turpsAs it still hasn't stopped snowing Corey's school was closed today, which he was very happy about.
But I wasn't happy when we went to pick up nanna to take her to the doctors and realised that there was no way our car was going to get off the estate. Snow measured in feet and an untouched road meant we got as far as the corner and had to turn back. Or more accurately, spin back, where the car got abandoned away from it's usual parking spot. So nanna cancelled her appointment and I hit the shops with James on foot. Which wasn't that bad at all, the snow is deep but looked pretty and I was all wrapped up, except for my feet which were freezing. But, what's annoying is a parcel got delivered on Friday and we weren't in. So, clutching the card today I went to the post office, only to be told my parcel had been left in the mail holder on my estate, and the post vans couldn't get up the hill to pick it up so redelivery or pick up could be arranged. So my parcel is right there but I can't get to it. Goodness knows when the vans will be able to get up either.
I am the most complain-ey, I know this.
I'm still very much on a Frank/Mikey kick, though even though some of you are enablers, I won't be pushing my WIPs aside and starting something new at this point. Especially as those WIPs are coming on nicely. Mainly due to mini_nano I've managed to get my 300 words at least in every day this month, even though sometimes it was a struggle, and I'm happy it looks like I'm going to finish the month on a satisfied note.
Man, now it's thundering and lightening while snowing. The hell weather?
Okay, plan for the evening includes coffee and a recently posted fic that may be very relevant to my interests.

Date: 2010-11-29 07:45 pm (UTC)That's too bad, both about you not getting out with your car and the post having left YOUR PARCEL in such a stupid spot!
(It snowed all day yesterday here, but today it was gloriously sunny. So while the wind was biting and the roads slippery even after having been plowed, we still went for a walk because it was just too beautiful to stay indoors.)
It wasn't me!!! I have never knowlingly enabled Frank/Mikey!
You totally rock the mini_nano!
*boggles* It's been years and years and years since that happened last. Thunder and lighting in the winter is just WRONG!
I hope the recently posted story will live up to your expectations. (There was TWO great Korse/Gerard fics posted last week. So happymaking!)

Date: 2010-11-30 09:00 am (UTC)I'm so annoyed about my parcel. I want it in my hands. I want to know what it is!
I don't blame you for taking a walk. I actually enjoyed ours when we were out. The snow can be so beautiful. I just wish the council knew how to actually manage it.
Ahahahaha. I know it wasn't you. But you're saying you wouldn't read Mikey/Frank Killjoys in Space?
Thank you :D
I was reading up about thunder and lightening during snow and it seems it is very rare. Hopefully that's it for many years.
It did! It was by Arsenic so I knew it would.
no subject
Date: 2010-11-30 02:46 pm (UTC)Oh yes, I saw that she'd posted something. I ought to have realised that was what you meant - it sounded made for you ;-D
no subject
Date: 2010-11-29 07:25 pm (UTC)I am in SUCH a Mikey/Frank place right now too! I wish there was more to read. Glad you're into it (and writing?) too! :D
no subject
Date: 2010-11-29 07:35 pm (UTC)Mikey/Frank is my favourite pairing! I always laugh at myself because you'd never think so from what I post, but yeah. So much love. I want roomie BFF fic and fic with them chilling on the tour buses and talking about home and fic where the do filthy things to each other and fic where they watch movies and fic where Frank has to sit and watch as Mikey goes down the same destructive path as Gerard but knows he can't do a thing to stop it.
I want all the Frank/Mikey fic in the world, really!
But no, I'm writing MCR gsf and Mikey/Pete/Jon, Ryan/Spencer at the moment. No Mikey/Frank at all :(
no subject
Date: 2010-11-29 07:56 pm (UTC)Reeeaaally? I am NOT COMPLAINING that you are writing GSF :D But maybe you should do a Frank/Mikey rec list! So we can all roll around in what's out there and write more!
no subject
Date: 2010-11-29 10:06 pm (UTC)I think I will do a Frank/Mikey rec list. I've been looking at my delicious and will attempt to make some kind of actual list tomorrow :)
no subject
Date: 2010-11-29 07:37 pm (UTC)But, snow makes everything worse, imho. Shoveling and shut inside, it all sucks.
Mikey/Frank is of the win!! You should totally abandon your WIPs and write Mikey/Frank Killjoys in Space! Not that I am totally pushing for it for my own evil purposes or anything. *g*
You did so well this month. I'm lucky if I wrote half the days, although I just wrote today- 700 words on my Due South Secret Santa. I feel virtuous now. *G*
no subject
Date: 2010-11-29 08:27 pm (UTC)Then we went to the local supermarket and the shelves were bare. No milk to be had, no potatoes or fresh vegetables or much fruit. I'm going to get scurvy and die!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Don't say that! You had me thinking about that the other day. How they'd have their own decorated space bikes and how Mikey would take his karate to the next level. Mega jumps and kicks! Spins in the air! And he and Frank would go zooming through space on one bike, music blasting and singing along, Frank's arms wrapped around Mikey's waist.
You should feel virtuous. That's awesome. I'm very happy with how both stories have gone. Though as I've just told you, it's about time I got some s in my gsf.
no subject
Date: 2010-11-29 08:57 pm (UTC)Oh, man! I have to go shopping tonight too. need more cat food. *g*
Oh, wow! You have the best ideas! We need that story STAT!!
I'm glad you are happy with your stories. That is the best feeling.
no subject
Date: 2010-11-29 10:34 pm (UTC)That story would be amazing! A Mikey/Frank zero gravity sparring scene would be glorious.

