Hmmm...

Say, is anyone else getting a bunch of LJ-comment e-mails dated at various points in June? They're all definitely ones I've never seen before. Huh.

*grumble*

Now I remember why I hate making layout-type things.

*glares at attempt at icon page header* Work, damn you!

Not to mention that this probably won't even be able to be persuaded to look good in GoLive...

Atlantis question

Question for the Atlantis types. What state could Weir have been brought up in and conceivably ended up with the accent that Torri Higginson appears to have settled on for her? I'm guessing along the border with Ontario, which would mean Michigan's Upper Penninsula and a small part of upstate New York (and maybe other states I've forgotten). Or maybe that tiny part of Virginia that still has that half-British, quasi-Canadian accent. Hmm. Any of these sound reasonable? It's not particularly important, but would be a nice touch for a fic.

Where did this come from?

So I'm reorganizing the files and folders on my web server to eliminate the folders within folders within folders mess that's grown up over the past seven or eight years. Because I've written a boatload of fic and don't remember a good bit of it, I'm having to open a bunch of files just to see what they are and where I should put them. First of all: Why the hell did no one take my posting/website access away during middle school and most of high school? Why? OMG, there is SO. MUCH. BADFIC. contained in that fic folder. UGH. Did my thirteen-year-old self really think that this crap needed to be placed online for everyone to see? Really? Auuuugggghhhh. So, so, so bad. I'm glad I wrote them, 'cause I learned what mistakes not to make, but whatever possessed me to put them anywhere else but my hard drive?

I also ran into some original fic from eighth and ninth grades that is so utterly bizarre that it makes me wonder what kind of crack I was on during those years. Seriously, there's one about an alien ship landing on Earth, a vampire meeting the aliens and turning them all into vampires, and then all of them formulating a plan to both kill every remaining human (and drink their blood) and lure passing alien ships to Earth (to drink their blood). (Obviously, this was somewhere near the height of my Forever Knight obsession, and probably was influenced by The X-Files as well.) There's another one about a monster made out of gunk at the bottom of recyling bins coming to life and taking over a school that bears a remarkable resemblance to my high school, then being pushed off the roof by my Mary Sue character. (Guess which XF episode had just aired.)

*facepalm*

Because I know at least a few of you care

Picture from Marina & Gwendal's performance this weekend in Beziers.

Gwendal looks less shaggy than he has for the past couple years--I think he got a haircut. That Frelling Goatee (tm) is still there, but is almost invisible because of the blondness. Marina's hair continues to defy nature, but she still looks adorable in this pic.

Also, who is this, and what on Earth is he doing? It looks like Stannick's work, but I can't really tell...
