turpsI'm so gone on Magnificent Seven right now. It's a fandom I've had a brush with before, but I was traumatised by a story where Vin's dick was referred by as a pole. What can I say, it was a long time ago when I was innocent and pure. They started re running it here a few weeks ago, and since then my fannish love has gone boom! Vin/Ezra is my new shiny OTP and I've downloaded season two, which is sadly an older version and not a dvd rip, so the quality is suspect. So yeah. I'm having a load of fun. I love the cowboys and I love the ATF universe, and man, there's all this fic, and so much is h/c. I'm wallowing in the stuff and loving every moment.
I've got an appointment with my lympodemia nurse later. Can't say I'm looking forward to it either. I mean, it's Ann and she's lovely, but things haven't been going that well lately and she'll be just one more person to disappoint. My legs are really swollen at the moment too, not helped by the time of the month where I suspect I retain water as well as all the stupid lymph fluid.
I need to give myself a kick and get back out walking more often. Sadly I tend to hole up in the house and the longer that goes on the harder it is to get going again. I will, I always do, but man, hauling myself back on track gets harder each time.
Still, compared to before this is still a big improvement. It's like, I was watching the season opener of Nip/Tuck season 3, and it was a woman so huge she hadn't moved from her sofa in three years. And just, I was gutted watched. The way people laughed as the house wall was knocked down so she and the sofa could be carried out by a load of firemen. She was put on an open truck and everyone was laughing and pointing, and I don't want to be that woman.
And I won't be. But I can't help the 'what ifs?'
Wow, cheery post. I'm okay, no need for hugs or comments. I'm just nervous about the appointment. But before I go there we're going for tickets for the preview of Pirates tonight, and Pirates make everything better. Pirates, cowboys and sparkly boys. A combination of wonder.

I hope your appointment goes well!

Date: 2007-05-24 07:57 am (UTC)I don't mind gen at all. You were saying how the seven are like the sparkly fandom in all the pairings, but I find that it works with there being something special when all seven are together too. They're just awesome, and I need to pick an icon from those links you sent already *g*
Yeah, I need to get out and do stuff too. I was doing so well but it's slipped lately and that's not good.
I hope your appointment goes well!
Thank you :)

Date: 2007-05-24 07:32 am (UTC)And can you believe I've only watched one M7 episode in all my life? It's not for lack of wanting, of course, but it never aired here, I think, and I never really had the courage to go and download the thing and I've just found one single episode by chance, one day.
It didn't stop me from reading my share of Chris/Vin, as you know :-) Though the other day I wanted very badly to re-read several series where Vin is put through the ringer - in such an outrageous way but I couldn't help love it and I couldn't find the site again and it made me sad! No traumatised, sick, raped, enslaved, broken Vin for me!
Well, I did survive because I actually have all those high-quality fics stored on my HD, but sometimes you just want the outrageous angst, you know? And I know you do lol

Date: 2007-05-24 07:54 am (UTC)Well, I have all of season 2 and would upload it for you somewhere if you feel the need to check it out. Like I said the quality is pretty bad but still. Cowboys!
This may surprise you, but I've been reading several Vin gets abused in an outrageous way stories lately. One was 24 parts long, there was pain and past abuse memories and crying! I loved it. It's here (http://www.angelfire.com/tx5/suen/Quicksand.htm) if you want to check it out.
I do know about wanting outrageous angst! *hi fives fellow sick puppy*

Yo Ho Me Hearties.... PIRATES! Slashiest of the slashy movies.

I'm so looking forward to Pirates! I just hope there's tickets left. The only bad thing about having the cinema card is you can't book in advance.

I hear you about the walking thing. I need to do it, too. It's hard to be motivated when you're tired, even if you know that exercising will help the being tired -- vicious cycle, isn't it? *hugs you* I'm always cheering you on, honey. I'm very proud and happy for you, the progress you've made. Don't worry about backsliding once in a while, think instead about all the steps forward you've done.
*smooch*

Date: 2007-05-24 11:52 am (UTC)You can post of less cheery stuff, love. I don't like it when my friends are sad. :(
It'd be nice if we could all band together to work out, or walk together and track our health progress. :) Maybe you could find a motivator or something. I used to work out to like, various different bad pop songs. XXDDD

Pirates, cowboys and sparkly boys.
So this is a new AU you're contemplating I take it ;-)

Date: 2007-05-24 03:36 pm (UTC)Mag7 is fabulous - I just got my season 2 DVDs yesterday, and plan an orgy of viewing for the coming long weekend! my personal OTP is Buck/Ezra (which is harder to find) but I gleefully read just about any pairing, and lots of gen, which is rare for me in most fandoms
I can relate some about the weight/health worries - but keeping moving at least some will probably prevent the couchiness. I've had similar fears at times, but awareness and determination makes it less likely for you. I'm not hugging, just thinking positively in your direction
