100% disjointed

How much do I love my new layout, let me count the ways. So! Thanks to the help of the wonderful hearsawho I finally defeated the Layer Thing, yay! It scared me the first time I tried to work with it - and the second time as well, but with her help I finally mastered the thing and lo! I have neat little icons on my sidebar now *loves* I may add another box with other icons in the near future, this is so nifty *g* I love me some fancy layout *loves again*

You know, I don't think I'll ever stop mourning the loss of btefnet. Each time I think of downloading a new episode for whatever series I fancy, I'm reminded of how much it sucks that Mega Pricks Association Anonymous killed it *sniffles* And for instance I'm waaaay behind in Doctor Who watching - though thanks to enigel I'm slowly remedying that - and I'm also behind in my QAF watching and this really sucks beyond the telling of it.

Speaking of being behind. I still haven't started reading the sentinelsecrets stories, though I will by the end of the week. Foi de Mousey. It's just weird though how this time around it seems to be almost silent.

Oh and something I need to do as well is finally catch up with Lost, because, seriously! aswanargent, remember when I told you I'd watch it this weekend? Didn't work out after all. But I had one busy Sunday in particular and I worked last night - came home around 2.15 am. Always makes me smile how a lot of work done in this household is done at night... and sometimes, strippers [male and female, btw] are involved, too! lol But I'm thinking I'll watch it today. I actually dreamt of it last night. Might be a sign or something.

Changing the subject now. Reason #454512 why it's cool living near Paris: there's always something quite original and fun going on - so yesterday, Paris officials turned the Champs-Elysées into a sports playground in a bid to host the 2012 Olympics including tennis courts, beach volleyball, equestrian rings, a pool where kids could sail a catamaran, an athletic track, wrestling mats etc etc... Twas quite a sight! I'm not even sure I want us to host the Game in 2012 but it's still nice seeing the enthusiasm of those people. And seeing les Champs-Elysées all dressed up like this was just awesome. Reminds me of when they turned the avenue in a huge cornfield in 1990.

And lastly, just because sometimes real life is better than fanfiction: Police 'frees' a S&M sex slave from car trunk. That cracked me up.

ETA: Heee! I can't believe I almost forgot! Today is my Second LJ Anniversary - I actually thought it was in July, but no - First Entry on 6 June 2003 it was, back when we still needed invite codes to get an account *g* Happy LJ Anniversary to me *congrats* Wow, two years? This is quite awesome, really *kisses flist for being part of the fun* Also, maybe it would be time for me to talk about personal stuff a little more *scratches head* Or maybe not. But maybe I'll create my first filter, then. Not for reading, just for writing. Will have to think about that *ponders*

fuck, I forgot *my* LJ anniversary! thanks for reminding me *is a doofus* You'll eventually have to explain the layer thing to me though lol

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I know! As soon as I realised it was mine, I thought about yours. When was that, a week earlier?

And no problem, now that I know how it works, I can tell you it's actually quite easy lol

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

on May 31st, yeah... but I don't think I posted right away, I might have to check that...

when you're talking about layers, you mean on icons, right? Funny how I'm perfectly happy with my 'plain M&Ms' ones lol

re: your layout: it's funny how you underlined the shows you were addicted to - considering they're already on your layout background, we really can't miss TS, SG1 and Numb3rs lol

[castalie.livejournal.com]

No, that's not the same layer. I'm talking about the layer source of our layouts *g* The one that enabled me to included HTML coding in that new box of mine on my sidebar *g*

I love them so much, I want them everywhere on my layout lol Also, I could add Lost that way *g* May add Angel and other stuff afterwards. Who knows *g*

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

*that* was my second guess *giggles* it makes more sense - yeah, you'll definitely have to explain it to me - unless she explained it to you on a comment, in which case could you just point me to them?

Angel? *fais la moue* mouais... I think you might have failed with me on that show... lol

[castalie.livejournal.com]

That was on her LJ. I'll just mail you the instructions if you want to play with the layer source, no problem *g* You have to share newly acquired knowledge, right? *g*

Re:Angel, did I even try? I don't really remember lol But that's not exactly the kind of show I'd pimp you, admittedly.

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

yeaaaaah *grins*

I don't think you even tried - you usually succeed when you try - I always disliked that guy in Buffy anyway - it was a wise move *giggles*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I don't think you even tried - you usually succeed when you try

You're a wonder for my ego, honey lol

it was a wise move *giggles*

A pimp has to know their audience, right? lol

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

A pimp has to know their audience, right? lol
that's exactly what I said to some people on my flist when I introduced them to each other and they got along *giggles*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

*high fives*

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

Also, maybe it would be time for me to talk about personal stuff a little more *scratches head* Or maybe not. But maybe I'll create my first filter, then.
but then will it take time off your talking about tv shows? as for filter: wow, I didn't think you were beginning to need them *admirative* my little fic genius! *smootches*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

but then will it take time off your talking about tv shows?

