“While they were shooting, J.J. Abrams invited me to lunch and invited me to come to the set. I was so excited. The surprise he had going was that the young woman playing Uhura didn’t know I was coming. She just gasped.
As J.J. had planned it, she didn’t have to shoot, so we sat for two hours and talked, and it was as though I had known her all her life. I was so honored. I thought I was seeing myself — I knew I was in good hands. She just picked my brain.
When I see her come on, that’s me and I’m living it. A little ways into the movie, I realized she had taken to heart what I said and became more reserved and tighter. I’m so proud of her. She took a role that was established and gave it life.
Now I know who I was before I got on that ship for that first mission. It’s so exciting for me and rewarding. J.J. and she did me honor.”

Thank you! 

I can honestly say I was not expecting this many people to find Turlough and his hatstand so funny!  I mean, I thought it was great, but Turlough was the second one I did, so the joke’s a bit old to me and I’m used to being in a minority of people who really love Turlough.   I’m so happy to see so many people laughing (and SCREAM TAGGING!) about it!  

:D

I feel so good today

the last time i felt this nice was probably at Gallifrey or the waterpark with tinsnip, and the combination of events that made this possible today [finished long term project, good weather, scoring gallifrey registration, period ending] are not likely to come up again any time soon.  It’s nice to feel this way even when stuck in the woods.  I think I had forgotten it was possible.

now i can get back to painting cardassians and/or bloody rainbows

I'm Lady Yate-xel (yay-tuh-zel) - Lady and L.Y.X., and I'm ghoulish. I swear all the fucking time.

I like blood, dolls, glitter, creepy shit, and rainbows. At the same time.
