Oh dear *god* I miss my Ship

[ithika]

*weeps* I've been looking at photos of her, as that's what my new layout's header's going to be all about (yo). Wearing my sailing gloves makes me feel marginally better. They smell like ship. And are filthy with line-dirt. Happy.
I'm so making a whole icon set from my voyage. I still have something like 50 icons left, so, yeah. That is what's going to happen. Oh dear. I want to go on that cheap voyage... but I shouldn't! SO MANY OTHER THINGS I NEED MONEY FOR.
Okay. After exams, I'm volunteer crewing for a weekend or something. Sailing! Whee. *whines*

Halo 2 is awesome! I played for a few hours today. Ph30r. I go now. Update later. Yes.

I also recommend googling 'Leeuwin ship' or something similar...

[chesnutella.livejournal.com]

I found another good one...

wow! You're completely right. *dance*

[bloodied-aura.livejournal.com]

Yess... I'm looking through my voyage photos and getting all wistful, sappy and nostalgic... Hehe.
I don't know. I sooo wanted to go on the volunteer crew voyage thingo this december but I totally shouldn't be spending my monies on things like (awesome) tall ship adventures when I have things I need... sigh. *weeps*
Good luck to your sister! *turns greeen with envy*

Thankee!

Mmm. Yess, that's a good idea. Thanks :D That's how I got the picture for my favourite Leeuwin icon (this one :D)

[chesnutella.livejournal.com]

*sighs wistfully*

Well if you do decide to go on one I'm stowing away in your luggage :P

I was just admiring your icon *squints* is she under full sail there?

[bloodied-aura.livejournal.com]

hehe, okay. But it might be a little cramped... O_o

Erm, I'm not sure. I think so. I can't tell if the sails behind the square sails (er, I've completely forgotten what they're called! *shame* Um, between the foremast and main mast. You know the ones... I can't tell if they're up... but it is pretty innit ^^ ♥ Leeuwin

[tattered-pinion.livejournal.com]

Wow, the Leeuwin is pretty small. Ballistae could totally own that.

[bloodied-aura.livejournal.com]

no way. The leeuwin is fast and manueverable.

[tattered-pinion.livejournal.com]

Faster than a ballista bolt?!

[thenewleafturns.livejournal.com]

Fire catapults ftw.

[tattered-pinion.livejournal.com]

For efficiency, yes, but ballistae get the style points.

[thenewleafturns.livejournal.com]

Fire Ballistae?

Frankly, style points go to Hannibal for his Snakes-in-Jars method of winning naval battles.

[tattered-pinion.livejournal.com]

No, no, not fire ballistae. But yes, throwing jars of venomous snakes is pretty funny.

[bloodied-aura.livejournal.com]

nope! The Leeuwin is a steel-hulled and masted ship. Or iron, probably. I don't remember (!)

[tattered-pinion.livejournal.com]

It'd still put holes in it though!

[bloodied-aura.livejournal.com]

sure... sure

*note to self: install cannon in Leeuwin*

[tattered-pinion.livejournal.com]

Landbased cannon would make even more of a mess of the Leeuwin!

[almightybean.livejournal.com]

Yknow what'd make a pretty big mess of the leeuwin? Submarines. Or pretty much any modern military ship. Now that would be a hilarious fight. Meghan on the Leeuwin and Trent in some giant Destroyer. Hilarity++

Sad thing is, in games of Civ, the tallships can beat the modern ones :(

[thenewleafturns.livejournal.com]

Aircraft carrier ftw!

[penchaft.livejournal.com]

I now have this image in my head, of a tallship hitting a modern ship with its sails until it dies. WHACK WHACk WHACK

[chesnutella.livejournal.com]

ROFL!!!
Thats the best mental image I've had since beginning of study week!

[tattered-pinion.livejournal.com]

I sort of imagined the prow opening up and eating it

[penchaft.livejournal.com]

With amusing sound effects?

[tattered-pinion.livejournal.com]

Growls and perhaps a Jaws theme, yes.

[bloodied-aura.livejournal.com]

Ahahaahaahahaahaaah. I'd totally win. *pre-victory dance*
