I recently spent a week in Brisbane housesitting for my aunt and uncle, and I just finally got around to uploading a couple of videos of the furry monsters I had to look after;

Xena



and Baci



( Play time )

Hello there, HELLO, how are you?

One more night of housesitting and then I'm done! I'm sure I'll be whinging in a week about how I need to get away but seriously, I miss my own bed more than what I feel is natural.

I was going to make this into a proper entry but I'm tired (I have no recollection of my alarm actually going off this morning which means I turned it off while I was still TECHNICALLY SLEEPING) and the cleaner is here talking my head off (you are lovely, dear, but I am not a conversationalist), so I'll just skip to the important stuff: pimping.

I don't know if I properly thanked those people who left me recs and whatnot when I was feeling all wah-everybody-hates-me the other week, so THANK YOU, YOU WONDERFUL HUMAN BEINGS. wholly_crepe, owner of my heart, soul and a fabulous username, actually wrote me comment fic where Gwaine is a sly fellow who wants Merlin and Arthur to live in GAY LOVE forever. AND THEY DO. GO READ IT NOW or suffer the unfortunate state of being that is before you knew that yeah, duh, of course Gwaine totally does yoga, how did I not think of that before?

And then, in the early hours of this morning, I had the pleasure of doing beta work on the short fic Oh Fine Thing, We'll Matter Tomorrow by lemniciate aka kelene aka writer of one of my most favourite Merlin rps fics EVER (Your Movements are Irregular (But My Gravity is Constant)). Go read it and love it, it is fabulous!

And dude, l-o-l, in linking that I totally just noticed the tag +campaign for badass colin activate! and YES. F-list, we have decided there needs to be more fic in which Colin wields a weapon, wears a sharp suit and maybe even drives a really hot car, so, you know, get on that, guys. Badass!Colin is sorely needed for Bradley's pleasure.

See you guys on Merlin day ♥

Linking you, because I don't even want to attempt embedding on my iPod, to this awesome Bradley interview. I love the words that escape out of his mouth, I really do.

In other news, home tomorrow for another week, thank fuck; for one, I've been sick the last couple of days and really just want to curl up in my own bed and two, I'll be able to watch new Merlin. Citizens not of the UK, how do you plan on watching - streaming live or downloading later? Streaming is always a bitch and it means getting up at some ridiculous time in the am but on the other hand, I suspect I'll miss out on a lot of the squee if I wait around for someone to upload. Dilemmas!

Housesitting officially starts today, eight weeks baby! Though I'll be fairly evenly spread between my aunt's house and my own by the sound of it, like next week when I'm home for the entire working week, but just a heads up anyway. The house has a computer and all but I'll most likely only be using my iPod, so you'll either not hear very much from me in the way of comments because typing on the iPod is fucking hard labour, or you'll be hearing a little too much from me because there is shit-all to do. Apologies in advance for both instances.

ONE YEAR SMOKE FREE! I'd been smoking since 2000 and never actually thought I could quit successfully, at the most I think I was just hoping to cut down, but pfft, it was so much easier than I'd ever imagined. I should go create a tumblr called fuck yeah me, because seriously. FUCK YEAH ME!

Ever since I posted that Men In Tights gif the other day, I've been mentally casting Merlin characters into that film, mostly, if I'm honest, because I want to see Leon as Little John (Don't let my name fool you. In real life, I'm veeeery big). And if we were going for the slash version, which, come on, it's ME, of course we are; Arthur would have to be Robin Hood because he's blonde and dashing (and unlike some other Robin Hoods, he can speak with an English accent); which means Merlin would be Maid Marian (I must warn you - it could only be a kiss. For I am a virgin and could never...go all the way. Unless I were married. Or if a man pledged his endless love to me. Or if I knew that he desperately cared for me. Or if he were really cute!) and Gaius would be his maidservant, Broomhilde, who's always cockblocking Marian!Merlin (NO DING DING WITHOUT A WEDDING RING). Lancelot would of course be Will Scarlet because of the HAIR and Gawain would be Achoo because I suspect he's snarky and I never really got around to casting the girls but I suppose Morgana could be the witch, Latrine (Raven's egg, blood of a hen! A little more blood, yes! Eyeballs of a crocodile, testicles of a newt...I guess he's a transsexual now.) which OH OH OH means Alvarr could be the Sheriff of Rottingham because Latrine!Morgana totes has a thing for him and he already has the beard going on. So Gwen could be...Blinkin? IDK IDK, holes, but ahhh. The things that amuse my mind.

