fun_like_that

Well, this is it, I guess. My last post of 2006. Unless I start spamming everyone tonight. I might. We'll see. I have a fic to write and a banner to make and icons to tinker with. Whatevs.

I'm strangely un-retrospective about this year than I ever have. Maybe it's because of the weird place I find myself in life right now (kind of like limbo for the living, in a way) or the fact that I don't really know what I'm doing out here or whatever but there's not that much for me to say here.

I haven't really made any resolutions for myself. I want to be a better person. I've been trying to uncover parts of myself since I've made the move and decide who I am and who I WANT to be and WHERE I want to be and the bottom line is I want to be a better person. So I'm going to work on that. I want to be healthy and happy and make some friends and find a place for myself in the new year. It doesn't have to be THE place for me but I'd like to know I fit in somewhere and that I'm wanted.

I'd like to do more fannish things. I have a to-write list about a mile long that includes, but is not limited to: Jared getting married, Jared and Jensen the hockey players, a Buffy-esque "Normal Again" fic for the boys, and numerous other things I have started on my HD that haven't been finished yet. I'd like to maybe try to get to the Vancouver meet-up this summer (I think it's this summer?) or out there in general. Or maybe to New York. Somewhere. It might be nice to travel. And meet up with people!

I want a new computer and perhaps a new digital camera. Those are goals to work toward. Esepcially right now before I have to start paying back my student loans. I'd like to start paying off my student loans, actually.

But yeah. Basically it all comes down to wanting to be a better person and happy about myself. That's all that matters right now.

How about everyone else? Got any big plans for the new year for yourself? Resolutions or otherwise? More importantly- are you doing anything tonight? If you're not, want to come to a New Years chat or something? Leave your AIM SN here and I'll bring you in and we can ring in the new year together! I don't have anything planned because I don't know anyone out here and I thought it might be nice. :)

So, Happy New Year everyone! May 2007 be bright and cheerful and fannish (non-wanky fannish, please) and fun!

( A few words on 1x11 )

I wanted to get these caps up before I went to bed because I don't know how much time I'll have to do this tomorrow. And tomorrow evening I'll be concentrating on the Doctor Who Christmas special! *wibble!foams*

* 640x352 caps
* Uploaded to my own personal site.
* Comment and CREDIT if taking/using.
* The biggie- NO HOTLINKING. Don't be a bastard and make me replace my sample caps with a bright and gaudy "I'm a thief, ask me how!" message.

Please leave a comment if you're taking some/all of the caps. I'm a big fan if people leaving a quick message when they snag the caps since they're hosted on personal webspace and all. It's just the nice thing to do and I hate referring to people as douchebags when they don't. Really harshes on my karma.

The 1x12 promo caps are at the end of the third zip.

Torchwood 1x11 set 1 (797 caps ~ 18.8MB) // Torchwood 1x11 set 2 (797 caps ~ 17.5MB) // Torchwood 1x11 set 3 (798 caps ~ 17.7MB)

I'm excited for tomorrow because, you know, it's Christmas (which actually doesn't mean THAT much with me because anyone who knows me knows that I'm actually not all that jazzed over Christmas) but it also means that we get to have breakfast. It's not like I'm deprived of breakfast the other 364 days a year but it's something we've ALWAYS done- eggs and bacon and toast and juice and we all sit around after the gifts and have breakfast together. It's the best part, imo.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Good Tidings to You and Yours, Etc! Thank you to everyone who's been so great with commenting and stopping by my journal every week after their favourite episodes to dl caps and share their thoughts with me in response to things I have to say. This year has been SO AWESOME in terms of fandom and it's made me feel all squishy and warm inside. So thank you, again, to you all and thanks for making this a great holiday and fun time in general. *BIG, SQUISHY MARI HUGS TO YOU ALL*

Jumping on the bandwagon!

( The guidelines )

My wishlist

1) J2 High school fic. God, it's like crack. Or maybe a hiatus J2 fic, or a funny Sam/Dean fic. Just make it hot.

2) Veronica/Weevil fic. Something along the lines of this fic by kieyra. Or just more Wincest/Jsquared fic.

3) Paid time. I'm paid up until August right now but extra time never hurts.

4) Cards, letters, postcards, whatever. I really miss getting mail of any kind here. If you want my address just let me know.

5) A donation made to a charity of your choice in someone's name- yours, mine, your dog Bertha- whoever.

6) Anything cow-related. I heart cows. I have stuffed cows, a cow lamp (thank you again, leftovert!), cowslippers, a cow lightplate (that kallysten made for me!), cow LIGHTS (from twistinside82, I believe), etc. I would LOVE to add to that collection.

7) A round-trip ticket for my mom to come visit me for Christmas. World peace can eat my ass, I just want my mommy.

8) This t-shirt from Threadless.com (large, guy t-shirt, I guess), or this one if it gets reprinted soon.

9) Any of the Angel or House season sets. Or The Breakfast Club on dvd. Or anything from my wish list, really.

10) Candy, chocolate especially, cookies- anything with sugar even though I'm not supposed to have it. Bring it on!
