turpsHappy belated birthday ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
quatre_k. I hope it was fantastic for you ♥
It's been a busy week. Corey turned 14 on Thursday so we went out for dinner to celebrate. We hit the local carvery, roast turkey with loads of veggies and mustard gravy, nom nom nom. We also went and visited our niece who'd fallen while ice skating and broke her wrist. Which, as James had to drive her to the hospital, is why I was putting up birthday banners after midnight on Wednesday night.
James has been organising his first scout camp for this weekend so yesterday trays full of pies needed to be picked up and pans of mushy peas made and then a chocolate birthday cake for Corey picked up as well as seeing nanna. She'd turned 90 but as she's having her adults only dinner and get together today we went to see her last night. She's adorable, I love nanna so much, tactless comments and all. Happy birthday, Nanna Rosie, thank goodness you'll never read this greeting in person.
Once James and Corey were packed off to camp I got in my pjs and had a lovely evening with just me and the four foots. I'd intended to watch Leverage and then tackle my in-box because right now it's shameful with half-finished emails everywhere. What actually happened was I watched Leverage and then somehow I found myself Googling Leverage fic. I don't know how it happened, it just did! And I ended up at the Pit of Voles reading through a list of stories where Eliot ended up with pneumonia, and got shot and got beaten and all sorts of awesome things and I had stars in my eyes! But, while reading through those stories I suddenly got the urge to see if any new Greg centric CSI stories had been posted, so I tabbed to the CSI section, and found myself reading this muli-chaptered insane fic where Greg was in an abusive relationship and of course Nick saved him and there were tears and catatonic states and Greg being carried. I couldn't click each new chapter fast enough. Then when I finished that I read another Leverage story,then went back to CSI and found another insane Greg abuse story \o/
By the time I'd finished that it was well after midnight so I went to bed and slept for a solid eleven hours. Got up, had cereal for dinner and have spent the the last few hours catching up on LJ -- skip 650, ouch.
Badfic aside, I have a Leverage dilema. I'm really liking the show but am only on episode 4 of season one. I much prefer watching on TV but knowing all those other episodes are there to be downloaded is killing me. If I download season 2 will there be problems with missing info for arcs? Also, does anyone have any recs for good Leverage fic? While I'm asking for fic, does anyone know of any NCIS LA stories that are Eric centric?
My favourite meme ever is going around, the one where you have a list of characters and people give scenarios that you then explain using your characters. But man, I'm so behind on everything that I shouldn't even think about doing it. Just, favourite meme ever! There's also this.
FromfleurdeliserI officially declare this to be International Weekend of Friending The People You've Been Too Shy To Friend
Many times I've wondered about friending someone but didn't because what if they thought I was lame or stupid and didn't want me reading? This is the weekend to change that. Also, if by the very remote chance someone has been reading my journal and been afraid to friend me, go for it. I like to think I'm friendly, I like reading people's posts, I like getting to know people, I promise, I don't always talk/write about people being shot and being sick and traumatised 1.
Okay, emails now, maybe some writing before my boys come back covered in mud and starving.
1 Okay, so that may be a lie, but at least I put them back together again in the end -- mostly.
