Ugh, that was a long dry spell! Even worse for House, I'm still thirstin' for Cuddy.

But can I just say nice choice on the recurring guest stars? I mean, I know he was a plot device but I always did like the dynamic between him and Ziva. I'd ask for fic but it'd be creepy... Ziva and that much muscle. Not to mention he's too young for her. Maybe a little almost kiss interrupted by Gibbs... then Gibbs/Ziva.

OMG. That'd be cool.

Hm. I need to ask for your opinions again, people. I shouldn't really mention what I chose out of the skirts last time, in case people get offended... but I went with the orange. Which was doing me a bit of a disservice, going with what I thought was more typically "me" than what I really liked (but that's what happens, isn't it? You go for something you like and can't pull off, it's a waste) but then again, the orange has been popular with everyone who's seen it.

I'm getting this dress and I don't know which colour to go with.

Click the link, have a look at the pictures, tell me what you think. Here, I'll even put a picture of the dress and the colour choices under a cut for the lazy people (but do click the link, you get to see if from different angles and worn different ways).

The colours are black, white and those below (in the listing as well) -

1. pale sakura pink
2. burgundy
3. light blue
4. coffee brown
5. off white/cream
6. soft dusted lotus root red
7. gray
8. olive green
9. pale mint

I think the black would look great but I'm kinda hoping to get a dress that ISN'T black (though, to be fair, I don't think I actually have a black dress I can just wear casually and formally... I have the one I wore to my formal but it's heavy and not so fabulous, just because Princess Di had one, and the other I wore to my year 10 formal and is a elvish/vampire type fantasy, can't just wear around the place... and I don't have a LBD, not that this is a LBD... so it would actually be great in black but, for some reason, I don't want black) and the white would just be too WHITE. I look odd in white, I think it's just because it's so counter intuitive (definitely never wearing a white wedding dress... MAYBE cream but probably red :P)
Pale sakura pink makes me think of zombie skin and I think it would make my skin look weird. Burgundy is too heavy, I think. Light blue is VERY light and bright, think it would wash me out. EVen with the satin underneath, keeping it a light colour. Coffee brown is again, very heavy. Off white/cream looks nice, but I worry about what it'd do with my skin and if it would seem too close to white/wedding. Soft dusted lotus root red, besides being an awesome name, would come out too pink.... worried against my skin. The grey would be very smokey and priestessy, I think. Not too into that. Plus I don't really do grey, especially darker grey. Olive green looks lovely and is my first choice but I'm getting a different green dress and I think two would be a bit much. Pale mint... worried about how it would go with my skin, again.

So tell me what you think. I'll remind you that I am pale as bloody whitewash but I have a lot of freckles on my arms (and everywhere else) and I think my skin comes up more yellowish in undertone than pink. And I've got largely black hair right now (with varying colours - by way of extensions :P) If you like the green best, give me your second choice as well.

Since I was obviously too busy complaining about this on the phone to delirium_fish after it actually happened to say anything -

THERE IS NO NOBEL PEACE PRIZE FOR ENCOURAGEMENT.

That is all.

Michael Weatherly continues to make me want to bang my head against a brick wall with his patented Blank Face Acting.

But I did enjoy watching Cote be pretty and coquettish. And omg, can they NOT do the hair swept to one side thing? Besides it becoming a bit of a cliché (a HAIR cliché, that's terrible!), if I keep staring at her exposed neck, I'm going to... I don't know, explode? Something messy.

p.s. that last line was a little bit inappropriate, considering Ziva's Summer of Fun and Interrogation. Oh and by last line, I meant in the episode, not mine. But that too, a bit.

Ready for an explosion of fangirl awesome? Don't know how many people know about this, I was only just informed.

Canadian show.

Called "Defying Gravity" (FTW_)!

With Christina Cox.

And LAURA HARRIS.

AND THEY PLAY BEST FRIENDS.

CAN YOU SAY FEMSLASH EXPLOSION???

I really hope I can profit from the ridiculous number of WMC fangirls desperate for their actress fix.... hoping for much fic. Even though, out of the girls in WMC, Angie Harmon is the most interesting. But Laura comes in second. And she's not a scary Republican, as far as I know. Big plus.

