Current Mood: busy

(no subject)

I can't believe that it's Wednesday already. This week has been full of stuff, bad good and mostly boring. Our re mortgage went belly up which is annoying as hell. They'd messed us around for so long I snapped and refused to sign another thing, especially when they were saying we'd need another survey of the house to get things moving and just no. The reason the last survey was out of date was because of their incompetence so we told them to forget it. It was the Cubs AGM one night where Corey was presented with his first activity badges and both James and I had doctors appointments yesterday. I'm fine but he was diagnosed with sciatica which is why he's been having pain in his leg. Sadly it was his real one too ;)

Sunday was most fantastic as we spent the day with the lovely

interlock We actually got to Whitby early so went for a walk along the pier first before meeting up. Of course I had butterflies because I'm a sap but they were soon swept away with the fist hug. We had a lovely day of chat as we looked at shops, ate, drank and watched the goths v locals football game. We discussed the sdbs, stories, what we're writing and reading, especially

absinthe_makes and the soap opera that is Sucker. Yes, we talked about Sucker as the football match was played outside, sometimes I really enjoy my life :)

I just wish I'd found Justin's chocolate shop before this healthy eating thing because the things they have in there, it's enough to make you want to lick the window, really it is. Chocolate coffins and cannonballs which are nothing but thick chocolate surrounding alcohol soaked raisins and other good stuff. Fudge and toffee and chocolate. Mmmmm.

I did do a small Lance ficlet thing for

sky_pie which was interesting. I have the hardest time finding Lance's voice, he's so tricky and it's so easy to fall into stereotypes. Of course that goes for them all. Have I ever mentioned how much I hate the pretty kitty JC thing? Because I do, so so much. You should also all go see

xoverau's Backstreet Boys fic challenge because I need people to write lots of Kevin/Nick. Or you know if ~~you're insane and don't know any better~~ you like other pairings that's fine too. Go, write like the wind and spread the Backstreet goodness around.

Now I'm off to find a codec for Numb3rs, this no picture thing is getting old now.

ETA: The typo stays, you all know I have a dirty mind anyway ;)

Of course I had butterflies because I'm a sap but they were soon swept away with the fist hug.

Mwahahaha! That's the best typo ever ;)

But...

Or you know if you're insane and don't know any better you like other pairings that's fine too.

Don't make me start a pairing war in your journal. I need to go to bed soon.

Ahahahahaha, it really is. I may have to leave it.

You like something other than Kevin/Nick!? That's just wrong! ;)

Oh, you really must leave it there now.

There's nothing wrong with Kevin/Nick, except that there are other pairings as good ~~if not better~~.

So there ;p

Very pretty, and really I wouldn't say no to any of those pairings, but personally I like these.

Hm.

No.

But I love the look on Kevin's face in the last one.

You and me are going to have to have words I can see.

Is this better?

No, nope, sorry. Something's off. I don't see it.

Man, you're hard to please.

This?

EEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

;-)

But they're so romantic!

Whoa! Look at those arms and shoulders on Kevin!

Niiiiiiiiiiiiice!

dammit, I'm getting scared ;-)

WooHoo!

We have a winner!

I'm all overcome now ;)

I bet there's more coming going on than over, which totally made sense in my head.

:-p

It makes sense to me too.

I think I should be scared.

*dies*

YAY!

Someone with taste at last!

Mmmm, very nice. Just lacking in variety ;) What we need (hell, we need any Boysfic *g*) is some threesomes and GSF!

Like the first picture. In the non-slashy kind of way. It's cute. AJ looks good. I need my head examined.

I need my head examined

And you just realised that now?

Oy!

That was ... hmph ... totally uncalled for.

Would this be a good time to "punish" you by posting Lambs pictures? :-p

NO! Please no. I'll do anything. Beg, kneel at your feet. ANYTHING!

NOT THE LAMBS!

Works like a charm.

Hee!

