I have some feels about television shows, and I have a need to talk about them, so.
( tv discussion )In other news, my
hd_erised fic is done, betaed, and submitted, which is excellent news. I'm not bragging (well, maybe a little bit, haha), because I know that others are still working their way through theirs, and this was literally the only thing I've been working on, and I needed to get it done by this week, because I know I just won't have time in the coming couple of months. But actually, I'm really freaking proud of this story; it's the third longest fic I've ever written and then put out for people to read, and it's one of the few of my own that I get a kick out of rereading. I just, I really love it, y'all. This fest has really given me a confidence boost in my writing, so I thank all of you who directed me over there back in August *kisses*.
My Mum and Stepdad are coming up to visit us in literally a week (ohmygod help), so I'm having to clean my house from top to bottom. I love my mother more than life itself, but she's a neat freak, and likes to tell me quite often that I'm lazy (I am) and should work harder at keeping the house clean. "My house never looked liked this when you were growing up," is one of her favourite sayings. I could point out to her that when we were growing up, she was at work all day while we were with a childminder, so there was nobody in the bloody house to mess it up, compared to me, who works from home and has two children under 10 who like to paint the walls with sticky handprints (my mum wisely waited 10 years between me and my younger brother), but instead I usually just roll my eyes and show her to my cleaning supply cupboard. So, downside of this visit? I get less time on the internet to read gay porn, and I get a lecture on how to be a better housewife (please, mother, like you even know what that is, you're just ever so slightly OCD). But the upside? I get to see my mum, whom I adore, and the kids get to see their Grandad, whom they adore, and I'm pretty sure all of my ironing pile will get done by someone other than myself by the time they leave again. Sounds like a fantastic deal to me.
Right, now I'm going to go and start another Rectober post! How is everyone else? Having good weeks so far?
