castalie. Your envelope just arrived! Mouse sent me Umbrella Academy, and I'm so looking forward to reading. It was just what I needed to cheer me up today. Thank you! *mwah*

I started yesterday by getting irritable in email, and ended it that way too. At least I was consistent. But ♥ for the people who put up with me.

It was my niece's birthday yesterday. She was 6 so we bought her the most adorable High School Musical cheer leading outfit. Which was a huge hit. We went through there for her tea party, then came home to make sure Corey had everything ready for school. ETA: picture here

He started back today, and man, that alarm clock was a shock to the system. His school has moved the start time to 8:30 which means getting up even earlier. Then when he got ready and put on his new school trousers we realised they'd been miss labeled and were far too big. So he's in his old ones until we can get to the shop for an exchange.

It's also mam's birthday today. She's 60 and said she wanted no fuss, so we went through old pictures and printed out a selection and presented them in a nice frame. A gift she seems to like. Her friends insisted on having a mini party at the club, which mam didn't want but they did anyway. They phoned asking if we'd go down, but really, no way in hell.

The speakers on my computer are totally bust now. Even in music any words sound like they're being sang underwater. It's so sad making because I have things I need to watch.

The kidlet is due in any moment and no doubt will be starving to death. I'll sort him out then my plans are writing some more Bob in Spaaaace! Then the Big Brother eviction show tonight. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Mikey to be evicted but I can't see it happening.

When I first received my JuC swap assignment I sort of freaked a little. Not because of the request, but the recipient. Because llamabitchyo is an active and very helpful part of my beta filter, and I knew she'd expect me to share fic. Because that's what I do on my beta filter. I throw out ideas and random words and drafts. Honestly, my beta readers are all stars.

So, I knew I'd have to throw her off the scent somehow. I did so by dreaming up the most insane story. In it, there's a horrendous bus crash, Chris ties a tourniquet to stop Justin bleeding out, but in doing so stops blood flow and Justin loses an arm, and also an eye. Though that one's not Chris' fault.

The reason the bus crashed? Justin found out that JC was cheating with Britney, and she was pregnant. So they were rowing, Justin threw a shoe and crash! Overcome, JC goes to try and get help, but it's a dark stormy night and he's lost, presumed dead. All that's found of him is his flip flops at the side of the road.

Justin starts to heal, but, plunged into depression he holes up in his room and begins to hear JC talking to him. JC who is dead remember. Meanwhile, Justin vows to bring up dead JC's baby. Of course, Justin has to adapt to being one-armed and one-eyed. Which leads to scenes where he looks at his sneakers and knows he can't tie the laces. Or tries to play basketball and fails.

Did I mention Lance is evil in this? And that he may get redeemed by ghostly JC love?

Honestly, it's utter crack, and I have so many details, especially because I spent a lot of time emailing and commenting with nopseud. This story may be finished next year for the take back the badfic challenge, until then, I thought I'd share the words I wrote and shared to mislead Inky. I'll be posting the real story in a moment. But until then, have some crack.

In which there is a lot of blood, and over 1000 words. Which meant I could have used this as my real swap entry. Inky, you had a lucky escape ;)

I can't thank msktranny, ephemera_pop and especially nopsued enough for their help with this. I changed so many details and they let me wibble when I realised that the thing wasn't flowing at all.

Basically. This is an AU set in a British holiday camp. Where Justin is the newbie, the BSB all have roles. Certain people are given cameos and Justin wonders why the fuck people can't see.