How on earth did I miss this comment? :)

Obviously you didn't seeing as your commenting to it! ahahahaha

I'm never gonna live that down, am I? ;-)

It is more cute than slashy (I was in a hurry and couldn't find better threesome shots *g*), and AJ does look good, so you don't need your head examined at all! :)

I love that top picture, and yeah, I totally agree. More boyfic at all is what we need, never mind the pairing.

Top. *giggle*

Yeah, I like thinking of Nick topping Kevin, it's such a pretty picture.

I'm pimping the challenge and offering footage, I neeeeeeeeed new Boysfic :) I'm also considering signing up, but a) haven't really written fanfic in years and b) am insanely busy, so that means...I might end up doing it? *g*

I haven't written boysfic for years either, and even then it was lame. The very first stuff I did in the fandom. Which translated means I'm thinking about it too so you should for sure.

You are such a good writer, you have to participate!

If I can come up with an even half-decent idea, I'll try :)

Howie and Nick? Hm.

AJ and Kevin? Uh huh.

[slaps self]

No, stop with the slapping! I have more pretty pictures!

Late last year I did pairing picspam (http://www.livejournal.com/users/erilyn/233366.html). Check out the Howie/Nick and AJ/Kevin entries there (I'm resisting the urge to say "only look at the HoNi", cause while they are my BSB OTP, I do love all pairings. Really.)

Nick is my BSB gateway drug, but I'd never thought of him and Howie but that photo .... hmm.

but I'd never thought of him and Howie

::clutches chest in shock::

You've never known the wonder that is Howie/Nick? Late last year I did pairing picspam (http://www.livejournal.com/users/erilyn/233366.html), please check out the Howie/Nick posts. They're the most incredibly touchy-feely pair ever (except for all the other pairings, which are also really cute, so you can look at them too *g*).

Dear Erilyn,

I love you.

Love,
Me :D

::blows a kiss in the general direction of the UK::

the fist hug

ahahahahaha!

I guess it's obvious where your mind is at. Again ;-)

Ever get the feeling a typo is going to come back and haunt you? *g*

Okay, you could be right about where my mind was *blush*

You just know I'm not gonna let you forget about that one!

I wouldn't expect anything less from you.

tongues, fists. *thud*

ps : would you happen to have the superbowl performance? just the performance?

should i go and flash you?;-)

You don't happen to go through Washington Mutual for your mortgage, do you? We've had nothing but problems with them since we bought the house 2 years ago! They've done everything from lose payments to giving credit on someone else's account for a payment we've made... I HATE them.

Nope. It wasn't them but that situation sounds familiar. It annoys me so much that they make you do all the running to get a mortgage then totally screw things up on their end. So much for being professional.

Fist hug LOL I love that typo. I do it all the time too and I never know whether to be annoyed or amused. Though amused usually wins - besides it provokes some damn pretty images so yay, kinky typo!

Glad to hear the meeting was a blast and proud of you for kicking some asses, too.

And hope you'll find the codecs for Numb3rs. Codecs... the bane of our existence *glares*

It really is a kinky typo and one that I like quite a lot, which is good as it keeps getting mentioned *g*

The meeting really was a blast and man, asses needed kicking about the mortgage thing. They've had us hanging since last year and I was sick of it.

I hate codecs so much though I suspect when I was trying to give Silver the kiss of life I may have deleted the codec pack I installed last week. But still, why must I do the dance of the codecs week after week!?

I'll just sit and stare at your icon I think.

yay - seeing you guys on Sunday was wonderfull - thank you so much for coming down. The sureality factor of that football match was ace ;)

Grrrr and Argh to mortgage people. Grrrr I tell you.

And poor James - sciatica is No Fun Whatsoever.

It really was wonderful, I had a blast as always. Especially at the football match, sitting in that small room with your friends on one side, those old men on the other talking about Sucker is a memory that's still so vivid.

I was so pissed at the mortgage people, I think if he'd been here in person I would have slammed the door in his face.

Yeah, he's not a happy bunny just now, but getting him to take his tablets is another matter.

What am I, chopped liver? Because of my love for the AJ/Kevin? :P

Nope, not chopped liver. Just slightly misguided ;)

Pft. I shall make you see the light.

