geeky - sing the body electric:Without You - Julie Andrews
Medium: Television
Fandom: Doctor Who
Subject: Martha Jones
Title: Ode to Martha Jones
Warnings: possible spoilers for S4 of Doctor Who
Notes: Because Martha is brilliant, and she had to deal with all of the Doctor's emotional baggage, but still came out on top.
This is an attempt at following chronological order of Martha's year with the Doctor, though several of the songs apply to multiple parts of what she experienced.

I've been on a mix-making kick lately, and decided to make one for one of my new favorite TV couples, Chuck Bartowski and Sarah Walker. Most are from Chuck's PoV, or for both, with one special guest at the end.

I started this mix with the title and a Bon Jovi song. My love for Casey has been growing over the season. Though I love Chuck first and foremost (and have a mix for him forthcoming), Casey is just pretty badass. Plus, I know
lessthanpie loves him, so I thought she might like this. Hopefully this will help with the awfulness of work and the living situation ;)
Several songs reference Casey's relationship with Ilsa, so potential spoilers for Chuck vs. the Undercover Lover (though how you'd know they were spoilers if you hadn't already seen the episode, I have no idea.)

In honor of Pushing Daisies getting a full season pickup, I made two mixes. The first is dedicated to poor Olive Snook and her unrequited love for the piemaker. It's mostly musical numbers, seeing as Olive is rather theatrical, and, of course, played by Kristin Chenoweth.

Are you a child of the 80s? Do you remember when cartoons didn't have to be educational? Do you miss the good old days of Nickelodeon?
Well, here's a little piece of nostalgia for you - I know this mix never fails to make me smile. Face it, TV of the 80s and early 90s had the best theme music.
Credit for finding the songs and titling the mix must be shared with

I was mostly just playing with color and a bit of texture. No text on any of them, nothing fancy, but I like how they came out. *cuddles Photoshop* I've been going almost non-stop for...what, three days?

It was another odd, surreal, Hollywood moment. See, my family's thinking about adopting another dog, a buddy for our beloved Roxie, and today we met a shepherd mix named Coco. Turns out, the woman who runs the foundation is none other than the Exorcist's Linda Blair. She and the trainer Tim brought Coco who, we were warned, is extremely shy, but warms up. She did, a bit. She seemed to like my dad a lot, and then me, but as we were getting ready to go and I went to say goodbye, she snapped and tried to bite me. I think she was just tired and it was extremely hot, but still, that is food for thought. She's going to come over to our house and see how she gets on with Roxie on our turf, and then we'll see. She didn't seem to like Roxie too much today, and if that doesn't change, then there's not much point. We were also interested in another dog, but so far those people haven't contacted us.
And I'm getting a MacBook! Thanks everyone who offered computer advice, I didn't realize so many of you are mac fans! You've won me over, I'm hooked. I can't wait, though it's going to involve a lot of setting up so that it's got all my files and preferences. I'm kind of looking forward to that part though ;)
I completely overdid it today, and now am exhausted. Took 2 vicodin, and am now starting to float comfortably...

I've decided to write a book. Well, duh, but, I mean, one about my work experience, basically a fictional memoir. I started it, and so far I like the feeling.
That was this morning. This afternoon, at camp, I did something stupid and more stupidness came from it. It ended with me sobbing to my boss and my mom, a little girl in (apparent) tears, a hysterical mother threatening to pull her daughter from camp, claiming she couldn't be left alone with me, and incredible guilt over something that was just a dumb mistake.
I've hit a new low.
It is, however, excellent for the book. There's your damn silver lining.
~*~
Yesterday, I also broke down in tears. Something is definitely up with me, and I don't know what it is. No, wait, I take that back. It's:
*surgery in a month
*anxiety about UCR's lack of sending me info
*desperate desire to be done with work and off to Europe
*fear about grades
*exhaustion/let down post-finals
*and Uncle Jackass, who is tearing my family apart.
I'm just so fucking tired.

Lots of Mac, Logan/Veronica, and Veronica and Logan individually, as well as a few Wallace and a few Jackie. MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE SECOND SEASON FINALE! The rest will be found at
alius_solum along with icons from Gilmore Girls, Popular, Harry Potter, Clue, and some random quote icons, many of which have made their way through my journals at some point. Enjoy!

I'm typing all this from my aunt's house, and I'm being tormented by Franken-Fly. I swear, it's mutated.
More later, I'm sure.

In honor of St. Paddy's Day and our favorite Irish wizard, Seamus Finnigan, I offer you -
Summary: There's a tribanibian in the well at the Quidditch World Cup, and Seamus gets roped into helping Luna Lovegood catch it. (A missing moment set during GoF)
( Irish Pride )
Feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Seamus/Luna written for my pudding pal,
asyouleft because she asked for it, and so she received it. I should have been writing an essay, she is so clearly my fic pimp. What's interesting to me is that my take on Seamus/Luna turned out to be very much like Andy/Alison from The Breakfast Club which is a movie and a ship that I absolutely love. If I ever write S/L again, it'll have to be during a Hogwarts version of The Breakfast Club...and that's starting too many plot bunnies to handle. Argh.
Lyrics from the song Drops of Jupiter by Train were used. It's a very Luna-esque song, I think.
Summary: Luna observes Seamus and tells him that it's okay.
