The striking mechanism rebuilds the deed.

And my first thought was that the Dollhouse triggered me. *headdesk*I still haven't deleted it, because I'm still convinced it's a secret message.

In other news, less than three hours of sleep. Today is going to suck.

Title: Dis/Connect
Rating: G/PG
Pairing: McKay/Sheppard
Word Count: 5000+
Summary: When the doors come together again, closed, he leans his forehead against the Ancient alloys and strokes Atlantis, whispers, “If you let him in, I swear I will leave and never come back, okay? Please? Just let me be, just for tonight.”
AN: I started this last year during exams, and it kind of sat around for a long time until I unearthed it and finished it. And thanks to pictureplaces for reading over. Title shamelessly stolen from the title episode of the same name. All mistakes are my own.

Things of note from the last week:

1) From last Friday's MX. I don't think you get these in states outside of Victoria, and definitely not internationally, so it's basically a free tabloid magazine/newspaper that is distributed on public transport. And this is an excerpt from the Write In section.



And that just pissed me off. A lot. Especially because only one person protested in the next edition, and that was only barely a protest.

2) This is a compilations from the 1980's Nescafe Gold Blend ads with Anthony Stewart Head. Young!Tony Head was delicious (is still delicious), and the ads read like a love story. I'm only slightly embarrassed to admit that I got all flaily when watching. It's well worth a watch.

I just found out that my mother has her boyfriend's phone number memorised, but doesn't know my number or even the number of the house we've lived in for, oh, nearly 8 years now. I'm not sure if I'm amused or annoyed.

Torchwood. Oh my god. My heart.

Is anyone going to Armageddon this year? Paul McGillion, Amanda Tapping, Jason Momoa, Seth Green... does it get better? Tell me you're going! You know you want to.

I was terrified of the original Alice in Wonderland as a kid, and now the new Burton movie is going to scare the shit out of me. But, god, it looks so damn creepy-good. And the cast is pretty damn amazing.

"Starring seven-time Burton collaborator Johnny Depp as the Hatter, the film mixes live action and CGI, borrowing storylines and characters from both Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Burton's partner, Helena Bonham Carter, plays the evil Red Queen (pictured), while Anne Hathaway plays the lovely White Queen. Alan ­Rickman (the Caterpillar), Matt Lucas (Tweedledum and Tweedledee), Stephen Fry (the Cheshire Cat), and Christopher Lee (the Jabberwock) also take part."- Here.

ANNE HATHAWAY. And even though it's kind of a surprising choice for a Lewis Carroll character, she looks incredible in the pictures. She looks as ethereally beautiful as Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter look, well. Creepy. In a good way?


More pictures.

And this is just because holy crap, she's crazy hot.

I'm back. My grandmother passed away, but it was really a good thing. She was in absolute agony. There were IVs in her neck. But I don't know, it was a really good trip. After she passed, I got really close to a lot of my family who I never knew well before. And I hadn't realised how awesome a lot of them are.

That... might sound horrible, but Amachi would have been glad.

It, um. It looks a little bit like Pirates of the Caribbean crossed with, maybe, Marie Antoinette. Although, Robert Downey Jr is nothing but ten kinds of awesome (Ironman!) and Rachel McAdams is unbelievably beautiful, so, eyecandy. Jude Law, eh.

So basically, even though it looks vaguely average, I'm still ridiculously excited. Accents! Bromance! Corsets!

Christ. So my week has been crazy busy, and I've still managed to wound myself, despite not doing anything particularly out of the ordinary. *headdesk*

On Tuesday I went out for dinner with Dad, his new girlfriend and a couple of his friends for his birthday. And holy crap, most awkward thing ever. His new girlfriend, Pauline (not the old Pauline, this is a different one) was 20 minutes late and I was hungry, damn it. And she's completely taken over my house. It's insane. I don't recognise it any more. It went from a shithole house to an actual home. But not my home. It's odd. AND she was really subtly denigrating me for not seeing Dad often. So, yes, I'm not too fond of her. I'm going to see Dad's ex next Wednesday. I miss Audrey.

On Wednesday, oh, I did the stupidest thing possible. I woke up (obviously), early, for uni. And I was carrying my breakfast milkshake from the kitchen to the living room. And I was wearing socks, and Mum had just cleaned the hardwood floors. I slipped, landed heavily on my back and legs. My back was so bruised and swollen I couldn't go to uni. It hurt so much. But by the evening it had abated somewhat, so Mum, Laura and I went out and had an amazingly awesome time. It was the most fun I'd had out in a long time. So much better than mainstream places.

Thursday was the Monash Asian/ASEAN Ball. The venue was absolutely amazing. It seated 800 people. It was beautiful. It was a good night, nothing special, but okay. Not really my scene. But Max and I finally co-ordinated our timetables and got the train together this morning, so that was awesome.

And tonight is Sam's party-thing, which promises some good times. And then, holy crap, I'm going to go home and sleep so much.

Just. A huge, huge thanks to rilestar, who knew exactly what to say last night when I made my horribley angst-filled Entry. I'm grateful that you caught it before I deleted it, because you really lifted me. And thank you so much for the v-gift. *squishes*

Oh. Good. God. Christopher Heyerdahl (Todd from SGA, Alistair V2 from SPN) is going to be in the New Moon movie. As Marcus. Christ. Why?
