Such a great message

I just found out that the fabulous

reapertownusa recently had a stroke at 39 but is thankfully recovering. She posted the news on Facebook with a smiling picture of her with one side of her head bulging strangely because they had to remove part of her skull to relieve the pressure, and she is waiting to return to have it put back. Modern medicine, man. So amazing and scary at the same time. In the meantime she has to stay upright and sleep with a helmet on...

I don't know. It's like bad things just keep happening to the nicest of people.

Anyway, if any of you know her, or even if you don't - think positive thoughts in her direction. It can't to any harm and it might help. And if you are on Facebook, you can leave her a message on her post HERE.

I know there are not many of us left over here but I just wanted to say - I am so grateful for all the beautiful, intelligent, quirky, talented and utterly fabulous women I've met on Live Journal and Dreamwidth, and in fandom generally.

I love you all.

This is helping parents put their rambunctious kidlets to sleep, so maybe listening to Tom Hardy's voice will help my lovely friends who are having trouble sleeping. Plus, it is an awesome little message of positivity too.

Win win.

Um. Okay.

Snowflake Challenge Day 8

In your own space, make a list of at least 3 things that you like about yourself.

This is hard. Trying to do this without qualifiers is very, very hard. Take it that each statement has an unspoken qualifier saying I like to think that I'm...

...generous

...independent of spirit

...reasonably intelligent

Phew. There, it's done!

❤

Day 14: In your own space, share your love for something fannish: a trope, cliché, kink, motif, theme, format, or fandom.
( Read more... )

Day 11 - In your own space, make a list of at least 3 things that you like about yourself.

Argh!! The hardest, hardest thing.

Ok, I'm biting the bullet and following

madebyme_x's example (and sort of stealing her answers too!).

I smile a lot

I think I'm largely a positive person

I like to be helpful and useful and kind

And putting positive things out there without qualifying them in some way? Torture!

A message of love and support that can apply to everyone - if you are feeling low, play this and believe it's about you, because it's true.

I always loved Abby on NCIS, and who'd have thought Tony could sing too?

Anyone need positive reinforcement for their jiggle?

In theory this is Day 5 and the final day of this meme, but just like the Happy posts, I reserve the right to randomly post happy things! *throws imaginary hat in the air and shouts huzzah!*( Read more... )

Reasons to be cheerful one two three – Day 4

1.      Had my eyes tested and as suspected my prescription has changed quite a lot in 2 years. The good news is I managed to find the exact same frames I have now (which I am more than happy with) so I’ve ordered 2 pairs on a 2 for 1 offer. The price all in (lenses, tints, varifocals x2) is still £10 cheaper than the only frames I liked in the shop where I got my eyes tested. And that was before that opticians added on the £210 cost of the lenses! Ha ha you’re having a laugh, Vision Express, mate. Spec Savers it is then.

2.     SDMB summaries are up! And apart from the fact I’ll be amazed if any artist wants to pick my fic – bloody hell my summary sucks – I’ve managed to get my shortlist of 3. Well 4 really with another 3 that could have been on my list, but I’m not changing my mind again. There were literally only 2 summaries that I thought, nope, I would want to touch that one. So much delicious candy to pick from! Yum.

3.     I think I’ve finished my spn_j2_xmas fill. And the nice thing about that is, I can leave it for a while and come back to it fresh to see if I’m right or not – there’s so much time! Plus if I think about it a bit more I might be able to illustrate it as well.

Reasons to be cheerful one two three – Day 3

Missed a couple of days, not because there was nothing positive about them, but just because I forgot. Now I’m too lazy to recap so this is all about today!

1.      Spent the day in London at a workshop about a fascinating project that may never happen because it's almost too fascinating. There's a bloke called Steve Ward who had this idea about building a modern pyramid on a monumental scale. He wants this pyramid to be an international collaboration, and to contain the hopes and dreams of children from all around the world. Children will record their wishes for the future and then seal them into this huge structure for a thousand years. So romantic a notion, and he has the backing of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, which is pretty inspiring in itself. There is a downside, but as this is a positive meme, I won’t go into that here! This is their website if you are curious about it.

2.     I submitted my SDMB draft yesterday, so now I’m sitting around getting excited for all the summaries to be posted tomorrow. I can’t wait to see what’s going on and get my shortlist for the art claims on Friday! Woo!

3.     My SwedArt leather and silver wire bracelet arrived today. It’s so pretty…even though I’m hiding it from the hubster so he won’t whinge about me spending money on frivolities again. Sigh.

So yeah, I got tagged by the adorably talented

badbastion and why not, hey?( Read more... )

five things meme

Kind of tagged by badbastion
When you get this you have to say 5 nice things about yourself publicly, then tag 10 of your friends!
I'm going to take a leaf out of badbastion's book and not tag anyone - how could I pick 10 any way? So do this if you fancy it, don't if you don't!
I'm really bad at this so I'm doing it wrong from the start by saying - I think I ... :

...give good advice and encouragement whenever I can

...am an okay artist and writer

...am good at connecting people with other people (maybe I was a matchmaker in a previous life!)

...am helpful

...smile a lot.

Um, that was like drawing teeth! Bwhahah!

Hey, gang. You know how fed up you get with fandom wank sometimes? I know I do. But here's a small thing we can do that might cause a bigger ripple.

Spearheaded by

honeylocusttree, this Thunderclap is a way we can potentially shine a light on being KIND instead of crotchety towards each other in fandom.

Being a part of a fandom can impact your life far more than expected. We find ourselves relating to the characters more deeply, we meet folks that turn into genuine friends, we participate in charity events that make the world better, spurred on by our fandom relations...see how it goes? But it can get vitriolic too, for a whole host of reasons.

This simple reminder, trying to take one day to sit back and do nothing but be patient and tolerant and wank-free, is a step in the right direction. That's all it is! No donations, no nuthin' but a promise to can the wank for one...single...day.

Easy, right? July 12 is that day. Sign up HERE.

And I'd add - why not go a step farther? Make it a day where we not only refrain from bitching, we make a positive effort to find something GOOD to say and post about.
