Shanks To Meet You - An  Interview Experience with Michael Shanks

Go ahead and check it out if you are so inclined...

 Please, if you are fandom inclined, and have a least some appreciation for Michael Shanks, take the time to read this. :)

Alrighty, y’all…I have a new project endeavor for everyone to take part in…

Back in June, I came up with the idea to make a birthday video for the wonderful, amazing, always awesome Lexa Doig. It was a project that had to be done ‘secretly’ because Lexa follows me on Twitter and I wanted it to be a surprise (true, she wasn’t tweeting at the time, but knowing my luck I would’ve blabbed about it right out for all to see and she would’ve come on). This all came together a mere week before her birthday…and it went off rather brilliantly. I got enough people interested in the project to make a damn decent video. And it was confirmed at this past Dragon*Con by Lexa herself that the video was received and that she had loved it (it even made her teary-eyed).

Well it has been my intention, since I was working on the Lexa video, to make an equally awesome birthday video for Michael as well. I talked about it with ‘Fearless Leader’ (Lexa, for those not in the know) at D*C, and she loved the idea. So here’s things…

I want to make a Happy Birthday video for Michael. I want it to be epic. I want as many people as possible to participate. That is why I am announcing it now, THREE MONTHS before his birthday (which is December 15th, for anyone who didn’t know). The need for ‘secrecy’ is expressed, but not as much as a necessity because we all KNOW he doesn’t tweet or really use social networking sites at all.

Anywho, I am just looking for those interested in participating in this happy birthday endeavor at this point. I want (and need) to start gathering a list of all those interested or dead set on being involved.

If you wish to receive a detailed email about this project - the timeline, the rules (yes, there are rules…it can’t be helped), the down and dirty (possibly naughty? ;) ) of all of it - please send me a message (can be comment or PM) with your email address so I can send you the information.

I got a decent amount of participants for the Lexa Birthday Video within less than a week’s time. I’m hoping to get more for this project (it’ll be more work for me in the long run, but WELL WORTH IT).

Hope to hear from you guys soon!

Please, repost at will…I need the message to get around, and I can’t do THAT without y’alls help. But make sure all people interested in participating are directed back MY way so I can receive their information discreetly (I know how some people are about sharing their emails publicly).

Sincerely,

Your Faithful Shanksopedia, Pip

*bounces* CAN IT BE FEBRUARY 5TH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW??!?!?!? PEAS AND CARROTS?!?

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!

You'll understand when you see this:




I know its a hawk on his chest, but you CANNOT tell me you didn't think Thundercats when you saw that chestplate (or maybe I'm just that big of a dork!). And DAMN, is it February yet?!?!? (how ironic - was saying the same thing LAST year b/c his Burn Notice eps were gonna be premiering...and now that feels like forever ago!).
