suki_blue | Life After NaNoWriMo

Oh my god, it's so wonderful to browse LJ again. First thing tomorrow I'm going to work on a Christmas layout, and then I'm going have a major fiddle with my filters. I'm going to compress them right down because even before NaNoWriMo stole my life, it was impossible to keep up and all I achieved was looking at one or two journals while I flailed at the sheer amount people on my flist. The addition of lots of TW and Merlin friends has tipped me over the edge. Can't do! So I must make a new filter and I must be sensible and realistic about it this time. Yis. Trim time.

My Merlin DVD (Vol. 1) arrived this morning. I kissed it and then felt faintly embarrassed, even though the dog was the only one to witness it. I cannot get the last ep out of my mind. The slash just gets more and more blatant and it's at the point now that when the het finally comes, I'm going to be gutted. I've even started to convince myself that as this is such a dramatic re-telling, maybe they will make Merlin and Arthur gay.

I have been re-watching Stargate: Atlantis Season 3 (got it for my birthday). I made it to Echoes last night. I think that's my favourite ep. I love the shouting. John: WHAT? BWAHAHAHAHA!

I see the LJ notifications are still up the creak. Or is it just me?

I LOVE my cuddly Adipose and I'm terrified it will get dirty.

My HD fic, Parity Transformations just clicked over to three pages of comments. I am stupidly pleased by this.

I am addicted to John Barrowman. He rules my brain. I can't wait to see him live. Kitty and I are going to make a real occasion of it, including a bitchin' lunch and a swanky hotel. Thank god I've got seven months to plan my outfit and consider my hair.

Book-wise, I am a third of the way through the MASSIVE Mists of Avalon (another birthday present). It's wonderful! I hope to speed up a bit now that NaNo is done. I also started Twilight on the way to my sister's on Saturday. I've just got to see what the fuss (good and bad) is about. I hoped to read a nice chunk of it on the way home, but the trains from London down to Brighton were thrown into chaos on Sunday and the journey home turned into a living nightmare involving only ONE train from Victoria to Gatwick. Thank fuck I can run fast when I need to. There was also pushing and shoving and the exchange of angry words. Awful.

My sister took me to my mum's new house and we made her get her Christmas tree down from the loft so we could decorated it. I definitely felt a 'moment', doing that for the first time and so did my mum (For those of you new to this journal, I only met my mum, sisters, brother, nephew and many nieces about a year and a half ago). Best moment, though, was when my sister spotted someone outside trying to open her car door. She stood at the window, hands on hips, angry expression: "What does he think he's doing?!?!" I'm sure she would have looked quite threatening and scary if it hadn't been for the bouncy santa deely boppers on her head.

Well, I think that's all for now. I just needed to have a blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah moment and get it all out in one go. God, I've missed you, LJ ~clings~ Now I'm going to bed to watch the extras on my Merlin DVD and then some SGA.

Glad you had a good time with your sister and mum and nice to have you back &hearts

I'm so tempted to buy Merlin on DVD. Do you know if there is going to be a boxset with all the episode if so I'm holding out for that. I can have will-power!

I see the LJ notifications are still up the creak Yes I was getting email notifications and now they've stopped.

Thanks, hon! I had a wonderful time with them. I just wish I could see them more. One day.

Will power? I'm not even sure I know what that is, lol. I decided to get it just on the basis that they'll only be two volumes at £15.00 each so that's only £30 for the whole set which is much cheaper than Doctor Who. Yeah, I have weird logic.

Yes I was getting email notifications and now they've stopped.

I've just spotted a post by

accioscar who says to add the following to your contacts in your email:

lj_notify@livejournal.com
webmaster@livejournal.com

Dunno if it works yet, but she hasn't had any probs.

That doesn't seem to be the problem as I'm getting notifications now just a bit delayed.

LJ is still sucking like a $2 ho. I am getting none of my comments...

Gabrielle

Ditto. When I do get them, they are out of order and out of date. I just got some comments from, like, three days ago. Grrrr.

lj_notify@livejournal.com
webmaster@livejournal.com

Apparently if you add those to your contacts in your email, it should solve the problem. Not sure if it works yet but it's worth a go.

Hope it works!! ~huggles~

I did that right before the LJ move and...nope, not helping. But thanks anyway.

Gabrielle

Well done on completing NaNo :D

The Merlin dvd is all kinds of love, as we all knew it would be, and therefore well worth a kiss :)

And the LJ notifications thing isn't just you. Mine were fine until Saturday and I haven't had any since... I anticipate an explosion in my inbox when they finally start coming through again.

Glad to hear you're doing ok :)

Thank you!!

Yeah, I added them when LJ sent that email ages ago, but still had problems.
Although things seem to be working today... *fingers crossed*

So glad you had a lovely time with your mum and sister, hon. Pity about the crappy trip home, but I'm sure it was well worth it. *smooch*

I'll be interested to hear what you think of Twilight!

LJ notifications are well and truly on the fritz. I'm getting them, but they're taking hours and hours to come through, including the tracking notifications. *grumbles*

It was definitely worth the shitty train journey. It so could have been worse.

I'll let you know about Twilight as soon as I get around to finishing. Oooh, we can discuss it tomorrow over lunch! SQUEEEEEEEEEE!!! So far, I would say, it reads like a dark, teenage Mills and Boon. Cheesy. But strangely good.

That is exactly what is happening to me.

LOL! So far, I'd say our views aren't so different. A page-turner, well-written but kind of old-fashioned. And sparkly. ;o) Can't wait to see you tomorrow!

Ooh, thanks for passing on that info from

accioscar. Definitely worth trying.

Aww, cute idiot. *g*

I'm still waiting for my Merlin dvd to appear - amazon said it is on the way. It was hideously expensive for me but I *had* to have it, the d/ls weren't enough.

I watched Twilight movie the other day - I dunno, I might like the book better. Let me know if it sucks. ;p

Oh yes, it had to be bought!!! Totally. I hope yours arrives very soon, luv.

So far, the book isn't too bad. A bit cheesy.

Hey, congrats on the NaNoWriMo achievement! I've just ordered Mists of Avalon after being recommended it by about 5 different people - hope this will be one book I won't give up on after about 2 chapters (I keep doing that lately!)
I've even started to convince myself that as this is such a dramatic re-telling, maybe they will make Merlin and Arthur gay.
Haha! We wish. Torchwood has spoilt us, hasn't it!

Thank you!

You'll love it! It took me about twenty or so pages to get into it and it is quite heavy going, but it's a real work of art, beatiful.

Haha! We wish. Torchwood has spoilt us, hasn't it!

LOL, it has!! Damn you, Torchwood!! No, no, I don't mean that ...

LATE COMMENT ALERT! =D

this is such a dramatic re-telling, maybe they will make Merlin and Arthur gay.

Just think how many fangirls would spontaneously combust the moment that happened...
(me included probz.)

Oh, by the way, when i get my Merlin DVD at x-mas, someone will most likely have to restrain me from having a serious make-out session with it.

There would be many squees and falling down.

Hee! I'm certainly not one to judge. Enjoy and give it a kiss from me ;o)
