raarrrr i eetchu

[unamaga]

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 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 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.)

OH OH i know this! my friend forced me to watch all the youtube vids, omg. *hearts them forever*

[countess7.livejournal.com]

for realz i could stare at them (and talk about them) ALL DAY. in fact, i spent 3 hours pimping them to gaffsie last night and for serious, i could have gone on and on and on...

also, i'm pretty sure that podfic 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...

What size does that sort of thing have to be? Hahah, I am so behind the times.

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.

YOU ARE MADE OF AWESOME AND SUNSHINE

Thank you for the rec! I found the youtube vids and am happily watching them now. :)

[countess7.livejournal.com]

ok, seriously, do let me know if you require anymore pimpage because I AM JUST FULL UP and ready to share:)

[tty63.livejournal.com]

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 evilgeniuslady or frogspace.)

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

have you found the comm yet? 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:)
