11:05 pm - Crap! Crappity, crap crap crap. Hmmm...that doesn't sound a neurotic when I say it in my mind. >_< I totally forgot that SG-1 on tonight, so I forgot to set the VCR to tape the Sci-fi run and Sci-fi isn't doing the thing where they replay the episodes at one int emorning all week long either. *sigh* At least I caught most of the episodes when Fox was running them this summer. But still...*sigh* Oh well. Until tonight I've never really listened tot eh lyrics of the song "Danny Boy", but I downloaded Eva Cassidy's version a while ago and... Okay, so I'm babbling here, but that's okay. My point is that I never realized how sort of creepy the lyrics are. At least in my current frame of mind...which would be really, really tired.

10:42 pm - Time for deep dark confession-thing. Sort of... Since I don't have a job I get to babysit for little ones during the week, which means watching kid shows on television. Thankfully I've managed to avoid the evil that is Barney and that of Teletubbies. I do kind of miss the old Sesame Street though - I mean, it's just so different now and it's just weird. ^^;; But yes...about five months ago I had no idea who the Wiggles were, and now I wish I still didn't. I know their names, I know which color belongs to which Wiggle and I know that I want to reach in and remove the part of my brain that knows all of that. Also...the little ones like Yu Gi Oh, and while the story itself is almost interesting - the whole 'past life' thing always intrigues me - the overall plot and voice actors annoy me. Though the show does have some nice character designs in it. But! There's something about seeing Yami Yugi (I think that's what he's called, yes?) with his bondage collar and sleeveless shirt that makes me want to drool, which quite frankly just disturbs the hell out of me. And his main rival...Kaiba? - that new jacket/coat/whatever of his does pretty much the same thing. o.O;; Whenever I see either one of them I feel bad for lusting after them with their bondage-ness, when previously bondage-y things did nothing for me. But these two...*make bad thoughts go away!* *cries* Help. Me. (Edit: I should probably mention that this little confession of mine was inspired by castalie - if only you hadn't kept mentioning Yu Gi Oh I wouldn't have confessed! *hangs head in shame*) Current Mood: hungry Current Music: Thurston Harris - Little Bitty Pretty One

11:52 pm - The Pacific Ocean is freaking *freezing!* Cripes...not even a week after I get the computer back up and running and my familys pulls a 'road trip' on me. >_< But! It was nifty fun and I had a damned good time, so it was worth it. Only now...tired and behind on stuff again, but that's okey dokey. (I suspect the family is trying to make me get one of those 'life' things. Don't know what that's all about and I definitely don't want one. They sound bad) Too tired to do much more than babble at the moment, will try to be coherent tomorrow. Had much fun, ate much junk food, saw many cute men that I wanted to molest but as the family was there...*sigh* But! I got me my honey bears which are just sinfully yummy, and darned fun to eat. And, won a few rounds of DDR against the sister-in-law which totally made my whole week since I have like no rythm and basically suck at DDR. W00t! >_< /lame.

02:27 am I hope no one hates me - or or even mildly dislikes me - for not reading every entry on my friends page from the last week or so. I tried, I really did, but after the third page or so my brain just shut down and said 'No way, man. There's hardly any room in here for more stuff with all this useless junk cluttering the place up. I mean really, who cares how fast a sneeze can travel? And where did you come up with that idea? No one is that flexible...' *cough* At any rate, yeah. It's just that I couldn't quite make it through all the entries you people posted while my computer was in dry dock on top of all the e-mails I went through today. Sorry. >_< So I'm back...*reads previous post* and apparently so are my typos...>_< But hey, that too is okay. Thanks to everyoe that welcomed me back! Now...I have to go to sleep because I need to get up in *checks clock* a little over four hours. Meep. Current Mood: accomplished Current Music: ***13. Eva Cassidy - Danny Boy

