You are here as well.





I don't believe that a blog should be kept secret. If I wanted my secrets, I wouldn't be posting anything on the internet. The internet is for open...everything. That said, there are times when I will post a friends-locked entry if I want to share something special with only my f-list. This happens perhaps three times a year, so you most likely won't be missing out on anything juicy. ;)

If you know me, I want to know you. Let me know how we met and I will most likely friend you back. Let me know how you found me, and I will most likely friend you back. Stalk me silently; I don't care.



Who am I? I'm Megan, and I live in Houston, TX. I've been active on LJ and several other sites for a few years now. I'm currently a sophomore in college working two jobs and trying to change my life around after a huuuuge bout with OMGteenANGST! that was particularly nasty. I love childish things and I'm not afraid of being myself. Most of all, I love my darling cats and totally awesome family.


Places I exist:

deviantART:  Photography and writing. [en-miettes]
tweet:  Twitter is a "micro-blogging" service. I am addicted to it. [infiercepieces]
Facebook:  Don't use this one as much as I used to, but I still log on several times a week. [Megan Lim]
flickr:  Just got this one. [megsthesmall]
tegaki:  I suck at this. [lesmiettes]
NaNoWriMo: National Novel Writing Month is a one month competition to write a novel of 50 000 words in thirty days. I've participated several years for now without winning. [chibi emmyette]
Screnzy: Script Frenzy is the script-writing sister of NaNo. One hundred pages in thirty days. Last year was my first year participating and I thoroughly enjoyed it. [chibi emmyette]
An Electric Kind of Life: My new project. [meganbaric]
Gaia Online: I'm back on my old account from about a bajillion years ago. XD [faye_lyrical]
Neopets: I'm back on this one as well. The username is a painful reminder of my total lack of awesomeness when I was younger. If I could rename it, I would probably make it something like "superawesomehippomutant." [poem_gal7]

Harry Potter tonight. I need to figure out what I'm going to wear already. XD

Apologies for the lack of updates, folks. Life has caught up and has decided to just grab me and drag me by the heels. The mess and confusion that lies in Life's wake as I scuttle to stay in line with it is quite glittery, much as I'd imagine those Sparkly Vampires to be.

For those of you out of the Facebook loop, on Independence Day I got into a car wreck while driving Mom's car. I owe her a new one (More specifically, another car. She doesn't seem to care if it's used.). Money will be tight for a while but I'll get by. There's a very nice Corolla I saw the other day and I'm leaning towards that.

She finally found a full-time job so I've taken over her work at the college on Tuesday and Thursday mornings. I have to be there by 7:30 so I'm really kind of hating that. Plus, it's freezing in the building and right now I'm wearing a thin summer dress and totally regretting passing up those nice thick jeans in my drawer. I picked up some hot tea downstairs though so that's kind of helping.

Now on to the important stuff.

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince tonight.

I really want a shirt that says, "I'm the Half-Blood Prince" on it. I wish I had more time. I'd print a bunch and sell them at the door of the theatre. I'm sure they'd sell like crazy.

As it is, the Beauteous Beth and I shall be wearing our Snape shirts. Although I am kind of torn because I wanted to buy the new Bellatrix shirt I saw at Hot Topic. But whatever. I'm going to buy a car instead. _{Although I am kind of bummed that I can't keep the car for myself.} I have no idea what Rob will be wearing but I wish we could find some way to make him match us. I feel like Beth and I are Harry Potter super-dorks and he's just some guy that enjoys them. Idk. Maybe my impression is wrong?

It's so weird to think that the books are over. J.K. has added to the apocrypha a bit by writing Tales of Beedle the Bard but it honestly just did not have the same significance the rest of the books did.

And I feel like I'm being pulled in a million directions fandom-wise. Harry Potter was one of the first things that I ever fangirled over hard. I think the next thing after that was Fullmetal Alchemist, and they've recently rebooted that franchise. I've only seen the first episode of the new series, but I loved it and I definitely want to see more. Add into that how heavily I've gotten into Star Trek and comics lately and... Well, I just feel overwhelmed with all of the information there is to take in right now. I feel like I need to take a vacation from life just to stay caught up in everything that is happening everywhere. I never even knew that an advanced preview of Half-Blood Prince was going to happen until just two hours before that was supposed to start. I completely forgot about Blackest Night even though I've been wanting to pick that up. I've barely touched the st_xi_kink even though I'm supposed to be helping to archive that bad boy. OH GAWD AND THEN THERE'S LOLITA AND I STILL NEED TO GET CAUGHT UP ON FMA.

How is it that I let my hobbies become like chores? I'm trying to reorder things in my mental hierarchy. I just tend to get very over-excited about things easily. I just need to cut back. Once school starts I won't be able to stay up until 2 or 3 in the morning squealing over whatever the heck is going on online, despite the fact that the internet is serious business (oh my gawd).

