The Shadows edge

Thoughts and randomness

2009-11-09T15:03:00Z

OK so I was reading the sunday paper this morning... Yeah a day late I know... But of course you know me so this will be zero surprise.

OK so first things first. I made the mistake of reading the News of The World.. Man did I need a shower after that. First thing was the article on Stuart Lubbock. That was disturbing, especially if he was telling the truth and Social Services let a monster like that near kids.

I have to say though, the fact that the victim had the mivnoks to tell the guy to fuck off is heartening.(As a side note I will be training my neice and nephew to use the stairs rather than waiting for an elevator.)

Moving on we have Dermott O'Leary the secondary presenter of The X Factor... Mainly his current obsession with The Twins A.K.A Jedward. Dermott dear... If you really want people to listen to you babbling about those two tone deaf cuties, you might wanna consider wearing nothing but a speedo when you talk, that way you will at least be able to finish the speech. It also wouldn't hurt to get them proper haircuts and maybe a few singing lessons.

Next we have the Peter Andre divorce. Peter dear granted you are the intellegent one in this debacle, and yes during the 90's back when you first released Material Girl I wanted to play with your nipples before eating your sweet little ass and doing severl other delectably adult activities. This is the modern age however... The more you fight that halfwit whore you made the mistake of getting married to, the more you end up looking as dense as she does. As for the cross dressing battle hunk Alex... Bub if you are smart you'll run for the hills.

TV next and my chosen target is... Jeremy Clarkson, one of the most annoying bad haircuts to ever blackmail his way into a presenting job. I have to wonder if he realises that about 80% of the viewers would gladly fire him for being a bigoted, loud mouthed, self righteous, egotistical wanker. It seems to be a popular opinion that the show would be far superior if the producers fired Clarkson... Then let Richard Hammond and the other one present the show without him.

OK next we have Sanctuary, a fantasy show set in an expy of New York... In a rare positive note I have few problems with the show. I even have a fag boy crush on lead female Amanda Tapping when she is in character as the immortal scientist Dr Helen Magnus. My one problem however is the character of Kate Freeloader, I mean Freelander. We are meant to believe that Kate is a spunky, snarky merc with a heart of gold... What we get is a halfwit bitch with no idea of what she's doing. As to the romance arc she's getting... The fans would rather see Robin Dunnes character Will end up with either Dr Magnus, or the hot geek werewolf that the Sanctuary Squad has as a tech guy. Take notes from UK show Merlin producers... The fans love regular teases toward slash. It will happen anyway so you might as well go the Supernaturl path and embrace the slash rather than battle against it.

Anyway I figure that is enough of my muttering... Feel free to tell me to shut the fuck up.

Marry, Shag, Clliff

2009-03-27T22:26:36Z

1. Comment and I will give you 3 people. If you comment, let me know if you want to do the meme and I will give you three people for a fandom I have some idea you are interested in (if I know the characters) (PLEASE TO BE GIVING ME SOME OF YOUR FANDOMS, SO I'M NOT FLAILING ABOUT IN THE DARK HERE)

2. Post this meme with your answers in your own journal.

3. Provide pictures and the names of the three people.

4. Label which you would marry, shag, or cliff.

OK so it was Spidernine who gave me my Torchwood trio... and an easy one it was.

1) Owen Harper... Slap a ball gag in his mouth to keep him quiet then shag him to death.

2) PC Andy... Marry, then have many threesomes.

3 Gwen "Perfection" Cooper... Wrap in chains, tie a metal bar to her throat, then kick her off a cliff, preferably straight into a Rift leading to the Cretacious Era, or failing that the Howler homeworld.

FIVE

2009-02-18T15:10:53Z

Basically I got the Meme from Belsum. So these are my answers to her questions. If you want to/are brave enough to risk me asking you any question that springs to mind...

1. Did you always know you wanted to be involved in theater?
Pretty much, I was a choir boy in my first year of high school. As well as a singer at church

2. What’s the best production (not necessarily *quality*) you’ve been a part of and what made it so much more positive of an experience for you?
I'd have to say either Witches of Eastwick for being my first show. Or Anything Goes, because the older guys in the cast tried to get one of the hot new guys in the cast to shower with me.

3. If you were to write Disney fanfic, what would be your source? Or would you do a crossover?
HSM. I started it with a slight Jump In crossover, sadly I hit writers block. Anyone caring to prompt me and score a second chapter needs only read and comment

4. What’s your earliest Doctor Who memory?
The Loch Ness Monster. It was one of the first of the Dr Who books I read, then I started watching and got hooked.

5. One trip in the TARDIS and it has to be music related: where and when and who and why?
The set of the West Side Story movie... I have a slight thing for a few of the Jets.