06:03 am - Blargh Er...hello there. Many, many things have been keeping me from my fix of Internet goodness this past week or so. First - the computer died. My friend, the computer guru - still has no idea what did it. At first she thought it might have been a virus, but couldn't find any traces of one. So then she thought it might have been something else, although we still don't know what. What we do know is that whatever it was erased all my files - all four gigs+ of Mp3s I've managed to amass in the three+ years I've had this computer, all the fan fiction that I'd saved on the harddrive before saving it to floppies, all my lovely, lovely wallpapers of pretties, and...*cries* But! We fixed teh computer. It works better now, and while it's annyoing to have to re-upload my favorite Mp3's and other goodies, it's almost like having a brand new computer...yay! The other major thing keeping me from being online the past week or so was Real Life. Really, really hate that thing. Anyhow, yes. Had family things to take car of - nothing bad, thank goodness, just stuff that kept me from getting the computer back up to speed in a timely fashion and all that. So I've been making my way through my e-mail - imagine that, only a week and the darned thing is full - and am thinking maybe I should thin out some of the mailing lists I'm on that I don't really bother to read anymore. And work on filtering out more of the junk mail I get. >_< At any rate, yes. If anyone e-mailed me or what have you recently I'll be getting around to you soon enough, mark my words. *insert manaical laughter here* :D Current Mood: thirsty Current Music: *** 15.

01:09 am - Pointless rambling ahead You know...regarding the drabble I wrote for the challenge this week I had a completely different idea in mind at first. All dark and angsty, angsty, but whenever I tried to write it...nothing. Then a little while ago I sit down, put the Beatles on and *poof*: Sam, Janet and Daniel looking at pictures and Daniel running across one that just sort of defies description. :D I also realize that this drabble would sort of fit into last week's challenge as well. Kind of the two birds with one stone, thing, eh? >_< ... Oh, and to anyone I may have talked to or e-mailed or communicated to in any way shape or form on Friday...I was feeling very 'blah' and apathetic all day. If I didn't sound myself or came across as the insensitive clod I know I can be at times, I apologize. I think part of the reason I was feeling so icky on Friday was due to the fact that I've had basically nothing but sugar and caffeine running through my veins the past week and it all caught up to me when I had some time to sit down. (It might also go a long way in explaining why I slept sixteen hours straight...>_<) Current Mood: restless Current Music: Beatles - Yesterday

12:33 am - Blame it on the sugar...I know I do. Erk...so an attempt at humor in drabble form for this week's challenge over at stargate100: Title: A Thousand Words Author: phoenix_burn Summary: Daniel does have survival instincts. >:) Rating: G Pairings: None Spoilers: None Warnings: Attempted humor on my part. >_< "Daniel! You have to see these!" Pausing in his quest for coffee, Daniel turned at the summons. "Look at what, exactly?" Sam and Janet were seated at one of the cafeteria tables going through what looked like - "Pictures from Cassandra's field trip last week." Janet answered, smiling up at him. Oooh...that sounded promising. He'd been hearing...things about that particular expedition. Sitting across from them he sifted through the photos until - "Wow. That's...um. Ah..." "Yes?" Wondering at the way Janet did 'scary' in a way all her own, Daniel smiled weakly. "I don't think a thousand words is enough." Current Mood: crazy Current Music: *** 21.