I need to make an appointment to get another tetanus shot. I keep cutting myself open at work. But it's hard because right now my mom gets first dibs on my truck until I buy her a new car, so I'm stuck up a river with no paddle. :[

AND OH GAWD I JUST DROPPED MUFFIN CRUMBS DOWN MY DRESS. D: I fail at life so hard sometimes.

And now I can't remember what else I wanted to say, so I guess I'll update this whenever my head stops spinning.

Love love love love all of you guys so much ♥

Title: In the Privacy of Bowls
Fandom: Star Trek XI
Characters/Pairing: McCoy/Kirk
Rating: PG-13 for language
Notes: For a prompt from st_xi_kink: Bones/Kirk: If anyone ever finds out they'll deny it, but every so often they spend the night locked in their quarters slowdancing to 20th century love songs. Un-beta'd. Song is here on youtube for those of you who want to have some background music. Title from the Cole Porter song "Let's Do It."

e. One crossover universe for them I think would be even neater.
f. Their ship from hell.

Fandom: ST XI

Title: Bones Under My Skin

Notes: My new OTP. There was originally a story behind this, but I didn't like the flow of the songs so I rearranged them. I'd like to think they still tell a story, but it's a bit out of order compared to how it fits in my head. Sorry about all of the Hedwig stuff... That whole musical just seems to fit everything perfectly. Individual songs can be provided on request.

( So are you enjoying yourself? )

Wtf is this? Commenting on something from two years ago? That's just ridiculous! (lol...I misspelled Dolores!)

So I'm trying out plurk. It's similar to twitter just...horizontal. My account there is littlemegs. I'm not sure how I like it, but I guess I'll see how it goes, n'est-ce pas?

Ugh....I'm sooo tired. We ended up driving around in circles because google maps gave me some really confusing directions. Bedtime now I think.

Chilling in the hotel. Here're some pictures of our messy suite:

From k3llyb3an:


BG and Spoiler
Cass and Steph are BFF's 4 LIFE! I love their relationship so much. Batgirl's this crazy-scary martial artist who kicks the pants off of anyone she faces and Spoiler is so spunky and strong-willed. They work together so well: Steph teaches Cass to read; Cass teaches Steph how to fight. They build off of each other's awesomeness.


Sailor Neptune
She's the reason I took up the violin. I was so obsessed with her when I was younger. She was totes my favorite Sailor Scout.


Temporarily Sane
Ah...Harley Quinn. She used to be my favorite Batclan villain. I love that she was so willing to give herself in to love, but still had the guts to leave when she realized that he wasn't going to stop hurting her. She plays the dumb card a lot, but I really feel like she's evolved away from simply being the Joker's girlfriend and has become a villain in her own right.


Feelin' Good
I made a batch of icons from naive_wanderer's art. Feelin' Good is one of my favorite pieces of hers, and I think it sums up our summer shenanigans quite well.


Salute
I am totes a Slytherin at heart. I think this sums up the house very well. They aren't all necessarily evil, but they do have this house-wide superiority complex.


Goat Idiot
Deathly Hallows icon. Sob sob. This was one of the best parts of the whole book. It was so uplifting. I really hope they keep this part in the movie.

I think I may be a bit accident prone. Yesterday at work, I cut my left hand about six times and hit my head on the balloon counter. Today, just now, I cut my ankle walking by my dresser because I failed to notice I had left a drawer open. O_O

I uploaded a bunch of Harry Potter icons. Who's up for the midnight showing?

Thanks to a wonderfully kind person on deviant art, I rediscovered several of my own Harry Potter fanfics. I am astounded at how good they are. Now, don't get me wrong... They won't be winning any awards any time soon, but they are a lot better than I thought they were!

So here for your enjoyment (discomfort?) is one of them:


Title: Character
Fandom: Harry Potter
Characters: Percy Weasley
Warnings: idk....it's fanfic.
Summary: Percy Weasley thinks back on a recent relationship...
Notes: The ending is weak. (Maybe this is a warning?) Also, I haven't edited it. This is exactly as it is on da.

( Looking back on that day, he smiles, even now. But he quickly replaces that smile with his trademark haughty expression. It's simply not in his character to smile... )



I also apparently have 17 watchers. I have no idea how that happened.

I think I need to start writing Harry Potter fanfic again. I mean, the movie is coming out soon. And surely I'm over my whole "Deathly Hallows mourning period." Gawds. I'm such a dork. XD

I originaly found this blog thanks to the magnificent Gala Darling. (And she is so right! It's super fun to read it out loud in my horrendous French accent!) This recent entry particularly caught my eye:

"She looks at me with eyes wide open, says hello back, but not quite sure how to address me and looks for where I fit into the social strata with her bionic eye for these things, doesn’t see the Loubout’ clutch bag that I left in the other room, sees that my jean jacket is not the most official looking of attire, which is, of course, true, it’s from Zara, and then skipped massively low-cut suede entirely too fast as her inspection stopped when she found the blatant indicator: my camera."

From "Girl, who are you?" on Garance Doré.
(Or, you could read it in its native French!)

( It somehow turned into this: )

I swear, one day I'll stop taking up y'alls precious time with my crap-assed self-realization entries. XD
