I got my period on Saturday and have been in pain, off and on, ever since.

I also finally finished the Secret Circle today, and went off in search of Ethan/Cassie fic, or even mentions. It was about as fruitful as I expected. (THIER LVOE)

Also I have been wrestling with a fanmix. Turns out one of the most frustrating things in the world is having a fairly long fanmix that's only half in an order you like, so you have to keep rearranging the other tracks and listening to it over and over again to make sure it makes sense and doesn't have any weird tonal shifts. I'm taking a break from it today.

On the other hand, I have written more Guardians of the Galaxy fic and made a different fanmix, I will post those in separate posts shortly.

My computer hasn't blue-screen-of-deathed at all since the last post I made, and I have been happily watching Youtube videos ever since. I figure maybe it just wanted me to back-up my files? Or leave it on all night? Either way the problem appears to have gone away, and I have a new Flash drive for saving anything new and important onto in between back-ups.

Also my volunteering dude got back to me and said he was ill again, had 'forgotten' I was meant to be coming in last Monday (that's alright then), and would probably be off until after his annual leave, but hopefully see me again after September 15th. So I figured that was it and I would be at a loose end for the next few weeks - until another volunteer emailed round and said they would still be doing volunteering, just at different, fairly inconsistent times. And possibly without an actual staff member there to answer questions we're not sure about? I don't know. So I might be going in. I might not.

Ow.

I have suspected it for a while, but today I found out for sure that the Secret Circle had named their Scary Black Man character - with an accent - 'Eben'. Pronounced 'Ebon'. Similar to ebony. Well done, Secret Circle.

Also I still mostly ship Cassie with her soulmate's alcoholic dad. But it turns out Adam has way more chemistry with another girl called Faye than with either his soulmate or his true love, so that works out quite nicely. And now Jake has John Blackwell to gaze soulfully at. So everybody's happy.

The final two episodes are next week. Final two episodes FOREVER. Finally I will know all of their ridiculous, ridiculous secrets.

Also Got To Dance came back. AND MADE ME SO HAPPY. They've changed the format, which I didn't like, but have gotten used to, it is quite good in some ways. And all the same judges are there and they all still love each other. Unfortunately while searching for Kimberley Wyatt love on Tumblr I found another slightly racist promo of her, I wish she would stop doing that. But other than that I love her. She got married, and Ashley brought it up and pointed her 'One Ring'. Yesterday he had a troubled moment while picking an act and we found out Kimberley calls him 'Ash' quite casually. And she's just broken the news publicly that she's pregnant, so they may talk about it on the live shows coming up. I hope they do another series together. Ashley and Adam would love her baby so much. Although I suppose it would mean she had to spend less time taking care of it, if she was busy doing a show. WELL. Some sacrifices have to be made.

The Secret Circle, up to 1.10 )

And I've just started a new computer game where the main villain started off by ranting about the protagonist's "pretty boy face". Ahhh, video games.

Our Sky box is playing up, and we can't get it fixed without paying £40-£60 for an engineer callout. So my dad is planning to cancel Sky altogether and just get Freeview, for £7 a month instead of £67. It's a pretty good deal, obviously, but mostly I'm annoyed because I was getting into The Secret Circle, and it's only available on Sky Living. It's not on any other channel, or any On Demand service, and they never put out DVDs and it isn't on Netflix. I can't even find terrible knock-off DVDs on ebay. I've never missed Megaupload so keenly as I do in this moment.

I mean, the show's kind of bad in a lot of ways and I'm mostly in it for Sad Roy Earle and to see how they changed it from the books. But. I LOVED IT.

So. That's annoying.

Also I found out that the hardest part about writing a long-ass fic in a faux-historical universe in when you realise you don't know shit about designing medieval crowns.

I'm going volunteering tomorrow, for the first time since that time they all disappeared. Hopefully they'll be there tomorrow. Who knows?

And the no handwashing homework is going better than I thought it would while also being pretty damn difficult. But oh well.

It's the end of June. Half the year is over with. I honestly cannot believe that.

I seem to have a thing for teenage-girl/sad-old-dude pairings lately. On Saturday I caught the first hour or so of the Hunger Games, and ended up weirdly interested in Katniss/Haymitch before I stopped watching. Then last night I finally saw some of the Secret Circle show after my dad taped it, and oh my God - I'd heard people mention Cassie/Ethan, but I was unaware. On the TV show itself; I quite like it, even though it's almost nothing like the books, but the main reason to watch it is still Roy Earle's sad eyes, imo.

Anyway. It's a weird thing and I'm not sure where it's come from, but I don't mind it, per se.
