I just...discovered something funny today. I write fanfic. I'm not ashamed of it, and I write often, even in school (but I keep it to the PG stuff in school). My best friend has been very iffy about that. "But...why?" So I educated her. Merlin, Doctor Who...then I realised I wasn't getting through to her. So I switched to Stargate Atlantis, Harry Potter (being *very* careful...) and Discworld. She absolutely loves the respective books/shows, so it's easier to get through to her that way.
Success! She understood, even though I had to be very delicate with slash.
"Can I read some of your Merlin fanfic?"
"Um...no."
"Why not? You're a good writer."
"Because it's Arthur...and- Merlin."
"Oh God, why would you do that?" (I'm not exaggerating, she was that appalled! I don't know why, she knows I ship M/A)
"...you don't watch Merlin. You don't KNOW."
She's morally opposed to slash, (teh gay in general, but anyways) so is strictly het-shipping...takes all the fun out of it. Anyway, I found out today that she got plot bunnies for Discworld, so she's writing in that fandom. I felt like a proud mother :P Not that I inspired her in any way of course, not with my allegiances. I'm pretty sure she won't do anything horrific with Mr Pratchett's behbehs. ...Pretty sure.
Hahah, my best mate is a ficcer now :3
Also, 2 hour English exam today. Ded nao thx, I was writing the whole time. I have a GCSE maths module on Friday mornin', and another 2.5 hour English Lit in the aftynoon. Nothing tomorrow and nothing on Monday. Mindless Self Indulgence on Tuesday night after my French exam, and a Biology practical all day Wednesday. -_-
I got the first half of series 1 on DVD today. Thanks to

miranda_skye's fic/fandom rants and squees, I'll sit down and watch a 'children's' show and look for slashy moments. :3 Add to that I have a boy-crush on Colin Morgan (It's only a TV show, I refuse to speculate about 'what that means' - David's gayer-than-thou attitude has seen to that. Seriously, what?)...well, I'm not sure if I'd rather do him or be him. I think it's more the latter, but hey, who knows. He works better with Bradley anyway.Also got a few Christmas gifts for mates at school, still flummoxed for a few but I'll sort it out soon enough. Was in Belfast for...um...three hours, absolutely frozen, yay. I suck at buying make-up, even after I'm told exactly what to get. Oops. And strangely instead of wanting hot chocolate, I'm craving fruit juice. I wonder what that means. 6 days til I get off for Christmas *ded*
X Factor? Feck aff. Go cry, Eoghan kid. He's probably gonna win anyway. Awk, I want the guy to do well, cos he's got so far, but I just don't...care that much. More important things to focus on, like my GCSEs, and talking about slash with Rachel.
:3
EDIT: Ohmygod ohmygod aaaaaaah! "MERLIIIIIN!" *beeg dragon rar*
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
Colin Morgan looks like Tim Wheeler when he screams :3 Also,
miranda_skye yes, many slashy momentz. Heeee :3- Mood:

I've got nothing to do, bored of revising for my last exam tomorrow (!), and I'm off on Wednesday. I have a few ideas for Torchwoodfic omg! So! I'mma write the bare bones of it over the next few days and see how it turns out on Wednesday night...I really should be getting back into the way of writing fic, I did a Cuddy fic a while back and that's the last one I remember.
I'm in a really good mood at the minute, this song makes me feel fantastic, it always reminds me of the summer. And walking. It's eight minutes and twenty two seconds of pure bliss. It's kind of an obscure song though, it only just broke the top 100 if I remember correctly. And we're done. :)

So, did that for about five hours *ded* and then went home, slobbed about, ate Chinese food, washed the dishes, then fed the animals and watched Trainspotting. Again. Nothing better to do, might as well soothe my tired ears with some Scottish accented peeps talking about heroin.
And so here I am. Just about to go t' bed, then I get myriad ideas for about three Torchwood fics, and a few new journaling ideas. Fantastic.

tired - Music:The Postal Service - We Will Become Silhouettes
In Hot Fuzz fics, I have never noticed as many times that Danny says 'Nick, I-', and then gets cut off at that precise moment by either kissing Nicholas, or Nicholas kissing him. It's odd.
Not a bad thing, but still Odd. Yes, with a capital O. And boldified.
