*steals the meme off the Chart*

The problem with LJ/IJ/DW: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other. So ask me something you want to know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Ask away. Then post this in your journal and find out what people don't know about you.

I reserve the right to answer in an utterly non-serious manner should the fancy take me.

Here's something to cheer you folks up - have a laugh at some of my older fanarts.
Below the cut lurk strange and miscellaneous things ... from HP to LOTR to Doctor Who and comics. I've been sorting through my room (yes, it's a mess) and going through papers. I have a couple of folders of unfinished/unposted drawings. I pulled out a few.

Enjoy!



( Including probably my oldest Harry Potter fanart ever! )

Works like this: Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your IJ and explain what they mean to you.

I can't guarantee I can give decent words.

I shouted words at the lovely Chart, who gave me the following...

( Bristol, sketch, uni, giggle, sex ... this should be interesting/utterly dull )

So, Chart tagged me to do this. I'm probably meant to tag other people ... fmeh, have at it if you want it.

( Meme! )

Obligatory boasting post as I went to London yesterday to go and see the first episode of series two of Merlin in the British Film Institute.
And it was exciting.
And Prince Arthur spent a surprising amount of time with his top off. To the accompaniment of a theatre full of fangirls whooping.
There will be jousting in series two. Jousting!
And then there was a Q & A in which Bradley James was bloody fun and Anthony Head giggled like a faintly hysterical girl (and got called Giles by a questioner).

All in all, good times.
And the London Merlin fancrowd seem actually rather sane and sensible.

So, having fought my way through all the sodding U2 fans...
(I hate gigs in the Millennium Stadium, especially when they re-route the buses up my road)

Anyway, my High School Musical/Little Shop of Horrors comics crossover extravaganza is done, my snapelyholidays and Snupin Santa sign-ups are in ... and then someone starts campaigning another ship.

For the lovely snapelike...

( you wouldn't be expecting any nautical shenanigans, would you? )

Oh my, she replied!

That's not quite what I meant! Your normal English is practically perfect! I mean your posh english such as old bean and things like that y'know? Oh if you watch jeeves and wooster then you can be absolutely spot on! Best show ever.

Aside from the 'practically perfect' (in every way)...

I think Penni would be a little offended that a sixteen-year-old (British) girl is impugning her expertise on, um, 'posh English'.
I think I'm about to reply with and if you read P. G. Wodehouse you can be even better there's more to public schoolboy-speak than Wodehouse. And my beta is the bloody expert.

I'm starting to feel patronised. By a sixteen year-old. Now I feel old...

I just had a review, from a 16 yr-old, for my High-School-Musical-British-boys-school extravaganza which included this line...

You're not quite up to scratch with the old english but you're doing darn well if i say so.

I'm not sure that I shouldn't be slightly offended.
(I may also have replied with a thanks-but-I-should-be-doing-rather-well-with-the-English-being-as-I-bloody-well-am-English)

I am a little bemused as to why there is a fire engine crane thing going up outside my window.

I'd rather expect if the flats were on fire I'd know about.
I hope.

Thank god I've got clothes on.

ETA: Caught the fireman (unhunky) going down the stairs. People directly upstairs locked themselves out and left the cooker on. They had to get a fireman (more hunky but not that great) in through a window.
DRAMA!

You've all heard of Banksy?
Anonymous Bristolian graffiti artist with a wicked sense of humour.

I went off to Bristol Museum this weekend to see his exhibition.
*snort*
Well, some kids got an education.
Goodness knows how, but the combination of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, *ahem* improved art and willies made me think of just one person.
Chart, my sneezing/snorting darling, this one's for you. Feel better soon, darling!

And now I'm going to picspam you all into madness. (dial-up users beware!)

I got five vicious challenging questions from the lovely red_day_dawning

( Boom chick a boom chick a boom chick chick! )

Nicked from bloody everyone.

Hee! My turn to post my deathday_party fic!

Title: The Supernaturalists, or Why Harry and Brains Have Never Been Close
Rating: G
Summary: We had been watching telly and the idea of zombie!Jesus came up. Then - being as I had to write for the con - fic happened.
A/n: Love and snogs to Oz. She added the funny jokes.

( Chapter Eleven: The Serpent's Head )

So I went to a Harry Potter mini-con ... and came back with 5000+ words of High School Musical fic.
Not just any HSM fic though: British boys' boarding-school AU fic.
Because what the world really needs is the boys of HSM in early 20th century-style schoolboy tales.

Title: The Boys of St. Cat’s
Rating: R (with illustrations perfectly G)
Word Count: 5218
Pairing: Chad/Ryan
Disclaimer: High School Musical belongs to Disney, not me. I’m just giving them some jolly good fun before I put them back.
Summary: It’s a new school year at St. Catherine’s and the boys are on fine form. There are games to win and plays to perform – but what happens when the line between the two blurs? Chad Danforth is about to find out!
A/n: The Boys’ Boarding School AU fic. More goshes, gollys and goodnesses than you can shake a hockeystick at.
Much love to the absolutely topping Sab, who knows far more bizarre school-story exclamations than I and helped me immensely (especially when it comes to sports, at which I am an absolute dullard).
And to Oz, who knows why. It’s probably her fault I was reading The School At The Chalet on the coach in the first place.


( The Boys of St. Cat's )

Morning all. I'm back!

I had a fabulous week with some utterly fabulous people. I'm working on catching up with my flist (no internet for a week!). And yes, I'd do it all again. (In fact, the lack of internet led to 5000 words of High School Musical fic, but more on that later. I'm still a bit shell-shocked by it, tbh)

Anyway, we played some marvellous games of Consequences. For those unfamiliar with the game: each person has a piece of paper. They write the name of a character/person at the top and fold it over so the name is hidden. Then the papers are passed on to the next person. They then write another person's name, fold over and pass on. The game continues thus (in the version we played - HPsoccers, we have a new recipe):

[First person] met
[Second person] at
[Time/Place]
[First person said]
[Second person said]
[First person gave second person]
[Second person gave first person]
[The next day...]
[The consequence was...]

Then the papers are unrolled and read out, hopefully to much hilarity.

Got it? Good. Here are some of our better efforts.