A very, very early happy birthday to paenteom because I won't be here on the actual day. I hope you have a fabulous time, sweetheart!

And, er, that's it I think. Stay safe kiddies! TWOISH MORE WEEKS UNTIL NEW MERLIN, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Stolen from a_shadow_there. I'm gonna add some questions to this too, 18 is just a weird number. Song you listen to when you're in love? Song you listen to when you're feeling sexy? Any other ideas?

Day 01 - Your favorite song
Day 02 - A song that makes you happy
Day 03 - A song that makes you sad
Day 04 - A song that reminds you of someone
Day 05 - A song that reminds of you of somewhere
Day 06 - A song that reminds you of a certain event
Day 07 - A song that you can dance to
Day 08 - A song that makes you fall asleep
Day 09 - A song from your favorite band
Day 10 - A song that no one would expect you to love
Day 11 - A song that describes you
Day 12 - A song from your favorite album
Day 13 - A song that you listen to when you're angry
Day 14 - A song that you listen to when you're happy
Day 15 - A song that you listen to when you're sad
Day 16 - A song that you want to play at your wedding
Day 17 - A song that you want to play at your funeral
Day 18 - A song that makes you laugh

Toughest question ever, but Pounding by Doves has been a pretty consistent obsession of mine for the past few years. There are certainly older songs I've loved longer and other ones that are technically better, but this one is just special to me.

In other news, I'm home! Housesitting this weekend again but at least it's only for the two days. I'm just looking forward to sleeping in my own bed tonight.

Also, does anyone know anything about fish? Remington hasn't eaten (that I've seen) for two weeks and he's constantly just sitting on the bottom. He'll occasionally come up to the top to blow a bubble but that's about it, he won't interact with me or even his reflection in a handheld mirror, which he normally does.

Back home again, housesitting was dull as shit but on the plus side I got to play more with my ipod because my aunt has wireless.

Because of boredom I wrote porn, which I would really love someone to beta because I know my grammar isn't fabulous. Something is definitely up with my paragraphs, I know there is! And I know it's not great, so I'd like directions to make it better.

The licks-into-his-mouth tally has been updated with three stories, a big week for licking apparently.

openmoments bought me a virtual gift! No one has ever done that before! Straight up, I was this close to tears.

EWW, I just went to get a drink of water, right? And on the way back I stepped in a half-masticated gecko my dog has obviously been playing with. I have gecko on my sole, NOT COOL (although I feel there is an awesome name for a band someone in there, Gecko Soul, anybody?)

I downloaded new Shout Out Louds and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club albums, this is definitely the year that continues to keep giving.

HOME. Home home home home home. Finally.

<3

New Magnetic Fields album, fuck yeah!

Work today! I'm so grateful the kids have a Nintendo DS each, makes my job a lot more simple.

Speaking of work, Nadeen commissioned me to make a chocolate pavlova and a chocolate cake for a party on Sunday. Huzzuh for more money.

Housesitting/dogsitting next week, so I'll be away. Try not to miss me too much, alright?

plasticprincess and a_shadow_there, I posted this yesterday but you mightn't have seen, are you guys still interested in doing a drabble for Act 1, 2 or 3 in my fanmix? New tracklist is in the previous entry, here.

Ragh, ran out of time, off to work! Fuck, I'm so tired.

( In other news )

So...apparently Steve Irwin is dead. The news is reporting he was stung in the chest by a sting ray off of Port Douglas. It's odd. Steve was just one of those people you always expected to be around forever. Of all the jokes I made about him and all the things I've disagreed with about how he handles animals and even his own children, his heart was in the right place. He deeply cared about conservation, something I stongly support, and he did a lot to educate the masses about animals and how important they are for the survival of the planet. He loved what he did and I admired him in that respect. I feel guilty for making fun of him.

I hope everyone is well, I've been housesititng and working my arse off, I haven't even had time to check my emails.
