Hello!

I do most of my friending through friending memes.
Feel free to friend me for goodies I post (icons, caps, fic, etc).
All I ask is that you comment if you take anything. Thanks!


Erin, but people call me Mari as well.
27, Canadian, employed at a job I like some days and tolerate others
Love and let love
Oh, fandom. I'm slowly becoming active in fandom again. If I had to label things I'd say my main one is The Vampire Diaries right now (read the books WAY back in the day so it took me awhile to warm to the show). I used to be very, very active in Supernatural fandom but I'm not any longer. I'm also into Doctor Who, Torchwood and Twilight (the RPF/S side of things mainly, and the movie version only). I used to be in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Queer as Folk fandoms. I still like talking about those shows now but I'm not active in those fandoms anymore. Friending me based on SPN, BtVS or QaF will be disappointing for both of us, sorry to say.
Jared/Katie, Brian/Justin, quasi-Gwen/Owen, maybe Ian/Nina (friends only?), Gale/Randy ('til death). I love original!Ruby. Jared/Jensen. Katie Cassidy is my girl crush. I like KStew, haters to the left. I love Rose. I LOVE DONNA NOBLE. I loooooove Jack Harkness. Zombies are the best thing ever.
Depends on the show so I'll say Spoiler-free.
Everyday is Defriending Amnesty Day here. Friend and defriend at will, I'll do the same.
I'm kind of a shitty commenter. I have good intentions but I'm easily distracted by shiny things. I DO read my flist and if I see something I think I can contribute to I'll comment, otherwise I don't know what to say or I have nothing relevant to add so I don't. If this bothers you and is against your journal policy, sorry.
Contact: leave a comment, send an LJ message, contact me on Twitter (@marishna) or email me. Please don't contact me in my personal journal regarding any community business.

I decided to go through and make all my caps accessible in one easy post, rather than looking through that damn tags list. Also, now I can just link this post rather than every single cap post I've ever made when I continue with my memories overhaul.

All caps with active links have been added to this list. There were A LOT more Prison Break and Veronica Mars caps posted but they were all on megaupload and I can't be arsed to re-upload them.

PLEASE READ THIS

I enjoy sharing the caps I make for people on LJ. I make them for my own purposes and to get the scenes/shows that I want for graphics but, really, what am I going to do with thousands of caps? So I share them so other people can use them for the same purpose.

If you have a fansite for a show/actor/whatever PLEASE ASK me before you upload them to said site. I'll most likely say yes. I know that I don't have the rights to the images but I put the time and effort into capping them for people to use. I appreciate knowing where they're going and for what purposes and to know there's some credit shown as a nod to the work that goes into capping/sorting/zipping/uploading to web space that is graciously donated to me for this use.

A heads up and courtesy is all I ask, thanks!


All links lead to posts where caps can be downloaded through zip files. Some may also have gallery links and will be indicated.

Please do NOT upload any of my caps to Fanpop!

I didn't do a list of everything I had written for last year at the beginning of the year, so I thought I'd do this instead. It's everything I've written on LJ from the past couple of years or so. There's none of my Buffy fic on here since that's archived away somewhere on sites in fandoms past. I'm making this a sticky, as well, for easy access and I'll try to remember to update it as I post new stuff.

Anyone else not able to click on the Facebook or Twitter crosspost options in the comment/post box?

Did LJ get the message and actually freeze their little project at the behest of thousands of users? Could it be? There's nothing in the [livejournal.com profile] news post or any new entries so I hope I'm not just on crack.

Hopefully it stays frozen.

I have the flu so I've been home for the past couple days. Ugh. My stomach's still in turmoil but I want to go to work tomorrow because I'm kinda bored and I don't know. But I don't like having ickiness in the staff bathroom. Conflict.

Since I've been home I've had time to read over the new [livejournal.com profile] news post here. Basically, if you've been under a rock, LJ has ever so conveniently altered the comment function so you can crosspost your comments to automatically crosspost to Facebook and/or Twitter.

NOT ONLY can you apply this to your own posts but you can go into someone else's post and crosspost comments from their entries. Including their locked and/or filtered entries if you're able to see their locked and/or filtered entries, that is.

[livejournal.com profile] dysonrules did an experiment of how the commenting and crossposting works and it's like this. Charming, no? So if you happened to use an icon made from a porn gif or a Harry/Snape macro or a questionable quote or ANYTHING it can lead to awkwardness, among other things. That's just on a fandom level. Already people have brought up the issue of stalkers, exes, parents, extended family, etc. I have both of my bosses on FB, even! My FB is quite limited to who I friend and, as far as I can tell, I've tightened the "security" on it as much as I can. There are a couple fandom people on there, just as I have a couple RL people on my LJ but it is just that--a couple. If I wanted those two worlds to collide I'd've done it myself a long time ago. I don't need LJ to act as the gravitational interference, thanks.

