A Sunshiney Day

I've Never Been Anywhere As Cold As You

2008-11-12T02:58:31Z

In the last year I've learned a lot.

I've learned that no matter how much you plan, there will be little things that go wrong that you can do nothing about and that's okay.

I've learned that you can't make a person care about something no matter how much you feel it should mean to them.

I've also learned that things aren't always what they seem.

I've learned that when the times get tough, the people you thought would never leave your side are suddenly gone, but not without leaving a trace of themselves behind. It's that trace that leaves a hole that you're not sure you can hide. Those people may not even realize they've done it, but more times than not, they do and just don't care. Those are the times that are the worse. Those people who only hang around when the times are good. When things can benefit them or they can get a laugh at your expence.

I've learned that I'm too nice, and the saying "nice guys finish last" is absolutely correct. When you're nice, people walk all over you. You go out of your way to make people happy and all you get is shit on. I'm sick of it.

I've learned that I'm a better friend to others than most of them are to me. They say you're lucky if you have one or two "True" friends in your life, but what if you thought you had five or six only to find out that in fact, you do only have three. It's still amazing, but disappointing.

I'm done living my life around people who are takers. Thank you to those in my life I consider my 'true' friends. You know who you are, and you know I'd do anything for you.

Existing... It's just not enough anymore...

                                                                                                                  Tonight
                                                      Leave me alone I'm lonely
                                                               Alone I'm lonely

Well, clearly my last week hasn't been any better than the ones before that. I'm still insanely frustrated, but I now find myself escaping at work (instead of from work) or into my online communities. I feel bad for some of my online friends as it seems that all I do is unload on them.

I'm starting to feel as if I'm slowly going mad inside, and no one seems to notice. My memory is shot all to hell. I sometimes slurr or mix up my words. My co-workers look at me funny and we just laugh it off, but I feel like my mind is screaming and noone can hear it. I have a constant headache and am never hungry.

Then I find out that those I love are feeling like I'm being too forceful; and they're getting to the point where they don't want to do anything... I didn't realize that asking for help with invitations (there were close to 200!), making sure everyone got fitted, and saying that part of my gift to them was a spa morning could be considered being too forceful... The only things I think I've been firm on was the band playing at the Stag, and getting the tickets for it out; and last time I checked two requests out of the hundreds they should be doing shouldn't put them out too much. I realize that everyone has their own lives, that's fine, and they say they'll be there mentally for me, but right now, no one (that isn't online) is there for me. I'm afraid I'm going to end up in the hospital yet.

                                                                                      I'm tired
                                                      Leave me alone I'm lonely
                                                               Alone I'm lonely

Every night, when I should be trying to complete my two courses or work on wedding stuff, I instead attempt to drown myself online in fantasy worlds. It's so much more fun in there. I look forward to the nights where both Kat and I are home and online, our conversations may be whacky and usually on one topic *drools over Torchwood*, but it gets my mind off of a lot of thing. Same with YIM chats. Love those things. I get to listen to other people complain, joke, theorize, and firmly plant themselves in the gutter.

Lately Television hasn't even been an outlet for me. I used to look forward to Idol, Bachelor, and Grey's nights, but now I anticipate their end so that I can get back to my fantasy worlds (or more correctly- Scifi worlds?).

                                                                No you can't
                                                      Interrupt me in the shower
                                                               All I ask is for
                                                           One fucking hour!

And really, that's all I need.. one hour to just be with myself. Or one hour totally undisturbed at the barn. Right now it feels like the only one who notices the difference in me is my horse. Animals are so smart like that. It would be nice if people had phenominal senses like animals do. Being able to sense fear, stress, remourse... all those good emotions...

That's all for tonight, I have a splitting headache. The hockeygame is on and Detroit is winning 4 -2 with 11mins left. That, I have decided, is going to be the highlight of my night....

Frustration

2008-05-02T11:21:30Z

Frustration. Sometimes it's enough to kill you. Sometimes it's enough to add a bit of excitement to your day. It's a fine line. And that in itself is frustrating enough.

I'm annoyed.

