Since I've sorta lost the LJ love... Not totally leaving, but yeah, it just doesn't seem the same, I'd thought I'd sticky post other places that I hang out.

Fannish stuff (a lot of Top Gear/James May) on tumblr: http://slash-girl.tumblr.com/
Fanfic page on AO3 (I'll also post my fic here, too): http://archiveofourown.org/users/slashgirl
Twitter, infrequently updated: https://twitter.com/slashgirl (feel free to follow me)
Blogger, for work related stuff, including ranting and I'm trying not to have it too connected with fannish stuff: http://slashgirl71.blogspot.ca/
Oh, and I am on dreamwidth but tbh, use it less than LJ: http://slashgirl.dreamwidth.org/
I am on fb, but that's mostly for me to keep up with the family....

I think that's pretty much it.... I do miss the old days of LJ. Now, it really feels like a ghost town. :(

There, I'm not paying for LJ anymore and as of 10 Sep it'll go back to whatever unpaid is. I think I mostly lose my icons. But I hardly use LJ now and don't see the need to pay for it. Plus, money's tight now with reduced work hours and whatnot.

I'm not leaving LJ...no more so than I already have.

There is a website called Texts from last night and it's just as advertised on the tin. Sometimes funny, sometimes eyebrow raising (at least for me) but often funny... anyhow, on tumblr, there are comms for texts from last night for just about every show/fandom. It entails finding a pic that matches or illustrates a particular text. I do a LOT of these in top gear (cus, god help them...the boys illustrate far too many things...). Anyhow, saw this text and immediately thought of Thomas Gibson in Psycho Beach Party...and I'm sharing it here for the TG (uh, that's Thomas Gibson, not Top Gear. *sigh*) fans on my flist.

We'll get rid of Prentiss. Paget Brewster is quitting at the end of this season is up, when her contract is done. Yay! After her attitude when she was forced back on the show, I'm not surprised.

But given that I haven't watched beyond the first couple eps this season--I have to wonder if the show is too far gone to save now.

Hmm, Ed's gone so maybe they could bring Elle back. THAT would be awesome. Or maybe Seaver. Hahaha. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

Oh, and big Fuck YOU to all the people saying Criminal Minds should end because she's leaving. They survived quite well without her the first time and will be even better this time around.

Megaupload shut down, owners arrested.

Don't even NEED sopa or pipa do we? And fml, I'd just paid for a year's service with them. And they were the most consistent in terms of d/ling for me.

A timely and poignant reminder from Terry Kelly:


Story of the vid:
"On November 11, 1999 Terry Kelly was in a drug store in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. At 10:55 AM an announcement came over the stores PA asking customers who would still be on the premises at 11:00 AM to give two minutes of silence in respect to the veterans who have sacrificed so much for us.

Terry was impressed with the stores leadership role in adopting the Legions two minutes of silence initiative. He felt that the stores contribution of educating the public to the importance of remembering was commendable.

When eleven oclock arrived on that day, an announcement was again made asking for the two minutes of silence to commence. All customers, with the exception of a man who was accompanied by his young child, showed their respect.

Terrys anger towards the father for trying to engage the stores clerk in conversation and for setting a bad example for his child was channeled into a beautiful piece of work called, A Pittance of Time. Terry later recorded A Pittance of Time and included it on his full-length music CD, The Power of the Dream.

Thank You to the Royal Canadian Legion Todmorden Branch #10 and Woodbine Height Branch #2 for their participation in the Video.

Cus crazycakes bitch is back. And it's never any fun.

But I do lurve that Hotch's love interest is not and never will be Prentiss. And can I say I'm amused to hear (thru the grapevine) that some of the Hotch Prentiss fans are threatening to boycott the show? That made me laugh my ass off. Hate to tell you this folks, but nobody cares if you're not a neilsen family. Besides. Hotch has way better taste than ms. thang.

In other news, I'm pretty much hanging out on tumblr these days--get my fic fixes here or at AOO. I'm still base over apex for James May, have a huge, non-sexual love for Stephen Fry (he is so awesome and brilliant), adore both Alan Davies and Phill Jupitus and think Noel Fielding is cute and possibly cuddly.

Work is still work, nothing mind blowingly dumb going on lately but I'm sure that will change.

And trusting people is still dangerous.

I haven't watched it yet--am going to d/l it at work when I get there. (It fucking takes 3 minutes or less during not peak times. Yes, that's THREE minutes.) Then I may watch it. Maybe.

I'll be honest, I'm leery of watching it because I have a gut feeling that whatever happens in this ep is going to make me hate CM with the heat of a million fiery suns (or they'll jump the shark). I mean, they've brought Prentiss back--that's worth half a million, right there. Worst thing ever. I'd rather have Gideon back--at least that would be interesting--especially seeing him interact with Rossi. *heh* I am happy that JJ is back, cus at least SHE is cool. And kick ass. :D

This is the first time I haven't watched the broadcast of a CM season premiere. *sigh*

Right now, at this moment in time, I have absolutely no interest or desire to watch the next season of Criminal Minds. Hey, be nice to have Wednesday nights free after 6 years.

I still miss Elle. *sigh* But I don't miss Gideon.

For those wanting to know more about the recent DDoS attacks, yes, it looks like it was the Russian government trying to shut down the dissidents again.

As I said last time, while it's frustrating not to have access, LJ is a lot more than a social network platform. From the article:

"LiveJournal isn’t just a social network. It’s also a platform for organizing civic action. Dozens of network projects and groups mobilize people to solve specific problems — from defending the rights of political prisoners to saving endangered historic architecture in Moscow."

So while I know many are considering the move over to Dreamwidth and other such sites, supporting LJ is a way we can help support those who use it for more than a writing/roleplaying/social venue.


Also, as a FYI, LJ is giving paid users effected by the outage two weeks of paid time as compensation.

Westboro Baptist church threatens to protest Norweigan funerals

No words. I hope the Norwegians don't even let them into their country; it is their country and there is nothing saying they have to.

My only comfort, as small as it is, is the karmic debt these people are going to owe.

Not that I was really using it, but it seems google is suspending accts of people they THINK are using psuedonyms--and while my user name is technically my birth name, it's not my legal name (surname); and while you can supposedly get your stuff back if you show google that it's the name you use elsewhere....

Google can fuck off--they don't require you to use your legal name so wtf does it matter what your psued is?

I'm quite happy over at tumblr and here, not on FB much anymore and twitter once in a while...

She was only 27--and not a singer I was particularly familiar with, but as with any young celebrity it is a surprise--even with her history of substance abuse.

Go look at your blog journal. Find the last Fandom-related thing you posted. The characters in that post are now your team-mates in the Zombie Apocalypse.

How fucked are you?


My last fannish post had James May and Richard Hammond.... Which, maybe not the best choices, but I think we'd do okay. James can handle a gun (and a machete); Richard can drive pretty fucking fast, they're both pretty handy with fixing/making things...plus, I'll bet between them, they could build us a couple flame throwers. And they'd probably work, since Jeremy wouldn't be involved.

Just a heads up that I will be posting Real Person/People Slash on my LJ. I've been consumed by the Top Gear fandom and, well. Yeah. Any RPS will be friends locked AND I will warn in the subject line with RPS at the very beginning, so if you're not interested, you can skip them.

And why you don't see a lot of TpG discussion (oh, woe is me, another TG) here is because I tend to keep on my tumblr, where I post oodles of James May and some Richard Hammond pics.

If you feel the need to unfriend me because of the RPS--that's cool. Do what ya gotta do.
