I really like the new Nigels 11 song. Chris sounds wonderful and I so can't wait to hear more. *squees happily to self*

Reading a story this weekend I was about to throw Jordan out of a window if one of the characters didn't stop refering to the other as his lover. Yes, I know he's your lover, you've just shown that when you had your dick up his ass and your tongue in his mouth. Plus the scenes of utter sap after that. I don't need to be reminded over and over. I'm not stupid, I'm not going to forget what's happened two seconds after that big old sex scene. What's wrong with names? They're perfectly good and so much better to read than his lover sat down, his lover made a sandwich, his lover looked out the window , or worse, the dreaded 'the brunette' 'the small, big eyed dark-haired man' They have names. Use them.

Dinner was good yesterday. We had fun but sadly my meal wasn't good at all. I'd gone for the chicken pie with a mashed potato top instead of pastry. Considering I have to make these dinner's out count in terms of being stricter other times, I want something good you know? But my pie was average at best. Very little chicken and I'm sure the potato was the instant kind. After that we dropped mam off home and went to get Corey a cinema card before seeing Shaggy Dog and Pink Panther, both of which were okay. I wasn't expecting much from Pink Panther but I was laughing a lot at certain points.

We walked out of Shaggy Dog along the corridor and straight in to see the next movie. It was a screen we'd never been in before and as usual we sat in the row where you first come in. Normally there's about 20 rows in front of that, but in this screen there was only three, so we were sitting being blinded by the screen. Plus, the seat wasn't that comfy. If I'd have gone there first I would have been gutted and thought the thighs were spreading again. But I knew that wasn't true as the first show was fine, I guess some seats are just that bit smaller than others.

James and I are going to the cinema tonight when he comes home from work. Due to strikes Corey's off school tomorrow so he can stay at mam's until we get back so James and I can see an actual adult film. Not sure what yet though, he wants to see Hostel but there's no way I'm seeing that. I hate horror films, I hate gore in films so if he wants to see that he's seeing it solo.

I was tagged by [livejournal.com profile] turloughishere for the



Guilt
What is yours?
Explain yourself
Culinary: Jelly sweets. There's many things I could have put in here, enough that the list would have scrolled down and down, but I've picked jelly sweets. I love them, they're yummy and the tart sugar coated ones are just delicious. Thing is, I can't eat one or two. It's more like if the bag's open the bag will be empty within minutes.
Literary: Hardy Boys I seem to be mentioning these a lot lately *g* They're boy's kids books, but I still read them. Joe, Frank and their friends ( or chums in the older ones I have ) just make me happy.
Audiovisual: Reality tv Big Brother, Project Catwalk, It's Me or the Dog, Extreme Make Over..... the list goes on, and I watch them all.
Musical: Steps Come on, everyone wants to throw their hands in the air when Tragedy comes on the radio. Don't they?.....
Celebrity: Lamp He's a celebrity! He is! Do I really need to explain myself? It's just... he's lamp man, he rocks ;)






I keep forgetting about this but, if you've a burning desire to know my MySpace it's here. I don't actually use it much, just for stalking keeping updated with certain things, but if you want to see, feel free.

Yeah, me too. I was looking forward to my dinner too.

We were thinking about going to see that. I don't mind blood and stuff in itself, it's just Hostel is gore to the extreme. When the review says compared to Hostel the Texas Chainsaw Massacre is nothing, well, I'm not going to see it.

People don't appreciate Lamp ;)

I honestly couldn't think of anyone. I don't have guilt about anyone I like...OMG! Yes I do! I should have put Richard Hammond, because damn! You made me read Top Gear slash and I was scarred for life! Never have I wanted to think about Clarkson having sex.

I hate the use of "lover" in a story, hate it.

"His dark-haired blue-eyed lover" would probably make me stop reading it.

You and me both. It's an annoying and lazy way to write.

But right now, working on the remix, I'm so tempted. Same-sex sex scenes-where pronouns are not your friend. I'm pretty much pulling my hair out.

I really like the new Nigels 11 song too!!! :-D *has it playing over and over as she idles myspace* lol

Yes, I know he's your lover, you've just shown that when you had your dick up his ass and your tongue in his mouth

*GiggleSnort!* Wow. Thank you for this. Not only making me giggle crack up laughing really really hard, but !!!! because yes. That gets really annoying, I agree. I get bugged by pronounes too, especially in slash. "He went to the kitchen as he followed behind" WHICH ONE DID WHAT? lol

It's an awesome song. I may have listened 178992716290 a few times since I downloaded it.

Pronouns can trip stories up so easily. If you're writing m/m you really need to watch you don't end up with too many 'he's' or the story gets impossible to follow.

<-- is on the floor from laughing so hard

The whole lover thing? Dude, I so agree with you on that. Some folks just get to carried away with it. Yo.

*squees with you*

LOL.

Yeah, exactly. One or two lovers, that's okay. But every sentence is stupid.

*squees again*

How's things with you?
