This week is going to be one of those so-much-going-on-shrieking kind of weeks: I'm teaching A-level today for the first time (qualifier: sort of like the jump between high school and first-year degree, depending on how smart the students are) and on friday. I also have an interview at the school I'm currently teaching at for a part time job in September, and man, I really, really want it. When I want something this much I tend to get a bit freaked out about it. *quietly freaks*
So as a distraction I have been:
-finding new icons for my paid time icon space (Wheeeee!)
-finding pictures of male and female models to represent characters so![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
miss_haitch can turn them into icons for me, so I can:
-post some of the prompt-writing I've been doing lately
-Discovering that my keyboard does not have backslash (woe!) so I cannot go o/ properly (a very new addition to the list!)
-playing Knights of the Old Republic (more on that later)
-oh yeah, and doing a meme:
THE RULES:
• Post this meme and your current wallpaper on your Dreamwidth
• Explain in five sentences or less why you chose it
• Don't change your wallpaper before doing this! The point is to see what you had on!
1. "It's Jamie Bamber" tends, to me, to be enough of a reason for that desktop!
2. I like his glare; it wakes me up in the mornings!
3. It's a Law and Order:UK publicity photo, and the sign behind him makes me giggle.
4. One of my andmiss_haitch's characters is a grumpy, kick-ass woobie called Nick, and I cast Jamie Bamber to play him. He looks just like Nick in the picture!
5. THAT GLARE MAKES ME SWOON, phwoar.
(6. I don't live in Austin, Texas. I kind of have a crush on Austin, Texas. So I have its temperature widget thingy on there. *shrug*)

I am so shockingly bad at casting my OCs, it's awful. It would be such a useful tool to be able to build up a glossary of faces to call on for inspiration.
Good luck at the interview! I hope it goes well.

I think my favourite thing to do with L&O:UK is solely Jamie Bamber's popped collars. Man. When I was watching it regularly I had an episode-by-episode tally of his popped collars!
A few years ago I had this idea that I wanted to have an IMDB in my own head. I'm nowhere near that good but I'm still really obsessive in keeping track of who's in what, which helps with casting.