Apparently LJ is 'here' and they're compiling data from the THOUSANDS of comments left so far. There are also a couple polls in the comments of that thread about this new brilliant idea. Never mind that had they, I don't know, ASKED or run this by a panel of actual users or something before implementing it, thinking we'd LOOOOOOVE this new development, they'd have learned that, no, people don't want their comments crossposted because otherwise we'd do it ourselves.

I get that people take your private info and spread it wherever you want anyway (if they're a douche, that is) but now it can be done accidentally and at least if it was done on purpose it would take more effort to copy/paste it AND if you want to format it the same way LJ helpfully provides that would take even more effort. And if someone else is going to spread your private info everywhere, odds are they're not going to provide a linkback to the actual post, as in the LJ-provided links.

So yeah. I hate this idea. I hate it like I hate ... things I hate. People have also mentioned that the rights over content at each site are different so if someone else posts what you've done here on LJ under one presumption, now it's on FB and changes. SO YAY! Even more fail to roll around in, LJ!

In short (didn't mean to ramble on), please don't crosspost anything you say here onto FB or Twitter. The Twitter I don't really get bc it's 140 characters and most comments are longer but the sentiment still stands. If I wanted my shit there, it'd be there. The end.

OH! P.S. LJ says they're aware of and are working on the fail in tags using a /. Priorities! LJ has them.

Maybe I'll post some old icons now.

More TVD caps. I notice some of these are a little pixelated, almost, which maybe is because the default size they cap at is what I have here. I'll try the next batch at the more standard 1920x1080 that I see more often and find out how that goes.

I started to watch the Emmys tonight but I quit an hour in. I don't watch any but maybe one or two shows that were actually nominated (Community is the only sitcom I watch that's not syndicated and in re-runs ad naseum), I really didn't think the opening was that great or cool (seriously, how desperate and pathetic is NBC that the had to play on the premise of another network's hit show? I liked seeing Joel McHale, Tim Gunn and didn't realize Nina Dobrev was in the dance on stage until the end when people were all, "OMG! It's Nina!" and then in was over) and I thought the "comedic" voice overs and Q&A sessions were strained and awkward.

Normally I like awards shows but I guess since I don't have a vested interest in any of the nominated shows or actors it's hard to me to care. And the awkwardness and forced humour in everything exasperated me. Often the jokes in any awards show tread on annoying but tonight they pushed me over the edge. I don't know.

I signed up for a ballroom dancing class to start in September. I hope I like it. Was supposed to take it with a girl from my department but the class filled up before she could get in the one I'm doing so she's doing the one the next day. I don't know if I'm happy or disappointed because sometimes I really enjoy her company and other times I feel like talking over her because I can't stand listening to her. I don't know if that's just a personality thing with me and her or if it's where I am right now in my head. I don't like feeling like that, regardless.

I'm still struggling. I thought I was doing better, and I am when it comes to the desolate feelings, but now I'm passing into more frustrated/angry feelings and then not feeling anything at all. The only place I feel like I'm on an even keel is at work and that's because a) I don't want to lose my shit there and b) I don't have any time to. I guess that's a good thing?

The gag reel was a bit disappointing because it was so short, less than 4 minutes! Wish it was longer! Haven't checked out the other extras yet but I'm totally entralled by how much prettier the show looks on blu ray. The colours are so vibrant!

Not sure if the gag reel capped as clear as it SHOULD have, because I'm still wrestling with the whole blu ray capping thing (seeing as how you need two programs to cap a damn disc and there's dragging of files from folders instead of playing them directly, etc, etc. It's almost more hassle than it's worth but SO PRETTY!). There's also a delay when I hit the cap button, which is annoying, so there seems to be a split second of delay or something when I cap. Eh. I'll work it out, I guess.

I watched a number of movies this weekend--Death at a Funeral, Vampires Suck, Sex and the City 2, Green Zone and Killers. I don't think I really liked a single one of them. DaaF was probably the one I was least put off by but I don't know if I LIKED it. There was just a lot going on. I was disgusted by SatC2, honestly. I loved the first one, hated the second. The rest were pretty boring. I'd have liked Killers if the script wasn't so up and down. The concept had potential, for sure.

In other news my back hurts really bad and has since I've been back from NYC. While I was there we walked a lot and moving seems to help but since my life is generally very sedentary (work in an office where I'm sitting at a desk answering the phone all the time) and I'm not allowed to go to physio until I get an independant medical assessment (my work benefits have run out so my insurance company doesn't want to pay--fuckers) so I've been in a lot of pain of late. I didn't realize that physio WAS helping until I didn't have it anymore. :(

Doing a little better emotionally this week, I think. Sort of. I think I'm back to not feeling anything again. I have an exercise I have to complete for my next meeting with the therapist on Tuesday and I've been trying to think about it for the past two weeks. Evaluating my life is hard.