Angela's shopping - 

Apple & Strawberry juice, Nudie Blueberry, Blackberry & more crushie juice, Nudie Cranberry, Raspberry & more crushie juice, sellotape, The Little Rascals on dvd and a bottle of Scotch.

Hm.

Ugh. Can someone PLEASE write some Gibbs/Ziva. This is ridiculous. As each episode happens, I begin to dislike Tony more. MICHAEL WEATHERLY IN A COMEDY ACTOR. HE IS GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES. BUT AS SOON AS REAL FEELING IS REQUIRED, HIS FACE TURNS INTO A BLANK CANVAS. Actually, A BLANK WHITEBOARD, BECAUSE CANVAS IMPLIES SOMETHING ARTISTIC WILL EVENTUALLY BE MANIFEST ON IT. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.

Seriously. There needs to be Gibbs/Ziva, for my SANITY.

P.S. Could Ziva save my life by making out with me, pls?

Ugh, i've done something stupid and I need some collaborative creative thinking to help me work it out.

I gave a long term fic a working title. But it was long so I put the abbreviation as the file name.

And it's been a while... I have forgotten the name. CRAP. And it wasn't too bad, either.

So please use all your linguistic and logical problem solving skills to help me!! I needs this name!

It goes PoLywtP.

Which means P___ o___ L___ y___ w___ t___ P___.

Seven words, the capitalised ones aren't necessarily longer (like the non-capitalised ones aren't necessarily shorter but at least one should be...) but they were the ones I decided were important (like when song titles used to capitalise the important words and leave the others out.... like .... oh, I don't know. The Rose and The Briar or .... fuck, can't think of any good examples. But just making the important words capitalised!)

The fic is femslash, long term, angst, magic related (Worst Witch, HB/Drill), one's a potions teacher, one's a PE teacher (in case youa re unfortunate enough not to have done WW), there are big doings a happening, bad guys, things like that. And oh GOD, I cannot think! I keep getting Pieces of ......... for the first two. And the y seems like it should be 'you' or your'.

Help me, help me, please! Only dedicate a minute of your time to it if you're not hugely interested, post anything that comes to mind, it might jog my memory. It wasn't a fantastically inspired title, probably a bit angsty, but it worked. And I needs it!

 Well, I need to be in bed like, now, but I wanted to write this somewhere.

So I've been reading Eat Pray Love or Pray Eat Love or Prey On Love or whatever the fuck this book is called (because it turns out I *am* one of the millions of women who buys into this stuff) and I got to the part where she's talking to ... Giuliano? Her twin language partner in Rome, anyhow, about how places have words. That Rome is SEX and that New York is ACHIEVE and Stockholm is CONFORM. And that people have words. And what was her word?

Well, I thought of mine quite quickly. My word is EVERYWHERE.

Because I am always in two places at once. I'm always thinking about one while in another. I've lived "everywhere", I've travelled "everywhere", I've wanted to be everywhere. And my thoughts are everywhere. My love is everywhere. My MIND is everywhere. I am never all at once. And I like how all encompassing but uncertain the word is. EVERY .... WHERE? I love everyone, I hate everyone, I am everything, I am nothing. I am strong willed and full of opinions but always questioning myself and incredibly suggestible. Everywhere. Every place, every nothing, every question.

I am EVERYWHERE.

If you had a word, what would you be? Think about it, because my first answers were flippant and annoying. Like CRAZY.

Um...

There seriously needs to be some Cam/Cuddy related to that plasma donation scene in The Tyrant. Like, seriously. You guys saw that, right?

Nom.

In other news, I HAVE BEEN REJECTED AS A DISNEY PRINCESS!! Not even a Princess - a baddie and a flower and a fairy and whatever other shit parts too!  They didn't even ask for my resume or to talk to me. If they did, they'd know they had a ready made Wicked Queen on their hands. I mean, I can do evil, I can live in Japan and conduct myself appropriately (they have a very intricate and sometimes plain old mystifying culture, the Japanese) and... well... I'm awesome? Whatever... it was a dance audition for an acting part. I didn't have a hope in hell.

And it'll be something fun to drop into interviews when I'm wildly successful in... whatever.
