boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew

Things that make me happy:

- Watching Nick Griffin get thoroughly pwned on Question Time last night.

- I was peeling potatoes for dinner last night when I suddenly remembered the existence of Taters! I still remember lazy_daze playing it to me for the first time and being like "yeah, okay, whatever" and then dying with laughter when the beat kicked in. XD

- These screencaps of the Kaya interview that got taken down. (Because of spoilers, apparently? I didn't think there was anything spoilery about it and I'm quite a spoilerphobe.) I keep clicking through and just dying at her expressions all over again. Gahhh, I love her so much! ♥

- I've been watching Mercy and really enjoying it! Even if I do get the Duffy song in my head every time I think about it. I wasn't that fussed about the first episode but I'm really glad I gave it a second try, because I like it a lot. Mostly because all the women are really pretty and I am very shallow, but for other reasons too!


Things that make me sad:

- My parents have sold our house and we're moving. Like, REALLY soon. And I know the plan is for me to move out of my parents' house as soon as I can anyway, but I've lived here all my life (bar university) and I'm still so, so sadfacey about having to say goodbye to this place. :(

- I haven't done any proper writing in AGES, or at least it feels like it. I have about half of my NaNo fic planned out and I've been picking at the 80s AU (which I REALLY need to finish, because I don't want it to languish until December) but I haven't been ~inspired to do some real writing for a couple of weeks now. I ought to get back into the habit before NaNo starts. Maybe I should go troll the Free-For-All post for Skins prompts I might have missed? Hmm.

- I would really love there to be a Skins holiday fic exchange, but I haven't heard any plans for one? Not that I need any more writing commitments, but I think it would be fun. I don't think I really have the time to run one myself, but if someone else wanted to I'd definitely sign up. HINT, HINT.

Dude, after stalking Lisa on twitter and hearing all about this Nick Griffin chap I watched the whole thing on youtube. Magnificent. You really need unfiltered debate like this to test and dismember vile views like the ones propagated by the BNP. Bad ideas can be trumped by good honest debate. Good for the BBC for giving the BNP the platform to humiliate themselves.


There was nothing spoilery about the videos. Except maybe Freffy is still on for season four (although most would have assumed that). I guess it's just E4 being mortified this got leaked.


Sorry about the move, dude. You'll always retain an affection for your old house, but you wouldn't really want to stay there forever. This could be seen constructive! *nods*

UM, by virtue of being first, can I suggest something to get you out of your funk? Ummmmm. Shit, now I have to think of something. Well, lol, I would be down with some Katie/JJ (think of the challenge! It can be romantic or just as mates, but you know where my love lies) and if not...Naomi/Emily. Doing something silly. I love how you write them. I know you did a massive story for about them, and I can't think of any Naomily moment that tops their little adventure to London (Battlesea! Aw). Something fluffy with a tiny undercurrent of angst. It's exam time right now and I would like distraction/comfort, please.

(Feel free to ask for fic prompts anytime)

YOU CAN'T MOVE! Or at least Sam and I have to somehow see the house before you do :(((((( I feel like I partly live there too :( WEIRD. I spose it's a bit like when we moved out of Portland Road but with an added 8/9 years.

How about Emily and Naomi go on holiday and Emily drags Katie with them? I always love a bit of Katie/Naomi bitching :)

And, yes, your fic for the littlebigbang was amazing. So, yes. More fic please!

I really need to go see what Lisa's been on about on twitter... sounds like she's got something interesting to say!

Oh, I'd been thinking about a holiday fic exchange for Skins. I'll put the idea out there and see if a sufficient number of people are interested?

which I REALLY need to finish

UM YES

:D :D :D It makes me so happy to hear you're watching Mercy. I felt mostly all alone in the world with my love for that show, sigh.
