turps: (no words)
I had a very lovely day yesterday. Reading stocking fills, pottering around the house and answering comments.

Then when I went to bed I was checking Insta -- as I usually do -- and saw JC had posted pictures of carrots and knew I'd have to discuss that with [livejournal.com profile] solariana today. If you don't know what I'm on about, there's a new show in the US that has masked and costumed celeb singers one of whom is either Joey or JC from Nsync. Jacie's been doing a wonderful job of keeping us in the loop with what's happening, and I've been enjoying the theories of who rabbit actually is. Now the question is, is it JC or is it a double bluff!?

Now the icon meme, these were picked by [personal profile] shadowhive who had the choice of about 70% Mikey and the rest others. Which suggests I really need to update my icons already.



I like owls, not for any real concrete reasons. I just like them, especially how they portrayed in graphic form, like they're so wise and usually cranky with it. I like how they always seem to be looking at you and finding you lacking. Really, they're cats in feathered form. They're also really powerful, something I realised when I got to hold one last year. The icon was made by [personal profile] turlough like many of my icons because she's great at them.



This icon has such great memories and is tied to when MCR first started to tour again. It had been a long time without seeing them, and I remember searching for photos of that first show and then suddenly, there they were, and omg, they looked good. I'd known that Mikey had changed his hairstyle, but actually seeing him perform with that blond flippy hair and that animal print top that never came off his back and just.... GAH! I can remember posting those pics really late -- for me anyway, and everyone flailing, so of course, I needed an icon to remind me of that. I've actually just gone looking for that post, which was easier than I expected as I don't tend to use subjects so this one stood out. So if you too want to bask in memories, it's here.



As soon as I saw this I knew it was appropriate for me and my h/c love. With not writing as much that may not be that apparent to new people, but I do love h/c and back when I used to write stories with some length to them I used to love being mean to the characters. I always laugh when I think of When Day.... because poor Brendon. The thing that boy went through. But it's what I love to write, and the icon really sums that up.

I've just spent most of the afternoon finishing Shut Up and Drive by Trojie and uglowian.

It's really long and I actually started reading it a while back but then had a computer swap and lost my tabs, but today I got back into it and couldn't stop reading.

It's bandom, MCR and FOB and don't worry if you're not into cars or street racing as I'm not and that didn't affect my enjoyment at all.

Every person in the story was perfect, my heart ached for them all, especially Mikey and Pete and Patrick. And Andy, he was so good, and just everything about the story was great. I was speed reading like a demon near the end needing to know what happened.
