Happy belated birthdays to
brighton_girl,
truekat and
topaz119. I hope you all had good days ♥
All this week I've intended to post hat pictures on my days at
mikeyway_daily This hasn't actually happened, mostly because I got distracted by arms and neck and dark, flippy hair.
However, I have been thinking about his hats, because various theories about them have been put forward, most stating they're hand knitted. Obviously this means there needs to be a bandom stitch and bitch fic. It could be AU or not, it wouldn't matter. I just want to see Mikey knitting his awesome, ugly hats and Ray knitting himself a jumper and maybe Gerard thinking outside of the box by trying to make himself a boa out of pom poms.
Of course other bandom people would join in too. I'm sure Ryan would make excellent scarves and Spencer would create something intricate made of cashmere. Also, epic battles with knitting needles would happen and sleeping on huge bags full of wool.
Mini nano is still trundling on. Sometimes I get well over my goal amount of words, sometimes I barely scrape it. Like last night, when after a significant period of time in front of the file I checked and had all of 70 odd words. Still, I like what I have though I may be hitting up some of the usual suspects soon to see if it actually makes sense.
Tomorrow we were going to get more Christmas shopping, but earlier mam got a call from the Macmillan nurse saying that she needs to go see the consultant tomorrow because the biopsy she had last week still isn't telling them what they need to know. So, more hospitals tomorrow instead. Though she's adamant she won't let them admit her because she'd miss the Big Brother final.

Date: 2011-11-10 06:27 pm (UTC)She's insisting that she's not going to miss Big Brother. Of course if she has to she will stay in, but I really hope not, because you're right, hospitals are the suck.

Thank you :)

Date: 2011-11-10 06:43 pm (UTC)I loved the idea that Pete was knitting Mikey the ugly, awesome hats, but then it was suggested that he could also be knitting them himself, and my heart exploded with love.
Just as it did when I imagined Brendon crocheting cute animals. Once he got the hang of them he could make one really fast, and starts leaving them everywhere. On Spencer's kit, attached to mic stands, on people's pillows when they wake in the morning :D
It's a fabulous suggestion.

I really hope your mam won't have to stay at the hospital! *keeps fingers crossed* And good luck with your shopping. (It's too early to call it Christmas shopping!)

Date: 2011-11-10 07:17 pm (UTC)Well, I did get my 300 in the end, but it was a case of forcing them out, but yeah, I've also had 800-1000 days so it evens out in the end.
Thank you. I'm hoping she gets to come home tomorrow just so she can see the final as she really loves the show. I suspect she'll be admitted soon though, they said last time if the biopsy didn't give answers surgery was next.
Your icon reminded me. Mikey needs to have a spirit hood in his collection. If Pete and Gerard have them I'm sure Mikey does too.
Some new pics just hit tumblr. Horrible watermarks but I thought you might like this one.

Cool! Though sitting on a radiator like that can't be comfortable :-) I hope we'll get better versions of them. They must be from last autumn sometime I think, yes?

Date: 2011-11-20 05:38 pm (UTC)Yeah, late autumn hits with all their hairstyles/colour. I hope we get better versions too, the watermarks are horrible.

Date: 2011-11-10 11:21 pm (UTC)IDEK. Maybe I imagined not reading it. *g*
Sending good vibes for your Mam tomorrow.
YAY you for writing!

Date: 2011-11-11 02:14 am (UTC)T, I truly don't think anyone is complaining about the delay in the Mikeyway/ugly!hats OTP picspams. Well, not as long as lip-licking delicious photos of our Mikeyway with long hair and/or showing us his yummy shoulders and/or giving us neck!porn keep popping up. IJS.
Hmm, you know, I'm a bit surprised that there aren't any more knitting fics. Particularly as there are several fangirls who love to knit. Hmmm...
I hope everything goes well with the hospital visit. *crosses fingers for you and your mom*

Date: 2011-11-20 07:20 pm (UTC)He makes it so easy with his gorgeous everything. One day I'll do an ugly hat spam and it'll be fantastic. But until then, more flippy hair and shoulders, always!
Yeah, there should be more knitting fics. Sadly I know nothing about it apart from wool and needles are involved. My characters would be the most inept knitters ever.

Date: 2011-11-11 04:41 am (UTC)Well, yeah. I love that idea, though. *g*

Date: 2011-11-10 09:09 pm (UTC)I'm sure I've read an actual bandom knitting fic before.... I seem to think Bob owned a knitting shop? And I think there was angst about people who crocheted instead! (This is where I mourn for the passing of my proper delicious bookmarking.)

I hope the hospital visit goes as smoothly as possible. <3
