but I'm on Tumblr correcting people's misinformation about Halo canon.

Don't judge me. Because of this story, I have been on Halopedian more often than Tumblr, LJ, FB...yeah, you get the point.

Dear Google,

I know that you will be our tyrant overlord soon enough because of your vast power and greatness.  You have an awesome web browser that most of the world uses, you make a car that that my blind uncle can drive, you let me download Angry Birds on my HTC phone, and you created a love for Google Docs in me that inspired me to write about myself in 3rd person.

But, now, I think I may love you anymore. Because of Research.

I don't think I can explain how awesome this is.  If I want to research anything, all I have to do is type it in and bam! the Google results appear in the panel. Master Chief? No problem. A 1920s bathroom? Got that too. ;)

Images, links to Wikipedia (or any other web page)...all right there for me to amass.

You are amazing and have enabled me. ILYF.

Love,
Me

The one liners! The Dennis Hopper! The unrealistic awesomeness of a bus!



I will never get tired of this movie. Ever. I really need to put it on my iPod so I can listen to it as I write.

You know what's the best part of all this Avenger flailing? 

Just about everyone has their favorite Avenger on my f-list and there is no wrong answer. Because they are all just that awesome.

Two days with my "I like crazy" icon...Summer insanity must be taking over my brain.

I signed up for another writing challenge...it's only a drabblethon! And it's a good thing because we know I can't possibly stay focused writing two big bang stories (in the same fandom no less) in a row without some kind of distraction!  Now it's your turn to sign up!

Photobucket
Click to find out more...

Go and sign up...I'll wait for you to come back.

I love challenges like these because I can write it whatever fandom I want.  Is it bad that I already have a post-it note with random fandoms on it?  I've got my Disney/Pixar movies, my video games, my TV shows, my cartoons and my movies from the 90s. 

Dude, this is gonna be fun.

First, Halo 4 Goodness...

Then, Halo: CE (Remix verision, as I call it)...

Now, Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword?

(And let's not even go into how much Babe is fanboying (is that a word?) over Tomb Raider, Modern Warfare 3 and Battlefield 3...)

I love E3 ♥

Story time!

Once upon a time, there was a blonde chick who was at home with her little ones during Christmas Break.  She wanted to write something (because the little ones were busy when their Pokemon!obsession), but her daughters had taken over her laptop (read previous statement about their Pokemon!obsession.  One was watching an episode on TV, the other was playing a game on the Pokemon site.)  Not wanting to upset them (and hear screaming/whining/complaining), she decided to go to Dino to write.

The only problem?

No word processing program. Other than WordPad, which is made of fail.

Er, no.

So, remembering the awesome spreadsheet that her incredible mod made for the [livejournal.com profile] scifibigbang , she decided to go to Google Docs to write something, anything, because if she heard anymore "I choose you, Pikachu!" she was going to go insane. Besides, it was great! She could type from computer to computer without having to email .rtf files (or something else as equally as lame).

(Yes, she did do a happy dance at this thought.)

So, she made it a habit, during Pokemon time, she would escape go to the spare computer and type.  Then, after the oldest daughter went back to school, she found that she enjoyed Google Docs so much, she started using it on her beloved old laptop, Lappy.  (Which was a Good thing, because when it died suddenly, she still had her story.) Even when she got her new computer, she Still used Google Docs because it was easier for her to write.

Six weeks later? She has written nearly 30k words.

No Big Bangs. No gift challenges. (Remember, that she wrote 90k last year and nearly half that word count came from Big Bang Stories.) Which leaves one unquestionable conclusion...Google Docs is her enabler.

The End.

(And no, I have no idea why I wrote that in third person. Except for maybe the fact that I'VE WRITTEN TOO MUCH FIC SINCE THE FIRST OF THE YEAR.)

I had this very cheesy post earlier...but, after going through my Photobucket account, I thought this would be much more amusing.  My interest in SGA had pretty much sailed away (though I do feel the itch to write something every once in a while), but dude, we had some epic times in the JT thread:

I know I have a couple of people on my f-list who are from Austrailia...(and even those of you who aren't from there could help).  I need a sentence (a riddle?) that would allude to Austrailia without saying "THE PLACE THAT YOU NEED TO GO IS AUSTRAILIA!"  I'm looking for some kind of interesting geographical tidbit thay is unique to the country without being too overt (read: not, "it's the biggest island in the world")

And yes, this is for a fic. :P :P
