The Blob

( Be advised: Contains thinkyness about boys )

Yesterday, I passed a sign 50ft from work that said "Camelot protected". What do these omens portent? ^______^

Who here agrees that Bradley James is probably perfect?

Shocking, I know!

Something exciting is happening tomorrow, but I won't say anything about it until things are confirmed and settled and what-not. But, suffice to say, I am VERY VERY EXCITED. Giddy, in fact. *squee*

Today I read that ASH interview and now I must pose this question to the Merlin fandom at large: WHERE IS ALL THE COLIN+TONY-BOND-OVER-THEIR-VEGETARIANISM-AND-SCHEME-TO-DEPRIVE-BRADLEY-OF-HIS-SAUSAGE-SANDWICHES FIC?! There's a big gaping hole where this story should be. Really. *prods you*

I am HEROICALLY resisting the urge to order Merlin Vol.2. All you people with your recaps and your picspams are NOT HELPING AT ALL. However, supplies of moar fic will go a long way to earning my forgiveness.

*is manic*

Moar

NaNoWriMo Swiss style ended in, well, style this past weekend. We gathered at belenustenebrae's house for a sleepover that involved cake, alcohol, pizza, pasta, Twister, Singstar, Mario Party, Super Smash Bros, and Merlin drinking games. Best weekend of my life ever full stop amen. Gonna miss these guys so much - they made Switzerland a much more entertaining place than it would otherwise have been.

Going to Milan this weekend to stay with jackks, which shall prove to be entertaining, especially if angry uni porters yell at us in Italian. Hmm.

And then I fly home to jolly old England on Monday. Can't believe my time as an au pair is almost over. I'm going to miss this family a lot; they've been so good to me. Still, nothing beats a Christmas with your own mother and sister and menagerie.

Last night was exhausting. Mami Boss went to the hospital to give birth (child henceforth known as Baby Baby Girl, 53cm long sister to Big Little Girl and Little Little Girl), so I was in charge of the kids (who were already fast asleep when the changeover happened). But there is something intrinsically terrifying about being responsible for two little children at night, when paranoia runs rife and so many things can go wrong. I didn't get to sleep until gone 1am, and woke up at 6am, and I kept having to check on them in case they'd stopped breathing or had had a nightmare and were too terrified to move, or something.

When you're a parent, it's one kind of fear, that you'll not be good enough or you'll do the wrong thing; but when you're a carer it is so much worse because not only can you fuck up in spectacular fashion, you've got to then face the legal guardians and explain how and why it all went bad.

God. Terrifying.

But in reward, I have the rest of today off work. I intend to do ... not a great deal. Haha. Will hopefully get some fic-writing done (4 fanfics on the go! 1 FFVII, 2 Merlin, 1 RPS). Then, Sat/Sun is an overnight NaNoWriMo TGIO sleepover party! I intend to get royally hammered and enjoy my hangover thoroughly.

Mami Boss and Baby Baby Girl are both healthy and well. I'll see them on Monday, I think. *collapses*

I have fallen, and fallen hard, for this guy *points to icon*. Merlin is probably the most awesome show EVAR. It has twice the amount of 'subtext' (HA) as just about everything except Queer as Folk (maybe), with more swashbuckling than Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and all the gleeful bantering of a really good Supernatural episode but without any filler whatsoever. Okay, so it's not 'deep', really, though it could be if it wanted to. But it doesn't want to! It is well aware that it is a teeny tiny BBC Wales production, about an overdone and really creepy (and weirdly Welsh-French hybridic - new word) legend, and takes great pains to be just about as historically anachronistic as possible. 6th century Severn potatoes, FTW!

Oh man, have I got it bad.

In honour of my new found love, I have ficced! Twice! During NaNo month! I AM FILLED WITH GLEE AND IT IS ALL shei'S FAULT!
