Fire in the Hole

Because, you know, yesterday a virus ate my mom's netbook and I happened to be the one sitting in front of it. Contrary to common family opinion, it really wasn't my fault. In fact, as my sister's boyfriend concluded, something triggered a virus that already was on the computer and it had been there ever since my mom's Avira spotted it an put it in quarantine. My mom actually knew about the fact that there was a virus in quarantine on her computer. Let's not talked about this further, though since I'd have to admit then that the last virus scan I did was in 2009.

( Computers: solving the problems we wouldn't have without them. And I'm pretty sure I already used that cut message before... )

Because I'm bored even though I should be doing other stuff...

Snagged from sangate: 



Top 10 Ships Overall
Top 5 Love Triangles/OT3s
Top 5 Canon Pairings
Top 5 "Not My Favorite, But They're Nice Alternate Choices" Ships
Top 5 "I Just Don't Feel What Everyone Else Is Feeling" Ships
Top 5 "Do Not Want" Ships
Top 5 Crossover Ships

( Some of them are all-time favorites, some are current... and some I had to make up on the spot... guess which are which ;) )

Also, in light of the recent "OMGWTFDONTCROSSPOSTTOFACEBOOKANDTWITTERORWEREALLGONNADIE!" hysteria going on: I'm a little appaled at all those posts telling me what not to post and how not to post because I do feel insulted in my intelligence. Honestly, everyone with a basic level of brains and tech skills knows not to repost any comments or friendslocked content and how not to do that, and I consider myself to be a person with more than just a basic level of brains and tech skills.

Or, in simpler terms: no, I won't crosspost anything of you and I trust you to know when to crosspost something from me and when not to. Which is why you won't see any of those panicked posts on the subject by me... and which is why I wish everyone would come to their senses and stop the hysteria. You're smarter than that, people, or you wouldn't be on my flist ;)

Today, four German soldiers were killed near Baghlan in Afghanistan and the media released the news a few hours ago. While I was checking Twitter for more info on it, I came across a tweet from my former local party organisation's press representative, stating that tomorrow there would be protests during a welcome home muster for soldiers returning from their deployment to Afghanistan. It's going to be the same unit that lost soldiers last year in September (remember, losing soldiers in Afghanistan is still a major event, and we're only now starting to realize what it means to be at war - the country is still reeling from the shock of what happened on Good Friday).

( Hate the war, love the soldier... or at least don't HATE them as well. )

On a wholly unrelated note: OMG LEVERAGE SQUEE! All of you were right! Leverage is like... really, really cool. I'm currently watching S01E02 and I'm already in love with the high tech toys and Eliot and Parker (and kinda Eliot/Parker... what? I'm really fast with shipping...) and Hardison and Sophie and Nate (and a little bit Sophie/Nate... I'm not quite sold on it yet). Oh, and explosions! That's really all I need. Yay Leverage!

Also... finished watching EUReKA's Season 3 and... I DON'T WANT TESS TO GO! Tess can't go and let us all plunge back into Jack/Allison darkness! Jack/Allison doesn't make any sense at all. They don't fit and they don't even have real chemistry (they do work fine as friends but every time the writers try to steer them in a romantic direction it all goes poof)... it just doesn't work. Jack and Tess... clicked. Their sense of humor is compatible, the look cute together, when they fight the sparks fly... Also, Tess is awesome and would so deserve to be made a regular... don't take that away, please. Make it work, writers. PLEASE! (also, could someone please free me from that bothersome EUReKA/SGA crossover bunny involving both Tess and Cadman that keeps on bugging me? Seriously, if I ever start writing it you all should DUCK AND RUN!)

Oh, also... managed to kill my laptop's keyboard. Thank God for external keyboards and sisters' boyfriends' who happen to be IT geniuses (both hard- and software). 'Nuff said.

I didn't simply abandon you without notice. Rather, my DSL abandoned me.

( T-Com fail... )

And now... I'll go back to packing again because I'm still not finished with doing it and God I so grew to hate it over the past few days. I have 30plus crates and there's still stuff lying around and annoying me. Blergh. On the plus side, I probably found someone willing to help me with the renovation and drive me from here to Berlin after I'm done with the apartment. Yay!

Also, on the writing side: I've written the prologue and the first chapter of the Shock and Awe/What Made All The Difference (to remind you: those are the verses formerly known as twiniverse and RNT -verse) crossover I promised at the end of Fanfic100 and I'm quite confident it'll actually see the light of the internet... if you're interested, that is.

• 00:11 Well... let's all hope it's just the exhaust that's a little clogged up and nothing worse. Good night, everyone! #
• 14:04 Mh, let's hope the laptop's only problem was the clogged heatpipe the guy at the computer shop cleaned up and not something more serious. #

Title: What we all crave
Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters: Cadman/Lorne
Prompt: #011 Red
Word Count: 1.347
Rating: K+
Summary: Dancing was never Evan Lorne's forte... well, dancing at overcrowded clubs with loud music, that is.
Author's Notes: There we go again, week two of the AMCM, as mackenziesmomma has dubbed it ;) She also pointed out to me at least one major research flaw in this story for which I'm still very grateful to her. BTW, I started twittering (i.e. microblogging on twitter.com), mainly to read others twitter, but also to give short up-dates on my various stories that are unfinished or are in the development stage. So if you want to keep up to date also on the stories that I don't update quite as often as Fanfic100, just look here. I promise to be more regular about this than with the actual updates to my multi-chaptered stories. And here's the LDT.
