Something about the number of spots being a metaphor for Love Sweet Love? Yeah.

Top three songs making Mel happy at the moment:
1. [Patrick Wolf - Careless Talk] Like me reccing a Patrick Wolf song is a huge surprise. But, okay, this is so adorable and jazzy and so unlike his normal songs, and I maybe really want him to be my boyfriend. Don't judge me.
2. [Tiger! Shit! Tiger! Tiger! - Insert Disco Beat Here] Courtesy the lovely [livejournal.com profile] chickyoops. Definitely not for everyone, but it's funky and hilarious and weird and I can barely understand a word the singer's saying, which means that of course it's right up my alley. Also, hello, their name.
3. [Beirut - Postcards From Italy] The perfect summer song, all sweetness and nostalgia and light, like the memory of sun warming your toes on a balmy afternoon.

Now you! What's making you happy today, flist? *group smoosh*

(PS, Don't let any of the actual content fool you, this is totally a gratuitous icon post. Nghjfaoigm JFlans, how are you so sexass. Please to be never stopping. Do it for us, the fans.)

What's making me happy right now?

Well, 1. This icon, it is my porn icon and I love it.
2. There is a Flan kitten asleep on my lap right now. ♥
3. My art mojo is back!
4. John and Rodney being dorks in love.

I have learned from this post one v. important thing: Joe's neck is a sexy, sexy thing from all angles. I want to gently bite it. Please?

This is what made me happy today (besides the fact that it was CASUAL FRIDAY): Last night I had a dream about John Sheppard. But he was a rooster. Yes, yes. A rooster. (A very handsome rooster, naturally, with a rakish comb.) Unfortunately, he had an oddly braying, loud crow and no one wanted him. So I took him home to be my pet. There was also random html code in there that was supposedly going to make him quieter and also included his weight as a person. (I dream in html now? What, what?) The code went something like this: < rooster volume="soft" >180< /rooster volume >.

Yeah, I don't know. It kind of made my day though because everyone I told immediately burst into hysterical peals of laughter.

[identity profile] unamaga.livejournal.com 2008-06-28 06:41 am (UTC)(link)
AHAHAHA. Oh my god, I just made a sound that - I don't think I've made since I turned eleven. *goofy grin*

[identity profile] pennyplainknits.livejournal.com 2008-06-28 06:18 am (UTC)(link)
Robots. Just, you know, in general! Also all the pretty icons :licks:

Also, voice posts? Does that mean perchance podfics in the future?

[identity profile] unamaga.livejournal.com 2008-06-28 06:42 am (UTC)(link)
I did one podfic a while back but my voice is totally in no way even or soothing, so I don't know how well I'd do at it. Probably longer outtakes than fic, hahah.

[identity profile] pennyplainknits.livejournal.com 2008-06-28 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Hee!
:begin blowing of own trumpet:
Just so's you know, I happen to rock at reading aloud( I'm a former children's librarian) so should you ever be seized with a burning desire to hear your stories I'd be happy to oblige...
:cease blowing of own trumpet:

[identity profile] unamaga.livejournal.com 2008-06-28 03:42 pm (UTC)(link)
fja;ogigjwawgjg;awf, omg, that would be AMAZING and I would probably kiss you all over your face from joy. So, you know, if you're ever seized with the burning desire to read one of my stories, please feel utterly free. :D :D :D

[identity profile] pennyplainknits.livejournal.com 2008-06-28 05:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Awesome! It may be a month or so (need to get a new mic and that's gonna have to be after payday) but I'll totally do it.

[identity profile] countess7.livejournal.com 2008-06-28 05:07 pm (UTC)(link)
just so you know, i think the rest of fandom would also um, *really* appreciate it if you would do this.

yis. lots. :::cough:::trackau:::cough:::

what?

*whistles innocently*

(also - i'll totally make it into a podbook for you, which is really ridiculously easy, and not a big deal, but whatever. i just wanted to contribute:))

[identity profile] pennyplainknits.livejournal.com 2008-06-28 05:39 pm (UTC)(link)

yis. lots. :::cough:::trackau:::cough:::


Well that was one of my thoughts.

Cool, a podbook! I can record voice but anything more technical gives me hives.

[identity profile] countess7.livejournal.com 2008-06-28 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
um, do you need more encouragement? because i can totally give it to you.

like, remember that bit in the track au (which totally has a real name, i know, but i can never remember it) where they fuck for the first time? more accurately they frot on the couch, but still. lets have a moment of silence in reverence of that scene.

:::::

i fully support any and all recordings of this story and can totally be called upon to support you in whatever means you deem necessary to get this podfic created.

you just let me know:)

[identity profile] pennyplainknits.livejournal.com 2008-06-28 08:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you! I totally will. :-)

[identity profile] countess7.livejournal.com 2008-06-28 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
omg! verbotene liebe has been making me happy for weeks now! have you heard about them? because for realz, the hot boys kissing and cuddling are really worth reading the subtitles. um, its a german soap opera. yes, i did say that, but seriously, its awesome. please to be seeing my icon and um, this picture.

Image

i invite you to love them with me.

[identity profile] unamaga.livejournal.com 2008-06-29 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
OH OH i know this! my friend forced me to watch all the youtube vids, omg. *hearts them forever*

[identity profile] countess7.livejournal.com 2008-07-01 10:26 am (UTC)(link)
for realz i could stare at them (and talk about them) ALL DAY. in fact, i spent 3 hours pimping them to [livejournal.com profile] gaffsie last night and for serious, i could have gone on and on and on...

also, i'm pretty sure that podfic [livejournal.com profile] pennyplainknits promised you is on its way:) YAY! which reminds me, once she uploads it i'd like to make it into a podbook, can i use the graphic you made for the cover? you did make the graphic, yeah? and can i edit the graphic so it fits better in itunes? or did you want to make a cover yourself, little miss photoshopawesomecakes? let me know...

[identity profile] unamaga.livejournal.com 2008-07-01 06:59 pm (UTC)(link)
What size does that sort of thing have to be? Hahah, I am so behind the times.

[identity profile] unamaga.livejournal.com 2008-07-01 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
I totally have no idea if this is right or possible to use, but here you go. If you need the .psd file or for me to resize it, I'll be around all night and available for poking. :D

I...totally just realized how dumb that text looks? Huge sorry for spamming your inbox like this but homg I've been staring at it for an hour and hemming and hawing, so I figured I'd just leave you the choice.

I'm done watching all the available episodes. WONDERFUL! :) Do you have any icon makers that you would recommend? Or are the icons in your userpics snaggable? (Specifically the ones by [livejournal.com profile] evilgeniuslady or [livejournal.com profile] frogspace.)

It's great telling people that I'm watching a German soap opera with English subtitles. I've gotten some very weird looks. :)

[identity profile] countess7.livejournal.com 2008-07-02 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
have you found the comm yet? [livejournal.com profile] seifen_slash

the ollian icon tag (http://community.livejournal.com/seifen_slash/tag/%5Bicons:ollian%5D) is awesome; and the whole comm is great too.

all my icons are snaggable, unless they aren't credited. i grabbed the ones you mentioned from the comm, and there are LOTS more.

also, there is fanfiction. i recommend the stuff by bayleaf, and tillseven, and the latest by ninamalfoy, and the one by out_there. everyone has their own taste though, so check out the ollian fic tag here (http://community.livejournal.com/seifen_slash/tag/%5Bfanfic:ollian%5D) and read at your own leisure:)
