Hi folks! *waves*

Time is flying by, isn't it? It's that time of a year again - I'm getting older. In this case, I'm turning 55 on October 9, which used to be an important thing, back under the old regime. Women could retire at the age of 55 back then. So I've decided to ignore all that fantastic headway we've supposedly made towards democracy in the last two decades and enter my virtual retirement, blithley overlooking the fact that I'll have to work another 7 or 8 or only God knows how many years.

So, let's party! Last years virtual birthday party yielded 742 comments on 6 pages, which won't be easy to top, but we're good, aren't we? WE CAN DO IT! So, let's give it a try! In the recent years, it has always been great fun, so let's have fun again!

You're all cordially invited to help yourself to a slice of virtual Dobos Cake recipe - it's my absolute favourite, although I never managed to get it as good as my Garnny used to.

Cheers!

Note: The party will be closed on October 9, at midnight, sharp. Join us and have fun!

Okay, that would be Lancelot, then. *points at icon* Sorry, I don't know how to insert pics into replies.

Good idea starting new threads, though. We've got a great many collapsed ones, but we're still on Page 1.

I know how, but I still find inserting pictures into replies a hit and fail thing :S I only get it to work half the time. LJ is evil like that!

Lemme try to post a Lancelot pic for you...

You know me too well. All the pretty boys in Merlin, and they all happen to fall for Gwen who isn't even pretty - what is it with BBC shows and Mary Sues?

Merlin sure has a lot of pretty boys! They know how to spoil us!

Gah, I keep trying to find a sexy Lovino picture to post, but I can't :( You might get another Feliciano since they're both in the fic I edited tonight! Don't you just love it when you open your fic folder and rediscover stories you didn't even remember writing? I do! *goes back to looking for sexy Lovino, there must be art, damn it, Lovi is plenty sexy!*

*points to icon*

I'm cheating slightly - she isn't the last character I've written about, but the last character I posted a story about and as it was for sfbb I got art for it - thus the icon. :)
(Well, the story was about other characters as well)

I love the show (and Crusade) and it is very fun to write for - so many possibilities and wonderful characters.

It is such a pity, especially with all they did to set her up to become more powerful in an interesting way

Faramir, but I've never quite found a picture that looks exactly right. Anke Eissmann comes closest.

All for the noble goal, eh? *g*

It's interesting how I came to see Faramir the way Orlando Bloom looked in "Kingdom of Heaven". Okay, the dark eyes were a bit off for the character, but if you think about it, Faramir was in his late 30s during the War of the Ring...

It's a dirty job, but someone's got to do it ;-)

I haven't seen "Kingdom of Heaven" (even though Dr Bashir is in it, I think, and I have a little crush on him). I found some pictures of OB online. I sort of see it, but he's a bit prettier than I imagine Faramir. And I just can't believe there's anything smart going on behind his eyes! :-D

I found the movie amazing. Gemma (again) gifted the Director's Cut upon me a couple of years ago, and there's one of the deleted scenes, in which Balian gets to see his father's house for the first time, and the sequence how he's led inside through all those huge doors, opening into beautiful oriental rooms, is simply breath-taking. Will use something like that if I ever get to write the story of Andrahar's fatehr.

Orlando is actually very good in the movie. He's matured a great deal since cardboard!Legolas and I liked the way he played Balian. I don't find then that pretty, never did, so perhaps that's why I can imagine him as Faramir. And the character he plays is actually very smart.

Siddig's character is simply fantastic, too. I think you might actually like the film.

Still, though, he's not David Wenham *grrrrs*

David Wenham was an insult, both in his looks and his so-called acting. Plus, of course, I'd just seen an Aussie soft pr0n featuring him a week before I'd watch him in LOTR, and the only thing I could think whenever he appeared on screen was his naked arse. Which, IMO, looked a lot better than his face....
