pride_of_erinFirst off, Happy Birthday! to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ralu_1982. Since birthdays are usually a time for introspection, I have just one piece of advice - don't! Get out of your own head and try to enjoy yourself, okay? Much love to you and I hope you have a good day. {{{hugs}}}
Secondly, I had a weird-ass dream, and it is allkitestringer's fault
Thanks to Kite's recent discussions about whether or not Rodney McKay would really make the scientists cry, as well as my own current job woes, I had this freakin' bizarre dream, where I ended up being transferred to Atlantis and Rodney was my new boss. I freaked out because um, hello? So not a scientist. I can't remember what I had to do exactly, but I remember that I tried my best and ended up being pleasantly surprised because I actually understood most of what I was doing, and ended up doing a fairly good job.
Which of course was nowhere near good enough for Rodney, because he ended up screaming at me in front of the entire lab. At first, I just found it funny because he sounded exactly like he does on the show, but then words, like "stupid" and "incompetent" actually started to sink in, and I realised he hated me and thought I was nothing, and yes, I burst into tears. And he kept going while I stood there crying! (I'd like to think that Rodney wouldn't really be that cruel). It was bloody awful, I haven't felt that downtrodden since I was a kid. And it was made worse because this wasn't just anyone who hated me - it was Rodney who hated me. And I love Rodney, so I was pretty much devasted. I ended up running out of the lab, and then something else happened that I can't really remember - I think someone tried to console me, but I can't remember who it was. And then I woke up. And realised I'd been crying in my sleep. Yeah, pretty crappy dream.
And now to cheer myself up with some TMI memes, ganked fromthecityofdis:
Ten Ways To Know You're Reading A Fic By Me
1. It's slash. I just don't do het or gen, it's outside my capabilities.
2. It appears to have been written in a hurry and not very well thought out.
3. You get the sense that the author is great at breeding plot bunnies, but not so great at actually seeing them through to completion.
4. A lack of editing.
5. Commas! Commas everywhere! And usually in the wrong spots.
6. Run on sentences because I tend to just write as I'm thinking and as I'm thinking things just keep going and going, so I write it that way, thinking it sounds all lyrical and atmospheric, and then I read back and realise it doesn't, but I can't actually figure out a better way to put it, so I just leave it, and it ends up reading just like this sentence.
7. Either too much or too little dialogue.
8. Themes of desperation and obsessive desire, be it on a deep emotional or purely physical level. What can I say - it's my kink.
9. Incredibly lame attempts at humour.
10. Shout outs to canon - I love using 'real' dialogue or situations or themes and putting them in a new context.
Ten Things I Assume People Know About Me.
1. I'm female.
2. I'm a huge, sex-obsessed pervert. My kink is gay sex, and I'm not ashamed to admit it, even though most people think it’s weird or gross (which pisses me off - why is it commonly accepted, and even expected, that straight men will be turned on by lesbians, yet straight(ish) women turned on by gay men is somehow disgustingly wrong?). I will happily perve on hot men and hot women every chance I get, and if you catch me spacing out, you can pretty much bet that I'm thinking X-rated thoughts.
3. I'm a geek. Not a hardcore geek, who knows all the insides and outs of everything - get me involved in a meta discussion and I'll probably drown - but I love talking about my obsessions, and 40% of the things that come out of my mouth are quotes from something, and much of the time I'd rather be with my computer than other human beings.
4. I'm lazy. Not just lazy - LAAAAAY-ZEEEEEEEEEE. If something can be put off until tomorrow, why bother doing it today? You know those people who go crazy with boredom if they don't have a million things to do? Those people are freakish, alien life forms to me. I will quite happily sit and do absolutely nothing for hours on end.
5. I'm on medication for clinical depression, but I'm still insecure and prone to the occasional bout of crying, self-destructing and attention-seeking. I'm not proud of these episodes, but thankfully, they don't happen anywhere near as often as they used to. And I also, thankfully, don't have psychotic fits anymore, but that's a whole other story that I'll save for another time.
6. I'm a picky eater. I have the diet of the average three-year-old. There are so many yucky things that I refuse to eat, that my friends used to be embarrassed to go to restaurants with me.
7. I have a mild form of Asperger's Syndrome, which accounts for much of my weirdness.
8. I'm a Lee fan (and if you don't know that, where the hell have you been?) I think Lee Tergesen is the sexiest, most amazing and awe-inspiring man on the planet, and I'll gladly worship him and his work in the most undignified and fannish ways possible until the day I die.
9. Rodney McKay from Stargate: Atlantis may be a fictional character, but I love and adore him more than some of the real people I actually know. And thus, I also love David Hewlett, the man who brings him to life so wonderfully, and who is also an absolutely phenomenal actor in everything that he does.
10. I tend to be a tad obsessive about things and people that I like. *g*
Ten Things I Have Done (That You Probably Haven't)
1. Fallen down the stairs of a windmill.
2. Almost gotten run over by a bus outside the Sydney Opera House.
3. Been picked up by my feet and had my head swung into the side of a metal bed frame, resulting in a huge gash that needed stitches.
4. Created new identities for myself when making small talk with strangers (hey, it was fun and I wasn't ever going to see them again).
5. Put a death threat in somebody's locker in high school (you don't want to know the shit that caused - man, some people just can't take a fucking joke).
6. Climbed to the top of one of the pylons on the side of the Sydney Harbour Bridge - unbelievable view, it was fantastic.
7. Gotten so drunk, I passed out on the sidewalk in front of my house, and didn't wake up until a bunch of drunks walking up my street fucking tripped over me.
8. Gotten so drunk, I fell off the toilet in the ladies room, and gave myself a bloody nose when my face smashed into the stall door.
9. Gotten so drunk, I groped the jailbait neighbour boy.
10. Gotten so drunk, I passed out in the middle of giving a blow job (TMI, right?)
My FAQ
The problem with LJ is we all think we are so close, but really we know nothing about each other. So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away.
Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you.

