My bedroom is still not tidy. BUT, I have organised the big massive pile into SMALLER, SEPARATE PILES. And might be able to start putting some of the things in it up any day now, tomorrow maybe. Also, I thought I might have lost something else, a set of pairs of earrings I just in the last few weeks bought from Claire's Accessories. But then I figured out where they might have ended up falling into, checked it, and found them. Hurrah! The Chesnut Soldier and the 6 or so books of Fables, I still haven't managed to find.

Other things I have been doing:

1. I went to see Eclipse, film 3 of the Twilight Saga. I actually quite enjoyed it. I have ended up on Team Edward sort of, without really meaning to be, partially based on how Robert Pattinson has apparently said he plays the role (a manic depressive who hates himself, apparently). But I also pretty much enjoyed it as a film. Things in it weren't too stupid, and from what I have heard of the book they took out a lot of the stuff that was just awful, and gave people a lot better reasons for the things they did, and bothered to be funny sometimes. And quite a bit of it was super-powered vampire/massive werewolf fight scenes. And speaking of which, I find it hard to believe there wasn't a werewolf/Cullen family orgy after that big fight. Hard to believe. Also, people (cleolinda) had mentioned the potential for Edward/Seth slash, but OH MY GOD, I WASN'T EXPECTING THAT LEVEL OF IT. DUDES. Robert Pattinson gave that giant CG werewolf some SEARING looks, dudes. It was kind of brilliant.



2. I caught up on Teen Girl Squad. I LOVE TEEN GIRL SQUAD. I LOVE THEM A WHOLE LOT.



3. Most of the time, I go on Digital Spy and I hate Digital Spy. They hate most of the characters I like. Or, the people who hate the characters I like are very vocal about it, and the people who like the characters I like are not. However, sometimes they make posts like this one. And it is awesome.
   
   Last week, after Natasha boyfriend Declan had broken up with her for the first time because of 'something weird going on between her and Nathan', and before she broke up with him finally because she couldn't handle a boyfriend AND being blackmailed, he said to her, 'I can tell that you're struggling. With what happened with Mark, and with Nathan. Why don't we go to a nice restaurant, and just talk, and then have a few drinks'. You know who is ACTUALLY struggling, Declan? Nathan. Maybe you should take him out for dinner, and some drinks. Then maybe he could break down because someone's being nice to him, and tell you everything that is happening in his terrible life, and you could call the police and put a stop to it, and hopefully keep Nathan out of it a bit, and everything will be a lot better.
   
   Other things that are weird about Nathan and Declan:
   
   
   • Back when Nathan first came back, Declan took him back into the business only after insisting Nathan would be working 'for me, not with me'. While at the same time, eyeing up Natasha's/the company's PA, asking if she was very efficient and whether they wouldn't just be better off firing her. Declan, we all want a sexy PA like Nathan, but you can't just go poaching your girlfriend's kids. Seriously.
   
   
   
   • Declan doesn't like Nathan, and was appalled, appalled when it turned out Nathan had gotten the planning permission he'd wanted by blackmailing a councilor, and isn't even dating Nathan's mum at the moment. And technically has a majority say in the business. And still hasn't fired him.
   
   
   
   • The other week, when Natasha and Declan were dating in secret, and possibly Declan was mad at Nathan for something, he was in the office with Natasha and she was talking about how Nathan used to take guitar lessons when he was young, which was unfortunate for everyone because he was tone deaf, and Declan just IMMEDIATELY WANTED TO HAVE SEX WITH HER. ON THE DESK. RIGHT THERE. I think the combination of thinking of Nathan young, playing music, and being bad at something, drove him into a kind of a frenzy. And even if he wanted to sleep with Natasha to sort of spite Nathan, who wasn't even there, dude, that's still a bit weird.
   
   
   
   • Frustrated, furious attraction is something I could completely understand when it comes to Nathan on that show. From all the people those guys mentioned in that post and more.
   
   Meanwhile Cain, who was the person doing the aforementioned blackmailing of Natasha, at first thought he was just blackmailing Nathan, and seemed to mostly be concerned with having Nathan 'do as he's told'. At one point he was talking about it with his girlfriend, and that was what he said he wanted from him. He didn't even mention the money, just that he wanted Nathan to 'do as he's told'. It was awesome. And Cain's already grabbed his balls once in the Woolpack toilets. No lie. As I say, it's an emotion I can completely understand from other characters when it comes to Nathan.
   
   And Nathan's still sort of running around, trying to deal with his dad being dead, his mum being a murderer, his mum just not seeming to care about having murdered his dad and having a new boyfriend, his sister hating him, and possibly being blackmailed (again) by Cain. And he's not dealing with it terribly well. Oh god Nathan. God.

Also, one day I am totally going to try to do a comment about Emmerdale that is, I don't know, less than three paragraphs. It's SO HARD when it comes to soaps and there is just SO MUCH canon. Sorry about that.

Not a problem! TBH it's great for me as I actually know some of what's been going on :D

(also, I'm hardly in a position to judge anyone else's wordcount when it comes to tv...)