The Fandom is slashy

2008-09-20T09:03:20Z

OK so Carrie fed me the link and I decided I had to share. I mean OK so I know we are SUPPOSED TO believe that there is nothing going on between the boys but seriously this is exibet A in the Peoples defence.

2008-06-08T13:59:09Z

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me" or something of an equally pithy nature.
2. I will respond by asking you 5 questions of a very personal nature. Be warned!
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions, or there will be trouble.
4. You will include this and an offer to interview someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them 5 questions.

1) You get one snog with any one character in any fandom. Who, and why?

I think perhaps Niko Zond from Veritas the Quest. If only because of the opening ep from the season.

2) Describe the most awful pair of shoes you've ever owned. Did you buy them for yourself, or were they a gift?

Oh god, so many bog awful ones, including the boots I wore for Horse Riding, and all of them were gifts. I rarely go shoe shopping

3) Battered deep-fried Mars/Snickers bars: sign of the apocalypse or a taste of heaven?

At times heaven, there are a few occasions when chocolate is essential no matter what kind it is

4) Where is the furthest you've ever been from home?

I think Toronto, and no I didn't fuck my way around the town, wanted to though

5) What is one thing you feel you must do before you die?

Be gang banged by three boy bands? On the serious side I think I'd say... fall in love with at least one guy who doesn't turn out to be a complete bastard.

OK so I'm pretty much free writing here, this could get weird. I suppose I should start with a few stars from my FList. I mean there's Adel my Cybermom. She's possibly got an even dirtier mind than I do. Dakota, my twin. She and her babies never fail to cheer me up. And Crawler, my little brother (online) He's sweet, kind, caring, gentle. If I thought differently he'd be an almost perfect date. Except the whole living in America thing but I don't want to go into that right now.

Then we have Mack, my Thunderkitten. And her ever lovable sister Namarie. I don't even know where to begin with them. Well other than trying to find a way to get them to give up on David Duchovny, but that isn't going to happen.

I wonder what you guys would make of that dream I had last night. I was in New York, and I met these really nice people. Well the guy was totally cute, he had spiky dark hair, tanned skin, sparkling brown eyes and a cheeky grin. He was hanging around with this girl in a tight black outfit that had this yellow piping on it. Weird. Anyway so I'm wandering the city hitting on this guy, and we're starting to hit it off. Only thing is I spot that a lot of the place names are of places in Scotland. I mean there was a Garage on a street named after a mall two, perhaps three towns over. I remember kissing him and reaching for his zipper, but I don't remember how far I actualy got. Oh and he had an accent I loved, but I can't think where from.

Anyway I guess things here are improving. I haven't gotten a new man yet, but I'm enjoying the Me Time. As for the family... they're all still alive, let's leave it at that.

And at that my friends I will leave you with a section from Skins. Pay close attention to Maxxie, he's worth it.

A good friend of mine. (Who happens to be a hot military guy.) Posteed these as a bulletin on Myspace. If you ask real nicely I'll see if he'l let me show you a picture of him. Considering it's Ryan and not my ex.

Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her
mother, 'Why is the bride dressed in white?'

'Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest
day of her life.'

The child thought about this for a moment then said, 'So why is the
groom wearing black?'

_________________________________

A little girl, dressed in her Sunday best, was running as fast as she
could, trying not to be late for Bible class.
As she ran she prayed, 'Dear Lord, please don't let me be late! Dear
Lord, please don't let me be late!'

While she was running and praying, she tripped on a curb and fell,
getting her clothes dirty and tearing her dress. She got up, brushed
herself off, and started running again! As she ran she once again
began to pray...

'Dear Lord, please don't let me be late...But please don't shove me
either!'

___________________________________

Three boys are in the school yard bragging about their fathers. The
first boy says, 'My Dad scribbles a few words on a piece of paper, he
calls it a poem, they give him $50.'

The second boy says, 'That's nothing. My Dad scribbles a few words on
piece of paper, he calls it a song, they give him $100.'

The third boy says, 'I got you both beat. My Dad scribbles a few words
on a piece of paper, he calls it a sermon, and it takes eight people
to collect all the money!'

_________________________________

An elderly woman died last month. Having never married, she requested
no male pallbearers. In her handwritten instructions for her memorial
service, she wrote, 'They wouldn't take me out while I was alive, I
don't want them to take me out when I'm dead.'

_______________________________________

A police recruit was asked during the exam, 'What would you do i f You
had to arrest your own mother?'
He answered, 'Call for backup.'

______________________________________

A Sunday School teacher asked her class why Joseph and Mary took Jesus
with them to Jerusalem. A small child replied, 'They couldn't get a
baby-sitter.'

___________________________________

A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her
five and six year olds.

After explaining the commandment to 'Honor thy father and thy mother,'
she asked, 'Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our
brothers and sisters?'
Without missing a beat, one little boy answered, 'Thou shall not
kill.'

