Blood will Flow

I've just deleted some emails from my inbox cutting it down from 747 to 4.

I had a look at wat was there and decided it was stupid to think I was ever going to catch up with even half of the stuff I've been hanging onto for the last six months - so wiping the slate clean seemed like a sensible move! Especially since I'm off to Birmingham tomorrow for the start of three weeks of convention madness, and KNOW I won't be able to keep track of new posts and stuff, let alone read all the previous posts.

So big apologies to anyone whose fics or posts I haven't yet responded to - I will endeavour to catch up with everyone when I get back.

I hope to post bits and pieces while I'm away because meeting up with all my fangirls (and the odd boy) is too good not to share.

Catch you all on the flipside...

As I was posting for JJ's birthday, I suddenly  realised I'm a complete tosspot because I never did the post I thought I'd done to say THANK YOU to everyone who sent me pressies and messages on my birthday. How rude am I?

So VERY belatedly - so much love to everyone who wished me happy birthday. You honestly made my day.

Thank you for posting messages here and on Facebook
Thank you for the home-made adorable card sillie82
Thank you for the virtual gifts - sw0rdy de_nugis fairyniamh

I did actually make a list of who'd sent what, but of course, because I've left it so long, I've lost the bloody thing. But believe me, the love was much appreciated, every single bit of it. I'll blame my age for my forgetfulness...
AND AND TODAY zara_zee posted this birthday timestamp to her fab Jensen's Choice fic, just for me and it is totally badass and awesome!

Here, by way of an apology, have a laugh at this photo I manipped for my generous-hearted friend Dave, who also has a birthday today.

Love you all.

I've just had to ping off a grovelling apology to the lovely val_kagami because I just can't seem to get my head round this sporting fic I signed up for what seems like a decade ago.  I thought I'd cracked it yesterday, but no.  I've really got no further than the initial idea and my brain just can't seem to find any enthusiasm or inspiration to move it from a basic premise to an actual story.

So here I am, pulling out at the tenth hour (not quite the eleventh as posting date was supposed to be 3 days hence).  And I feel bad about it, even though I know it's only fanfic and only for fun.  And it isn't as though I have a huge fanbase all gagging for my next master work! LOL

On a happier note - Hurrah for our Parliament doing the right thing for once!  Finally the bill has been passed that will allow two people who love each other to get married and have the same status as a married couple regardless of whether they are marrying the opposite sex or the same sex.  Welcome to the 21st century and why has it taken so bloody long, eh?  Just what is it that frightens people so much about same gender relationships?  It's not as if world population is under threat of decline, so what other semi-rational reason can there be for opposing it?

And on that note, mild SPOILER for last night...

HEE!!! Dean's gay thing...and his disappointment that it came to nought was so adorable.