Date: 2006-03-11 10:54 am (UTC)This is just too funny for words! And I thought me getting so drunk then passing out when being on the receiving end was funny.
You're my hero, honestly!
Love the memes.

Date: 2006-03-11 04:02 pm (UTC)1. Ditto
2. Absolutely ditto.
3. Pretty much the same, except for the quote part.
4. The part about other people who go crazy with boredom -- ditto. Don't understand them *at all.*
5. Medication, ditto.
6. Naw, I'll eat anything. Except tuna fish and lima beans. You gotta draw the line somewhere.
7. Thanks for the education. I had no idea about that syndrome.
8. Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. And I will try to feed your addiction until the day we die. :)
9. Uh, no.
10. Yep!
So, a question.... When are you coming to Florida? :)

Date: 2006-03-14 02:54 am (UTC)Oh, I wish - I'd love to meet you and so many other Internet friends. Maybe in a billion years, when I've either saved up enough money or they decide to give teachers a decent salary, LOL. I think the real question is, when are you coming to Australia? :)

Date: 2006-03-11 11:00 pm (UTC)Second of all...I don't even wanna go near the bj thing, but how can you get SO drunk as to pass out in front of your house?! That's not even funny anymore, that's downright dangerous.
Stop drinking, baby. It took me five times to spell that lasdt sentence...
Cheers!
Talking about innapropriate!...

Date: 2006-03-14 03:22 am (UTC)New Years party with the family in our backyard - we played drinking games, and Mum was fairly generous with the tequila shots, and then, predictably, everyone else united in their family bond by ganging up and treating me like shit - so I went out to the front yard to escape. And I laid down on the sidewalk to look up at the stars, and next thing I know, I'm waking up with people tripping over me. And it's not really that dangerous - I live in a pretty safe neighbourhood, nothing ever happens here. But yeah, it was still a bloody stupid thing to do.