____________________________________

At Sunday School they were teaching how God created everything,
including human beings. Little Johnny seemed especially intent when
they told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs.

Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down as though he were
ill, and she said, 'Johnny, what is the matter?'

Little Johnny responded, 'I have pain in my side.
I think I'm going to have a wife.'

_______________________________________

Two boys were walking home from Sunday school after hearing a strong
preaching on the devil. One said to the other, 'What do you think
about all this Satan stuff?'

The other boy replied, 'Well, you know how Santa Claus turned out.
It's probably just your Dad.'

OK so I decided to have a chick-flick moment. But then I needed the cheer. Tiger and I are officially and totally over. Probably just as well. He was geographically unavailable, and you know what I'm like with the emotional shit. Anyway on to the good news. I'm an uncle for the second time.

Her name is Kayla, and for those who really want to knowshe weighed roughly 7lbs when born.

It was so weird holding her. She was so tiny and fragile looking. Reece got to hold her as well. The look on his face was amazing. I even saw my brother look smart for a change, he usually looks like a zomboid.

OK so I promise I'll rewrite the HSM one and post it soon. In the mean time.

A social butterfly, you're incredibly popular and a great host.
You're known for your fairness and affection. And as a frind to all.

Be yourself. Focus on what matters to you. You'll be all the more popular for it.

What Planet Are You From?

Your Aura is Red

You have a high level of emotion. This can mean passion, but it can also mean rage.
Usually, you don't take these emotions out on others. You just use them as motivation - and it works!

Famous reds include: Madonna, Marilyn Monroe, Jennifer Lopez

What Color Is Your Aura?

You Are Somewhat Machiavellian

You're not going to mow over everyone to get ahead...

You just don't get ugly yourself - unless you have to!

How Machiavellian Are You?

Your Vocabulary Score: B+

You have a zealous love for the English language, and many find your vocabulary edifying.
Don't fret that you didn't get every word right, your vocabulary can be easily ameliorated!

How's Your Vocabulary?

You Are Aphrodite!

Letter To Santa

2007-11-07T17:25:32Z

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

Last Tuesday I donated bone marrow to kulvren in a life-saving procedure (300 points). In March I bought porn for sapphire2 (10 points). In April I ruled Duluth, Minnesota as a cruel and heartless dictator (-700 points). In May I ruled Iran as a kind and benevolent dictator (700 points). Last Sunday I signed my organ donor card (28 points).

Overall, I've been nice (338 points). For Christmas I deserve a pony!

Sincerely,
darkpike

OK so in a change to what you were expecting I have a recomendation. It's an artist I think you'll enjoy. He's not your normal performer for the genre.

Q-Boy is an english artist. He actualy is open about a lot of things. And yes girls he is a big enough attitude to make me seem like a good boy.

Here we go

2007-09-30T15:27:19Z

OK so clearly I have gone insane. I'm not even finished the half dozen or so fics I'm working on and I just found a fresh idea. Namely a High School Musical slashfic. Chad/Ryan of course. With plenty of Shar-Pei hate, and the demotion of Troy and Gabriella to B plot status. The problem being that I want to do it as if it were a novelisation of the movie, complete with original songs. Am I insane yet?

In better news Witches of Eastwick opens Tuesday. So this time next week I should have my life back. And yes I am still seeing Tiger, and I'm in a calm mood on that whole score at the moment.

darkpike @ 2007-09-17T18:24:00

2007-09-17T17:41:43Z

OK so fair warning. This is going to be ranty, random and possibly chock full of profanity.

OK so first off the show I'm doing. Now don't get me wrong. The rehersals are going amazingly but the cast, dear blessed muses. Where the FUCK did these idiots learn rehersal behaviour? I mean seriously if the director asks for silence then you do not keep talking about where so-and-so went on holiday last year YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU STUPID BITCHES!!!!!!!!!! Oh and when certain people try giving me orders, yeah I kinda want to slap them. Especially when they rarely show up for rehersals themselves.

Next my delightful family. Or to be specific that fucking clueless muff munching Whorefucker that I call a brother. He has his female and her brats in just now. And they're spending the night. IT'S A SCHOOL NIGHJT YOU CLUELESS SHIT!!!!!! It gets better, as a couple of you will know I managed to get my laptop to co-operate again at the weekend. I can now no longer do so. Someone who should have remained childless. (And you know how much I love my nephew.) Kept yanking the modem cable while I had a window open. Now I can't get back online. And yet it's my fault for daring to use my laptop. Oh but I've not to do most of it on his computer because the constant crashes are of course my fault. And really it must have been me who fucked up the netlink on the laptop. WHAT THE FUCKING HELL! As for his bimbo. Apparently I'm just one of the kids and should take orders. If she wasn't pregnant. (brat number three for her. two for him.) She would be severly unconcious right now.

And here's some theraputic linkage
