We met each other in the Shat

So, you know how livejournal's gonna turn into facebook, and ( TPTB think criticzing users are fucking assholes who are just out to make their life harder? )

Yeah, here are some Dreamwidth invite codes (for more invite codes or giving away spare ones go here.

I'm thinking the more failjay users switch to DW (or other sites), the less people can say 'but aaaaaall my friends are here at lj!' Of course, I will use my paid account till it runs out (summer next year) but this really feels like the end of a very long line. :(

Thanks again to master_kogane for the links. ♥

( First off, on a more personal note... )

Now, on to wilder, wetter spheres! I might as well have called this "Star Trek: My Variations Of Cheese."

This is basically what happens when I think about where Kirk would take Spock if they'd still have Halloween (or go undercover on a pirate-controlled planet to secure the continued supply of rum to Starfleet) and no one stops me. Yes, it started with one fugly wallpaper just before Halloween and I just kept coming back to it. BECAUSE IT MAKES ME HAPPYYYYYY.


( I wonder what it would look like in a more turquoise tone, or golden... )

( Here are a couple icons made from the wallpapers resp. textures made from them. )

nairie, frightened_eyes, shivaluna and I talked about how until now Trek fandom was like the house you lived in your whole life. There's dad you sit with at the kitchen table and talk about stuff and life and what you're supposed to do with it. And with your cool aunt you sit for hours at the window in the attic and talk about all the places you want to go to and and what you're willing to do to get there. Of course, there's also your older brother who's rather complicated and a little bit troubled but he always takes you to exciting places and you learn a lot just by being with him. You also like the distant cousin even though he never quite seems to fit in because he just keeps ignoring the rules (secretly, that's why you like him because he's doing it in a pretty cool way). And then there's grandpa who everyone looks up to because he built this house and he's still a shipload of fun for the stories he tells are liquid awesome and the beginning of everything!

Once in a while everyone gets to be bitchy and stupid but generally everybody's having a grand time.

But! Grandpa was recently cloned in a strange but totally scientific way and now all the new kids come to your house and want to spend time with him and say 'grandpa' is a stupid name and clone!grandpa is way cooler than original!grandpa anyway. (Admittedly, unlike original!grandpa he goes bowling instead of playing cards and is fashionable and stuff...) And the new kids lock themselves in the bathroom all the time where they make weird noises, they use totally new ingredients when cooking and the house smells for hours. However, the house hasn't been that exciting in a long time.

Summarily, we should have two bathrooms.

And this is where the story unexpectedly ends without an ending. ;)
