Turns out it's over a year since I redecorated, so it's obviously time to do so again.  Heh.

A quick drive-by @ 08:44 am

Merely wandered in to change my colour scheme, since it's a cold, wet day and I have time on my hands.  Besides, I've just redecorated my two LJs and I'd always found that brilliant purple a bit too overpowering.  I doubt whether anyone ever drops by to check me out, but in case you do ... this is just the identity I use on Fandom_Wank.  I am a lot of other people in a lot of other places and I try to keep them separate as far as I can.

Everything else, as Anne McCaffrey would say, is subject to change without notice.

Especially the colours!

Over on Fandom_Wank ... @ 09:49 am

Current Location: Watching a guy fix a car.
Current Mood: *sporfle!*
Current Music: The insurance jingle.

... there's a most magnificent brouhaha because somebody 'stole' somebody else's UserName and made somebody cry.  This is all in the Transformers universe and the UserName in question is 'optimusprime'.

As Randal Graves would say, "I'm not even going to point out the irony."

I don't know about wiser.  They're certainly stronger and have louder voices.

Current Mood: okay

but in the interests of semantics I'm compelled to point out that you gentlemen have just indulged in a mixed metaphor. "

Since I've been abusing this quote rather a lot lately, I thought I had better record the correct attribution.  It's Bing Crosby in Robin and the Seven Hoods ... during the "You've Either Got Or You Haven't Got Style" number.

Your Score: Friend-of-Geek


You scored 45 out of 60



Having geeks for friends and coworkers isn't a new thing for you, is it? You've been dragged along to quite a few feats of geek media in your time. You could probably still stand to watch a few more movies and shows, but chances are that you know what your geek friends are talking about at least half the time. If you do think of yourself as a geek, you probably need to expand your library a bit. You may have missed some of the basics.

Come in, sit down, pull up a chair ... @ 10:22 am

Current Mood: cheerful

I want to thank the person who invented the word 'urpletastic'. I can't remember who it was or where I found it, so if it was you all I can say is I love it.

I decided to stop being life_on_mars. It was never my first choice anyway, and after just over a year I'm really tired of it. I'm grateful to my J_F sponsor for setting me up with another account - something a bit less fandom-specific which I hope will last rather longer.

Just so everybody knows, I'm not doing the sock-puppet thing. urpletastic, life_on_mars and ta_mouse are all/have all been me and I am/have been all of them. I'm only changing identities out of sheer boredom, not something even less creditworthy.

See you around!

PS: Hmmm. Time I had some icons ...
