There is a Life on Mars community, [livejournal.com profile] lifein1973. And I have a Life on Mars icon. Excellent.

( Book ramblings )

Finished The Very Secret Diary of Adrian Mole, Aged 13 3/4 though. He wrote an expose on Barry Kent! He wanted to expose him! And Barry was the only one who bought it, for this very fact! Theirloveissooblivioustoitself! :D

In other news, I did not find Pandora quite so horrendous in this one - even thought her wanting to be called 'Box' was quite cute. But then the thing with the Barbara girl not being allowed to the political meetings because she showed Pandora up happened, and it all went a bit downhill. Adrian, on the other hand, was moping because he'd done something wrong, and said something like 'Am reading Crime and Punishment. It is the most true book ever', and I LOVED HIM ALL THE MORE.

My head feels a bit wobbly. I blame Daniel Defoe. And the fact that washing up NEVER GETS DONE IN OUR HOUSE. I hardly ever do my own. But I literally use something like a pan, two plates and a few knives all day most of the time, and it is hidden within very depressing huge piles of other stuff. Because J loves to cook, and is a bit rubbish at washing up anyway, and K gets sick of doing the washing up all the time. Also they randomly stew apples. What is that all about?

Life on Mars. Omg squee. Also: fic!

I should really be reading ahead for uni at the moment, with my two weeks of freedom. But I'm not!

Went into town yesterday, and after visiting the local charity shop and spending my WH Smith gift card, I got home to find out there was still one more Adrian Mole book I do not have! Major to Minor! Damnit. How much life can one boy have? But True Confessions has a section called 'The Mole/Kent letters', which looks promising. Hmm. I am reading The Secret Diary at the moment, and it is very amusing. Adrian such a darling! It does not have the pretty angst like Growing Pains, but it is still adorable. Barry Kent is not yet in love with Adrian, just weirdly obssessed with the scrawny, literary, nerdy-yet-rebellious boy and DOESN'T KNOW WHY! I love them both. And hate slightly Adrian's parents who are just cruel to him for No Good Reason. And then are lovely, but it still makes me angry! Omg.

I have my Nick Cave ticket. It is in a Safe Place. I am getting slightly giddy about the concert now. Hurrah :)

And I watched Life on Mars! ( Thoughts )

And I have written fic. Fic with sex! Vague sex, but still. Probably I have skipped over some aspects of seduction and facts of gay sex, but [livejournal.com profile] jekesta pointed out that there was not any slash anywhere for the show, and this is CLEARLY A CRIME, so I thought I would write some with sex just so there is some. The fact that this is all in Sam's head makes slash sort of weird. But still. Also there is no angst. Or hardly any, at least. Gene seems to resist it. Which is nice. So this is from my I Just Sort Of Wrote It/Sometimes Boys Just Have Sex ouevre. Anyway.

Title: Homeward Bound
Fandom: Life on Mars (post- episode 1.3)
Pairing: Sam Tyler/Gene Hunt
Rating: Um. R? For vague descriptions?
Wordcount: 622
Disclaimer: I do not own them. I do not own any of them.
Feedback: Appreciated.
Notes: Sometimes boys just have sex. Alcohol helps. Also, I couldn't remember any of the nicknames I sure Gene actually gave Sam, so I made one up. Sort of from Gene's POV.

I do not have Adrian Mole or Life on Mars icons. Or know where I might get them. Woe.

I thought I might use some of my newfound free time to write some of the fic I keep telling myself I'm going to write, as per one of my new year's resolutions, and am once again floored by the sheer amount of rare fandoms I have. Omg. I might make a list. Or a poll. Or a post with pictures of all the omgarenttheysopretty?! people. Or just close my eyes and start typing. And next term I am doing modules in Creative Writing and Adaptation and Appropriation, so fic would be TOTALLY good preparation, yo. See what a good student I am.

[livejournal.com profile] aegflota, you know of Nathan Barley, don't you? What do you think of the viability of Nathan/Dan?

Hmm.

