allfireburns: Emily Prentiss, grinning over her shoulder. (Default)
I spent my morning making a header for a new layout! ...because I've been wanting one for a while now, and finally got bothered enough to MAKE it. I'm especially amused because all the links on the layout I picked out are ZYDRATE BLUE, and I didn't realize that until I set it up.

This is also, incidentally, the first layout I've had in over a year that actually has the REASON for my username in it. That line used to be in all my headers. ^^

And now I'm going to actually... you know... write stuff. If I can get my brain to focus on anything at all. Hey, there are alphabet drabbles that still need doing...

Icon meme!

1. Reply to this post with 'Icons!', and I will pick five 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 - allegedly - create a never-ending cycle of icon glee.

TW: Don't leave Torchwood in charge
I love Torchwood. I really, really do. But on occasion, they have so much fail. This icon may've been related to a fic of some sort (which I have never read), but mostly, I just like the sentiment. It extends to Torchwood Chicago, and is occasionally used in defense of/to mock them (considering I play half of Torchwood... it's necessary). Also useful for when I want to spaz at the huge, gaping plotholes in Torchwood canon...

S60*M: I'll make a friend of you yet
I was so hoping someone would ask about this one. Studio 60 is my show. The show I watched since the beginning and loved dearly and still hold a grudge against NBC for cancelling. It's a show about a weekly SNL-style sketch comedy show, and Matt Albie, the head writer, has a huge red countdown clock in his office that counts down the days, hours, minutes and seconds to the next show. And it's usually something that he'll look up and glare at, like the continued rotation of the earth is that countdown clock's very own personal insult to him, but in the last episode, he walks over and reaches up to touch it. "I'll make a friend of you yet." That just... pretty much covers my relationship with writing on a schedule, with writing at all. I LOVE this icon.

And more! So many more! From Jaqui and Chris. )
