Though I lack your power, I will still persist.

Just as I promised in my last post, under the cut are my top 10 dances performed by professionals on Strictly Come Dancing since I started watching it in 2008.

Ask me about a femmeslash pairing from one of my fandoms, and I will talk at length about that pairing!

To make this easier, I've made a list of fandoms that I have femslash ships in - you can ask me about fandoms that aren't in the list, but there's a good chance that I won't know who you're talking about.

( Fandom List )

Fun Fact: I've written out a massive list of my femslash ships ready for the next Porn Battle, and so far I have 225 of them XD

Yes, I know that Day 21 is actually tomorrow, but I forgot to do any of this for two weeks, so how on earth would I remember to do it tomorrow? I wouldnt't, that's how.

5. How about when you're not on the computer?
I like baking, I volunteer, I go to a sign language class and I get really frustrated at video games.

6. What do you wish people who read your journal knew about you?
I have the utmost hatred for the words "lame" and "dumb" when used to mean "bad" - I literally flinch when I see/hear them used that way. The same goes for "crazy" and "gay" when used in the same way (which I luckily see/hear less), along with "spaz" and "dur/derp" (which I seem to be hearing a lot more of all of a sudden - seriously, I haven't heard them since high school, and now they're back and I could scream).

7. What is your favourite community on Dreamwidth?
I don't have one :(

8. What community do you wish was more active?
ff_yuri - seriously, most of the posts there are mine.

9. Are there two people on your reading list that you think should meet?
Maybe? I dunno, what if they hated each other? They'd end up hating me for introducing them, that's what :(

10. Tell me about your default icon.
Cat + halo = angelikitten

11. What features do you think Dreamwidth should have that it doesn't currently?
A teleporter.

12. What do you consider the five most "telling" interests from the list on your profile? Why?
I'll tell you what my interests tell me - they tell me that I need to update my interest list.

13. Do you have any unique interests on your user profile? What are they? How'd they get there?
avoiding confrontation, colouring outside the lines, ridiculous ideas that just might work, ridiculous ideas that will never work, square numbers, triangle numbers - apparently these things are not as awesome as I think they are :(

14. Did you have a gateway fandom? Still in it? Why or why not? Is there a community for it on DW?
You know, I don't even remember. Answers on a postcard please.

15. What's your current obsession? What about it captures your imagination?
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic - it was something nice to watch on a not very nice day. At this point I'm probably meant to say "and here's a relevant community!", but there doesn't really seem to be one.

16. What are you glad you did but haven't really had a chance to post about?
See answer to question 15. I'd post about my feelings about My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, but I don't think anyone wants to hear them. Especially since I'm a ponyshipper.

17. How many people on your reading list do you know IRL?
Well, I went to school with wood_elf, hung around with oldredeyes, went to London with miss_odalisque, stayed at fizzyblogic and leanwellback's place numerous times (including Failmas 2008) and had them stay at mine, had acroamatica come to my house, and met shirasade at fizzyblogic's place.

18. What don't you talk about here, either because it's too personal or because you don't have the energy?
Nothing really. I mean I try not to talk about my depression too much, but that's not due to being too personal or energy-consuming - it's because I don't want to scare everyone away.

19. Any questions from the audience?
Okay, but don't blame me if I forget to answer them.

20. Yes, but what are your thoughts on yaoi?
It's nice enough, but where's the yuri?

21. What's your favourite thing about Dreamwidth?
My circle ♥

What have I been doing lately that has stopped me from updating? Not much really, although quite a bit of it has involved re-playing Final Fantasy X and trying not to destroy my PS2 in the process.

Let's just say that me and FFX aren't friends right now, and leave it at that.

The other day, I found an old CD that someone sent to me years ago which had some of the tracks from Final Fantasy IX. How it has survived this long is beyond me.

But, oh! I've been reminded that FFIX really is the game of my heart. ( Musings about the Final Fantasy IX soundtrack )

So not much has been going on, except I got some new clothes the other day. Anyone want to see some terrible photos? ( Warning: these photos are bad. )

PS: If you're interested in femslash, please check out my 30 Days of Femslash rec posts on Tumblr!

I was going to write fic, but then the post came, and with it a copy of Final Fantasy X that I ordered on Saturday night! I totally wasn't expecting it to arrive so fast.

Honest to god, I just put it in and let the intro run, and it feels like I never stopped playing ♥

I very rarely get just one idea for a fanwork - normally I get two at once, and they both end up being so flawed that I end up doing neither.

Just so you can see what I mean, here are the ideas I had yesterday:

( Contains spoilers for current series of Doctor Who )

Can I divorce my own brain now?

The upside to shopping on a Sunday is that I can get a bus straight to the shopping centre that houses the supermarket where I can get the products that don't make me feel like hell due to my lactose intolerance.

The downside is that I either have to get from the bus stop to the supermarket and back again in less than 15 minutes, or end up spending anywhere up to an hour waiting for the next bus. There are only two ways to do it in 15 minutes:

1. Move really fast
2. Don't bother paying

And let's face it - if you're planning to get away with #2, you'd better be ready to do #1 when the security guards notice.

I should have just stuck with my plan to write fic inspired by last night's Doctor Who.

The whole sending parcels out thing? Did not happen. I can't say why, or I'll spoil surprises for people. I did, however, manage to buy new trainers Good thing too, seeing as the old ones have holes in.

I've realised that I need more icons of awesome women/female characters. ( It turns out that I only have eight that I mainly use because I think they are awesome... )

So, I need more icons of awesome women/female characters, on the basis of because I said so. These are the ones I can think of right now:

• Garcia, JJ or Emily from Criminal Minds
• Max or Original Cindy from Dark Angel
• Wil or Vivian from Saving Face
• Pretty much half the characters in D.E.B.S
• The abovementioned Velma + Daphne high-five icon (the screencap must be somewhere, this is the internet for crying out loud!)

A short list, but I'm tired and can't put names to the faces of the other people/characters I'm thinking of. Help me? If you want to make suggestions in the comments, even if you're not sure if I've heard of them, that would really help.

Things I need to write:

• Replies to several comments
• My next review for gay_also_means_happy
• Something for the current queerlygen challenge

Things my brain wants me to write:

• How 5 queer characters reacted to the zombie apocalypse and lived to tell the tale - although I've only got 4 so far

My brain is weird.

One one hand, I just wrote a post for gay_also_means_happy, which is something to be happy about.

On the other hand, it took me two hours. TWO HOURS. And that's only if you don't count the 10 and a half months I've been meaning to do it for.