Things I have paid for but still don't have:

  • Draco and the Malfoys CD. Which was apparently not delivered the first time I gave them my address in December. And still isn't here two weeks after they emailed to get it again. I don't know how long things take to ship from America, though. I email for news, perhaps.

  • Fanfiction: The Democratic Genre. Totally for the course, yo. Safely on order from WH Smith, unless they CRUELLY WAIT till the day it is meant to be picked up and then phone to say its unavailable. As I suspect they quite like doing. Growl.


Speaking of rare fandoms, was reading Adrian Mole (the second one, I think), last night. I hate Pandora. But apparently want very much to slash Adrian with Barry Kent. ::headdesk::

( Eeee!baby! )

Am back in Nottingham because I didn't pack many clothes, and all I was doing was basically waiting to go visit the baby in the evenings, and reading Adrian Mole (who is an Aries like me! And lives in the East Midlands! And loves books but doesn't read them properly! It's like reading about myself (except for the constant impregnating of women)). And he (the baby) is meant to be coming home on Friday, so I figured I'd get out of their way. Might go back in a week or two though, after Medieval exam.

Am attempting to organise life a little better this year (or even just this term).

( Resolutions )

Things to think about for now:

  • Sorting out finances, what I can and can't spend
  • Getting a contract phone (or not)
  • Planning radio pieces for this term
  • Doing some research into extra-curricular activities I'd like to do
  • Revising for exam
  • Reading ahead for next term (thankfully, Richard III and A Tale of Two Cities look quite interesting)
  • Finishing Adrian Mole and the Weapons of Mass Destruction
  • Current Mood: determined

Am an aunt :). My sister gave birth at 4:20 this morning, and while I wasn't there to see it, I heard him cry for the first time. Mum called me at 8 last night to say it was starting, so I decided to be cheeky and ask my dad to fetch me (roped a housemate into handing in my literature essay). Jack Philip, 5lb 2oz. He is so amazing. I just want to stare at him all the time. He's on an incubator because he had a little trouble breathing, but he's off the oxygen now, and should be out with my sister by tomorrow morning. My sister, on the other hand, has not slept in about 3 days due to fever then labour, so is snapping and snarling at everyone, but she calms down when she's near Jack. It's all good. Part of me wants to stay as long as I can to see him, but there's not a lot to keep me here besides him and he's not mine, so I'll probably be going back on Wednesday. Doesn't mean I won't be back for visits though.

Was torn between the wonder of childbirth (aka the wonder of sitting in a waiting room for two hours) and the wonder of Adrian Mole, though. Didn't think it'd really be my thing, all political satire and man worrying about not getting laid, but And The Weapons of Mass Destruction is hilarious, and Adrian is both endearingly foolish and foxy (it does not hurt that I picture Stephen Mangan, aka the lovely Guy, in my head while reading). I even find myself rooting for Adrian/Pandora (Het! Het, I say!), though I think slash might be possible. His gay best friend is the obvious target, but has been quite cruel to him for 40 pages, so I'm more considering sweet Adrian/bookshop owner, what with hero-worship and shared booklove, or Adrian/Barry Kent, since they don't like each other (yay, tension!), yet Kent's book Aden Vole seems to have a mysterious message hidden within it. Probably I should get familiar with the other books before I start muscling into fandom, though. Also very impressed by the randomly-caught episode of Sea of Souls I saw on Saturday (last night's was interrupted due to nephew-birth). Loooving the Douglas/Craig dynamic. Possessed!slash? I think so!

Was massively tempted by cheap CDs in Tesco's today - Gwen Stefani and Damien Rice for a mere £9.97 each! - but remained strong. Bought the 7ml version of Versace Red Jeans, though. Only £3.59, bargain. Must await balance being restored to my...balance...and think, and plan, before more spending. Yes, I feel this in my bones (and wallet). Wangled a Munchies McFlurry out of the parents though. My verdict: tasty, and not even a McEmployee calling it 'Pedigree Chum' can put me off.