I'm living in a shit town. I'm back at home. The latter isn't bad on the wallet, and I love my parent's dearly, but I have ZERO time to myself. On weekends I'm constantly surrounded by people. With the wedding, I'm constantly being asked to make decisions and choose colours, or desserts, or where each frelling flower should be set. At work we're being run off our feet because the higher-ups don't think the 9 out of 24 special needs kids means we should need a bit of extra help!! I'm just getting drained. And it's making me terribly irritable... which I have been able to keep in for a while. Not taking it out on anyone. But that's not working so well anymore. I get annoyed much easier than usual, I'm not sleeping well, and not hungry.... I think I put too much on my plate for this year and there's nothing I can do about it....

A bit of light in the dark tunnel though. Tomorrow I'm heading to the cottage. I'll still be surrounded by people whining and complaining, and telling me to do things, but somehow it's different up there. Sunday I'm going to go to The Valley and do some visiting there. It will be much needed, I can always relax while I'm there!

Ciao

So I have to admit that this is probably not going to be the most entertaining post in the world. More a rant my recent misfortunes. I love my job, I seriously do. There's nothing more great in the world than to see the kids you teach use what they've learnt, or to hear through the grapevine how the parents are boasting about the amazing care their children are getting; but there are those days when I seriously am scared for the future of the human race.

Some of the things these kids have to deal with I think I would have trouble with. And the behaviours they exhibit because of these things... well if I were the parent I would be scared and ashamed. But these are the parents who have their heads so far up their own asses, they couldn't care less what's happening to their kids mental states. I am a firm believer of an interview process before one is allowed to have children. Or a psychological exam..... yes, I think that is the best way to go.

In other news, I'm greatly looking forward to this weekend. My bridesmaid's are coming up tomorrow and we're going to address the invitations. Amanda's coming tonight, we'll probably go out to see Dakota as I have to pay my board anyways; the rest of the girls are coming tomorrow. We're going to go look for shoes for them too. I'm looking forward to a girls' day.

Hrm.. no time for Site of the Post today, but I'll post a few of my icons, it is afterall Hockey Playoff time :D

Detroit RedWing Icons and 1 Banner! (They're tied 2 - 2 in their series with Nashville as of right this moment)

Favourite Fanfic Quotations... Past & Present

2008-04-14T23:03:25Z

So I have this really odd habit... when reading fanfics, listening to music, and watching T.V, I tend to write down any lines I find humerous or thought-provoking. While chatting to csikat today I decied that I would post my favourites from fanfics past and present. The sad thing is that most of these are from so many years ago ( 4 or 5!!) that I totally don't remember who I should be crediting.. which is sad... So just let me send credit out to any and all fanfic authors!! Most of you do an amazingly accurate job of protraying our most loved characters from books, movies, television, and comic book (I read once that if something exists, there are fics about it... ). So here are my favourite quotations from the best fanfics from all sorts of genres!!! Again, thanks to all you amazing authors!!! Warning.. some of these aren't exactly PG.. and some even contain *gasp* slash references!!

