Wow lots of shit today

[kowaiyoukai]

I have to remember that Riverside, Iowa is Kirk's hometown. Then I have to research it for the BB Apogee prequel. I'll need to get pictures and facts and events and all of that shit... *epic headdesk*

I also have to spend some time on dictionary.com today. This is sad for me b/c I'd really rather just know everything without having to look shit up. But it's for epic Pinto fic so... yay?

ALSO! Animated mood themes! I can't believe I've forgotten to pimp this here, but I'll do so now. wikked_angel_78 made an AWESOMESAUCE Arthur/Merlin/Bradley/Colin animated mood theme, which you should all download and love upon muchly. Go and do so now. Also, I'm wondering where to find a good animated Star Trek mood theme--TOS or XI, obviously. I'd prefer it to be Kirk/Spock only. Any ideas or recs, flist?

Also, I'd love to go to a Star Trek con now. *le sigh* One day I will have money and a car and the means to do things like this. This will be after I am a multi-millionaire published author, of course. XP

NEW LJ FEATURE!! Notes on people!! I think I will write things like "DO NOT FORGET TO AVOID THIS PERSON LIKE THE PLAGUE" and "IF YOU MEET IRL, HAVE SEX WITH THIS PERSON IMMEDIATELY". XD

Next time I come online, I must steal all the userpics these people have: eumelkeks, affectingly, and ladylothwen. Oh, and eos_rose's too!! *WANTS NAO!!*

And finally, I've got so many fics in-progress it's actually kind of depressing. It's a good thing I've already decided I'll be writing original and fic for the foreseeable future. Choosing would be torture. D:

Oh, and it looks like Twitter's stopped posting to my LJ. LOVELY. FAIL, TWITTER, FAIL. D:

LOL, thanks so much for all that HYSTERICAL info! ♥ I read it aloud to siriuslyyellow & jelost and we all were cracking up. :P

And that's actually incredibly useful and perfect for what I was going to do with Kirk's childhood anyway. It all makes this wondrous kind of sense to me. I love it when everything comes together marvelously by beautiful, fortuitous accident. \o/

I will definitely bother you if anything else comes up. Thanks again for all of your awesomesauce help! *gives cookies*

Fantastic! I'm so glad it was useful. Just throw in a few grain elevators and you're all set.

Looking forward to your next installment!

LMFAO, OMG I honestly do not even know what a grain elevator IS. Clearly I have a lot of learning to do about Iowa. :P

Oh, and I just put 9 up tonight! \o/

Not home Mon and Tues night, I'll catch up with your fic when I can. Looking forward to it!

I'll try to send a pic of a grain elevator; they have one in Riverside, right downtown. It's a big honking silver thing that... sort of looks like a miniature version of the Riverside shipyards in the movie. Except it has corn in it. I took a pic and will post it for you Weds when I'm home. Cheers!

I just added a pic of a grain elevator to my second Riverside entry here:

In case you want to view one in all its magnificence. They're really big!

I looked through your entry and it's great! You look like you're having a blast. *is very jealous* Clearly, I will have to hitchhike to Iowa to get to a Trek convention at some point. XP

I've started working a bit more on the prequel, but so far nothing's come up. I'm prepared to bug you for your expertise if/when a problem arises, though. :)

Thanks! No hurries and no worries. I'll be around when it pops up on the stack. :)
