( Vacation times for Tanya )

Meme.

List a pairing, any pairing, from any fandom you know that I know. I'll reply with three things I like about it, three things I don't, and my final verdict on it.

I MUST CONFESS, I AM BEGINNING TO GET EXCITED.

I haven't been involved in the fandom at all, just sort of recently pjo_fic_battle . I've seen the main comm, and it is lovely and appears to be wank free, but I guess that's only because they don't allow any of my ships, which, to be honest, aren't very kid-friendly though incest seems to be a given factor for most of the pairings. (Please allow me a moment to pimp this out explain.)

Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a wonderful series, about a boy who finds out he's the son of a Greek God, and, like most demigods, he needs to go to a special summer camp called Camp Half-Blood. Teenage hijinks ensue where Percy (our main demigod) meets daughter of Athena, Annabeth Chase, and a satyr named Grover; they become a nice trio of heroes. There's also Luke, son of Hermes (squee), Nico and Bianca Di Angelo, and your favorite Greek myths, Gods, and Goddesses--and if you don't have one, you will certainly find one in here (GO APOLLO GO).

So, yeah. I've been reading up on the movie's cast, and I'm really impressed with the line-up. This might be because I avoided looking up the movie until now, so I'm feeling pretty good about it. I heard that a lot of other fans weren't as happy, but I see nothing to complain about, with the possible exception of Brandon T. Jackson, who is supposed to play Grover, and I always imagined Grover to be pale with reddish hair. But it's Brandon-T-FUCKING-JACKSON* as Grover, and the world could not be more right because I have this huge crush on this guy. So, I don't know, Grover might accidently be my favorite character just because of him. Shallow Tanya is shallow. :(

*Brandon played Alpa Chino in Tropic Thunder, just so you know my totally obvious biased for him.

Also, for people who are hating on Logan Lerman as Percy Jackson, STOP BEING MEANIES. >:( THIS BOY IS ADORABLE, JUST LIKE PERCY. J-just because he looks a little too old... (and the actress for Annabeth is actually older than me, wow. And Brandon is 25, so okay. Older casts, so whaaaaaat?).

eta: Oh, pimping fail--the books are by Rick Riordan.  There are 5 book in total, plus an extra "demigod file" which has a few short stories that aren't part of the main storyline.


Unrelated, but as equally geeky, I've started reading the Young Avengers' main series. I kind of miss the art of Runaways (among other things) but damn, is Billy fiiiine. (Yes. everyone likes Billy, I guess I'm no exception. :D )

Also, that Temeraire-verse Star Trek crossover that me and pellucere  have been writing?
IT NOW HAS AN INDEX. *fails happily*

Just trying to spread the love here and pull more people into my sudden addiction to Temeraire/Star Trek crossovers, yeesssss. Comment fics, ahoy! (And pellucere is AMAZING, just so you know.)

Her Temeraire/Treasure Planet fic is ♥, btw. *clutches*

And the love and insanity continues HERE. pellucere remains awesome with her Bones+Kirk ficlet.  Ummm, yay! *__*
eta: And she won't stop! \o/

So.  Yeah.  Come join us?

Probably need to compile a more coherent set of links once we've exhausted this.  D:

Recently addicted to playing Rock Band 2 Online (PS3). My gamer tag is BRONCHIOSAURUS. I usually play with the characters, “Dr. De’Ath” or “Asher”. Anyone else would be my sister playing, especially a guy with pink shades and a pink kilt in a cowboy hat named “Master Tangmoutou”… yeah, all hers. (But she is away at Music Camp for the week, hence my sudden spike in internet gaming.)  Oh, and I just played with a marvelous character named “Honest Abe” and he looked just like said dead-former-president. Whoever you are, I give you props for making him because seeing Lincoln beating the shit out of those drums made my day.

More recently, I’ve been playing “Draw My Thing” on omgpop.com withsexypantstas ,sanbiiko ,smileholic , and Andrea. We stayed up until 3 am.  A life? what is that?

  My username is “tanyart”. ....COME JOIN ME. IT’S ONLINE PICTIONARY. WHAT COULD BE MORE SOUL SUCKING? I especially love playing with my laptop touch pad. Everything I draw becomes unrecognizable. So, like, message/comment me so we can start a game.  I'm lonely.

And before you ask...
Yes, I know that I am almost an adult.
Yes, I know the site is geared towards children.
Yes, I am trying to drag people down to my level.
And no, I don't really care.   ಠ_ಠ

PIC-TION-NAR-REE.

OH, and I have two dreamwidth codes if anyone wants them.

I did a ridiculous amount of reading today, finished 7 volumes of Civil War: Young Avengers/Runaways and will make a bigger post when I'm more coherent, but for now....

”Oh!” said Lord Wellington and then, addressing Strange, he said, “You are the magician.” The faintest note of inquiry pervaded his remark.

“Yes,” said Strange.

“Mr Norrel?”

“Ah, no. Mr Norrel is in England. I am Mr Strange.”

Lord Wellington looked blank.

“The other magician,” explained Strange.

“I see,” said Lord Wellington.

The officer called Dalziel stared at Strange with an expression of surprize, as if he thought that once Lord Wellington had told Strange who he was, it was rather ill-bred of him to insist on being someone else.

CUE TANYA’S RIDICULOUSLY GROWING CRUSH ON DEAD HISTORICAL PEOPLE IN FICTIONAL AUs.  As if Lord Wellington didn't have enough fanboys/girls already.

HAPPY(now belated ._.)BIRTHDAY MERETRICULA!

ಢ_ಢ For sanbiiko . Ahahahahhaa... oh god.

( b-b-b-bonus ugly )

… my sister has been watching a lot of anime parodies. Last night I fell asleep to the Lucky Star theme song, and then I had a nightmare about this.

Picture was blatantly traced because when I tried drawing it by eye, it looked more retarded. Gosh, how these people draw eyes and hands, idek.

( Cut for long ramble. )

tldr; I wish me and my dad can have an intellectual discussion on politics without having it end with “because I said so.”

I forget how young and giggly and quirky my doctor is. I love her. She, like, emotes everything she says.

“So, do you smoke? D:”
“Ooh, so it doesn’t hurt there, right? :D”
“I’m going to prescribe you this cream. xD”
“Take these pills twice a day for two weeks. :B”
“I’ll get you a referral! 8D”
“Which insurance do you have? :O”

I don’t know how she does it with her face, but it makes me happy. Her assistants are funny too. A nurse who was Russian weighed me and exclaimed with this marvelously booming voice, “YOU ARE ONE HEALTHY GIRL WITH HEALTHY WEIGHT!” and, idk, guys, but I grinned for the rest of my check up.

Anywaaaaaaaay... More meme!

Comment and I will associate you with:
1) A fandom
2) A character
3) A color
4) A song
5) then I will tell you why I love you ♥

( CDs are handmade. Yeah! )</div>
Oh, I'm late to the party, but this Top 25 music mashup makes me stupidly happy. The mash up that made me ship almost every mainstream artist out there for like.. two seconds. Hey, hey, hey-- Chris Martin and Chris Brown sound and look really good together at 3:22, Y/N? And Katy Perry/Pink? Isaac Slade/Rihanna? ;D Yes, so lame, it hurts.

eta: What the hell, I'll just post the vid, it's amazing.

And does anyone know the MV that appears at 3:24 and the end with the timer counting down?

Dude, this DJ is awesome.