That would be just impossible, honey. Impossible. Unconceivable. Unthinkable.

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

yeah, that's what I thought - for a moment I had the theme of the Twilight Zone running in my head at full speed!

so does it mean you'll be posting more?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

so does it mean you'll be posting more?

Seriously I have no idea whether I'll even do it, I just have this weird relationship with LJ being a fannish place for me not a personal one, but true enough when the Favourite People on the Flist writes personal entries, I quite enjoy reading what they're up to, so I'm thinking I could do it as well... but then, I usually can't, so you know, well, I don't know lol

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

honestly, it would be weird to see you get all personal on LJ. Don't get me wrong, I can never get enough of your posts, but it would be a definite change of pace! Bah, either way: as long as I get my private mails, I'll be happy [/selfish] *smootches* it's not like you're going to create a second LJ with your RL issues... is it?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

That would be weird, wouldn't it? And even if I did, I don't see myself talking about everything, anyway. Some things are only meant for your friends, period. And no, I never even thought of creating one for that - that's not even a possibility *g*

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

Congrats! Your lj's getting more and more beautiful!

And the news about the S&M slave in the car trunk, that was priceless! lol

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Thanks *beams* *pets new LJ*

Priceless, definitely lol I also quite loved how it was a Mistress and her slave, instead of the other way around. Not that I would ever be surprised by that, obviously, but the multitude usually mixes being female with being submissive, so that was quite cool to see the man being the slave *g* Then again, they might switch, but whatever.

[frayen.livejournal.com]

Happy anniversary!!

*throws confetti*

I love your layout, that is one of my fave Jim/Blair pics you have on that there side bar *g*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Thank you *g*

And thanks! I'm more and more proud of it, I'll admit lol Re the J/B pic - that's one a fave of mine too. We have good taste, methinks *g*

[rhiannon-jehane.livejournal.com]

ETA: Heee! I can't believe I almost forgot! Today is my Second LJ Anniversary

Happy Anniversary!

My 2-year anniversary passed last week and I forgot all about it!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Thank you *g*

I would have totally missed it if I hadn't checked my archive. I clean it up now and then and realised what date today was.

Happy belated anniversary to you too, btw *g*

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

Happy LJ Anniversary, honey *smooches you*!

If you ever do create a personal filter for reading, I would love to be included ^_~!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Thank you *beams*

*kisses*

If I ever created any kind of filter, some people on my flist would be included by default, you're definitely one of them. One at the top of the list, even *g*

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

some people on my flist would be included by default, you're definitely one of them. One at the top of the list, even *g*

*smooches* Ditto for me too, sweetness...

[castalie.livejournal.com]

*smooches back*

[enigel]

Eee! Happy anniversary to your LJ :)

Layout = pretty! And now that I see what you meant by help with layers, I probably wouldn't have been too useful :/ I haven't delved into S2 code for a looong while.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Thank you *beams*

And thanks again *pets shiny layout*

And actually no, I was talking about picture-layer the other day *g* Just yesterday I decided I wanted some HTML coding in my sidebar and had to work around the layout-layer *g* So you might still help me with the former lol

[whitevanilla.livejournal.com]

Happy 2 year anniversary!

Mine's coming up in August I believe. I can't believe that I've been addicted to this for that long! And I think that you've been a part of it for most of that time too!

*smooches*

Can't wait to see ya in a few months hun!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Thank you *smooches back*

That's gonna be so weird lol

[whitevanilla.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but it'll be rockin'. :D

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Oh that was definitely implied *g*

[whitevanilla.livejournal.com]

Your icon is so cute!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I couldn't resist the cuteness *nodnod*

[gardendoor.livejournal.com]

Ooo, pretty! My only objection would be that the link text blends in a little too well with the dark background, but that may just be my monitor.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

My monitor must be a little lighter than yours cause the blue of the link is easily visible on the dark blue of the layout...

And thanks *g* I really love it *clings to layout*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I've already told you but your LJ looks fantastic, you've some awesome pictures there. And really once you get the basics down it's not that hard to change things. Which means you can add more pics for each new obsession ;)

Happy LJ anniversary too! *smooches you*

Strippers, I always love how they're associated with your family *g*

And to end that link about the slave is fantastic! I had great fun imagining that!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Oh it's the kind of thing I happen to love hearing again and again, so go ahead lol And you're absolutely right, once you know the basics it's really not hard at all. You just need to be brave and take the first step.

Thank you *g* It seems weird to think of a time where we needed invite codes lol I'm still grateful that you gave me mine, as you can imagine *g*

Re: the stripper, fancy how that works out lol

I knew you'd like the article *eg*
