It's been a busy weekend. Saturday we went clothes shopping for something to wear to my dad's partner's 60th birthday party which will also do for the moderately tidy dinner at Connotations. Talking of which, I have to be annoying and say, 10 SLEEPS!

Sunday it was dad's birthday, not that we celebrated as such. We just went to see him at nanna's and took a card then sat around talking for a while. To be honest I've spent most of my time reading. I've missed having a hand held so much, so to have Talliswood and Mysterious Ways and Book of Secrets etc at my finger tips is wonderful. Curled up in a blanket on the couch, or lying in bed in the darkness, fully in the world of the story you're reading. Even sitting on the church wall, waiting for Corey. I love my hand held so much. Especially today when I had a doctor's appointment at 2:30 which left me almost an hour to kill before picking up Corey. As there wasn't really time to go home I ended walking in the park then sitting under a tree reading Mysterious Ways, which was just perfect until a bunch of teens came to find conkers, which meant throwing sticks at the tree right next to where I was sitting. Not wanting to be taken out by a stick I moved to my usual spot in the church yard, under the bush on the wall and finished my story there in peace.

Which was good as I needed all the peace I could get, as coming home Corey made my world spin a little when he casually asked 'what's porn?' The thoughts flew through my mind, had he managed to uncover some of my hidden files on the computer, read something he shouldn't have? What?! So I made do with the old stand by 'why do you want to know?' To which he replied 'you know, porn. Like those white cracker things you get from the chinese takeaway' At which point my heart started to beat again when I realised he meant prawn crackers. *g*

Unrelated, Lia broke up with Kayliegh this weekend. They sent texts to one another saying they still loved each other but Lia didn't want to move up North and Kayleigh didn't want to move down South. Kay is gutted, especially as she was told by text message when she was at work. She cried and took all the pictures of Lia down and it's all so sad, and I know there's not a damn thing I can do to make her feel better just now, doesn't mean I don't want to try.

Now I make like a sheep and meme

LJ Interests meme results

1. boyband slash:
   They're pretty, they look good together, especially when they're in a moaning groaning twist of bodies with kissing and licking and all those other good things. What's not to like about boyband slash?
2. crack and typewriters:
   Ahahahaha. This may need explaining. At nopseud's mini sparkly con we were discussing the fic_requests comm where someone had just asked for a ficlet where Lance is raped, becomes pregnant and Justin becomes the baby's other daddy. That led to the comment that anything can be written when you've a mindful of crack and a typewriter, or words to that effect anyway. So yes, the people at that con became the crack and typewriter gang ;)
   
   Btw. Pensnest actually wrote that story if anyone is interested, just with a twist *g*
3. fastlane:
   My eye candy show. Van and Deaq, Billie and the Candystore. I loved it so much. The show was flashy, fast paced, humorous and so damn slashy. It was also over far too soon.
4. h/c:
   My favourite kind of story.
5. kevin richardson:
   You'll all know this but Kevin was my first sdb crush. I was a BSB fan way before I knew about Nsync and Kevin my boy of choice. He was beautiful, all green eyes and dark glossy hair, so so pretty. As he still is now.
6. music:
   I love music, it's just a background to my life.
7. popslash:
   Which is the same reply as boyband slash. Pretty popboys who look great together. Popslash is also the fandom I love, full of wonderful people and stories, incredible generosity and really, just somewhere I enjoy being.
8. savage garden:
   Darren and Daniel....sigh. I miss them. A great duo with some incredible music that I love a lot. Sadly they split leaving us with nothing but memories, and a greatest hits album. Bah!
9. slashfic:
   I don't know how to cut this down. I just love reading slash, it was like coming home when I found my first online slash groups.
10. trickc:
    I only have one thing to say.
    
    It's all about the love.

And you know if it comes to it I can just fangirl you for puppet Chris *g*

And this makes me guilty, because I actually wanted to finish this story, but I wasn't really motivated and most of the time I opened the file, stared at the words, and an hour later closed it again without adding anything at all. *sigh*

I probably won't talk a lot, just listen to you all talk.

No need to feel guilty. We've all been there when a story just doesn't talk to us. Heck, I've been staring at the Boxes sequel each day for weeks.

And you know even if you do listen that's just fine. You're there and that's all that matters :)