09:59 pm - Arghhhh... Because I've had 'you must put a disclaimer on things like this' drummed into my thick skull one too many times not to: Please keep in mind that this entry is full of my personal opinions and that this is my livejournal and you chose to read it. I had no intention of starting some kind of debate about religious beliefs in mind when I wrote this. What I was when I wrote this was tired, angry, and disappointed. (Not to mention in serious need of getting my thoughts down somewhere so I could try to organize them into a semblance of order. Somehow, I doubt I accomplished this.) It could be that I've been thinking about my beliefs/thoughts/opinions about religion more than usual since reading x5_536's post about the subject, but finding my mom watching The 700 Club and agreeing wholeheartedly with everything they say kinda wears on that last nerve, you know? Not that I have anything against religion itself - just the nutjobs that use it to hide behind while they go out and make the world a worse place to live for people. Nothing gets me angrier than hearing some moron proving what an idiot/biggot/dumbass he/she is by saying that what someone does or how they live is absolutely, positively wrong because 'it says so in the *insert religious text here*'. I'm usually pretty laid-back, but when I hear bullshit like that...it makes me angry, and more than a little disappointed. I've always thought of religion as something that's supposed to unite people, make them feel less alone, make them feel loved - and people who take religion and use it for their own reasons like that make me sick at heart. I worry for the future of the human race at times like that, I really do. Believe me, I understand that people - not all, but most - need something or someone to believe in to have their lives make sense. It could be a loved one, someone they find inspiring, or hey, maybe God or someone similar. And you know what? That's perfectly normal. Probably even emotionally healthy. As for me? I believe that so long as what you're doing doesn't cause harm to others it's all good. Unless your brain isn't wired the right way - you either instinctively know or you learn what basic human kindness and decency is. You don't go around killing someone because you can, so you don't. You don't go around treating someone like shit because you can, so you don't. And so on and so on. And really, that should be more than enough to get through life, in my opinion at least. But then there are the fanatics. The aforementioned 'nutjobs', as I am fond of calling them. The ones that see anything or anyone different from them as being a crime against *insert deity here*. My mom, as I mentioned earlier, watches The 700 Club...well, religiously. Several times now I've tried to watch it with her, and not once have I made it all the way through the show. I always get this really bad feeling when I hear the hosts telling their viewer audience that 'God wants you to do this', 'Only God can help you,' or 'The Bible says...'. (Coincidentally it's pretty much the same feeling I get every time I see 'George W.' or hear that he 'has an announcement to make' - go figure.) I like to think I have a fairly god 'bullshit detector' and these people trip it every time. Maybe I'm just a cynic and/or skeptic, but the overall message they're pushing really and truly disturbs me. The fact that one of the major people on the show (Pat Robertson) started a 'Twenty-one day prayer offensive' - what I've been fondly calling the 'Prayer-a-thon' only helps to make me want to avoid the show like the plague. And...you know, I really can't think of anything else to say at this point other than what right do they have to judge others? Isn't that *insert deity here*'s job? /opinionated rant. I almost feel better now. I also feel that I probably left out some points or didn't make my personal opinions on certain matters clear enough, but there you go.

12:03 pm - I am such a dork I was going to the store to get something for lunch - we have no food in our house - and I heard a song on the radio that I hadn't heard in years. I mean, it's kind of understandable considering it's a song from the eighties and I usually listen to the local alternative station, but I digress. I never knew what the song was called, but loved it because it's just so...I don't know, bouncy I guess. And just slightly odd. Definitley cute. So I was beyond thrilled when the station Dj announced the song title after it played. After I got home I fired the computer up and searched for the song ("Tarzan Boy" by Baltimora, for those interested) on WinMX and actually found it! So now I'm listening to it and trying desperately not to think of the listerine commerical it was used in. >_< Funny thing is, every time I heard it I was convinced they were singing 'Jungle light...something something something', but apparently they weren't.

01:14 am - Cat-lover joke...XD A friend (the same one that 'supplied' me with PSP 7 sent this joke to me a little while ago.): A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the answer to "Where do pets come from?" Adam and Eve said, "Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us." And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves." And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve. And it was a good animal. And God was pleased.And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail. And Adam said, "Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal." And God said, "No problem. Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection ofmy own name, and you will call him DOG." And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them. And they were comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog was content and wagged his tail. After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well." God said, "No problem! I will create for them a companion who will be with them forever and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of adoration." And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve. And Cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat's eyes, they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings. And Adam and Eve learned humility.And they were greatly improved. And God was pleased. And Dog was happy and wagged his tail. And Cat didn't care one way or the other.

09:23 pm - Hee... So I made myself a new icon-thing using a base that walkawayslowly made. (And okay, it's from the season six episode "Full Circle", but it's not very spoiler-ish. Just a lovely picture of Daniel...looking lovely. And my snark was on today, for some reason.) A friend supplied me with a copy of Paint Shop Pro 7, which is a much more user friendly program for someone like me; i.e. someone that's not an art student, software designer, or certified genius. (At least in my opinion.) I mean, I can actually do things with it and I can make animations using Animation Shop 3. It's a miracle! XD Well...maybe not. But it's fun to pretend. (Oh, and I just need to say that I am completely addicted to this song - I like the original version too...but this one is just so...pretty. More mellow, I guess. It makes me sleepy...¬_¬) (Edit: I forgot to say thank you to x5_536 for my gorgeous J/D icon. The pretties.) Current Mood: accomplished Current Music: The Corrs - Little Wing

07:08 pm I've been tinkering here and there with an idea for a fic regarding the whole Jacob and Daniel thing I wrote about here, but every single time I sit down to work on it it doesn't want to be a serious fic. It's turning out funny, and I don't mean it to be. (Not that this is a bad thing, per se, just...horribly unexpected.) I'm afraid that I'm making the characters out of character and...well, I suck. >_< (And you know what?

