Bit of a place holder post

 It's Father's Day, so I should be going to have a picnic or something soonish, so I don't really have time to make the epic post about all the crazy things that have been happening over the last week. I hope I get to it soon though, because I've also been having major computer troubles and am concerned that it might be tricky to be around consistently. Oh well.

Basically, there was a lot of parties and fun times, interspersed with slightly less good times, a bit of misery, disappointment, panic, frustration, flirting and paranoia. And a lot of rushing around, and not at all enough sleep. So, a pretty average week really...

Oh, I should really write something lengthy about Doctor Who. For now I shall say only, last night's was good, I'm pretty happy - keep up the good work Moffat!

ARGH I still haven't written about The Demon's Covenant yet. Well, thats damn cool too, and deserves a proper post about its awesomeness. Which I have no time to write now. My brother is happily reading it next to me at this very moment though, that's kinda cool :) 

Anyway, here is a pleasant, positive meme thing I saw on t'flist:

We as women far too often and far too easily denigrate our own bodies. So for once, why don't we have a little love in? Comment here with wonderful things about your body. Start little and if you have a lot to say fill the comment box with love and joy and celebration.

Then maybe turn around and get your flist to spread the love on your journal. Pass it on. Share your beautiful selves.

Some things I love about my body include:

My eyes – they change colour, but are always awesome.
My legs - are in excellent shape.

My eyebrows – are naturally kinda arched, which rocks.
My skin - is beautiful; I love its natural colour, particularly on my torso.
My hair – is a lovely rich dark brown, with the occasional bronze-y strand, and is finally the perfect length.

Now you guys!

I am quite fond of my body, I really don't have any complaints. If we're being specific, I love my hair, which is a shade of red a lot of people try to achieve by dying it and never really can. I'm also quite happy with my figure, although I literally do nothing to deserve it XD I'm just lucky that way. Also, many people have told me I have nice collar-bones. I think that's a weird compliment, but I also think they're right, idk XD

On a completely unrelated note, you tried to join [livejournal.com profile] goblinmarket_sw, right? IDK if you saw the PM we sent you but I never got a response (unless [livejournal.com profile] vociferocity, who's co-modding with me, got one and never told me, which is possible XD). Um, basically - if you want to join the comm, you should sign up here. You can either sign up to be on an active team or you can sign up to be on the "audience" team (Team Demon), which would mean you can vote and join in bonus rounds but don't have to worry about completing a full submission.

We weren't just ignoring your sign up XD (and don't worry, a couple of other people have tried to join the comm without signing up. We're still trying to get in touch with them)

Collar bones are absolutely gorgeous IMO, I love mine :)

Heh, yeah, I did try to join without signing up, and then replying to that PM was one thing of a few I kinda let slip recently in my hectic rushing about the place. Basically, I'm still torn on what to sign up for - I literally can't pick a favourite pairing *waves her omnishipping flag* so then I was thinking is there a team that needs one more member to become official, but there isn't, so maybe I should join Team RarePear and then I'd be able to be to support every pairing except the confirmed teams (I think?) or maybe I should just join Team Demon and then I can just chill in the audience, hmmmm...

...and, that's as far as my thought process got tbh. So, um, I'll try to actually make a decision later today :P

<3 I am glad you like yours. Even though I think its an obscure thing to find attractive, I am rather fond of mine too. :)

:D I am totally pleased you are an omnishipper, because the challenge is ALL ABOUT having fun with lots of different ships. Whichever ship you sign up for, you'll have the chance to write for others in the bonus rounds anyway, if that helps your decision any. Honestly? We would much prefer you join an active team, and one of the smaller ones would be great. If you are honestly open to anything, Gerald/Jamie with Rarepear as your back-up would be amazing - I am really hoping to get one more team plus rarepear in, and Gerald/Jamie is looking like our best bet atm. But joining RarePear outright would be cool too. It's funny, I actually thought more people would join RarePear just as a team rather than a backup. *shrug* But anyway, it really doesn't matter how long you take to sign up, so long as you do it before the 30th of June.

Knowing that you are definitely planning on it makes me happy though - we've almost got 30 people signed up. THIRTY. Given the fandom is relatively small, I am absolutely stunned. And super excited. Anyway, I'll see you on the sign-up post when you've decided! :D

Alternatively, we just got another sign up for Mae/Nick so I would also love it if you'd join that team. But yeah, honestly, you should join whichever team you like! :)

I totally sympathise on the getting-behind thing! Wow but the end of term is a crazy busy time of madness and weird stuff going on! And I've spectacularly failed to post about TDC as well. :(

Awesome meme! I shall try it.

My eyes - I say they are mud brown, but they are actually a really rich brown colour and they're a really nice shape, plus I've got lovely long dark eyelashes which make me very happy.
My mouth - this is a bit weird, but I do really like it - I've got very naturally colourful red lips (so much so that in primary school teachers used to tell me off for wearing lipstick). The shape is quite well defined as well, kind of rosebud/heart-shaped and it also maketh me happy!
My hands - I've got really long elegant fingers which make me wish I played piano
My skin - is very soft. When people hold my hand or touch my cheek they always say I have really nice soft skin. Then they stroke it, which is weird. But cool!

Aww, I feel all positive about myself now! :D Thank you lovely!

You are asking me what I love about my body? xD I have to say, before I met the Fish, I hated everything about myself, including but not limited to my mindset, my body, and my achievements. But now I love my mindset and achievements and I'm working on the body part. :D

My hair: It is straight, and so many curly-haired people are jealous of it. It is also soft and the strands are crazy thin. And the color is awesome; it is mostly dark-brown, but in the sun, sometimes it is red/orange/yellowish (not yellowish as in, gold, but yellowish as in light-brown-not-really-brown). It is extremely low-maintenance too. Whoo.
My eyes: They're dark. :D My eyelashes are short and stubby, but I don't care, because I like my eyes. Plus my glasses (old ones; I am not sure about the new ones as they have not arrived) bring out the color in them.
My skin: I am told I have good skin. I think my brother has good skin too. But no one has complimented him on it. Which would be a little creepy, in his opinion.
My arms: Muahahaha. I feel strong.
My wrists: They are lovely and thin and I think they're a result of piano-playing.
My hands, sometimes, when I am playing piano, because I am told I have lovely hands that are ever-so-graceful. (And that, is a result of my piano teacher yelling at me to curve my fingers and stop putting my wrists into the forte parts.)
My neck: even though it has two scars that I cover with my hair. But I like it anyway because there's no reason to hate it.

Haha, I have made such great progress. :D

Another quick note about [livejournal.com profile] goblinmarket_sw. not to hound you or anything, but it's almost the last day of signups, so if you would like to participate, it would be really awesome if you could sign up (http://community.livejournal.com/goblinmarket_sw/4460.html) asap :)
