Random post is random

I wrote, posted and then privatized a long, rambly entry about my life -- it was more stuff I was working out in my own head than stuff I wanted the whole Internet to know, I decided. Short version, though, is that I might be going back to school this fall to finish my degree, over a decade after I dropped out. *flails*

Random fic rec: Notes on the Fridge (Being Human; slight George/Mitchell or could just be seen as the boys being silly and flirty). I love picture-fic/letter-fic/document fic (whatever you want to call it) and this is adorable -- Mitchell and George communicating via notes stuck on the refrigerator.

zvi_likes_tv has an excellent post on how to get a Dreamwidth account and what your options are: How do *you* get a Dreamwidth? Edit: And there's also a dw-codesharing community for getting an invite code (and hence a free account) if you don't know someone who has a DW journal. I should note in passing that accounts still aren't open yet, except to a small pool of beta testers, not until April 30.

At Metafandom, I ran across a good post on keeping your fannish identity anonymous. (People have probably noticed that I don't struggle particularly hard to keep my identities separate, though I'm starting to think I might oughta be a little more careful. I don't mind fandom people knowing my RL identity; it's the other way around that I'd really rather not.)

Last month, I rec'd John/Rodney friendship at stargateficrec; this month I've signed up for the Hurt/Comfort category (and possibly the Rodney category as well, but I'm not sure if I got my pick in time.) The category was in danger of being eliminated because it hadn't been rec'd in awhile, and we can't have that, can we? The only problem I think I'm going to have is narrowing it down! Do any of you have suggestions for your very most favorite SGA h/c fics? I'm just looking at my saved SGA fics (... almost a thousand of them in the folder) and realizing that over half of them would qualify for this category! So point me to a few of your faves; I'm mostly just looking for a good starting point, and to see if there's anything out there that I don't know about! Any characters/pairings can be involved, in any combination.

Edit: Oh, right, and it's April 1! It's always fun to see what people are doing around the internets. Check out Think Geek's homepage (squeeze bacon! USB pet rocks!). Over at little_details, a community where people post research questions for their stories, everyone is posting their questions today in the form of LOLcat macros, which is totally cracking me up. Edit2: Bwahaha, and Google has supposedly turned their operations over to an AI (run amok). It's obsessed with pandas; check out the image search page. The Gmail Autopilot page is my favorite part so far, though...
