I would just like to comment to show off my Merlin icon. Thank you.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

I see your Merlin icon and raise you a Conan icon!

(ALSO OH MY GOD ARGH I CLICKED THAT LINK WITH THE SWORD AND THE WIZARD CANNOT UNSEE OH MY GOD CANNOT UNSEEEEEEEEEEE)

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

IT'S SO GLORIOUS

[mumblemutter.livejournal.com]

I agree with baili162006 when I say: "very funny!! But the merlin and Gaius bit....eww"

(I WATCHED IT WITH MY HAND CLAMPED OVER MY MOUTH)



ETA: WELL OKAY.

(watching The Poisoned Chalice two weeks ago or so)
me: ...
me: okay that was disturbing.
friend: what?
friend: *is oblivious*
me: please, gaius, never say "swallow it, merlin" again.
me: ever.
me: please.
friend: AHAHAHAHA, WHAT
friend: URGH GOD
friend: THANKS
me: >_________________________<


(watching The One With The Dude Who Was In Black Books)
me: also, uh, is this creepy or is it---
me: OH GOD EW.
friend: what?
friend: NO
me: okay just me then.
friend: I WAS NOT SUGGESTING THAT
me: OH COME ON SERIOUSLY.
friend: although i am suggesting really needy merlin/edwin
me: "you and me. we could do beautiful things. but you can't tell anyone. you hear me? you cannot tell anyone about the beautiful things. we can do."
me: ::recoils::
friend: hee!
me: it doesn't help that merlin looks twelve. >_<
friend: um, this is basically how i see everyone's interactions with merlin

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

omg, have you finished watching the whole series? Gaius says some pretty mindblowing things, though the things people say about him are also pretty great. Mostly I am just thinking of that thing Merlin says in Episode 8 (druid boy episode). You'll know which thing I mean.

[mumblemutter.livejournal.com]

Oh I have! With bells on! Those were actually re-watches, only I didn't pay very close attention the first time around and I reckon if I'd go through the season a fourth time now I'd still discover new things, probably. I am very very slow sometimes.

(Which! Which thing!)

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

Once Gaius starts talking about anatomy, there's no stopping him.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

Once Gaius starts concocting roofies, there's no stopping him either.

[mumblemutter.livejournal.com]

I WAS GOING TO SAY "ONLY BECAUSE UTHER ASKED HIM TO" BUT NOW THIS SEEMS EVEN CREEPIER THAN BEFORE.

YOU GUYS.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

dude Uther and Gaius totally got mad issues that they weirdly funnel through their respective protegees.

[zempasuchil.livejournal.com]

I think I answered "stick with sociology" but I should qualify that with: sociologists, too, have to use statistics, like really work with them, so you couldn't really escape them.

also in looking for cool links I realized I have a lot of cool ones - did you know that the entire text of the best Les Miserables translation (well, in this humble non-Francophone's opinion) by Charles Wilbour is online here? As far as I can tell it's whole. And if so, don't print it, because it is at least 1000 pages long.

here is a forum where they discuss alternate history: http://groups.google.com/group/soc.history.what-if/topics?pli=1

and here is a fun time with automatic translator programs: http://tashian.com/multibabel/

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

LE SIGH. You're right. It's why I went into this quant program in the first place, 'cos I knew I couldn't get by on ethnography alone :(. I mean, I could, but maybe not well, so I wanted to be well-rounded. WELL ALL I AM IS CONFUSED. It's not like sociology is without its generalizing theories either.

That second link. Have you read "The Years of Rice and Salt", or something? It's a historical novel AU about what would have happened if the plague killed off more of Europe than it did, and it's about the Middle Eastern and Far Eastern nations taking over. uhhhh i haven't read it, but i really want to.

A wealth of links! Yay! Here is the best thing to have happened to me today. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dN5H29AB3A)

[zempasuchil.livejournal.com]

That's what academia is - generalizing theories, building them up and tearing them down and discovering that all of life is built on generalizing theories (oh structuralism and categories of knowwwwledge). You can't escape generalities and abstractions!

It sounds like a really neat book. I love AUs like nothing else.

fdsdsfkjlsdfk aaaahhh! this is just! gaius! ew! merlin! arthur! lol lancelot! morgana! and willll! aaaahhhhhh I am speechless! I forgot how very gay this show was!

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

i mean, they edited it SO WELL. is i guess one way of putting it. i've never been into these vids and fake trailers before, but then again i have never been in a TV fandom before.

[starsimpulse.livejournal.com]

THIS

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!
WHEN DID RON AND HERMIONE GET SO DAMN HOT, DAMN.
harry/ginny still skeeves me out.
basically i think the main reason i will see this is for the making out and teenage shenanigans. yay!

[puckling.livejournal.com]

You know, despite being a biology major, I never really got into the whole statistics thing. As in, I look blankly at people when they talk about T-tests.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

hjfksljfsd T-TESTS ON MY FANDOM JOURNAL, WHAT ROT IS THIS. REJECT THE NULL HYPOTHESIS. though of course we can't ever ever truly accept the alternate hypothesis. what?! SUBSUMING OUTLIERS IS FOR COWARDS.

[puckling.livejournal.com]

YOU BROUGHT IT UP. ALSO, I AM VERY PROUD OF MY SELF FOR RECOGNIZING WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. Not the slightest fucking clue how to, but I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SAYING.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

Also! So if I do make a post consolidating the commentfic in Bradley/Merlin-verse, I can link to or post yours, right?

[puckling.livejournal.com]

You mean the post I've been poking you about :P. Yes yes of course you can. It will in fact probably get me off my ass to write more. I actually have a little yellow post-it in my head that currently says, "write more comment fic with lassiterfics". *toddles off to do that*

ps, would you mind if I poked you on occasion on gchat/do you have gchat? I love fangirl chats.I'm puckling24 there.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

Sweeeeeeeet.

I wouldn't mind at all if I had gchat, but I don't :(. I have AIM (bewarethefrisbee), but I'm rarely on it. Sometimes when people tell me to go on more often, I do, only to end up disappearing again a week later.

[puckling.livejournal.com]

It is really easy to sign up for gchat! You can go on and be like, I'm checking my email, and then spend hours talking with friends. It is twenty times better than AIM, I swear. I don't think that I've touched AIM since I got it. DOOOOO EEEEEET.

I am writing as we speak

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

1. Meh.
2. EXCITEMENT XDDDDDDDDDD

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

I BELIEVE I DID
i suppose that counts as telling me something awesome!

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

i was referring to my raping you with richard wilson :D

[westingturtle.livejournal.com]

Why does no one wish to sleep with Santiago Cabrera? I mean seriously, it's not like he's hard on the eyes.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

I guess no one just wants to bed him first. The question assumes we want to bed all of them. :D

Cabrera would be third on my list (after Bradley and Katie). WHOOPS I MEAN FOURTH. 'COS FIRST IS OBV RICHARD WILSON.

[westingturtle.livejournal.com]

I am very disturbed by all of you and your affection for this man. I mean, I'm sure he's very nice and all, but anyone more than double my age does not equal sexytimes.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

HOW CAN HIS LIMBER EYEBROWS AND ABUNDANT WRINKLES NOT CAPTURE YOUR HEART AND MOVE THE VERY FOUNDATION OF YOUR SOUL

He's tied with Bradley James! Hooray for radio-button voting manipulation!

[overlady-hikki.livejournal.com]

Colin Richard is first, but Bradley is a close second, and Santiago comes in third. Katie would be next, but she sort of terrifies me.

Also, the weather is kind of humid and too warm.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

I envy your humidity. :( I grew up with stifling humidity, fuck this winter shit.