I'm trying to keep some stuff on my plate right now. I have a movie date Tuesday and Friday I'm going out with the girls from work. I'll see if Saturday the group will go out to Pirhana 3d.

I haven't posted since I've been back from New York. Finally got home around 2am Thursday morning. I got sick in the last couple days of our trip, I'm thinking from all the little shits on the subway who don't COVER THEIR MOUTHS WHEN THEY COUGH. UGH. Alisha got sick, too, and as far as I know she's still laid up with it as she didn't get to the going away party for a friend on Friday. I only stayed for a little bit as it was because my cold was all up in my brain. I'm feeling better now but still booger-y and cough-y and whatnot.

Got a second degree sunburn on one arm also, which was fun. That was even with 70 sunblock, but I guess I wasn't consistent with it. Right now it's a gross, cracked mess and is all scrunchy and kinda hurts when I lift my arm. FUN.

Took lots of photos in the first few days but then I got sick of carrying my big camera around and the little one had focusing problems so I let Alisha and Todd take over on that front. I haven't even looked at the ones I took yet.

I loved my time in New York, although I was definitely happy to come home after spending a solid week with two other people with very little alone time. Now that I'm done with that trip it's time for me to start thinking about LIFE things, about where I want to go with things, if I want to move, if I want to change careers and, if so, to what, etc. It's a bit daunting and was before the trip but moreso now because I realized on the trip that I feel as though I have no passion for anything. I don't know how to explain it. It's something I'll have to talk to my therapist about.

Some words on my thought processes of late, I guess )

I'm sorry my RL has been full of quasi-emoness of late. I don't even know.

I leave for NYC in a little over TWO DAYS! In 53-ish hours, to be exact! The closer we get the more jazzed I am! I keep gleeing over all the knock-off purses I want to come back with. And, who knows, if the price is right maybe I'll find myself with a real Coach bag. I'm mostly looking forward to the shopping, to be totally honest. I just want to splurge and buy stuff, as materialistic as that sounds.

Does anyone know of a website or a way to find out what TV shows or movies are filming in NYC? I'd like to see if I could work in watching Gossip Girl filming while I'm there because I'd LOOOOVE to see Katie!

Weight update and things )

I think I'm going to try to be more open about my therapy and the things I talk about with her along with the weight loss since it's all mixed in together and adds up to be one bigger problem. Hiding it and keeping it behind flock will only keep with the idea that I need to be secretive with the fact that I'm having emotional problems that other people have and are going through, too.

I want to try to be more proactive and forthcoming with those emotions and post about them more often, rather than when I finally realize that it's been awhile and I said I would. I need to see this as a chance to keep myself in check.

Attention New Yorkers on my Flist!! I'm going to be in the city starting on the 21st and I'm SO EXCITED! Perhaps there could be a meetup or dinner or something arranged?

I'm realizing now that where we're staying is going to be a bit of a hinderance to us but not too much of one, I hope. It's going to be a LOOOOOONG trek from the Newark airport all the way over to Queens (which I found out thanks to a website linked to me by [livejournal.com profile] itsthedetails. I kind of wish now that we HAD chosen a hotel in New Jersey but I don't know if it really would have mattered much in the long run. Once we get into the city or where we're going every day we won't care, I don't think.

We fly in on the 21st and I'm sure that once we get there on Wednesday we'll venture out a bit in the neighbourhood but I don't think we'll be doing anything too strenuous or touristy since it'll take us a bit to get to the hotel and nerves may be frayed. But Thursday? Watch out NYC! I want to shop, shop, shop. And then shop some more! We want to go to the Moma and the Museum of American History (pardon me if I'm butchering the names), maybe the Bronx zoo.

Can anyone suggest some good vintage places or funky clothing stores in the city that I should check out? Or some antique shops or just quirky things stores?

Okay. Trillian has been bombarding me of late with messages from AIM saying that version I was using as going to expire in a couple days. That was about two weeks ago. I said fuck it and just downloaded AIM again. It's the only one I've used in the past. I also got a new screen name.

So if you're interested in adding me your AIM buddy list my new name is makemyownfun. I added a couple people from my old buddy list but since it's so outdated now I didn't add everyone. If you'd like me to add you please leave your SN in this post. I'll screen comments if you want to keep it on the DL.

I haven't chatted with anyone in a dog's age and I kind of miss it.

If you need to email me you can reach me at marishna_rsc[@] yahoo[dot] com.

In other news, I believe I learned this lesson last year as well, but walking back from fireworks in flip flops is NOT adviseable.

Happy belated Canada Day!!