Harry Potter
1. “Neville. You wouldn’t know a cunning plan if it came up to you with a large sign that said, ‘Ask me about my cunning plan,’” Draco said.
2. Draco: And he might turn purple and dance around naked shouting "I'm a fuzzy frog" at the top of his lungs, but it just isn't in the cards, baby.
3. If velvet could speak, it would sound like Rickman
4. “Quello che voi siete noi eravamo; quello che noi siamo voi sarete.”
“Translation?” he queried into her ear. Hermione fought the urge to lean into that warm, intimate tickle.
“That which you are, we were; that which we are, you will be.”
5. Reality. And not just the obvious oh-my-God-I’m-not-a-virgin-anymore, I-can-never-touch-a-unicorn-again, I-hope-my-dad-never-finds-out Post-Coital Panic.
6. He couldn’t think of one other thing he’d done, ever, that had taken so little actual thought, while requiring such a high B-to-B ratio.
That was to say, balls-to-brains. (Draco kissing Hermione)
7. One minute, she thought furiously, he’s soft-voiced and insinuating and, despite all physical indications to the contrary, the Sexiest Man Alive. (Hermione about Snape)
8. It had never happened before, so he wasn’t entirely sure. But unless he was gravely mistaken, he was in love. (Percy about Oliver)
9. Okay, Hermione thought, this afternoon had now officially moved waaaaay beyond ‘odd’, and was turning left at the signpost marked ‘Salvador Dalí’.
10. He held her open, and he brought her up, and he sent her over. (I believe this one was Snape/Hermione too)
11. Ron really wouldn't recognise a rhetorical statement if it wore an illuminated sign.
12. Sometimes I wonder if it is possible to love someone so much your very body aches. If it's a common thing to feel as if every cell burned for that special someone, that if something ever happened to them your blood would be replaced with fire and glass. (Percy in his diary about Oliver)
13. Severus: You were so afraid of what could happen to you that you… frowned?
Sirius: Yes, who do you think you are? Alan Rickman? and my raised eyebrow beats a troll!
14. Severus: *Why is everyone so stupid and I’m such a supreme being? look*
15. Sirius: *pulls Lucius closer and marvels at his newly-made Siriusburger*
16. In our potion next I splash
Leather slacks I wore in Slash,
Milkbone on which Fluffy chews
Fanfic starring Mary Sue
Choc'late bar of Remus Lupin
Winky's bowl that she slurps soup in
Discarded scene from Chamber's script
Rumored Ron & Hermy ship
Old PlayStation smashed by Dudley
Critter that Hagrid thinks cuddly
Snitch that scored in Chudley win
Piece of Viktor Krum sharkfin
Riddle's message Ginny scrawled on
For the ingredients of our cauldron.
17. PURISTS
Whenever there's danger
He shows the white feather
FANDOM
Who cares about that, he looks good in leather
18.Do these people even realise how Freudian this picture is? (Then again, maybe sometimes a broomstick really is just a broomstick. Unless, of course, you're Oliver.
19. Secondly, if you weren't so obsessed with hurling things (bludgers, Percy Weasley, etc) at my groin, there wouldn't be a problem. (Oliver)
20. Do you smell that? It’s fanboy, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. (This was in an MST, it's Lucious to Draco)

Lord of the Rings
1. If once was all he would have, once would have to do forever. (Legolas... don't remember with whom)
2. Legolas did not tease, but sought to worship. (with Strider)
3. "Let me draw you into the light, King of Gondor. Find your peace within my body and let it strengthen you." (Legolas/Strider)

Stargate
1. They missed the laughter and the arguments almost as much as they missed the hot and steamy sex. (Jack/Sam)
2. Despite himself Jack sounded petulant, like a child who hadn't got his way.
3. ...and it was then that she suddenly remembered why wearing a skirt was the best thing in the world... (Sam)
4. Is it not the way of the Tau'ri to take comfort where you may? (Teal'c)
5. it was her intelligence, her compassion and her bravery that had finally won the old soldier's heart. (Jack/Sam)
6."I'm fine," the coldness in her voice seemed to drop the temperature in the room. (Sam)
7. He was funny, sharp-witted and playful - she liked him very much. And the fact that he was unbelievably sexy had nothing to do with it. Nuh uhh. Nothin' at all. (Jack/Sam)
8. At some point, they'd crossed over the line of innocent flirting and some of their conversations were so sexually charged, Sam was beginning to need a cigarette after each one.
9. Saying he was 'packing' would have been an understatement. (This one still cracks me up.. I believe it was Sam and Teal'c...)
10. Definitely not the missing member of our team with green eyes and an ass that could crack walnuts. (Jack about Jonas)
11. And I will deny any and all accusations that the only reason I reacted so quickly was because all I saw was the ass that had been the star of the majority of my fantasies fast disappearing into the distance. I’m a Special Forces operative, a finely honed weapon of superb cunning and skill that….Oh, who the hell am I kidding? It was the ass. (Jack about Jonas)
12. I hurry across to the couch and find a crumpled alien lying on the floor and staring up at me reproachfully in the moonlight. (Jack/Jonas)
13. A genuine, light-up-a-pitch-black-room Jonas Quinn grin almost blinds me (Jack/Jonas)
14. Nope, definitely didn’t see it getting this extreme between us first time out of the gate. Pardon the pun. (Jack/Jonas)
15. Oh man, why me? I ask you, have I really been such a bad person over the years that I deserve this? I know I was a little ticked before when he so loftily informed me that he wasn’t exactly a newcomer to the manly side of the bedroom Olympics but I got over it pretty quickly when I realised that it meant I could look forward to nailing him to the mattress without worrying about calming any pesky virginal qualms. I tell ya, somewhere in the cosmos there’s a hell full of snakeheads that I’ve blown to shit all laughing their wriggling little asses off at me. Possibly with Apophis leading the ‘na-na-na’ section. Crap. (Jack/Jonas)
16.All the same, it can’t hurt to put in a call to Thor in the morning. I hear the ass end of the universe is very nice this time of year. (Jack)
17. “But see, I’ve got the perfect solution!” He stands up straighter, throws his arms out, and puts on what he knows is his most charming grin. “A Jonas sandwich!”
18. The looks he keeps sneaking are as close to scorching as propriety'll let him. (Jonas)
19. "Working hard, Major?" The colonel asked glibly.
"Sir," was all she could manage as she let her hand holding the weapon fall to her side. Martouf slowly extracted his hand from her chest, returning to circle her waist, and made no move to release her.
Jack stood with his hands in his pockets, obviously unimpressed. "Am I interrupting something besides a weapons demonstration?"
"Nothing that can not be continued in your absence," Martouf challenged.
Sam almost smiled. (This is from my all-time favourite Sam/Martouf fanfic, it's insanely well-written! It's called 'The One You Hold')

