I know I'm in my own world... it's okay, they know me here

Yay, Jack/Daniel banner goodness for all!

Go here for Jack/Daniel banner goodness
ETA:And now also here!

God, I read so much fanfic. I've read so much SGA stuff that now I start reading a fic and can't remember if I've read it before (which for me never happens, I remember pretty much everything I've ever read and how the plot goes and even specific scenes down to dialogue sometimes depending on how memorable it was.)

Lucy's boyfriend Dan was over last night and met Dad for the first time and was generally nice and not annoying or weird, so he gets an approval rating. I managed not to do my usual overkill rambling thing that I usually do when I meet new people because it makes me anxious. This is a Good Thing because it makes me sound like an idiot.

When are people going away to uni? I head off on the 19th. If anyone wants to get together and do stuff before then, next week is the time. Drop me an email and we'll organise something :) I know I promised a zoo trip but I forgot. Sorry! Maybe next year?

Another new banner! It's McShep (surprised?) and, yes, big .png file. I like it when you leave feedback, things you like and don't like. Yes, this is me asking :)

See it here

Just met Lucy's boyfriend, Dan - he seems at least presentable and capable of speech, though I have been banished upstairs and out of the way :D They're out walking the dog right now. He kinda reminds me, looks wise, of a young Matthew Hoggard, the England cricket player - same sort of hair, though more tawny. His laugh is sort of annoying, though, like a snigger. Won't tell Lucy that.

Yesterday me and Susan went to London to have a professional photoshoot done, with full make-up and sets and everything. It was loads of fun, and some great shots were taken, though the prices are extortionate and they tried to trick us into paying loads of money by suggesting we were paying £49 for three digital copies of images but we would in fact have been paying £99 because they said it as 'using your deposit, you'd only pay £49 today!' but because we are both amazing mathematicians (read: we have brains) we just kept saying, 'yeah, sure, no' until he eventually brought it down to £57 for three pictures plus the contact sheets with thumbnails of all of them which is actually very good for professional shots.

Also, new graphics work! This has been made for ionaonie to go on her lj, so hopefully she'll like it :) I'm emailing it to her separately as well, but I wanted to show off, so here it is in all its glory. It's a Superman Returns banner, high quality png file, long load but coolies, you may have picked up on the drill by now :)

Damn, I want Lucy and her boyfriend to come back now so we can order pizza because I'm hungry!

I got fired for something I didn't do yesterday. My boss (who you recall had been away for a week) claimed I hadn't done the work she asked me to do while she was away (which I definitely had, y'know, I could tell by the way that it took HOURS) and so I lost my steady income.

It's not that I want the job back, because I'd hate it now, but I really don't want to be thought of as a slacker, y'know? So I'm writing a letter to the temping agency to tell them what actually happened. Debbie can think what she likes, the bitch. Woulda been nice if she'd actually asked me what I'd done instead of just jumping to conclusions.

I made a nice header image for my lj, but I don't know how to put it up at the top, so I'm asking around and hopefully someone can help me and it'll be gorgeous. (Wanna see?)
