I wonder if lemon drizzle cake will get rid of the taste. Got to be worth a try.
I do hugely appreciate all the kind feedback I've had on my recent fics, and I will get to replying. I just... I'm in the mood to put fic out there and vanish into the night again. Like a fic ninja. You know? So, think of my fic as my inarticulate way of expressing my love for you all. :)
I have made myself a 'My fandom... does it in tents' T-shirt. Now I want to paint things on all my T-shirts. I have to restrain myself. I've gone through phases of that in the past, and ended up with nothing to wear that didn't have something embarrassingly geeky painted on it. Or the time I got into dying clothes - everything I owned was one shade of green. It was kind of like being a cartoon character.
Still, just one more T-shirt won't hurt...
I tidied my kitchen this Saturday just gone. Well, 'blitzed' might be a better word - well, except that implies destruction and devastation, and really, the opposite is true... Anyhow, I cleared out a ton of stuff - all the tupperware that I've mysteriously acquired over the years (from my mum? at Christmas?) that didn't have tops or had gone all sticky, and the old blender that never worked very well, and those hideous plates that A was given and which have never been used, and... etc. I've got to make a trip to a charity shop in the near future. I'm not sure what to do with the stuff that's not charity-shop worthy, though. It seems a bit wrong to just chuck it in the bin, but I can't think what else to do with it.
No news on the job front, as yet.
I have made myself the perfect icon for when I don't have the perfect icon. My obsessive completism knows no bounds.
(The title of this post. When does Jack say that? Help me, fangirls, you're my only hope...)

(also, hummus can never have too much garlic! hurumph! :) )
Yay for t-shirts of geekiness and kitchen cleaning and, um, things.
*crosses fingers for the job thing to come through already*
Fic ninja icon! Yes!
Thanks for the good thoughts - I think the job thing is going to drag on a little, because we're in a busy period, and all that recruitment stuff just tends to get put back so long as they have someone (i.e. me) in place, doing the job already... But I'm not in a hurry to have an interview. At all. Gah.
Could the Jack quote be from the S1 cliffhanger, right before he asks the Jaffa where the bathroom is and Teal'c shoots the Jaffa with a zat?
...Is this the start of a Jack-quote post? :) :)
Hmm... *checks* No, that's not it. Well remembered, though. I think my quote is more of an "I'm confused and/or annoyed, and therefore will pretend not to have listened to what you just said" sort of thing. I think. It might be in the briefing room. Argh. It was just a random phrase that popped up in my brain, and it doesn't have any visuals or clear wording attached, so could have been said at any point in 8 seasons. I'm betting someone will recognise it, though. Or, hoping they will. Or maybe I'll remember the context. Need caffeine.
Daniel sneaks out at night? *g*
Daniel sneaks out at night? *g*
You've never heard of this? A quote from MS at DragonCon:
"Daniel’s actually a night-time ninja. He fights crime in the streets of Colorado Springs. When everyone thinks he’s up late studying stuff, he’s actually fighting crime on the streets. There's a little tidbit for you fan fiction writers."
...and an entire genre of Ninja!Daniel fic (and this! (http://community.livejournal.com/stepthrough/5169.html)) was born. :)
How I hear it in my head is Jack butting in when someone is talking ABOUT him (or possibly his team), not TO him. It's going to drive me bananas.
Heh, yes. Apparently, they were both nervously telling the baby during the delivery scene, "Mommy and Daddy are just pretending, don't come out now!" :)
And now that Jack line is going to drive me nuts, too. Thank you. :p
It might be in the sort of context of a discussion, and Jack not paying attention, and someone referring to him, and so he does a kind of confused, "Yes I've been paying attention really" catch. Then again, I'm not positive I'm remembering the words absolutely right... Please don't kill me... *g*
Snarky-wise, the most likely one is in Reckoning, when Jacob comes in all business-like without so much as a greeting, and Jack says, "Hi. Hello. How are ya? Long time, no see. What's doing? What's up? Hey, buddy..." And Jacob gets the point and says a proper hello. :)
The only other one I could find was in Family at the very beginning, when they get SG-1's IDC even though SG-1 is on the base. As the whole team converges in the Gateroom and they realize it's SG-1's IDC, Jack looks around at the others and says, "Hi. How are ya?"
...Hope this helps. If not, well, you deal with it. :)
*collapses*
You are INVINCIBLE. I am in awe.
...Although, of course, that doesn't have to mean it's from Stargate...
This is what it's like, living with my brain.
And despite managing to spit out over 3k words of 5 Times yesterday, I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR MORE BUNNIES!
What I need is a shot gun loaded with fic bunny shot.
Yep, that was Jack when he and Daniel and Sha'uri and Skaara tried to sneak back into the pyramid to get the bomb away from Ra.
Good catch!
Just back away from the t-shirts. Or at least leave yourself enough to get by once the fit leaves you. ;-)
(So says the woman who has a drawer full of t-shirts with stuff written on them. ;-)
Instead of nun-chucs (how *do* you spell that?), you'd need to use pens connected with something ficcish... but nothing's coming to mind. :-)
So... you gonna post a picture? :-)
*g*
It's not work, it's, um... ok, ya got me. It's work. ;-)
But we wanna *seeee* it! *whines*
Now, what about the Fic-Ninja one? :-)
Speaking of D*Con... *will send e-mail*
I wonder if lemon drizzle cake will get rid of the taste. Got to be worth a try.
Cake is always worth a try.
I don't suppose you have an alternate identity under which you post a blog on some fannishly unrelated subjct? Because if you did, I'd totally read it. You never fail to make me giggle.
My advice would be to buy a green T-shirt to begin with - because when dying stuff, it seems like such a waste to just dye the one thing... Plus it fades much more easily than shop-bought stuff, so it's a bit dispiriting, if you make an effort over it. Just my opinion. It's good fun, though, if you have stuff that is, say, a nice shape, but a rubbish colour.
Lemon drizzle cake worked! The Jack method in action.
Talk to you on email about the other stuff. ;) (But, er, not until I get home in about 2-3hrs time, 'cause I can't access my webmail at work. Curses, foiled!)
I'd make you some hummus (I make a really lovely hummus, if I do say so myself), but it'd be icky by the time it got to you. It's not like, say, cookies, that way.
I wore a black T-shirt with "The floggings will continue until morale improves" on it at D*C last year and there were a number of people who assumed it meant I was into bondage stuff for realz! Which was very amusing. They'd look at me like I was part of their sekrit club :)
And, hee - well, I can see how that might confuse the bondage peeps. It puts an entirely different spin on the sentence. *g*
The idea of a fic ninja makes me ridiculously happy.
I can't stop giggling!
Like a fic ninja.
You SO need an icon for that! (And pretty please may I have it too?)
And of COURSE you can have a fic ninja icon! I'm looking for images right now, in fact... :)
I've had 'City of New Orleans' stuck in my head *all day* because of your post title! You know ... 'Good morning America how are ya?' =) Now I love that song, but not even my eighties mix has managed to evict it from my brain. This could be a problem.