Torchwood
1. Since the world wasn't ending after all, at least not that day, everyone had gone home.
2. Jack leaned in to the screen, studying the weather map. Absently, his hand slid down to rest around Ianto’s waist. Ianto closed his eyes, and a cold chill ran down his spine. Trust Harkness to flirt without even noticing.
3. Jack was probably out somewhere, taking out his misery on some lucky partner
4. anywhere on Earth, a smile and a nod from Jack Harkness was all it took.
5. If anticipation had a scent, it would be ink and testosterone. (I believe this was Jack thinking)
6. Presented self to Jack - found him hard at work, then again, have never found him to be flaccid at work, so no change there. (From Ianto's Diary)
7. many casualties as civilian populace tends not to take cows with rayguns seriously (From Ianto's Diary)
8. The look on the man’s face was so beautifully raw (Jack about Ianto)
9. Ianto was certain that there was no more glorious a creature in the universe as Captain Jack in the throes of passion.
10. on Jack it looked beautifully vulgar and raw.
11. If there was anything more reliable than a sunrise it was Jack's libido
12. The push forward was poetry in motion, a completion too great for words or even thoughts to acknowledge. (Jack/Ianto)
13. The air tasted like love, a pheromone symphony, the chemistry of a dream. (Jack/Ianto)
14. I blame Ianto, he must be putting ‘Gay’ in the coffee (Owen's Diary)
15. Ianto announced he was going back to the Hub with Jack to screw him senseless. (Owen's Diary)
16. Jack: Good sense is overrated.
Ianto: Aye, but you shouldn’t speak ill of something you haven’t tried
17. You’re making that face you make when I serve you Instant and you’re trying to figure out why (Ianto to Jack)
18. Jack grinned, and the look in his eyes was so thoroughly filthy that it sent a jolt of feeling straight to Ianto’s groin
19. Repetition and elaboration, lovemaking as fractal art. (Jack/Ianto)
20. Watching Jack eat always amazed Ianto. It was hypnotic, in a vaguely disturbing way.
21. Five billion years into the future, the Face of Bo sings his ancient songs and those able to hear him weep for love.
22. Ianto could have pulled away, or taken a step back, but he didn't. He barely even considered it.
23. Jack kissed the way he did everything -- with total focus and commitment. His mouth was hot, his lips soft, and his tongue... was something unto itself.
24. No need for Welsh reserve (Jack about Ianto)
25. Ianto had never seen quite that expression on his face before -- it wasn't the typical grin, nor was it the revealing smile they'd shared earlier. It was something else entirely, something intense. Something demanding, and just a little bit terrifying.
26. Jack stopped kissing long enough to whisper in his ear, his voice throaty, intimate, urgent. "You want this." It almost wasn't a question.
27. Jack was the one who was beautiful, his hair tousled, his skin lightly slicked with sweat, cheeks flushed, eyes dark with passion.

Just as a side note, feel free to post in the comments on your favourite quotations from your favourite fics too!! Links are more than welcome as well!

Human Woes & Complaints

2008-04-08T01:05:14Z

So I'm in tonight just for a random rant....

