I have such a shiny house now. We spring-cleaned this weekend, because we've got someone coming round tonight because of... something to do with us moving house. Perhaps I should be a little more aware of the whys and wherefores, but it's so boring. I just want to wander around the place going 'Ooh! Shiny windows! Shiny tiles! Dust-free lampshades!' *g* I swear, you could eat your dinner off the top of my kitchen cupboards.
Okay, it'd be a weird place to eat, you'd probably hit your head on the light, the food would taste slightly of kitchen cleaner, and I'd murder you if you got my lovely clean cupboards messed up... but you wouldn't die of, er, dirt poisoning.
I wonder what the estate agent / whoever's coming will make of my little Stargate action figures scene on my speakers. Sam is messing with the speaker wiring, Jack is guarding her whilst she does her skiense thing, Vala has sat down on a speaker, casually brandishing her zat, Teal'c has his zat cannon to guard everyone, and Daniel is on look-out, with his radio (because he kept dropping his gun – typical). Oh, and the Stargate is behind them all.
I'm never going to grow up, am I? (And yes, I need to get a Cam.)
p.s. I'm also still willing to take prompts here for the 'three things I'd never write' meme. Because my SDficathon story just makes me want to cry.
Gakked from
triciabyrne1978: 27 questions that (allegedly) no one would ever think to ask. Mainly, it seems, because they're a bit pointless. *g*:
1. When you looked at yourself in the mirror today, what was your first thought?
Ooh, shiny! (I polished the mirror yesterday. Little things...)
2. When's the next time you will have sex?
Well, let me check my calendar... Honestly, who schedules this stuff? I don't. When my mood and his coincide.
3. What's a word that rhymes with "DUCK"?
Puck. (Yes, apparently I've been watching MacGyver and his ice hockey too much.)
4. Favorite planet?
Er... Europa. Although I think that's actually a moon. But it's all icy and stuff, that's pretty cool - plus there may be aliens living there.
5. What is your favorite ring on your phone?
I hate 'em all. I like the one my bf has – he recorded the sound of an old-fashioned telephone, from a Jon Pertwee episode of Doctor Who. The sound of a 'proper' phone startles me every time, plus it has geek chic.
6. What shirt are you wearing right now?
Boring emerald-green work one.

6. What shirt are you wearing right now?
Boring emerald-green work one.
7. What were you doing 20 minutes ago?
Answering lj comments.
8. Name the brand of shoes you're currently wearing?
Clarks (the only brand whose heels I can comfortably wear).
9. You're in a bright or Dark Room?
Bright, but non-directional light (no shafts of sunlight – which is, IMO, a pity).
10. What do you think about the person who posted this survey?
We don't chat all that much, but when we do, I feel like we have a lot of stuff in common.
11. If you're in a room with two beds, which one do you sleep on?
I'm happy to let the other person bagsie the one they want. I can sleep anywhere. Nearer the window for preference, though.
12. What were you doing at exactly midnight last night?
Er... watching Window of Opportunity. Again. (What? No, I've not watched it often enough already, thankyouverymuch. "In the middle of my backswing?!", heeheehee. I wonder if Hammond had time to properly yell at him before the time reset?)
13. What was your last text message you received on your mobile?
Friend of a friend, re. our mutual friend's hen night.
14. What's a word/phrase that you say a lot?
"I don't know." And I'd like to eradicate it from my vocabulary, please.
15. Last furry thing you touched?
That honour goes to Truffles, my black (toy) sheep. He's so squishy!
16. How many drugs have you done in the last three days?
Red wine and Benylin. Woohoo. Oh, and caffeine. Par-TAY.
17. How many rolls of film do you need to get developed?
Ugh. I have maybe ten old rolls of film, but I'll probably never get them developed. Digital has taken over (but I miss the randomness of film – it's so much more exciting).
18. Favorite age you have been so far?
Seven. :) But I'm enjoying thirty...
19. Your worst enemy?
Easy access to the internet. Talk about procrastination tools...
20. What wallpaper do you have on your desktop?
Same screencap as my lj default icon.
21. What was the last thing you said to someone?
Something uninteresting about meeting rooms.
22. If you had to choose between a million bucks or to be able to fly?
Flying. I would love to fly. And a million isn't that much these days.
23. Do you like someone?
I like lots of someones. I even love a few of 'em.
24. The last song you listened to?
Easy Silence – Dixie Chicks, 'favourites' playlist set to random, on the way to work this morning.
25. If the last person you talked to was getting shot, what would you do?
Duck. Seriously – getting shot? That implies someone is still shooting. So I'd be ducking. I don't know this person well enough to throw myself in front of bullets for them.

26. If you could punch 1 person in the face, who would it be?
Hm. I don't feel that violently towards anyone right now, but recently I definitely wanted to punch Sebastian Cresswell-Turner for being a self-entitled asshat.
27. What is the closest object to your left foot?
Scrubby old box that serves as my footrest. I should seriously get this place to fork out for a proper one.

I should get an interesting theme for my phone, but ugh, I hate mobiles. Convenient, yes, but I really don't want to be contactable at all times. *resents modern technology*
Specially when my computer eats my almost fin essay which I have to start all over again...*shakes fist*
I hate it when it does that. I always tell myself that it's always better the second time around - but it is awful. Frustrating, and heartbreaking.
I don't get that happening to me nowadays, thank god, but I have managed to overwrite the newer version of a story with the older version on my memory stick, a time or two. *is idiotic*