08:38 am - This week's drabble... Meh. I was getting ready to shut the computer down and finally go to sleep when the idea for the drabble hit me. o_O Title: Curiosity and the Cat Author: phoenix_burn Summary: A moment in the life... Rating: PG (for swearing) Pairings: None (J/D if you want to look at it that way...) Spoilers: None "Dammit Daniel! You never listen! It's dangerous out there and you never - " Daniel didn't flinch, didn't cringe. He just looked at Jack with an odd sort of calmness in his eyes. This, of course, was not an emotion Jack was feeling at the moment. "You just...you know full well what killed the damn cat. I just don't want it happening to you." With that, Jack stalked out. Daniel smiled sadly, turning back to his desk and the half-finished report. Just like the saying - curiosity may have killed the cat, but it was satisfaction that brought it back.

09:10 am - Random, totally incoherent babbling... To be completely random I would love to see a fic in which Jacob and Daniel are the main focus. I love Daniel, and I love Jacob, but I've never really seen fic in which they have any sort of meaningful interaction. That, and I've always wondered what Jacob's first real impression of Daniel was. (Because really, the man was in no shape to make an assessment of Daniel or the rest of SG-1 when he first meets them - aside form Sam and Jack, obviously.) I realize that since Sam is a 'scientist-type' that Jacob may have accepted Daniel a little more easily than say...Teal'c - considering that nasty little 'friction' between Tok'ra and Jaffa we saw in the season six episode "Allegiance", but still... And to give Selmak credit she/he/it didn't seem to be to be one of the Tok'ra that had a problem with the Tok'ra/Jaffa/Tau'ri alliance in "Allegiance", so I doubt accepting Teal'c was that difficult. I'm just wondering since Jacob struck me as being a military hardass the first time we see him in "Secrets" - although a lot of it may have had something to do with the fact that he knew he was dying and all, but I digress. My point is that I can understand how he might accept Jack and Teal'c as members of his daughter's team since they have the combat training and skills, but Daniel? Don't get me wrong, I love Daniel, but to Jacob (a concerned father) who happens to know just how dangerous the universe SG-1 and the rest of the SG teams go traipsing around in all tra-la-la (thanks to Selmak), it must seem kind of...well, odd that Daniel is a member of SG-1. Then again, maybe Jacob accepted Daniel so - I don't want to say 'easily' exactly, but I can't think of a better word for it at the moment - easily was because Sam and the rest of SG-1 obviously had no problem with it and clearly respect and value his position on the team. Not to mention the fact that Hammond does as well, and Jacob has supposedly known Hammond for years. (Which raises another question...did Sam know Hammond from when she was a kid? Was he like 'Uncle George', or was Jacob and Hammond's relationship one where they kept in contact but never actually saw each other?) So you see, I just really, really want to know why Jacob was never seen voicing any doubts he may have had as to Daniel being a member of SG-1 to anyone, really. *sigh* I guess I need to re-watch "Show and Tell" to see how Jacob relates to Daniel in that episode. I've only seen it the once, and aside from thinking that Daniel had really pretty hair and that it was a bitch that the kid decided to name himself after Jack's dead son, I don't really remember much about it...>_< Maybe later this week I'll post my thoughts on Friday's episode if I have time. Though I can honestly say that I liked it, and that it was far less horrible than I was expecting given the premise of the episode itself. Current Mood: curious Current Music: ***22.

02:58 pm - In the End My drabble for this week's stargate100 challenge: Title: In the End Author: phoenix_burn Summary: Daniel's thoughts. Rating: G Pairings: None Author's Notes: Based (loosely) on Mark Wills' song "Don't Laugh at Me" - I've been in a dark place this week, so this drabble isn't all that cheery. Kind of...depressing, really. >_< He remembered the way people whispered behind his back when he was younger. Too skinny. Too geeky. Too...not enough. He’d hated being helpless to change things, and here he was again. Right in the middle of a testosterone-fueled military machine doing his bit for the future of the world. The one that rejected people like him on sight. The one thing he’d found they all had in common was the way they died. Every single one of them from the top on down - they all died the same. It all balanced out in the end, funny how that worked. Current Mood: blah Current Music: ***19. Dar Williams - Mercy of the Fallen