I have to say that I'm not pleased with the way the us humans are turning out. Whatever happened to the days where parents acutally cared about their children? It's terribly sad to see these days. I swear that people only have children because they think it's the right thing to do.. or perhaps they want something they can name or dress up... get a damn goldfish if you want to name something... It's no fair at all for these children to be tossed from place to place throughout the day. Some go to the babysitter before and after they're with us for a 7 or 8 hour day; only to go home to have dinner and go to sleep. Where is the interaction with mom and dad? There is none.. it's too much work.

And that's another thing that bothers me... why have kids if you aren't going to spend any time with them?? Your child looks up to you! And I bet you don't know how many times they cry for you throughout the day. Or maybe you do know but don't care... take some damn responsibility for once in your lives. And I'm not sorry that they are making you late for your precious job in the morning because they are crying not wanting you to go.. maybe you should take a hint from that! It just makes me so mad.

I'm not damning all parents though, there are lots out there who do care and drop-off at the last minute before they have to be to work and pick-up as soon as they are done work. That's great! Those are also the parents who ask how their child's day was.. and what they ate for lunch! They also ask for tips on important things! They thank us too.. that's a big one... because clearly we don't get paid enough but to me, a simple thank you means more than the extra money would. It means you care about what your child is doing throughout the day and you care that they are getting great care!

Okay, I think that rant is over.....

A Long, Long Week.....

2008-03-31T00:08:13Z

Wow, what a week it's been, and to top everything off, I'm as sick as a dog today! Just woke up having difficulty breathing, a nose that's running like Niagra Falls, and a fever... yay....

It's a big weekend for television coming up... the finale of Torchwood S2, and the premire of Doctor Who S4 (or, if you want to be technical, S30 lol). I'm quite excited though Katie said she head bad things about the finale of TW.. that makes me sad. Is it bad that I kind of hope someone dies? Like Owen... or even better Gwen? Why not Rhys you ask? Because that would just open the door right up for more of that Gwen/Jack rubbish. TPTB must stick to what they've made canon, and that's definitely NOT Gwack LOL!!! Oddly enough, that's the sound I make whenever I think of Jack and Gwen together too....

Life has been a tad bit busy and annoying the last week. Easter Monday I spent with Dakota which was nice. He was frisky as anything, which excites me for the upcoming team penning season. I really can't wait for it! Anyways, Tuesday was a night to myself where I just did homework and lurked online. Wednesday we has a training night for work... okay, I'll all for professional development... I think it's needed and valuable... but when it's an hour away, 3hrs long, and on top of an 8hr work day, it's just plain annoying! It was great to see Jes, and the Amandas again though! I'm pumped for Jes, Sandra's, and my date night this week! I miss them a lot! Thursday saw me back at the chiropractor for my foot... it really doesn't seem to be getting much better, mom thinks I should go to the doctor *giggles* If only she knew what I thought when she mentioned that... I watch WAY too much telly!!! Anyways, I have come to the conclusion that Dakota did step on me back between Christmas and New Years... It happened in the shed, I can remember it now. I'm wondering if a cast would just make it better or not.... I hate that thought though, I can't afford to take off any work!! Saturday we went to pick out the guys' tux's! That was a huge amount of fun! And I've got to admit that all combined, we're going to be the hottest wedding party in all of history I think!!

Speaking of wedding party though, I'm still saddened by a person I had to leave out. It had nothing to do with the quality of the friendship, it's solid as hell, but the places we are in our lives I just didn't think it would work. Enough with the depressing stuff though, she knows I love her to bits!!

Site of the Post!
One of my online friends has done a lot of work with the ever-fantastic Cliff Simon (plays the System Lord Ba'al in the Stargate SG1 series and movie). They worked on some self-help cds together and she has now started up her own website. As of the time of my posting, it's very small and intimate, and Cliff agreed to come one periodically to answer questions. Seems like a very nice gentleman, who is also very involved in animal welfare projects. The site can be located here at Auroris Entertainent.

Till Next Time,

That Stargate Survey That's Floating Around....

2008-03-24T02:54:39Z

Well, it's been quite a weekend! Just wanted to wish everyone a VERY Happy Easter!!! Here's a Stargate Survey I stole from Switch!

