Pillage!

Ah well. We continue!

I made my first raid on www.Travian.com. I felt really guilty about it( Read more... )

Is this my LJ? Why golly gosh, I believe it is! Am I allowed to opine in it? Why, yes! (and yes, that was a piece of passive aggressive shit and not aimed for ANYONE on my flist.)

Who do I want off Strictly? Argh!  They are all so good. Probably Lisa and Brendan...Merlin was a bit of a waste of space.

Dear Firefox.  When you give me an update I do NOT appreciate you wiping all my cookies. Or making the screen so big-arse that I have to use the horizontal scrolling bar to get around. AND WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY 1000'S OF RESEARCH BOOKMARKS????? *suicidal* ETA: Phew. An easy tekkie fix. But not one I should have had to make. That was SCARY.

No love, EVER!!!!


Don't forget the Advent Calendar. There was a short story yesterday, and a complete one today too. Enjoy because it will all be gone after Christmas.

Twitters and double entendres

Can someone explain Twitter to me? I don't get it. Why go to all the hassle of creating an LJ post, putting a link to Twitter only to quote one sentence and a link which only leads to that sentence repeated? Why not just post one sentence on your LJ and have done? Odd, very odd. Wish there was someway I could filter all the Twit posts out.

As to the novel, I'm having a crisis of Double Entendres.  First of all I notice that one of the MCs is called Smallwood, and yanno - that's can't be good. Then the novel name itself is causing me problems. It's the name of a real place on Dartmoor, Hangingstone Hill, but all I can think of now is double entendres.  I'll have to hunt around Dartmoor again and see if I can find something else. GAH!! Why can't I just put ALL place names and character names as [XXXXX] and let someone else fill in the bloody blanks.

Although perhaps I should stop stressing and go with the precedent my previous novels, and have names that explain the character. A big gothic thingy needs big gothic names.

shutting up now.
