Happy birthday, 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 to wistfuljane 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? Do luxshine 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!

Top five people Mikeyway should have slept with before he got married!

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Oh, this is a list I like thinking about! I'll leave out the ones he's already slept with, like Pete ;)

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.

THIS IS AWESOME. Okay, the Hulk Hogan thing made me blink, but I can... kind of see Mikey thinking like that. So okay. And #2! So bitter and gah! And Britney, oh man, I can totally picture that scene, and Mikey being sane and honorable enough not to take advantage, although it breaks my heart to think of her like that, like how she is now. And then the subtler but still wrenching loss of Gabe! ai! And FRANK always there in front of him! I want all of these, I am so greedy, but if you're specially drawn to #2 you know I'm only going to say DOOOOOOOOOOOO EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET.