1. Who is your favorite SG-1 character? Brig. Gen. Jack O'Neill

2. Who is your favorite Atlantis character? McKay. His Canadian Snarkiness is teh awsome!

3. What is your favorite SG-1 episode? Abyss

4. Who is your favorite SG-1 villain? The Goa'uld in general, but Ba'al specifically. He's the ultimate baddie!

5. Who is your favorite SGA villain? The Wraith are really getting on my nerves.. and I hate the Replicators... so what does that leave? The Genii? For Wraith's, I loved Steve....

6. P-90 or Zat? Zat. So much cooler, less mess and you can make your crime disappear!

7. You'll be…Jaffa or Tok’ra? Tok'Ra for sure!!! I love those crazy Bastards!

8. Goa’uld mother ship or X-303? I'd like a Mothership.. just to say I had one...

9. Ori or Ancient? Ancient. Though I would be one of the outcast one's....

10. Who is the best O’Neill.. Kurt Russell or Richard Dean Anderson? RDA 100x over!!!! It's the snark.. I love the snark...

11. The best Daniel Jackson…James Spader or Michael Shanks? I hate the character in general... so neither....

12. Asgard or Replicator? Asgard. Mmmmm Thor!!!

13. Who is the best leader of Atlantis, Weir or Carter? Carter!!! I'll miss her terribly!!

14. Who is best leader of the SGC...Hammond, O’Neill, Weir or Landry? Hammond was the best, O'Neill was the most hilarious, but Landry was most practical.

15. Jonas Quinn or Vala Mal Doran? Ooooh, you're going to make me choose? I can't, I love them most. Vala's sassy and smart and Jonas was "innocent" and smart.. I love them equally!

16. Col. Mitchell or Dr. Fraiser? Cam!!! Though they never should have killed off Fraiser!!!

17. Who would you kill first...Apophis, Baal, Cronos, Hathor, Yu or Anubis? Hathor so the men could fight for us too!

18. Keller or Beckett? Beckett. Another Character I miss terribly!!!

19. In a 1 on 1 fight, who would win...Teal’c or Ronon? Hrm.... probably Teal'c.... but Ronan would look hotter doing it!

20. What is your favorite Atlantis episode? Oooh.. I'm not good with the Atlantis titles... but the one where McKay is stuck underwater in the PuddleJumper.... EDIT: Grace Under Pressure!

21. Carter or Mckay? Oooh, another hard comparison.... I like McKay's snarky better-than-you attitude, but I love Cater's smarts, oh and her choice in men (her choice in Martouf and Jack.. NOT Pete.. eww...)

22. Dr. Bill Lee or Radek Zelenka? Zelenka... poor guy always gets the shaft!

23. Stargate the movie (1994) or The Ark Of Truth? The original. The Ark of Truth just didn't do it for me....

24. Major Lorne or Major Davis? Umm... Major Lorne.... though Davis is quite handsome lol!

Horses, Kids & Fabio!

2008-03-17T11:44:21Z

Well, it's been quite a week! Been quite busy with various life duties! To start, Megh and I attended the annual Can-Am Equine Tradeshow. We spent a lovely 12+ hours attending clinics, spending money, and marvelling over all the horses we'd like to own! We attended some really good clinics this year. A great one on Show Jumping (which I did as a kid) though the clinician was a patronizing ass... I've got to say that I do miss jumping and English riding in general. I got away from it because I hated the people and the state of mind... too stuck up and better-than-you type stuff. But now that I'm older and can control what I see/hear/do, I think I'd like to get back into it just for pleasure. Heck, maybe even teach Dakota to go over a few low poles! Though right now he has trouble walking over ground poles :S Anyways, we spent lots of money, I got a beautiful pair of Black Cowboy Boots that I intend on using for some pictures at the wedding! Megh talked me into a beautiful white cowboy hat with gold trim. It should look quite nice in some pictures as well! I got Dakota a black rope halter, I love the look of them, and feel like it will look especially good on my "Indian Pony"! Had a nice chat with a woman from the Icelandic Association. I would really like one someday, but they are terribly expensive... a green-broke 4yo runs around the 10 - 12,000$ mark.. so that's a no-go!

On a Happy note, the new Stargate movie 'The Ark of Truth' came out on DVD last tuesday. I was shopping on my lunchbreak that day anyways so I picked it up. Matt and I watched it this weekend. My review would give it 3.5 out of 5 Stars. It was great to see the Seasons 9 & 10 Team back in action, and there were tons of cool fight scenes including one particularily well choreographed hand-to-hand combat scene between Col. Mitchell and the 'altered' IOA guy, but over all the story seemed to move quite slowly. I'm happy to see the Ori storyline finished with though and can't wait till we get Richard Dean Anderson back as Gen. O'Neill in 'Continuum'!!

