They Say What They Say

Clark Gregg has made it into People’s Sexiest Men issue! I highly approve of this decision.

Does anyone want an Ao3 invite? I've got one kicking around that I'm not using.

I don't think I've mentioned it here, but Ive gone and got myself a Tumblr account: laylee-jones.tumblr.com/

I mostly use it to indulge in my current obsession with all thing related to the Avengers movieverse, but there's other bits and pieces there as well. Shoes are a given, as are pretty frocks and cute boys, but I'm also post the odd snippet of fic there as well. Please feel free to drop by if you are so inclined.

I've seen this around and thought it looked like fun.

Hmm, I seem to be rather obsessed with this at the moment -



Maybe my fanish instincts are finally emerging from hibernation?

You know what I hate? I hate it when, after a long period of not reading fanfic, I find one so perfect that I just want everything else that I read in the same fandom to be of similar quality. But most of the aren't so I am invariably let down and I really hate that.

*le sigh*

Hellooo interwebs!

I'm still alive, although I'm finding that the longer I go without posting the harder it becomes to do so. I'm still sans internet at home, which seems to shock people more than I thought it would. When I tell them that I have no access to the WWW outside of work hours its like I've told then that I've cut off my left foot or something. Very odd.

So, what's been happening? Not a lot, really. I spent my birthday in a meeting in Wollongong, which was novel, have traveled back and forth to the old home town many times over the last month and ate too many party pies at my niece's fifth birthday party on Saturday. Seriously, I cannot look a meat pie in the eye at the moment. The very though of it makes me want to gag.

I've also been doing a lot of sewing. Dresses mostly. I can't get enough dresses these days and as a result my wardrobe it about to burst at the seams, so to speak. But still. DRESSES!!!!!

*ahem*

Not much happening on the fannish front. I seem to have lost all interest in fanfic, both reading and writing it, and I'm barely keeping up with the shows I do have a passing interest in. Put it this way: I've only just watched the first episode of season six of Supernatural. That's how far behind I am. I can't say if this lull is permanent or temporary. I'll just have to wait and find out.

*waves at you all*

ETA: So now I'm eating my words about the fanfic thing because I just found out that celli posted this perfect little Dan/Casey ficlet for me on AO3 and I just love it!
