Fill the spaces with wood in places to make it feel like home

So here I am at ASU. It's about a bajillion degrees out and I've already sweated through two outfits. I've lugged my duffel and backpack halfway across campus, then lugged 50 pounds of boxes (at the same time I might add) up to my seventh floor room, then did what I could to spruce up this place. It's actualy quite cute, and what I'm sure a realtor would call "charming" (read: tiny). I'd love to take a shower, but that's kind of an impossibility due to the astonishing lack of a shower curtain (didn't even think about that one). Also, the walls look rather naked. If you love me, you could send me a poster to make them less boring.

So in a rather geeky turn of events, I've accidentally been pulled back into fandom, at least partially. Now, I have no plans whatsoever to start reading/writing fanfic again, but I do rather enjoy watching the comms. I've always been more of a lurker than an active participant, however, I do know that my OTP is definitely Sydney/Vaughn. Easily. By a mile. Their love story can still make me catch my breath and sigh.

That being said, I recently started two new shows, Entourage and Doctor Who (the 2005 version). While I am less than impressed with Entourage (I guess I just don't relate to the lifestyle...) I'm incredibly hooked on Doctor Who. It's pretty much the best sci-fi show I've ever seen (this does not count Alias or Supernatural, those are spy-fi and horror-style-buddy-drama, respectively). It's funny and entertaining, and I highly recommend it. Oh, and British accents. Delightful.