Site of the Day
The website we'll be looking at today is the home of The Canadian Cowgirls Drill Team! They are a spectacular group of young women with a common love of horses. Their acts are fast-paced and close to flawless. They travel all across North America captivating crowds. This year they added in a stunt team with some pretty crazy stunts done on galloping horseback!

Ciao!

Accurate... for the most part...

2008-03-09T04:42:34Z

Hrm.. interesting.. though according to Matt and Mike, I'm sure it's a bit higher than that!!!

Some Musings & Icons

2008-03-09T04:28:08Z

Wow, I've kinda gotta say that I feel as though I've fully entered the world of Live Journal.. this is my first post with *gasp* ICONS!! By no means are they generally any good... but I've made them, and I like them, so I guess that's really all that matters :D They span a few different genres: Lost, Stargate, Grey's Anatomy, House, Christina, Torchwood, Harry Potter and Doctor Who, with a few Detroit RedWings thrown in for good measure! It's going to take a few posts to get them all in.. as i don't yet know how to make an LJ cut... so this will also be an added feature in my updates...

Tonight's batch consist of Lost Icons! There are also a few larger animations and even a small banner or two thrown in!

Enjoy!

That's all in the graphics front for tonight.

Site of the Post!

So, the site I'm going to inadvertantly focus on tonight is FanFiction.net. It's a great source of any type of fic you'd ever want! I have to admit that years ago it was much better.. but they did a major cleansing and dumped all of their NC-17 fics.. which is sad.. but I found a great squishy Stargate SG-1 fic there today. It's S/J focused and set around the time of 'Beneath the Surface' and can be found here. It's very romantic.. which is usually not what I go for, but it's also insanely well written!!

Till Next Time!
Ciao

An Evening With Elton John!

2008-03-07T03:06:34Z

Wow, what a week it's been! Monday night I fulfilled my mother's life-long dream of seeing Elton John in concert. I have to say, he FAR exceeded my expectations! Totally amazing! I had a bit of a freak-out when he played "Your Song" as it is one of my all-time favourites! He played for a straight 2 hours and 45 minutes! SOOO amazing.. that's really all I can say about it! I have two photo albums in Facebook here and here!! So I hope you enjoy!! Oh, did I mention that our seats were freaking amazing!!!! Thank you KIJIJI for that!!!

And Speaking of...

Site of the Post!!

The site I'm going to focus on today is the ever-lovely KIJIJI!! It has successfully allowed me to waist a lot of time while looking for a puppy I can't get yet, Red Wing tickets I'd like to have, and concert tickets I got!! You can select numerous different locations across all of Canada and find out what people are selling.

I'm having issues with my foot... it's been really painfully sore since Christmas and on Tuesday I finally asked my Chiropractor to take a look at it... His response was disturbing.. apparently it's as good as broke... It is currently bandaged and I'm not allowed to walk around bare-foot... which is killing me in itself... bloody aging.... I think the bones are the first thing to go.....

Back to regular... If you've not seen the 9th episode of Torchwood in Season Two "Something Borrowed", read no further! When it goes back to bold font, you're safe!

What a great episode... it wasn't my favourite by far, but it was quite entertaining! The scene with Ianto in the dress shoppe was priceless.. and I'd just like to state for the record, that the dress he held up to himself in the mirror is one that I too tried on!! Very comfy! I'm sure he'd love it :P I like the way they are phasing out the Gwen/Jack thing.. It was really getting on my nerves. It's her life he wants... not her... Also, I like that we've seen more into Jack's backstory.. the fact that he did once have that life is very satisfying to me. At least we know that he was truly happy at one time! Now to bring up something that I know many are thinking... why couldn't it have been a case of mpreg??!!

Oh, and for the record.... The Lone Ranger was SO shagging Tonto!!

Anything Goes

2008-02-29T02:22:08Z

I'm not sure how I could have forgotten this yesterday after working so long and hard on it... but I made my first ever fanvid.. I've got to say that I'm actually quite pleased with it. So, the SITE OF THE POST is my tribute to Torchwood and Doctor Who. Slight spoilers up untill 'To The Last Man' in Torchwood and 'Last of the Time Lords' (I think...) for Doctor Who.. though I may have not actually gone that far in the series for clips... Ignore the first part.. it's a little rocky... but I was just getting to know the program.. lol...