oh frank/mikey, they are so perfect...they can be movie dorks together or they can be all angry-and-misunderstood-kobra-kid vs i'm-so-cool-chuck-norris-has-posters-of-me-on-his-wall-fun-ghoul...

Date: 2010-11-29 08:11 pm (UTC)a recently posted fic that may be very relevant to my interests
Huh, whichever fic could that be?! :D
I read it earlier today and OMG SO GOOD!!! Yes, I do like to state the obvious ;) .
no subject
Date: 2010-11-29 08:45 pm (UTC)You know what fic I mean? I am shocked!
I am so excited about reading, Saba! It's been my reward today.
no subject
Date: 2010-11-29 09:27 pm (UTC)I hope you get your parcel soon. Sounds like me and my CD, which took nearly a week to arrive after posting! So near and yet so far...
no subject
Date: 2010-11-29 09:57 pm (UTC)I'm annoyed about my parcel. But like I told the guy, I get why they can't deliver.
no subject
Date: 2010-11-29 09:38 pm (UTC)But in less selfish news: stay warm! and I hope you get your parcel soon.
I am torn between wanting to (further) enable some Frank/Mikey and wanting you to finish your WIPs so I can read them!
no subject
Date: 2010-11-29 09:46 pm (UTC)I'm most annoyed at my parcel to be honest. The box where the postie leaves the parcels they can't carry is at the top of my street. So close and yet not in my hands.
You're a terrible enabler. You and Sperrywink. I'm going to end up with Killjoys in Space and it'll be all due to you two.
But my WIPs /o\ I don't suppose you want to cast your eyes over the killjoys wip? I'm a little stuck plot wise.
I'll now go and gaze at your icon for a while.
no subject
Date: 2010-11-29 09:57 pm (UTC)I too would be annoyed if it were my parcel. In fact I would probably have attempted to break into the box by now.
Killjoys in Space! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaant!
But for now I will totally make do with Killjoys in the desert - send it on over and I will happily cast eyes all over it. I am making grabby hands at my laptop, just so you know.
And I will use it again because it's so pretty.
no subject
Date: 2010-11-29 10:42 pm (UTC)But more important. Heating! Now I don't have to worry about you being an ice cube. Yes. Plan for Wednesday being a snow day.
Don't put ideas like that into my head *g*
Killjoys in Space would be awesome! I know it's insane, but I can't stop imagining them with their own personal space bikes, all colourful and covered in stickers.
I'm sending it now. The most ridiculously indulgent story ever. It's good that you know me otherwise I'd have shame.
It's beautiful.
no subject
Date: 2010-11-29 11:52 pm (UTC)Re: Frank/Mikey, I just don't understand why there aren't ten million fics about them living together. Come on people, it's CANON! I also like Frank/Mikey friendship fics, and especially h/c fics, but strangely, I'd like a fic in which Mikey is the one who gives comfort to Frank, not the other way around.

Date: 2010-11-30 08:49 am (UTC)Corey has another snow day today, but while the school sent a message at midnight I'd gone to bed early. I could have had a lie in. *shakes fist*
no subject
Date: 2010-11-30 02:45 am (UTC)I need to get on writing more Mikey/Frank I'm sure Moon Verse wants it's sequel soon enough(even though ok that's probably going to turn into a fivesome anyways and not just Mikey/Frank...so it might not count)
and dude lightening and thundering during a snow storm is actually kind of nifty....I've only seen it happen once and boy was it pretty and weird and cool(to me:D)
no subject
Date: 2010-11-30 08:50 am (UTC)Of course it counts! That thrills me so muchg.
Yeah, it was cool to see, the lightening was all blue and crazy. But also, weird.
no subject
Date: 2010-11-30 07:13 pm (UTC)YAYYYYYYYSSSSSS(I'm trying to decide if I want to write the sequel for bbb because I think I can get 20k out of it...while I'm pretty sure I can only get 10k out of FBI Verse prequel)
Pretty and Weird...the best combinations :D

Date: 2010-12-01 11:08 am (UTC)Also, sorry to hear that your weather is doing horribly. The british girl i'm talking to right now is all \o/ calling in 'trapped in the house' for work, and thus I have given her danger days and we are having an internet listening party. It's lovely.
no subject
Date: 2010-12-01 02:01 pm (UTC)The weather sucks. We nearly had to be towed back onto the estate by a forklift truck this morning. A DD listeningf party sounds ideal :D
