It's Funnier In Enochian

Weekend!  It is so nice to not have crazy amounts of work for once.  Not that I don't, but nothing's due early this week, so I can actually breathe.  And shockingly, it's also kind of nice to not be racing through Supernatural.  That was fun and epic, but not something I want to do all the time.

Field trip!  Had the final trip of this quarter's geology class yesterday/today, and let me tell you, if anyone ever has to take a geology class, I highly recommend one that includes field trips.  Infinitely more interesting than the classroom learning.  We went up to Hurricane Ridge, and a group of us hiked down through the snow a bit and got to a point where it looked like we would just fall off, but it extended, of course, and we got to just sit in the warm (omg the weather was perfect) grass and watch deer and pretend to make observations about the formations on Mt. Olympus.  We found deer vertebrae!  And then hiked back up the ridge, which was....interesting. My legssss.  And then we threw snowballs and I found out that one of the girls in the class, who I previously didn't really know, is as embarassingly much a fan of Sweden as I am, so we geeked out about that for awhile.  And then we all went to Port Angeles and got ice cream, and then went on an epic hike around Lake Crescent, which involved about eight of us clambering up an approximately 45 degree incline to see some cool turbidites, and also climbing halfway into this tunnel-cave that was SO COOL, and the lake!  It's the most brilliant, Disney-blue color, so gorgeous - we all wanted Ariel to jump out of it, or something.  And then we made camp and all that, and eventually it ended up being 7 of us sitting around the fire talking about scary stories and serial killers. Which wasn't cool, because I get really truly freaked out by that stuff.  But then we also talked about puppies and flowers and good books, so it was okay.  No nightmares, anyway, which is the important part.


And now, I need to pimp out one of the most awesome and amazing things ever:

I'm slightly scared to be doing Casfest, because me + what seems to be the majority of SPN fandom = weird match. But it's CAS!  So I'm totally excited.

Icon Thing!

<lj user="lady_songsmith"> picked for me!

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick six 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 create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!



This is my all things Merlinarnia icon, of course, because Morgana & Co. really should just say nay to their horrible, sad destiny and float on over to chill with Susan & Co.  I feel that the expression on her face here encapsulates utter distaste and scorn for the restrictions of Uther's Camelot, whereas obviously a Morgana-in-Narnia would be grinning widely!


I have never ever liked the character of Hamlet before David Tennant.  Probably my admiration of his Hamlet is mainly to do with my preexisting love for Tennant himself, but I really thought he played it well, and he played up the crazy amazingly.  So he is my crazy icon.


Jane!  One of my favorite Disney girls (really, I love most all of them, but Jane is particularly cool) ever.  She's actually sketching here, not reading, but I just love the expression of utter bliss coming from having her nose buried in a book.  Also, her hat!


I found this from an icon comm with lots of similarly pretty pictures made into icon size, and I just love the whole thing - the green of the grass, the color purple (my fave!), and the idea of just sitting outside and blowing bubbles. It is my happy/content/childish icon.


Song, you are the bestest for letting me squeal about this one!!! CASTIEL.  I really don't need to say anything more, but just look at that face!  A bubble of sheer love and joy fills me up just looking at it.  I sepia-ed all of the picture except for his eyes, and it didn't quite pop as much as I would have hoped, but you can still see the beauty of those blue orbs of awesome, and his face! Oh Misha. So much love.  I'm pretty sure this is Cas' "you don't think you deserve to be saved" expression, and is it not wondrous? I think it is. <3


Possibly the best scene thus far in the current season of Dr. Who.  Matt Smith and Karen Gillan being totally adorable against a gorgeous fairytale backdrop.  Amy and the Doctor as siblings FTW!  This was such a great moment for Team Siblings, and I love the icon for when you just need to express a hug in the best way possible.  Because wouldn't you want to have these two give you a big hug and tell you they've got you? Love love love.
