So, I totally haven't been around at all lately, and I'm probably not going to really be back for another couple weeks. But I just had to post about this because it's so depressing :(

I knew when I got my home inspection that I'd have to take a look at my main bathroom because the toilet didn't seem to be on properly. My father, who has been doing a lot of the fixing up of my house, doesn't do plumbing at all, so he waited until my uncle who has done bathrooms could come and help before looking at it.

Well, last night was the night and now I don't have a bathroom anymore :S:S:S:S:S

The tore up the floor, actually, they tore up about 4 floors, it looks like the previous owners decided it'd be better to just put a new floor on top of the old one plywood and all. The vanity, toilet and bathtub are all gone too. The flooring was rotted through all the way down so we're going to have to strip right down to the beams.

diurnal_lee it's a good thing you saw your room last weekend, because it's not too impressive now since it's got the bathtub, sink and toilet in it at the moment.

I was afraid something like this would happen, but everyone kept telling me that they didn't think the bathroom thing would be a big deal, so I was totally shocked to have it happen. I'm also getting really annoyed with my mom who wants me to totally replace everything in my bathroom. And while yes, it does make more sense to replace things like the bathtub and toilet while we've got it out, it doesn't mean I can afford it.

I have coffee and a headache. The first is doing nothing to help the second, while the second is making the first less enjoyable.

My boss and our marketing director are coming to my store today, which means driving around and talking to potential big order customers. I hate trying to push business on people. I'm not a used car salesman. I know it's part of the gig, but seriously, it's my least favorite part.

I'm going to see a community theatre production of Cats tomorrow. One of my employees is in it. It's a community theatre production of Cats, so my expectations aren't very high, but it should be entertaining, at the very least.

It's Harry Potter Day !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (For me, anyway) I am going tonight at 7:30...only like 12 more hours! Hopefully the day goes by quickly!

I am using this icon not because I don't care, but just because it's Slytherin and also awesome :)

Just downloaded Mine All Mine, which I think is the only Russell T Davies series I've never seen at all - somewhere at the back of my head I knew that Gareth David Lloyd played 'Yanto' Jones in this (RTD's love of reusing names and fondness for recasting actors collide), but it's still really weird to see. I kind of want to watch this series as Torchwood Series 0 now.

I don't know how many of you are still here from before, but I used to talk about getting a maltipoo all the time.

Well two weeks ago I finally did!  He's SUCH hard work but I love him.


This was before his hair cut.

This is after:


He's currently 2lbs 7oz.

OMG WAIT. One more order of most important business before I go crash into bed like one bicycle!Brian into a ditch.

Chris Pine/Zach Quinto recs!

Cos I'm all *flaily hands* over them and my bigger rec list isn't ready yet. AND YOU MUST READ THESE NOW NOW NOW.

Untitled (Virginity Prompt) by winterlive In which Chris and Zach get baked in Zach's backyard and talk about first times. The mood of this is just... guh.

Skittles by ewinfic In which there is eating of Skittles and mixing of flavors. So funny. And hot.

THANK YOU AND GOODNIGHT!

Like Gasoline has officially passed Leave the House Lights On as my most rec'ed/feedbacked/best recieved fic I've ever written. And it's the first thing I have written in this fandom!

You guys are so nice. *peers* Do you secretly eat babies? There has to be a catch.

God I love this fandom. You have no idea.

In all seriousness though, I am going to have such terrible stage-fright when it comes time to post the next story. :x

In other news (or perhaps, in the same news) "Gasoline" is my go-to song to write Kradam. Okay. To be fair, Cradlesong in general is my Kradam-writing soundtrack (specifically "Gasoline," "Snowblind," and "Cradlesong") but if you change the gender "Gasoline" is perfect:

Oh well, oh well, I guess you've got it all worked out so far
you adjust your reason until you see the light from where you are
but you can never win, and you can never lose, that's the worst part
you can only say that what you want is where you are

you're a beautiful girl
so won't you listen to me?
I tried so hard to give you what you need
and it burned like gasoline

Oh well, oh well, it never took a lot to make this hard
you were so off balance and I knew all the words to set you off
but you can never win, and you can never lose, that's the scorn part
and you throw your head back and you laugh at where we are

This song explains why everything I write comes out bittersweet. *shakes head* The next thing I post is going to be pretty happy-ending-y! Adam just has a lot of (valid) fears before that point.

What song are you ashamed of enjoying

"To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up."

- C.S. Lewis
(Of whom I'm not a big fan, but I love this quote.)

I GOT A HAIRCUT. Here are some pictures of me and Erinna camwhoring it up!

( FIERCE. )

Tanker Explodes On I-75 In Hazel Park

Michigan State Police shut down Interstate 75 in both directions at 9 Mile Road in Hazel Park Wednesday aft a tanker exploded, causing a massive fire.

Police said the tanker rolled over on the northbound lanes of the freeway shortly after 8 p.m.

Police said the flames caused the Nine Mile Road bridge over I-75 to collapse.

As of Wednesday night, there was no report of fatalities.

The tanker is reported to have been carrying around 9,000 gallons of fuel. Utility companies expressed concern over a natural gas pipeline that runs in the general area.

Officials are not sure what caused the crash, but said there was a large explosion and fire reported, said Michigan State Police Lt. Shannon Sims.

DTE Energy said 2,000 customers are without power due to the accident.

There is no word on when the road will reopen.

Being the geek that I am, my sister, brother in law, a few friends and myself went to wwatch Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince last night.

I'm not ashamed to admit it - I really dig the Potter series. The books are well written and the movies never disappoint.

Except maybe the latest installment.

All of us walked out of the cinema feeling rather underwhelmed by the whole thing. In fact, it felt as if I had just sat through a two and a half hour long CW episode of 90210 (or, you know, some other hormonal driven teen drivel)

I could go on about how the director basically trivialised the threat of the death eaters, the DA didn't even make an appearance and Ron's brush with death was not as scary as it should have been. Dumbledore says - These are dangerous times we're living in. Well? Why isn't everyone trying harder to look after themselves instead of brewing fucking love potions? What happened to the battle where walls are exploding and kids are being crushed? All we get are a few aquatic zombies, a crying Draco (suck it up), a sulky Hermione and an ending that really may have turned a few of the viewers into diabetics. 

If this is a pratical joke by the studio, then, well done. But can we please get the real movie now?
