Happy belated birthday wishes to [livejournal.com profile] raynedanser. I know you're not around, but I'll send them anyway ♥

Kayleigh seemed to stay forever yesterday. She has no internet at her house so they come over to check Facebook etc, and then camp down for hours. Which I don't actually mind, it's just the way Corey's computer is set up means it's right to the side of mine, and while Kay knows that I'm fannish and write, it's off-putting to have her read and recite what you're doing. Which she'd do because she's annoying like that.

Still, I got my revenge by posting a very unflattering picture on her facebook wall. Which she freaked at, big time. I did delete it though; eventually.

She worries me a lot. Living at the club as she did means she's got few day to day living skills. She's always penniless and the club have cut her hours to 15. She does things like put the heating on so she's warm when she leaves the front door open for the cats and despite having to borrow money for cat food was phoning around yesterday for a puppy.

Mam's being driven insane with worry about her, which is bad as mam's not well either. She finally went to the doctors on Monday, and she has a lung and chest infection. She's on steroids at the moment, but at least they're making her eat.

Anyway, by the time Kay had gone it was time for James to come home from work and I got nothing done. Which included some linking I'd meant to do, because Josh has posted another of the Mutant X virtual season episodes, and as always it's made of awesome! They just keep getting better, and it remains one of the best gifts ever. Episode 7

I posted edition 90 of [livejournal.com profile] pop_newsletter on Monday. I really don't know where the time goes. I'm so proud of that comm, and [livejournal.com profile] wistfuljane is doing an amazing job of the attached delicious. Sometimes I think it could be better, but the things I do miss are things I just don't see.

Bob in Spaaaace! is now over 23k words long. When I joined the wip comm I said it should be finished in 20k, now I suspect it'll be over 30. I'm on a roll at the moment, so the first draft may be done by the end of the week. At which point I'll head off for [livejournal.com profile] connotations and worry what my betas think. Sadly, I've also decided it can't be called Bob in Spaaaace! when I post, which breaks my heart, but I'd hate people to think they're getting some light-hearted muppet story, when this isn't at all.

To end. I've been enjoying this picture.

You are made of awesome!

(And it really worries me when people who can't afford it keep seeming to want more pets. The animals will suffer in the long run. Boo.)

I'm surrounded by awesome people, is what it is.

Yeah, I fully agree. Kay loves her cats, but she can't seem to see that adding a dog to the mix means much more pet bills. Inoculations, food, so much you need to budget for.

How's things today? Still on a BSB high?

I'm so sorry you've got all these worries about your family. Wouldn't life be easier if we could pick people up and shake them into shape? Still, you have an array of tiny little bottoms, which is obviously some consolation.

Families really need to just do what's expected of them.

But yes, I have bottoms to oogle, and Lance to watch. So that's of the good.

There's a sad lack of nicely shaped bottoms in my new fandom. I miss the Bass Ass!

Bob In SPAAAACE, yay!

You should do an estimate of how much money you spent on Tex, and give that to you sister. Maybe seeing it written down in black and white would help her.

You'll have to say hi to people at Connotations for me. Maybe I'll be there next year.

Bob in Spaaaaace continues to make me blink at how well it's going. I know it's got really rough patches, but at least the words are there. And don't seem to want to stop.

I felt like shaking her last night. She just doesn't get it and a dog is the last thing she needs. As well as the cost they're a tie, needing walks and company if you go away for even a day.

I will do. You'll be a miss.

I hope your mother gets better soon. (AND that your sister realises that a dog is ten times more expensive and time consuming to keep than a cat!)

Bob in Spaaace!!!! *flails like Kermit*

That picture is so adorable! Except that it vexes me that I can't really figure out who's who - why do they all have to look so alike from behind?!! Mikey is easy of course, and it's possibly Ray in the middle because I think I see hair and for some reason I feel like it's Gerard to the right of Mikey, but the other three? Not the faintest clue! *grumbles*

Honestly, families keep you worrying at all times.

Bob in Spaaaace! I want to keep the title so badly, but I have to be sensible.

You've got the three I'm pretty sure about. Mikey is 100% sure, and Gerard tends to wear that jacket, and Ray has the hair and thighs. The others though. I think it may be Bob next to Mikey, but I couldn't be sure.

***Hugs***

family is so hard, especially when you can't do anything (at least until K asks for advice) - well - apart from telling her over and over how expensive dogs are.

But Bob! in Space! and a draft for me to love and hug and call George beta over the weekend, you say?

Family is hard, and sometimes I could rattle Kayleigh and tell her to wake up. It's like, James took her to Asda after work a few days ago. We tend to go late so we get the bargains, like good bread reduced to 10p. Anyway, they were selling stuff off and Kay wanted buns, but she wouldn't have the reduced ones. And if you've got little money you have to budget, and she's not getting that yet.

Hopefully yes. You know, I never offered you an invite to the doc. At least, I can't remember doing so. You're more than welcome to read if you like. I have one section to go, but also need to pack for us and Corey's scout camp at one point. So I'll see how it goes.

Random fact: the guy who took that picture of MCR is a friend of mine and every time I see him I have to stifle the urge to beg him for the full size version of it and the others from that photoshoot. And any out takes that there might be. Thus far I have been good and not done so, I fear what will happen if I see him when I'm drunk. /o\
