13 days of happy things starts tomorrow in this journal! Woo-hoo! Fic, vids, recs, songs, icons, stuff, etc. For people who are wondering why I do this specifically during the first 13 days of June,
In 2007, my mom passed away on June 12, but her official date of death is my birthday, June 13. The first couple years after, I had trouble celebrating my birthday, because I was so sad. Then I decided, hey, there is a better way to honor my mom, and that is by putting some happiness and love out into the world in the days that lead up to the sad day. So that is what I do, RL permitting. And this year, it permits!
For the people who have said they want to steal that idea - PLEASE DO! The world needs more happy things, and LJ needs more content and interaction and joy. That is my position on the matter.
And now, Sons of Anarchy. Everyone who did not tell me about this amazing show is fired. (Except for
sockkpuppett, because I think she did try to tell me, sort of.) I mean, it is everything I am interested in - spectacular, complicated characters (GEMMA! TARA! HALE!! OPIE! JAX!!!!!!), incredible drama, relationships, rock n roll -- so what's not to love? If you're me, nothing! I am about to start season 3 now, and I have to say in a non-spoilery way, my crush on Charlie Hunnam is out of control completely. Holy mother of wow, he is hot in this. I had no idea. FIRED, ALL OF YOU.
