Like Shooting Stars

 So I've gone and joined another Land community...

 I forgot to mention this already (considering I'm the head mod of the damn comm, that's not really a good thing), so I'm doing it now before I forget again:



shanks_lims , The Michael Shanks Last Icon Maker Standing community, is now taking participants for Round 2. I highly recommend that you head on over and check it, hopefully sign up even. We are in need of participants and I promise it'll be a fun and FAIR competition *points to icon* Pretty things like that have been know to come out of it! 

So please, head on over and check it out!

Just wanted to let everyone know, in case you didn't know already...


Voting for Challenge 1.01 of shanks_lims  is now open. We have 10 lovely entries to be voted on, so why don't you head on over and give them a gander. Voting is open to all who are so inclined. You do not have to be a member of the comm, or a participant in the round, to vote!


So, if you please could, head on over and vote HERE. (Rules for voting are listed on the post)

It's been a little bit since I really jammed to this song...okay, so it was last week when I went to bed listening to music, but that is neither here nor there!


I figured I'd give a nice little 'So here's things' post...So here's things:


+ Guess the most prominent thing going on right now is we (the fellow roomies and I) are on the hunt for a place to live next year. We went looking around at apartments yesterday and today. Found two possible places off campus (one that's REEEEALLY NICE) and of course have Ragans considered into the equation. We've made a pro/con list of all the places and are going back to the two off-campus ones tomorrow to clear up some questions we have (and when I say off campus, I mean LITERALLY across the street from main campus - they are right off Tennessee street).


+ In big home news, we got a new puppy. Madre was telling me that he just showed up at the house. They took him to the vet to see if he had any identification (tattoo or chip, etc) because he had a collar but was very dirty. He wasn't tied to any particular owner, vet said. He figures someone just dumped him off. He's a 4-5 month pure black lab. So of course Smurf took to him instantly (good hunting dog and all) and named him Tucker (apparently he doesn't get the idea that it's kinda...weird reusing a name you already used for a pet...we've already had Tucker the kitteh). What's wrong is Smurf is playing favorites and completely ignoring Harley now...poor Harley. He always got more luvin' from me and Madre anyways.


+ Challenge 1 of Round 1 at shanks_lims  has kicked off!! Sign ups are open through the end of the first challenge, so you still have time to join! And even if you don't have the icon making skills or aren't quite up for ANOTHER lims, keep an eye on the comm anyways. Guarantee there will be much pretteh coming out of it! *nods*


+ Loving my French class! It's actually pretty easy to understand and I've been doing really well. Been acing all my assignments and I got a 94 on my first exam! *dances* I knew taking French would be a good idea - the fact that it's my favorite class this semester is saying a lot.


+ Trip to see the Canucks is pretty much a no go at this point. I don't have a set person to go with, and the dineros situation is even more dire. I am bummed, of course. But I need to, ya know, SURVIVE the rest of the semester so I can't just flit away money to watch hockey. Also, won't be getting my Kesler jersey in time if I did still go, so it kinda takes half the fun out of it.


+ If you haven't seen yet, all new promo for Absolute Justice HERE. We get full on Shanks in this one with speaking stuff and scruffy and HOE-MG I WANT THIS NOW!! A week and a half is TOO LONG!! (thanks to perpetuality1 for the heads up!)


Okie donkie, I think that covers everything right now. I was gonna mention how my loud twitter had stopped working since they had the system down, but it's finally posted again. So that's all straightened out!


~Pip

So after much work and frustration, and MUCHLY APPRECIATED help from Ash, shanks_lims  is an actuality rather than just an idea. Up and running and fully functioning, it's ready to take all who want to participate in Shanks-y, icon-y, LIMS-y goodness!!




As you can see, Round 1 sign ups are open and waiting, so head on over and join in on the fun!


And, even if you don't want to take part, maybe a little pimpage to get the word out about shanks_lims ?? Anything to help would be greatly appreciated!


~Pip


Oh, as an afternote - Best part of making the comm?? LJ telling me dannysgirlsg1  didn't exist for a moment. *SNIRK*

Found out about this through the Twitterwebz, and figured I'd post a link here since I have anonymous comments disabled (meaning I won't be doing one of those anon meme's...like EVAR):

Go ahead and ask whatever you want...I'll answer anything (whether it's a serious answer or not is all depending on the nature of the question).

The time has come once again, dear flist, for another round of sg1_lims .




If you haven't already signed up and are really feeling the heat from those icon making muses, head on over and join in the fun. It's definitely a hoot, and such lovely icons come out of the process!


~Pip

P.S. - hey, maybe i'll make some liked icons this round! XP

Now it's time to show the love for said hotness!

I've come to update the DVD list before I lose track of anything I haven't added to the list already (at this moment, I feel like I'm forgetting SOMETHING...idk what though...). I've also made an addition to the list because there's a whole bunch of important things I have that aren't on DVDs (or they are, but aren't 'official' DVDs, if you get my drift) that I feel needs to be noted.

I've listed everything here (and of course, this list doesn't take into account Madre's DVD collection downstairs back home), and I have no shame in admitting the movies I own because if I did, I would never have bought them. (And yes, the Power Rangers movies were proud and exciting purchases, thank you very much!)

Edit: I've gone back and added *'s next to all the movies I have the OSTs for, just because I could! XP

( Le DVDs + )

And a little bit of pimpage for the several new icons I got to breathe some freshness into the journal - all the new editions but one are made by mediocrechick...the one not by her is by dvshipper ;D
 

Sign ups for Round 2 over at sg1_lims are now open!

For anyone who didn't sign up for round 1, now's the chance to take part in the awesomeness that is this lims community. The themes are great, the entries awesome, and the feedback is helpful and not as harsh as some other lims comms tend to be!


So go forth and join! XD