If that means lots of hot stories about AJ/Kevin feel free to show me the light/

If you're expecting them from me, don't your hopes up.

I like angst. *sits down to wait*

I totally see that. I do.

I'm sorry to hear that things fell through with your mortgage, also about James' leg. That sounds painful.

Have I ever mention how much I hate the pretty kitty JC thing?

Oh, god. Me too. That's like one of my major fic squicks.

Yeah, I wasn't amused at all that things fell through, especially as we're back at square one right now. His leg is painful too, now he just needs to take his tablets.

Oh, god. Me too. That's like one of my major fic squicks.

It's so damn annoying. He's so much more than that and seeing stories just with pretty kitty JC make me back out so fast.

It's so damn annoying. He's so much more than that and seeing stories just with pretty kitty JC make me back out so fast.

Hm. I wonder if that's why I don't particularly like JC: the stories I've tried have been of the JC-the-pretty-kitty variety and he doesn't work with either Lance or Chris (my major Nsync obsessions). Which stories should I read if I want to see other JCs - preferably paired with Chris or Lance or a Backstreet boy (and absolutely *not* Justin)?

PS I hope things work out allright for you in the end. Mortgage problems *and* illness at the same time must be awful.

There is an awesome JC/Chris archive here (http://www.infinitepassions.com/jcchrisarchive/), which you should check out. Wonderful stories and really tough to pick just one. Wander around, you won't regret it, I promise :-)

Lots of stories there, now I know what I'm going to do this weekend. Thank you.

The archive that Eva gave you is a great start for the trickc, have you been to the bassez archive which is here (http://www.a-thousand-words.org/twoofus/) and the cross over archive which will give you some great BSB cross overs is here (http://www.juppy.org/where/).

That should be a good start for you and a lot to take in so I'll hold off on individual recs for you. I'm more than willing to give some if you still want them later though.

Thank you. It is pretty tough right now but we'll get past it, we always do.

Bookmarked the the bassez one - more to look at over the weekend. And the link to juppy.org reminded me that I should take a look at the SeSa archive without my trickyfish glasses on. (I really have to overcome this feeling I have that reading about Lance and/or Chris with someone else than each other is just plain wrong ;-)

That should be a good start for you and a lot to take in so I'll hold off on individual recs for you. I'm more than willing to give some if you still want them later though.

Thank you for the offer, I'll keep it in mind.

Did I hear right? Did you just give out the url to the Bassez archive?

Yes I did!

And I was crying every second it took to type out the url ;)

Liar! XD

Well maybe not crying as such but there was a tear, a very tiny one, well hidden *g*

I cannot imagine why you would think we might think (or know) you have a dirty mind. I mean, *really*, Terri! ;)

I have no idea! All I can think is that it's the company I keep as I personally am as innocent as innocent can be ;)

I've just remortgaged with Tesco / First Active. Went through really quickly, the day after we filled the forms in online they'd run us and it was through within the month I think... Easter was in there which lost 2 days remember!

I totally recommend them.

Thanks for the rec. I'm going to check them out for sure.

...I think I may be dead now. Why is there no warning on that scroll? Teh HOT.

If those people weren't all already involved in the challenge comm, I'd be pimpin'. :)

Well I hadn't intended to post all those pics, but you know how these things go sometimes. You just have to post them ;)

I'm so excited for this challenge, it'll be so cool!

Are you gonna play huh huh huh huh? (Even if not, please share some of these pix in the community! They're gorgeous and pairing-y and stuff!)

I haven't made up my mind if I'm playing yet or not. It's been a long time since I tried to write boysfic.

*bouncebouncebouncebouncebounce* Puhlee-uhse!

Thanks for all the fun BSB pictures. I had almost forgotten how slashy they are.

You're more than welcome.

It's always fun posting pictures, even if I hadn't intended too *g*

You should also all go see xoverau's Backstreet Boys fic challenge because I need people to write lots of Kevin/Nick.

Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhh. Yes! I whole heartedly agree and support!

WooHoo! You have great taste!
