1.) Check out the awesome icon littleboycalico made for me :-D It's too perfect, and I can't stop staring at it. PINTOOOOO!

2.) I didn't get to do a Thanksgiving post...in fact I didn't really touch my computer for the last 4 days, and it was strangely refreshing! I caught up with lots of friends, which was so necessary, spent lots of time with family, got drunk with my brother and his girlfriend, cut down my very own Christmas tree for the first time(!!), made a gingerbread house, and watched the Eagles lose.

3.) I have a lot to be thankful for this year and I try to remind myself of that as much as I can. One of the things I am truly thankful for is YOU GUYS and the interactions that I have with everyone that I've met online. Fandom and my fandom/LJ friends are a really important outlet for me, regularly bring me joy, and add a real happiness to my life.

OKAY, ENOUGH SINCERITY. I'M ALSO THANKFUL FOR THESE HOTTIES:







4.) Fic update! Coming soon:

spacewrapped fic on December 8.

ksadvent fic on December 22.

January will be dedicated to editing and finishing my epic monster fic of Pinto angst, one year in the making, for darlapr0duction and Help Queensland.

And after that - so many ideas and WIPs of Pinto and Star Trek fics that I am excited to get out of my brain and into yours. So let's all cross our fingers and hope that I don't get sucked into the Avengers fandom before I get a chance to write them all ;-)

OMG Zach's Kickstarter video. All I'm saying is - I TOTALLY CALLED THAT NOAH IS BRITISH.

From the video -
Zach: Hello, good day. My name is Noah. You may recognize me from paparazzi shots walking about Silver Lake.
Sian: That is so not even close to his voice, there is no way he's British.
Zach: Yeah, he is British. He actually...he swam here from Britain.

From the fic -
"Noah would probably roll over and say ‘Please, if you must eat me, could you at least use the good silver’.”
Chris burst into laughter. “Are you serious? Did Noah really have a British accent?”
“Oh totally,” Zach said, as though it were obvious. “He was a gentleman through and through.”

I'M JUST SAYIN'...

I love that he mentioned the paparazzi shots. He totally knows Noah has fans. Everything about this is adorable.

1. Zach bought Noah a purple bed. <3

2. Thanks to everyone who responded to and commented on my recent poll :-D Or, I should say, thanks to most of you. Note: To anyone who answered 4 or 5, if I end up getting that picture as a Christmas gift, you will FEEL MY WRATH. ;-) Dan found that drawing online somehow and was like "OH MY GOD, THIS LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE HIM!" and I was just in disbelief, like "WHAT THE FUCK, THAT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING LIKE HIM!! THAT LOOKS LIKE A DRUNK HOBO!" and he's like "WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF I GOT THIS FOR YOU AS A PRESENT?" and I'm like "I WOULD CRY." The "artist" did drawings like that of a whole bunch of celebrities....I'm still not quite getting over the fact that he charges (and possibly makes) money off of them. I was under the impression that actual artistic talent was required for that sort of thing. Sigh. Missed opportunity.

3. Dan went by his mom's house and hit the jackpot on Star Trek: The Next Generation action figures from his childhood. Seriously, he has like every single character and all of the accessories and he brought them home so now I have them, wheeeeeee! Pictures to come, eventually :-D

4. Speaking of Star Trek, we've been taking full advantage of the new Netflix availability. We started watching TOS but then got distracted by watching ALL of Enterprise and OMG - I love it! For some reason, I didn't think I would but... ♥♥♥♥♥♥ I love all of the characters!!! Except Trip. Sorry. But I even love T'Pol and I totally thought she would annoy me but ♥♥♥♥♥♥! I'm dying for her to get with Archer though. I've only watched about a quarter of the episodes, while Dan's been watching the entire series...we're up to like episode 80 now.

Enterprise fic recs? Anyone? Like I said, I love them all, except Trip, he annoys me, but maybe it would be okay in fic since I wouldn't have to listen to his voice. But srsly, you guys...I'd even read het for this show. And that's saying something.

I'm looking forward to getting back to TOS though. I'll keep you updated with my thoughts and observations along the way!

5. Fic update - posted my trekrpfexchange fic - I'll repost it here soon. From this point forward - no more challenges/exchanges/charities/birthdays etc until I finish my long-ass, kind of fucked up, Help Queensland fic and then a bunch of other fics that I'm aching to write. Life is insane, so this might take awhile.

6. Speaking of life - next weekend I'm heading up to Montreal for a long weekend with my family. Dan's staying home with the dogs. Then a little while after that we're off to Belize for a week. It's only been 2 years since our last trip, but I'm so freaking excited to go back to Central America. My heart is happy.

HOW'S THE PORN?



HERE'S TO ANOTHER YEAR OF BEING RIDICULOUSLY GOOD LOOKING!

Fuck Hate (this is an awesome video but I feel like I should warn for little kids saying "fuck")



Dying again (Probably everyone has seen this, but I'm posting it here so I can have it to watch forever and ever. And ever.)



"I licked your face!"

Finally, some funny quotes from this morning in Pinto chat:

"Fucking Sarmy...I blame them for this whole thing"

"I feel bad for people who really like the play and won't get to see it because of all the ZQ fangirls. But they don't love the play as much as I love ZQ." ha ha :-D

and finally, STAY TUNED FOR THE STORY OF THE TORRID AFFAIR BETWEEN HOUSEPLANT AND WATER BOTTLE...DUN DUN DUN!