Anything Goes

Ciao!!

Work Blahs....

2008-02-28T01:39:48Z

Wow.. what an interesting week it's been at work. The good news is that our numbers have sky-rocketed which mean I am officially full-time again, but it also means that we officially have WAY too many high/special needs kids, and absolutely NO help... I really don't think it should be legal... We're at our wits-end with at least 5 of them (ya that's right, I said five...) and are still patiently awaiting our Enhansement worker but the higher up is being a dink (as usual) about it. Monday was a real killer of a day but tuesday was worse. I barely slept the night before, and then worked from 8:30 - 6:00 and had a three hour staff meeting... ick...

In other news I got a letter from csikat with one word on the note "Enjoy" and the envelope was filled with Torchwood stickers... I love them... I'm just not sure where I'll stick them all yet, though I think my clipboard will get a few.. just to spruce up my days for me!

Site of the Post

Okay, today we're going to look at Mininova! As it's slogan says, it's "The Ultimate BitTorrant Source". It's gotten me thought these 8 long weeks of Canadian channels not having a BBC station to show Torchwood on! I used to use TorrentSpy... but it is sponsored by porn, so I was terribly sick of having the pop-ups and messages saying I can meet hot single girls in my hometown.. umm.. no thanks!

MiniNova!

Also want to give a shout-out thanks to smurf

Lunar Eclipses & A Review....

2008-02-22T02:57:59Z

So last night was the big Lunar Eclipse. In true Bruce County style, the dky cleared long enough for me to get some pictures at the quarter and half, but quickly covered over again with a squall, so I didn't get to see the last part of the eclipse... stupid Bruce County and it's position in the middle of the Snow Belt! Anyways, I've attached some of the photos. They're fuzzy, but heck, the moon is kinda far away....

So, I enjoyed watching what I could of the eclipse... I've always loved that sort of stuff!

Now for the review section. If you don't want to be spoilered for Series 2, Episode 07 of Torchwood, read no further! I quite enjoyed the episode. I thought Owen being Death was a remarkable change of direction.. I must admit that during the episode, I thought he was turning into a Weevil... I mean he already kinda looks like one doesn't he? Sorry, that was rude.. lol... But anyways, once again, the episode was well written and shot beautifully! I liked to see an episode where Gwen wasn't highly featured, I'm quite sick of her. And it's great having Martha around. She's such a sweetheart, I'm going to miss her on Doctor Who!!

Okay, now it's time for......

Site of the Post!!!
Today's website finds us visiting a place I can't not mention. It's the wonderful world of Facebook. I know it's already taken the world by storm, but I'd like to point out that it is an amazing site allowing one to reconnect with frieend and relative all over the world... MySpace, eat your heart out!

Back At It

2008-02-20T00:25:04Z

So, as of last night I was convinced to get back at my LJ.

It's been a busy year filled with wedding planning and job changes. I currently love my new job as a preschool teacher. It's great sharing a classroom with someone I get alone with great (although I miss my Toddlers and Sandra muchly!!)! The wedding plans are coming along great too. We've got a majority of it done, it's mostly just the little annoying stuff that we still have to worry about!

I'm not sure what I'm going to be discussing in here.. I'm not much for the personal-blah stuff that gives away WAY too much info that noone cares to read, so it may turn more into Television show discussions and horse stuff.... Neither of which I mind talking about at all!

Oooh, and a new idea.. I'm going to have a "Site of the Post!"

So here, to start things out is my

Site of the Post
The website I have chosen for today is the highly amusing TORCH-STICKS community here on LJ!! It follows the crazy hi-jinx of those ever lovable Torchwood characters in stick-man form! Warning for major spoilers, language, and adult content! Oh, and don't foget to check back there often!

Quite New To This...

2007-02-23T02:23:01Z

So the LJ bug has finally hit me. I decided that I should start using my account for something more than just stealing icons! I hope to start posting mine here soon, that way other people can steal mine and I won't feel so guilty anymore! Anyways, it's late, I'm sick, and I'm going to bed

Ciao xx
