Maddening Sanity

Hello hello all you fic posting productive people putting me to shame!

There is lots to talk about and I couldn't possibly summarise it all in a single post or do a proper analysis of the Reichenbach Fall but Sherlock was so awesome even the people at work are talking about how good it was. 

\o/\o/\o/\o/

Keep going BBC - did I mention I love you and need a job?

Taken from Shelly because I am sheep-like and because it was one of the non-ouchy things I discovered on an IJ catch-up. (I will try to read fic when I have....y'know, a back-bone)

( Merlin Meme )

Sooo me I'm sure you'll agree ;)

And I can't wait for Season 4!!!

Hi all - I'm not dead, just not inflicting all my moaning on IJ! I doubt anyone wants to hear it and frankly, I'm sick of thinking about it. In fact, I plan to give up on thinking entirely.

Thus I watched Torchwood last night.

*facepalm* Please, please tell me....why did I do this?!

Those of you on Twitter will have had play-by-play agony (Pet got even more, so pitty her you guys) but here's what you missed...or didn't miss....Here's what you very wisely avoided. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FAB!

I hope you have a really really awesome day.  I would, of course, have sat and diligently made you something really awesome that would have rocked your world because I am just so great like that but...

It's time for some random, updateyness!

( So what's up? )

*mwah*

(oh and also - Drabble day was AWESOME! Thanks to Lil and Aldi for all the hard work organising it and to everyone who took part, it was great fun drabbling with you!)

Happy Birthday Mirona!!!

 

So I might be a year late but I have fic for you at last sweetie!

 

Title: Finding Faith
Fandom/Characters/Pairings: Supernatural: Dean, Castiel, Jimmy, the Novaks.

Word Count: 1, 614 (yeah, couldn’t I find just one more word?)

Rating: PG-13
Summary: A kid called Jimmy starts hearing things; he should find this more disturbing but if you can walk through fire unharmed it must mean something.

 

Supernatural: Finding Faith

 

Now to get my iron cake slice and cut into this ;)

I hope you have a lovely day honey! *mwah*

Happy Birthday Momo!

I hope your birthday continues as it started!  I thought this the best time to share with you the icons I've been working on for us *G*

( *pulls you into the top-secret The Professionals club-house* )

Welcome, welcome!  Let’s all congregate on the village green and have a look at what we have planned.  Do remember this is a British Village Fete so you should probably have something warm on and a pair of wellies at hand (it also means you probably won’t get even half of my tenuous connections).  The WI have set up a few stalls to keep you entertained but if you don’t contribute it’ll all be for nothing so get stuck in, talk, discuss, hell you can even argue if you want, just be sure to add your voice to the choir.

 

Everything will be up and active for the week, at the end of which we’ll have the awards ceremony and a general patting each other on the back.

The First Event on the Eskimo Village Green will be the Mini Icon Challenge



On your marks...

Get Set

(props to the person in etsy who made this and whose name I can't find, damn my poor notes.  If you made or know who did, this wave a hand so I can celebrate your faboo skills because yeah - my living room needs bunting like this!)

I had to steal my braintwin's icon to fully convey my feelings at this time you guys.

(and I just made myself sadface because you'll think this is about a job and it's not)

But OMG, there was news on the radio and I have been reading articles between typing letters and well....hold on to your hats.

Momo - you will want to see this! 
(everyone else may roll their eyes and shake their heads at me but IDC - at least there is pretty to look at). 

*pft* I am so insulted - my pizza and I are taking the tray bake and leaving in a marked manner.

TBH I wasn't going to post but *points* lookit how boring good I am, I didn't get ONE "very high" - I'm insulted.

So I'm wrapping up my time at work and being in a different position in this office is weird - I had a startling revelation at lunch today that I no longer need to "aggressively" (in as much as I get aggresive) defend my position within the group dynamic anymore.  

Yes folks, that's how I think.

But today my consultant gave me another thank you card/going away present!!!  It's another book token in a time of self denial *happy dances* but omggggg I'm all torn up over if she remembers giving me the other one (it was just before her wedding so forgetting is possible!) and explaining the 'I felt too awkward still being here to do a proper thank you' because I was going to...STILL AM!  And/or look ungrateful for what is a bigger gift than before (she's nearly equalled the last leaving gift I got all on her own and I was shocked/flattered with that!) by questioning it (gift horses and all).

