No Takebacks

A song with lyrics that have flight imagery. Not my type of music, but it works.

“when you know how much that means / You have found that special thing/You're flying without wings / So impossible as they may seem / You've got to fight for every dream / 'Cuz who's to know which one you let go / Would have made you complete”

A BSG joke about Starbucks Coffee. I’m not sure anyone even got what I was doing here, but I found it funny anyhow. *sigh* (From The Officers’ Club) http://kag523.livejournal.com/13369.html

“Now that I’ve got these children fed...” Carolanne said, while Zak scowled at her description, “what can I get for you.” Not sure how to say no, without seeming rude, but terrified that overloading a hungover stomach was going to be a bigger issue, Kara fumbled, “uhm...” Lee, behind his mom, raised a glass coffee pot. “Coffee, Starbuck?”

A picture of an ordinary thing that is not necessarily Pilots in nature, but could be related… This would be me dressed up for a fundraising masquerade. You had to come as your fave TV or movie character. My choice was not a surprise.

That is an awesome costume! Bravo!!

Thanks! SOOOOO much fun! (Our table included the characters from Monty Python's quest for the holy grain, Bruce Wayne transforming into Batman and Donald Trump).

Hello there! This is fun ~ I don't have time to do the whole thing right now, but I thought I'd share some of the items I could find quickly:

1) A pilots song with lyrics about flight: This one has a lot of rain and water lyrics, but it combines them with flight, so I think it works. I associate it with Lee after the finale:

"When I Look To The Sky" by Train

[Verse 1]
When it rains it pours and opens doors
And floods the floors we thought would always keep us safe and dry
And in the midst of sailing ships we sink our lips into the ones we love
That have to say goodbye

[Chorus:]
And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that won't seem to let me go

‘Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here

[Verse 2]
And every word I didn't say, caught up in some busy day
And every dance on the kitchen floor we didn't have before
And every sunset that we'll miss, I'll wrap them all up in a kiss
And pick you up in all of this when I sail away

[Chorus:]
And as I float along this ocean
I can feel you like a notion that I hope will never leave

[Verse 3]
Whether I am up or down or in or out or just plane overhead
Instead it just feels like it’s impossible to fly
But with you I can spread my wings
to see me over everything that life may send me
When I’m hoping it won't pass me by

And when I feel like there is no one that will ever know me
there you are to show me…

‘Cause when I look to the sky something tells me you're here with me
And you make everything alright
And when I feel like I'm lost something tells me you're here with me
And I can always find my way when you are here

3) A picture of a pigeon: Darn it! I have a cute one in my pictures file on my computer, but I don't know how to insert it into this post ~ copy and paste doesn't work, I guess. Could anyone possibly drop me a note to give me a quick LiveJournal lesson on how to post a picture? Sorry to bother you all with my technological incompetence...

7) A pre-mini pilots fic:

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3638340/1/Wet_Hot_Caprican_Summer

I love this story by Lint, it has such great characterization; Lee is so good at being sneakily diplomatic, and Kara is so full of attitude and insecurity. It's awesome.

8) A picture of pilots-related real life thing: I'm rubbish at posting pictures, but here's a link:

This is a picture of Aurora in the form of the aurora borealis ~ this particular photo looks like a pair of giant wings in space, which makes it especially appropriate for Kara :)

I'm so sorry to bother you, but could I ask one additional question? I can see how to upload pictures from my files when I write an LJ entry on my profile page, because there I have a full toolbar that appears when I'm writing my comment. But it looks like if I try to post such a comment to this community, it would come up at the top of the journal like one of the main moderator posts rather than as a reply to the ongoing conversation threads. And alternatively, when I click to leave a comment in one of the threads, like this one, I don't see any toolbar appear when I'm writing, so I'm not sure how to upload things into this post.

I'm sorry if I'm being dense ~ I really am pathetic at figuring this stuff out. Please don't feel like you have to reply, but if you know where I'm making my mistake, maybe you could let me know. Thanks again, and best wishes!

From:

I'd love the answer too! (Same issue... but I've only been here about two weeks, so I'm assuming you will all forgive my ginormous posts.)

Once you get a place for the pic to live online (or have the web address for one already there), you'll need to use a line of HTML to imbed it in a comment field. To keep the line from acting like there was an actual picture, I've removed the starting "<" and ending ">". Replace the Xs with your file address.

Thanks! *hugs*

From:

Thank you so much! Let's see if this works, now.

* A little pigeon kiss, for when Lee joins Kara on a higher plane...or whatever:

* And Kara's wings, in the form of Aurora borealis:

From:

I so love your "Leemo" picture! It's so great :)

From:

You're the best! Thank you :)

No problem. I taught myself HTML about 15(!) years ago so I could post Janeway and Chakotay pictures on my first 'shipper boards for Star Trek Voyager. *g*

From:

Hee! I sense a kindred spirit :) Though I was always more a DS9 girl ~ I'd have been posting Kira and Odo pictures if I'd had the confidence back then! Thanks.

1. Song lyrics, from Alexi Murdoch's "Dream About Flying":
Sometimes I feel like I'm drowning
Actually it's more like most of the time
But every now and then when I'm sleeping
I still have a dream that I'm flying

2. Kara smiling:

3. Pigeon, from google search:

4. Arrow of Apollo: Kara’s mouth stretches into a broad, lazy grin. “Ah, yes…the infamous towel. You know, Lee, the entire fleet was hoping to get a good look at the Arrow of Apollo. You could almost hear the wails of disappointment when your towel didn’t slip farther down. Such a blow to morale.”

5. This is maybe a little obscure, as it's from a BSG/Lost crossover, but anyway: She knows the woman is easy to rile up – Sawyer's taken to calling her things like Latte and Frappuccino, which Kate suspects she doesn't even understand – and when he does, Kara swears at him, takes a swipe to spill his beer, while Sawyer merely laughs.

1. A song with lyrics that have flight imagery.
She flies like a kite, Hell at the other end
Tuggin' down on a cinnamon thread, she's shreddin' in the wind
But she reads the Bible, she believes the light
She thumbs through the pages 'til the good book smolders and ignites
She cries late at night, no one to hold her tight like she should be
Cinnamindy
Cinnamindy by Carbon Leaf. This is a very Kara song to me.

2. A screencap of Kara smiling

5. A BSG joke about Starbucks Coffee. (Quote from a fic, or visual joke)

Will come back and do the rest later.

From:

I downloaded Cinnamindy after you rec'd it awhile back, and it is too perfect for Kara. I love it.

From:

Hehe, the pigeon or the Frac? Both are from google, but I do actually have a photo of the latter. I'm just technologically incompetent.

From:

Frac made me laugh!

From:

Love the aurora borealis pic!

From:

Your Starbucks pic reminded me of something that happened to me the other morning. We go to this little coffee shop almost every day. This guy (carrying a Starbucks cup) was ahead of me in line and the cranky old woman who filled his poser cup up with coffee shouted (loudly) "Well there's yer coffee STARBUCK!" and I started laughing so hard that everyone thought I was nuts.

I now desperately want to bring in a poser cup just so I can get "Starbucked" too.
