...QUOTES
Mal: "Inara, I ain't looking for anything from you. I'm just feeling kind of truthsome right now. Life is too damn short for ifs and maybes."
Inara: "I learned something from Nandi. Not just from what happened, but from her. The family she made, the strength of her love for them, that's what kept them together. When you live with that kind of strength, you get tied to it. You can't break away, and you never want to. There's something - there's something I should've done a long while ago. And I'm sorry, for both of us, that it took me this long. I'm leaving."
(Firefly, "Heart Of Gold")
Mal: "Inara, think you can stoop to bein' on my arm?"
Inara: "Will you wash it first?"
(Firefly, "Heart Of Gold")
Doggett: "I was thinking about getting a cat."
Reyes: "There's dog people and there's cat people. You are a dog person, John."
Doggett: "How do you figure?"
Reyes: "You're faithful, you're dependable, you're without guile, you're very comfortable to be around. So why a cat?"
Doggett: "Low maintenance. They don't expect much from you, so you can't disappoint 'em."
Reyes: "I don't see you ever disappointing anyone, John."
(The X Files, "Audrey Pauley")
John: "Would you like us to bring back anything special?"
Elizabeth: "No, thanks."
John: "Groceries, new outfit, flatware?"
Elizabeth: "Hmm. No. Just yourselves in one piece, please."

Gillian: "Do you still have that note that I brought you? I want it for my office."
Cal: (handing over the note) "You really are a pack rat."
Gillian: "You could have just told me what this was for."
Cal: "No. You're a terrible liar."
Gillian: "Normal people think that's a good thing."

Aliens, ninjas and a shiny penny
The results of the poll [here] have told me a lot.
+ Firstly, there are a lot of people out there who would be supportive of my plans of world domination. This both scares me and enlightens me. I have followers! My plans may actually one day come true! *looks around looking all evil-like*
+ Secondly, on my flist, there are two alien abductees, four who are either alien in origin themselves or just plain abducted, memory wiped and returned to Earth with the impression they never were from Earth to start with. There are two whom the aliens do not know. Only two. These two must be ninjas else have some super sekrit cave to hide in. *nod nod* Aaand the rest.. well. Shiny things. *points at a single, shiny penny on the ground and watches the running, squirming, squishing mass* Clean up, aisle.. over there on the ground? Is there anyone leftover to clean up?
So yes. That poll fulfilled it's very scientific purposes quite nicely there.
30 DAYS MEME: Day 03 → Your favorite television program
Firefly! As if there was ever any doubt. I knew from the moment I first saw this show (when I accidentally taped it in place of another show due to the TV schedule being made of fail) that it would make a big impression on my life. I've since watched it over more times than I can count. I know these characters better than I know some people in real life.
And I don't say it often or enough, but Firefly has gotten me through some hard times. "Still flying" holds so much meaning for me. Whenever I'm in a bad place, I think about that scene. It's never failed to help me collect myself and move on.
Mal: We're still flying.
Simon: That's not much.
Mal: It's enough.

Writing Words
It sometimes frustrates me when people ask me for advice on their writing problems, such as lack of inspiration/getting over "writer's block". This is because I don't believe writer's block actually exists. I do believe there are rough patches or times when your muse has seemingly abandoned you and decided it is a good time to sleep for a few days rather than do his/her job, but those hard times can be put behind you if you just pick up a pen or open a word document and write. What you write in these periods of time may not be any good but you can always go back and edit later. Getting words out, even of poor quality, is better than not writing at all and in most cases will help you move past any rough patches that come your way by simply trudging onwards and not giving up.
In addition to "keeping on writing", a few things I do when uninspired is try a location change. Sometimes a new view will give me a boost or help my state of mind, allowing me to move past a rough patch more quickly. Sometimes I'll go for a walk or go out for a day and wander around in the city. Other times, I'll change how I write. I'll handwrite for a few days or type for a few days. I'll change the text size and font and sometimes the colour. I'll type fic up in a comment to LJ rather than using a word document, merely for the different feel to it. Sometimes all you need to find your muse again is a little change of scenery and a new outlook on what you are writing.
There are plenty of ways to get back into the swing of things with writing, but ultimately there is only one true way to do it. Kim Wilkins' words say it best:
"The solution to every writing problem is to write, write, write." - Kim Wilkins.

I be sleepy. It's 11pm. This is not a thing of normal for me at all. I should be awake and alert for hours to come. Any other night I would be. Not tonight which means much goodbyes to teh typing of fic pineapple before I sleep and goodbye to teh convos of awesome (or not awesome) on msn. *waves to them*
As of today I now have a tag for pineapple. I shall have to go through old posts and tag those later on.

+ Just saw the first episode of Drop Dead Diva. Sooo funny! Worth checking out if anyone's been wondering about that one. Sean Maher is awesome in the first ep. ♥
+ Speaking of Sean Maher there was a mention of someone by the same name doing some lecture thing for TV's Greatest Hits at uni, I think! Will have to check the unit outline and make sure I wasn't just imagining things. Would be beyond cool if it was Firefly!Sean. Though I doubt it would be lol. :P

Illyria: I traveled all of them as I pleased. I walked worlds of smoke and half-truths, intangible. Worlds of torment and of unnameable beauty. Opaline towers as high as small moons. Glaciers that rippled with insensate lust. And one world with nothing but shrimp. I tired of that one quickly.

+ Picked up Angel season 5 and Charmed season 4 from the Post Office today - and FINALLY sent Sammi mail. Yay me. I hope I didn't forgot to put a stamp on it or the like. Bit out of it the past few days. :P
+ First four episodes of Angel season 5 watched already. ( Read more... )
+ Catching up with fic and stuff now that I don't feel faint at the sight of letters moving across the screen.

Firefly Flailage
Word of the day: Sanguine
How you say it: SAYNG-gwihn
What it means: Confident, optimistic.
Where it came from: From the Latin word *sanguis* which means blood. It implied strength or vigor.
Zoe: You sanguine about the kinda reception we're apt to receive on an Alliance ship, Captain?
Mal: Absolutely. What's "sanguine" mean?
Zoe: Sanguine. Hopeful. Plus, point of interest, it also means "bloody".
Mal: Well, that pretty much covers all the options, don't it?
(Safe, Firefly)

Am trying to convert people to Castle. So far I have nudged define_serenity in it's direction and have a "I'll watch next episode" from a uni friend. Yay for facebook! Got my best friend to watch an ep last time I was at hers also - and my uncle, aunt and cousin. So that's 6 on my end. How many have you guys converted?
Rick: Oh my god. This is possibly the worst coffee I've ever tasted. It's actually kind of fascinating. It tastes like, uh, hmm. *drinks some* It tastes like a monkey peed in battery acid. Try some?
