turpsYesterday I discovered that my BBB was actually about 1.5k shorter than I thought it was. I know why, when I first started writing this way back when I got horribly blocked, and then ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
arsenicjade helped me get past those issues and plot out what would actually happen. Which led to a story on the same theme but with things happening in a very different way. Apparently I started writing again, leaving the beginnings of the first story way at the bottom of the file and then forgot about it until yesterday, when I scrolled down and was all, the fuck?! Also, a ♥ has to go right here for Arsenic who's made my morning for two days in a row now.
I should wip amnesty that unneeded ficbit off, except if I do that it's going to indicate what I'm actually writing for BBB, not that my summary is going to be particularly anonymous if you know what I like. But yeah, after some pathetic moaning on my part, writing is back on track thank goodness.

mikeyway_daily has had a lot more people posting lately, which is awesome because it means I get to come online and find pictures like this. Then I got to watch the actual interview and oh my goodness. How much did I love it? A lot. Mikey remains ridiculously pretty and Ray hot and their geeky talk left me with heart eyes. Though I did want to see all of the bus, and eat that toblerone. Their rock star lifestyles, watching movies, printing out duck hunt posters, eating chocolate and playing Uno. They'd fit into any fannish gathering anywhere easily.
I've been listening to Vices and Virtues, and liking it a lot. Also, the new Rise Against record and Summer Time by Black Cards. It's been a good new music few days.
It's no secret that I like pictures, looking at them, saving them, sharing my favourites. Which is why I love tumblr so much, but sometimes it throws up something like
James started his new job this week and has been enjoying it so far. Though it's taking some getting used to in terms of the journey there. It's not that far away, maybe a half hour drive if the roads are clear. The problem is the route he needs to take is the busiest one possible around here, and as his training starts at nine he's hitting the rush hour. His first day he left at half seven and didn't arrive until minutes before nine. So yesterday he left at seven and ended up missing the rush hour traffic, meaning he was there far too early. It's his friend's funeral today, but unfortunately he can't get the time off. James wants me to say thank you to everyone who passed on their condolences when I mentioned it before. He does stay logged into his own LJ and read all the messages, but is very much a lurker.
In happier news, last time I was at Sunderland I noticed a Lush shop is opening \o/ Or maybe that should be /o\ considering all my spare money will now be spent on amazing bath and pampering goodies.
And now I'm going to go reactivate my extra icons, because I went to use my bird's nest Mikey icon this morning and couldn't. I can manage without the others but that's unacceptable!

Not being able to use one's favourite icons is a terrible thing!

Date: 2011-03-16 05:57 pm (UTC)OMG what have you done to me! I can't stop looking even thought I don't want too!
I miss LUSH. Yes I do. When I was still with the ex I made him go buy me stuff from there every month. Hm, maybe I should held on to him just for that... nah. *lol*
no subject
Date: 2011-03-24 03:06 pm (UTC)It's such a weird picture! And now I have to look at it again.
The new Lush opened today! Sadly it won't be until the weekend I get to go, but soon.
You should get some delivered, spoil yourself.

I'd read the hell out of that. Have you read

Date: 2011-03-24 03:13 pm (UTC)Well, I could do that. Except I'm already planning a special trip to go check out the shop on Saturday.
It is! But I got my extra pictures again \o/

Happy to hear you're writing! Surely 1.5k will be written quickly, in the grand scheme of things!

Date: 2011-03-16 02:33 pm (UTC)Yeah, after some coddling I've started to get back into my groove. If slowly right now. Once Corey gets in and is fed I'll get back to tormenting people *g*

Date: 2011-03-16 03:19 pm (UTC)As long as we're sharing tales of woe, I just realized, after finishing the final 10 minutes of editing on my podfic - the one I had to re-record 30 minutes of yesterday /o\ - that although Audacity had recuperated the file after my computer shut down unexpectedly last night as I was editing it (/o\ /o\), it hadn't saved my edits. So instead of being done, I have 40 minutes to go through. Again. /o\ /o\ /o\
We'll prevail, though!!

Date: 2011-03-16 03:26 pm (UTC)And I'm glad James likes his new job! And yay for the Lush shop: pampering yourself is going to feel so gooood! (I'm not helping, am I? lol)
no subject
Date: 2011-03-16 03:43 pm (UTC)omg that picture. i can't even...i don't know. i can't look away although it makes something in my yell and scream and moan and roll around....
lush! omg so evil! i was waiting for my parents at the liverpool street station in london on friday. before i knew it i had a bag full of lush stuff oO the sales assistants always make you feel like "you DESERVE this, okay? here take it, really, you deserve it. relax. pamper yourself"

Date: 2011-03-16 05:35 pm (UTC)Somehow I have a feeling that when all is said and done, the extra 1.5k won't be at all an issue. I mean, I doubt you'll be that close to the wire with wordcount. That being said, that must have been an irritating discovery, and I sympathize.
Yay for new employment! And yay for him liking it! Rush hour traffic is a nightmare though. I always loved my night shifts for that very reason, and still try to run all my errands in the middle of the night if possible. I hate daytime traffic.

I'm glad James is enjoying his new job. That's awesome. Shame about the rush hour commute, though.

Bodyswap. I like this idea!
He is enjoying it, yeah. Though he keeps hitting me with medical info as he's learning.

Yeah,you're right. I did get past that loss pretty easy. Still, I grumbled about it for a while.

Date: 2011-03-29 05:01 pm (UTC)The picture is just wrong. They need to be their usual awesome selves.
Yes! That's exactly how the Lush assistants behave. That's how I ended up with a solid perfume when I had no intention of buying one last time I was there.
no subject
Date: 2011-03-29 05:02 pm (UTC)The Lush shop is open. I was so happy :D
