I may have just won the greatest battle of wits of my life against the Death Star ([link])... and seduced it in the process

I'm presenting it here, because I'm just that proud of it.
and I'm just that much of an incorrigible geek.

PotentSaarlac:
Dear Shower: 20 minutes of attempts to scald me to death will not go unpunished. This house is no longer big enough for the both of us.

PotentSaarlac @death_star:
My dear battle station, I desperately need your assistance. Will you help me dispatch the Galaxy's most cantankerous shower?

death_star @PotentSaarlac:
Dammit woman, I'm a battle-station not a plumber. I could fire my superlaser at it, but you may not like the side effects.

PotentSaarlac @death_star:
Piffle, my good destroyer of worlds. I want it annihilated, not coddled - if I wanted a plumber, I would have asked Boba Fett.

death_star @PotentSaarlac:
I could annihilate it, certainly, but if I were to fire at your planet, hot water would be the least of your worries.

death_star @PotentSaarlac:
Not that you would HAVE any worries, since you'd just be a small cloud of sub-atomic dust, but you know what I mean.

PotentSaarlac @death_star:
Nonsense. My subnuclear particles have feelings, too. If you could arrange to transport me before firing your laser...

PotentSaarlac @death_star:
... I could make it worth your while

death_star @PotentSaarlac:
Worth my while? What would you pay a planet-destroying space station?

PotentSaarlac @death_star:
When was the last time you experienced a neutrino flux that rocked you to your very gluons? I can make that happen, baby...

PotentSaarlac @death_star:
... and then some

death_star @PotentSaarlac:
Setting course for Earth.

PotentSaarlac @death_star:
I knew you'd see things my way, lover. Sweet recharging - dream of the quantum singularities we'll create together.

PotentSaarlac:
Have successfully lured @death_star to Earth by talking dirty to it about quantum physics. My life is now complete.


TREMBLE BEFORE MY MIGHTY NERDINESS!!! TREMBLE, I SAY!!!!

Another landmark, come and gone.

Granted, I know people who have had 60,000 pageviews in their first month on DA, but hey, who am I to complain? I'm holding my breath for 100k. Let's hope it doesn't take another two years.

Lessee... it's been a while since my last real update.

Things aren't so great right now in Megan-land.
I've had a really rough month. Significant life changes are not the sort of thing one makes contingency plans for when one is in college - I couldn't very well have not taken Virology because I was afraid of my life being turned upside down - and between dealing with emotional backlash, serious illness and impending death in the family, my own illness (contemptible hormones!), a period of very significant transitions and re-orienting myself in the world, and all my schoolwork, life is, for lack of a more delicate, euphemistic way to put it, kicking the crap out of me.

I'm finding lots of pennies, seeing lots of chipmunks, receiving a lot of hugs, and coming across a lot of little things that help me get through the day, but I won't lie; I'm a little sick of having to scrounge so hard for reasons to be happy. Oh, well. That's life, I suppose.

I've finally given in and joined Twitter under copious amounts of peer pressure.
Come validate my internet existence by stalking me - there is much tomfoolery, absurdity, random silliness, and more insight into my best friends' and my twisted little minds than anyone could ever want.

In exciting news, I've been cast as Frank-N-Furter in my college's shadow-cast production of the Rocky Horror Picture Show. This is my fourth year trying for the role, and every other time I've missed it by the skin of my teeth; I'm so excited I can hardly stand it.

The cast this year is a dream, and I'm so happy to be a part of it.
Even happier, though, to be the main part of it.

There will be pictures. Oh yes, there will be!
I'll just have to figure out who will be taking them. Why, oh why, are all the people I work with based on the West Coast?

In happier news, DA has decided to give those of us who don't approve of the share-links an opt-out, so I'll be re-posting my gallery.

I really didn't expect this change to be made, and if I'd known it was in the works, I wouldn't have deleted so many deviations. Oh, well.
I'm just glad a compromise was reached. I've missed being able to share my work.