But that's my issue to deal with, I don't expect advice on that (unless you've got some and then I'll take it!) What I really need help with (because I am poor/saving *weeps selfishly*) is some recipe advice!!!  I want to make her a nice little treat because....well, because that's what I do!  But I'm also very conscious that I make reeeeeally sweet stuff and she's being very good watching her weight ATM and I don't want it to be a big insult of  'eat this and guilt over the calories'  - nor a 'cheers for all the cash, bu-bye' /nothing.

Soooooo - the hunt begins today for a nice home made treat I can make that's low(er) in calories but still a nice, yummy thank you present.  If you have advice/recommendations I would cuddle it to my bossom gratefully.

I feel like rambling and thinking out loud as it where.  You might like to read if you're curious about why I'm being all mopey on Twitter and why I'm dangerous to rely upon ATM.  You might like to avoid this if you're clinging to your sanity by a thread.

 

Hello Darlings!  I have tried my hand at something new because I'm in a funny mood, I'll post it properly on No7 but here you go!

Title: Good Enough
Fandom: AWZ
Characters: Jennifer Steinkamp
Rating: General
Medium: GIMP
Warnings/Spoilers: None
Creator’s Notes:  I had this notion to create something visual about Jenny when she was going through all her problems with Marian, her family and the general fail that surrounds her.  The song Good Enough by Darren Hayes seems to sum up for me (and in this video he gives a brilliant introduction) what Jenny needed.  Hopefully this shows some of the confidence and strength I thought was in Jenny.

Transparency:  Because I am all about the BBC and clarity etc I used a picture from this site to get the girl’s outline and then essentially coloured her in because the process of drawing an outline by hand and then getting it to GIMP in a form that wouldn’t drive me nuts would have broken my brain. 

Be gentle, I’m new to this. 

First: Work has been hectic this week!  Not the usual, it sucks to be here but two of the other secretaries have been off on holiday and although they are the bitchiest ones on the office I can't be really happy about this, because only one doctor is off.  We've also got Mrs Phasing-back-in-after-ever-mental-health-episode who still has issues and needs a lot of hand-holding.  Mrs Office-Manager-who-can't-handle-her-job also didn't tell the consultant she works for she had a holiday....did I mention he's on call?

This has left me with two Mrs Nice-but-a-bit-dims and a headache thiiiiiiis big.

Anyway - lots of stupid questions, lots of complaining and fretting and being loud and *sigh*…I’ll shut up.

TL:DR = I haven't read any of the fic on IJ this week *sadfaces* but I WILL.

I'm stealing Shelly's meme because I like lying hit my head today* so now I have fake Amnesia and need you to fill in the gaps for me. 



I would like all my LJ IJ friends to comment about how you got to know me. But I want you to LIE. That's right. Just make it up. If you'd like, copy this to your journal so others can do the same.

* I really did and I feel like a bloody idiot for doing it and my head hurts, I need more ibuprofen.

Once upon a time there was a naughty girl called Hannah, who went to see a movie called Black Swan.

Hannah did what every good little girl does and shared her thoughts about it on Twitter. Thus my innocent mind and my dearest wifey were exposed to the term "Danger wank" (Look it up if you similarly uninformed).


So our conversation went a little like this- (copied directly from Skype y'know)

Pet: Hahaha - see Hannah on Twitter!

Me: O.O I am shocked, you can't say things like that on Twitter.

Pet: I'm sure Dean is a master of the Danger Wank ;)

Me: Well, Dean is often in extremely dangerous circumstances but...

Pet: Thinking about Cas!!!

Me: *stunned* Castiel is an angel of the lord!

Pet: Shup - I demand you write pron on this

Me: Petra! I couldn't possible write something that...

Pet: Do eeeeeeeeeet


*sniffles* Peer Pressure darlings, this is what it looks like.

I managed to salvage some artistic merit with the idea that we could write the same event from the two different (character) viewpoints. This is the result -


Pet's View

My View


(BTW - totes "R" rated because you know what that filthy Petra's like! The divvying up of the characters says it all really 0:) !!!)
