turpsHappy birthday, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
musicdiamond. I hope it's a great day!
One of my neighbours just knocked at the front door. I answered and she sort of looked as if she didn't know what to say, then said that she knew things had been rough for us lately and if she could do anything, just ask. And just, what the hell? I don't know what she's heard but she's way off base. I didn't know what the heck to say, because I'm grateful that she came, but also a little boggled about why.
Yesterday James parked up in the garage, got out, locked the door using two brand new padlocks, then realised he'd left the padlock keys in the car. A few hours, a friend, and some bolt cutters later, and the door could finally be opened again.
All you can do is laugh, because it's so ridiculous.
Also yesterday I finally paid my Camp Sparkle deposit, thank goodness. It was looking dicey that I could actually afford to go for a while, but we've managed.
Thanks towistfuljane and her amazingly clear instructions, I installed del.icio.us glue yesterday, and the first digest has just been delivered to my journal. Which makes me insanely pleased at having made the thing work. It means I can just tag any newsletter stuff onto del.icio.is, and then pull all seven posts together on a Monday.
Del.icio.us really is such a cool thing, and I'll admit upfront I have glee when I see any of my stories saved on there, geeking out over the nice comments.
There were some amazing prompts left for the Chris month ficlet prompts. I swear, people picked people that were guaranteed to make me flail in a most frenzied way. Either through total OMG SQUEE! or a OMG WTF!? way. I suspect a lot may be gen, because some of them the thought of actual kissage going on is enough to make me just sit and drool, and that won't achieve anything! Well it would make me happy, but still. Drooling people! Don't make me need to keep a hankie on my desk. But yes, lots of bandom crosses, and crimeshow crosses but a distinct lack of BSB crosses. This saddens me. Where is the Chris/Kevin love? Doluxshine and I have to flag that flag alone?
Why is no one updating? Fine, I'll entertain myself.
Top fives! Give me a topic and I'll list my top 5 things. If it's pictures I'll provide them, same with songs. It can be anything you want.
Go for it!

Nopseud and Pen's houses. It counts!
Durham. It's such an easy going place, filled with lovely things to look at.

Autumn, when things are cool and there's a nip of frost in the air.
5 reasons you like Chris/Nick
Because when they play basket ball Nick always shows off by jumping up high, but Chris retaliates by grabbing Nick around the knees.
Because they both like to eat junk food in front of the tv, sitting curled on the sofa, surrounded by snacks and watching trashy shows.
Because Nick likes to hold Chris' hands above his head and kiss him silly.
Because when Nick is on the phone to his mom, Chris always stands close and scowls
Because they're damn pretty together.
5 tv shows you think everyone should watch or had watched
Mutant X! Then they can write lots of Brennan fic for me!
Red Dwarf. Because it's funny.
Voyager.
Dante's Cove, because bad gay soap operas are fun
Without a Trace, so I can have someone to squee about Danny and Martin with
5 reasons why Rachel (from Kim Harrison's books) could kick Anita Blake's ass.
Because Anita is having so much sex she's exhausted
Because Anita is so busy stressing out about Jean Claude and Asher being together she doesn't watch her back
Because Nathaniel did laundry and now Anita's holsters just don't fit right.
Because Anita tries to do everything and stretches her time too thin, leading to her being distracted.
Because Anita got tangled in all the hair that's always surrounding her.
5 things you like about Top Gear.
Richard!
The fact Richard, James and Jeremy are such good friends.
The challenges
The Stig!
The show is wonderfully slashy.

Date: 2008-01-24 10:03 am (UTC)Mikey hasn't admitted it in so many words, but he has a thing for Hulk Hogan. It's the hair, and the outfit, and the fact Mikey often fantasizes about being taken against the corner of of a wresting ring, clutching the ropes in each hand, Hulks stringy blond hair brushing against his neck.
It would have been the worst idea ever, but Mikey wanted to sleep with Patrick, just once, to see what he has that's so special that Pete would leave Mikey for him.
Mikey met Britney once. It was at one of those industry events and he'd been lingering in the men's room, taking a break from the constant crush of suited people when Britney came crashing in. She seemed wasted, staggering a little as she walked, but still, she was beautiful and Mikey was tempted when she tilted her head and said, 'you want?'
He said no though, despite the secret crush he'd held since he saw her in that school girl outfit, he'd also seen the look in her eyes too many times.
Gabe. He'd flirted enough, but Mikey thought he was just being Gabe. It was only when he got the email, congratulating Mikey on his marriage, words formal and kinda final, that he realised what he'd given up.
Frankie. If they'd got it out of their systems, maybe it wouldn't be so hard now, when temptation was always within sight.
Man, I really want to write #2 now.
