 Just a heads up to let you know that this journal is predominantly for my Life on Mars icons and fic and other occasional tidbits.

If you are a LOM fan or a bookworm like me or just have things in common feel free to friend me.  

A list of all my fic is hidden under the cut.


( fic list )
 

Two more exams to go and then I get a life again.

something pissing me off: missed out on seeing Maximo Park because of study,

something that I'm holding on to: my tickets to see Jarvis Cocker in December (exited. much. yes)

Bring on November 22nd!

Seen it.

Loved it.

4 quick icons before bed.

Very-Belated Birthday Presents for dragonlit and acidpenguin46 :

As always you have exclusive rights to these unless you feel like sharing so here they are, hope you like them :)

( 5 icons )

Also I'm still working on the icon requests from ages ago (sorry they've taken so long!!!)

And Sev I'm having trouble with the fic we keep talking about but I'm working on an expansion of that prozzie-Sam drabble so I might be able to offer that as a temporary fix :)

( Funny who you bump into on canal street.... )

Happy Birthday acidpenguin46 hope you have an absolutely brilliant day ;) 

and if there's any animated icons you want just let me know k?

 
Happy Birthday lunadeath02 and dragonlit!!!!


Dragonlit your icon is on the way.... I could only find one picture of Pegg from Star Trek though so if you can link me I'll make you more :)

Luna is there any icon you'd like?

(Oh and for everyone else the other icon prompts are on the way, uni + work is kinda hellish at the moment >.<)

Feeling kind of anti-social right now and I want to play around with photoshop for a bit sooooo....

Anyone have any icon prompts or pictures they want iconified? 

You don't even have to feel obligated to use them just give me an idea to go from ;)

 Just pleasantly surprised to see a very handsome David Tennant pop up in some war-time British film that Dad was watching on ABC.

(Ohh just checked, it's Foyle's war... and it also has that girl in it who was in Moonlight and played that French Courtesan in Doctor Who)

I'm only one page into a seven page report I should be writing on my code but I guess if I only stop when DT comes on that's not going to effect productivity too much :)

Meme taken from gritsinmisery

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick six of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

Saturday 18 April (sometime past 2 a.m.)

hours spent working on programming techniques assignment 5 (woeful), small easter eggs consumed 17 (v.v. bad),  calories ??? (not going to think about it), number of livejournal windows open 3 (pretty good actually), time spent working on "opposite drabble" 20 minutes (Sam and Gene are *made* to be slashed dammit), drabble/s dragged to recycle bin 1 (probably a wise move) 

on the plus side I'm listening to "The Boat That Rocked" soundtrack so I'm feeling pretty mellow :)

I know three is technically the polite preview but I only made five...

Marry: Dan Foster



Gorgeous (X), Intelligent(X), Funny(X), comes with AWESOME Father-in-Law(X) 

Shag: Master



Why?  :  Why not?

Batshit crazy but insanely good-looking with a pretty good (even if a little warped) sense of humour.
True he's not great material for a long-term relationship but for a one night stand (every now and then) he'd do quite nicely.


Cliff: Ninth Doctor



Reason: Couldn't cliff Foster because that would actually kill him so that leaves The Master or The Doctor.
Now although I prefer Nine, I wouldn't exactly kick Ten out of  bed  *g* so Nine regenerating = not so bad.
The Master however is currently gorgeous, no idea what he could regenerate into.
