......and my first "official" act in fandom was to:
[Poll #1965322][Poll #1965322]
And the correct answer is....
#5! Yup, a massive, massive fail on my part. Actually, all of the choices represent a massive fail on my part, except for the last choice for which I DO NOT APOLOGIZE.
(She was mentioning how a character in her new novel has an opportunity to mindwipe the memories of another and doesn't because he respects her too much and it's not what she would want. Also, she just began watching btvs S1 at my urging and is NOT impressed with Angel or Xander. At all.) I actually spent hours making icons for
slayerstillness challenge #22 "A Room Full of Emptiness" (Negative Space)" ("Ooh, I can do this one!"); hours dithering over which to chose before deciding to actually ask my beta
wickedbish for help; and then failed to send him the link to the Photobucket folder so he could actually see the icons. By the time I figured out my mistake, it was too late to enter the challenge. (And I'm a little pissed at myself, because I think I made some good icons and really enjoyed getting back into the creative flow for the first time in weeks.)
But at least I manage to vote as the deadline isn't until tomorrow (midnight your time) hence still time to vote and pimp it - so there's a penance, at least.
And entries are being accepted for the latest challenge #23 (deadline Friday) so there's lots o' time left to enter. Yup, lots o' time....
The only fail more massive is #4 - I have NOT gotten around to congratulating all the winners of the Willowy Goodness Awards, including
velvetwhip,
snogged,
foxstarreh,
clockwork_hart1,
tiny_white_hats, and snowpuppies amoung others. Congratulations to all the winners (by which I include "Runners Up" aka the silver and bronze medalists). I actually did vote in that one too and cheese on a cracker did you folks make it painfully hard to choose!
ETA: ALL credit to the amazing
eilowyn for urging me to watch Orphan Black, which I'd never heard of until she mentioned it.

Date: 2014-04-24 05:17 pm (UTC)Really not bad right now - we're away from that temporary third floor apartment and DEAR GOD those noisy downstairs neighbors. More space, more privacy - and hardwood floors. What's not to love?
Also I'm riding my bicycle again for the first time since an injury in Nov 2012. All to the good.

Date: 2014-04-24 05:21 pm (UTC)Eh, but are they actually fun orgies or "slog through this aka Eyes Wide Shut" orgies? (I'm actually a fan of that film - parts of it anyway.)
I think "Sophist" can imply orgies too - granted somewhat intellectual orgies which mine are anyway because we would read stuff and talk about it and then have the wild monkey love. Then breakfast and more readings!
no subject
Date: 2014-04-24 06:28 pm (UTC)Good point about Sophist. I'd have used that name, but it was already taken when I signed up for lj. But yeah, reclining couches, lots of strong wine, exotic dancers. Just like I imagine Socrates did it.

Date: 2014-04-24 09:18 pm (UTC)Is it still? Not that I need you to change or anything, but since we're yakking about it...

EEP! How could I forget the couches? Except in his day they were probably hard marble (did they have stuffed pillows back then? Because cushions are a MUST.)

Date: 2014-04-24 09:28 pm (UTC)I have to assume the Greeks had pillows of some kind. Surely they didn't sleep on marble or stone (meaning the upper classes, of course; the peasants undoubtedly slept on straw or some such). If they didn't have pillows, I'll have to look into Roman orgies. Those looked fun on I, Claudius.

ETA: Now the next step is a nice icon for you. Maybe Socrates laying back on his couch.....

Date: 2014-04-24 11:18 pm (UTC)That's twice now that you've made good suggestions (indexing the blog being the other), so I owe you a brilliant idea. I'll let you know when one hits me. :)

Date: 2014-04-24 11:37 pm (UTC)Thanks! It was gonna be the Chosen Two or the Dry Cleaning dance from OMWF. Can't go wrong either way. (I actually have 300+ plus gifs in my little collection...and use maybe all of 10 or so.)

You put it in writing so I consider that a contract. *lol* I'll probably come begging when I need one!
