turpsStolen from loads of people. The catch up meme.
So what have you been up to?
Recently helping Corey sort stuff out for uni. Helping make lists, decide together what kitchen stuff he needs to take etc. He's done all the big things himself, now it's just getting the smaller stuff sorted. I'm also organising a celebration dinner for Wednesday. It's for all his immediate family, which is great except it will be the first time mam and dad have seen each other since their divorce and mam and Kayleigh don't like my brother's partner and she doesn't like them, but I thought, screw it. It's Corey's celebration, they can sit at opposite ends of the table if need be.
Major life changes? Same old same old?
Just Corey heading to uni. I suppose for me you could say the wls thing, but it's just a lot of waiting at the moment.
What fandom are you in/do you spend most of your time in?
I'm still hanging in bandom. Mikey is still my favourite and seeing him so happy delights me. Saying that, I'm also patiently waiting for the next big thing to find me and sweep me away fannishly. It could have been Magic Mike but that fandom has tumble-weeds.
Where do you hang out online?
LJ and DW. I have a tumblr but haven't used it for years. I also go on twitter now and then, but never backread so miss a lot. And I really love instagram, so you know, if you use that and don't mind me following, let me know your name.
What are you reading?
I'm making my way through the Kate Daniels books right now. Werewolves, vampires, magic, kickass characters. I'm enjoying them loads.
What are you watching?
Thinking of what's in my DVR planner. My Kitchen Rules Australia, Hells Kitchen, America's Next Top Model, Project Runway, Agent Carter, Z Nation, Bake Off, The Last Leg, Wentworth. I've also got Killjoys and Aquarius to watch but haven't seen any eps yet.
What are you making?
Nothing. Unless you mean the very tasty cheese and tomatoes on toast I had for breakfast. A noise soon as it's coming up to dinner time and I'm still the only one up.
What are you squeeing about today?
Nothing yet but I am going to the cinema later and will be picking up a pair of trousers while I'm there. New clothes are always a good thing.
If you could rope old fandom friends into a new fandom, it would be.....
Magic Mike! Why is it not more active? I don't understand. There's a road trip, hot men, powerful ladies, excellent body positivity, Ken and Mike needing to patch up their friendship. It's all there, and yet, the fans aren't.
I should really watch/read/dive into _______ and then come talk to you about it!
Considering what a huge hockey fan I was back in the day you'd think hockey would attract me, but it just doesn't somehow. Same with MCU, love the characters and it seems to have loads of stories with tropes I love, and yet, that hasn't grabbed me either. Something/someone needs to drag me into something new already.
What else is on your mind?
That James' is feeling better when he wakes -- he's having a flare up of his amc right now so has been off work. That dad has a good day on Wed so can come to the dinner. He wants to come and said he's coming but was really poorly yesterday. That Corey will be okay at uni.
Less rl focussed, I've been watching the last episodes of Glee this morning and remembering how excited people in fandom were when the first episode became available early. It was such a huge thing back then. It's sad how it ended up turning so ridiculous. Then after that I put on Kerrang on I Write Sins was on, and I remembered how much I used to love Panic V2. Ah, sweet nostalgia.
