It wasn't how to make sense we were thinking of...

I love Big Bang Theory! I'm no good at watching shows once a week, but I'm going to try to remember to catch it. I spent most of the episode giggling like a looney - partly because it was all so weirdly familiar. Although it was sadly lacking in girl geeks, as was mentioned when it first came out.

In other news, I shouldn't be allowed to dress myself. Yesterday, I decided to wear something nice, so I took out a nice skirt I don't often wear – cream-coloured linen, with a kind of asymmetric scrunched effect and a petticoat, kind of old-fashioned sweet. I feel weird wearing dark tops with light bottoms, so I dug out a nice white top. Put it on, looked in the mirror, and realised – OH MY GOD, I look like I'm dressed for a wedding. Suffice to say, I changed quickly into something a little less mad. Roll on summer, when I can wear pale colours without feeling like a freak. Today, I'm dressed like a ladybird. *eyeroll*

What else... People, if any of you are coming to the

redial_the_gate AIM chat tonight (watching Message In A Bottle, w00t!), don't let me hang around afterwards. I have to be at my mum's at 9am tomorrow, to help her move to Worcester (which is a long way away). I cannot stay awake until 3am and also be compos mentis tomorrow, as sadly my aging 30-year-old body doesn't allow it.

Now I must get back to ~~writing the third and fourth instalments of my six-part Sam/Mac commentfic story~~ work.

ETA: Just noticed I've been tagged by

aoife_hime. So, 10 things that recently made me happy:

1 – This is My Jack and Sam: A Visual Primer by

annerbhp.

2 – Big Bang Theory (so I'm easy to make happy, sue me).

3 – The poem that A sent me for Valentines. Dawww.

4 - Going out for a run and not feeling like I was going to die of either hypothermia or hyperventilating.

5 – Tickets to see Willie Nelson in May.

6 – Penis windchimes in the British Museum.

7 –

beanpot's love meme. *squishes you all*

8 – Black silk dresses reduced from £95 to £20.

9 – Misty mornings leading to crisply sunny days.

10 - Lots of grad schools seeing the true wonderfulness of certain people.

I swear Sheldon is Rodney's love child. But I do love the show and am so glad it is coming back for nine episodes.

I can play in the chat tonight! I have message in a bottle on my DVR! Woot!

As for clothes, I had to wear nylons and a suit today and I fully intend to pout about it all damn day.

Yes, everything Sheldon did or said was freakily like a younger version of Rodney. To the point where I was wondering if he'd studied him as a character guide.

Yay for seeing you in the chat! But try to be boring! I need to leave early! ;)

And yeah, with you on suits. I'm sure you look like a classy dame, though. :)

It wouldn't surprise me - it is so dead on sometimes it is freaky.

(just wait until you get to the one where his mom comes to visit...by far my favorite. Or the Halloween one...)

Gah, I must try to catch them. I'm so bad at watching things every week. It had me at, "We're watching Battlestar Galactica season 2." "But we've seen season 2." "Not with commentary!"

Me either. I wore red tops three days in a row this week without even realizing it.

I'm planning on winning the lottery so that I can afford a minion to help me with this issue. :)

I agree with

beanpot Sheldon must be Rodney's spawn. The similarities are eerie.

Hee. I have a tendency to do that, too, only with purple tops. I need to be awake a few hours before I'm capable of dressing myself with anything remotely resembling a clue. Minions are a good idea, though. A is no good as a minion - conversations tend to go, Me: "Does this clash?" A: "You look adorable." Which is sweet, but doesn't give me much indication as to whether people are going to laugh at me in the street.

Eerie, absolutely. I kept wishing he had versions of the other Stargate people to interact with, though. :)

Gah! I must go shopping soon or laungish in clothing pergatory myself. Not looking forward to this.

And I...don't know when I'll make the chat. I'll be there for some of it (forgot it was tonight and didn't drive to work instead of walking...good for my body, bad for getting back before 5:30).

Damn, I wish I'd remembered to post the reminder yesterday, like I meant to do. Sorry 'bout that. Well, I hope you can make it, but if not, there's another one in two weeks - for Secrets, yay! :)

I want to go shoooooooooooooopping. Don't want to be at work. BAH.

Me, neither. Actually, I'm not allowed to dress myself. Every Christmas and birthday my sisters buy me clothes. And one of them always goes with me when I go shopping. I'm hopeless when it comes to fashion.
