We went to pick up James' tuxedo yesterday morning, and then after that it was off to dad's for a visit. He was so much better than he has been for a while, he was talking more with actual inflection in his tone, and had a spark to him that's been missing for ages now. I've missed him being like that, I've missed him being able to hold an actual conversation.

After that we went to see my niece and nephew, and at one point I was holding Lewis with Hallie hanging onto my leg. But again it was a good visit, so I took the morning as a win.

Then I had myself a Project Runway Canada marathon and read bad waycest fic, both of which kept me very amused, and also had me reading along and being all, 'don't go there... No... NO!!'

It was nice watching PR and not having to worry about being spoiled, being as some people don't seem to think reality show results deserve spoilers. Which brings me nicely to Lance, but more specifically Lacey. Honestly, some of the reaction posts I saw rubbed me up the wrong way. How is it ever right to call people names? It's not, simple as.

To end, have this meme.

Put your MP3 player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title.

I'm duplicating my journal over at Insane Journal at the moment, and had just gone and checked the progress when an entry from 2003 caught my eye. In it I was gleeful that merryish's Chris challenge had gone live and that hammerhead22 was posting wonderful Chris pictures. But it was this I loved the most, posted in small text, even.

I may have discovered that I have a kink for Chris with braces though

Which, yeah, that remained a secret for all of a minute.

It's so weird reading all those old posts. The 100 Ways challenge, the old boyband drabble community, the day the cancelled Mutant X. The fact that even back then I was a challenge addict. Seeing names of people that are still around now. Mouse, Josh, Fi, Jo and so many more, people who've stuck around for over 6 years, which is just, wow. When grandad died and I first got that stupid infection that lasted for years and got much worse before it got better.

There's so much and I'm really glad I'm taking the time to make this dupe.
