With friends like these...

Today I woke up at 5am, after going to sleep at 9pm last night before my crankiness caused me to reach through the internet and kill somebody. I really was this close to just snapping at my best friend so I thought I'd better call it a night. Aside from being woken up at 1.30 in the morning by my drunk sister going 'HEY FEE WHAT WAS THAT FUNNY VIDEO YOU SHOWED ME' I slept pretty well. As for Amy, she came home at 9am today hung to the over and has been vegging on the sofa all day.

Something else which has been happening all day is the rain. I'm aware that it's a stereotype that we get a great deal of rain in this country but in fact only approximately 52% of our days are overcast. I don't see it rain all day very often and the last time it did the drains backed up and we had two inches of water flooding the patio.

I have been up for eleven hours and in that time I have finished a fic, had two cups of tea, breakfast and lunch, have replied to a roleplay and cleaned out the fish tank. Interspersed with making nasty_show  think I'm a stalker because I live half an hour from her town and I'm rather pleased about the fact.

I have another pic from the dwarves of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Balin and Dwalin this time!



I can't wait to see Thorin. And Bilbo of course. And Thranduil. And Beorn. And just.. everyone in general asdfghjkl;

As for the video my sister was wanting to know the name of... that was this.



Enjoy!

Oh look, a new tag!

Almost half way through the usxuk event and still going strong! Honestly I didn't know if I'd be able to continue it and granted I have had one late entry but haro is made of awesome and I managed to slip by JUST THIS ONCE. Not that I wouldn't have posted it anyway because for some reason I'm insane and am doing a chapter fic in the middle of a community event. Well, if nothing else it'll make me keep at it.

Aside from that, I still have the two aph_fluffathon fics to write, which I don't see as being a problem in the least though neither of them are USxUK. I do keep saying I want to branch out (then I go and write 28 USxUK fics. I MAKE SO MUCH SENSE).

It's always nice to realise that the people you look up and admire to are real people too. I've been in touch with Scott Sava (writer and artist of The Dreamland Chronicles) and his wife Donna for over a year without it ever really occurring to me that Scott is rather famous in his line of work, and I just spent half an hour talking to Adriana Blake (Fall On Me) about tea of all things. Which then resulted in my getting a cup of Baroness Grey and immediately burning my mouth on it. I don't know why but people like that (admittedly I thought the same of haro and abarero before I first started chatting to the former) always seem to be something 'other', but I've experienced it with people that have added me to msn from Livejournal, when they see me as someone special and such until they realise I'm actually just like anyone else xD It's funny, isn't it.

My fish are still alive and the tank is quite easy to clean so that's alright. They both seem quite lively.

I have JUST NOW seen the new photo for the dwarves Fili and Kili in the upcoming film of The Hobbit, and I am suddenly very excited.



... Look at them. LOOK AT THEM. I AM SO EXCITED I CAN'T EVEN.

There's also Dori, Nori and Ori, and Oin and Gloin.



Not too sure about Dori's hair =P I can't wait to see the others!
