Guys, I super intensely want a Very Harlequin Romance with two ladies. Like, the cranky firefighter and the lady who is trying to live in her old family home and run the old family antique business after her great-aunt dies and leaves it to her, and it's nothing but code violations and musty old fabric and the firefighter-lady would just like to not have to rescue her and her seven dogs, and the great-aunt would never LISTEN about FIRE SAFETY, and the antiques-lady is like, HUBBA HUBBA, WHY DON'T YOU COME ON IN AND SHOW ME ALLLLL THE VIOLATIONS, and then they have sex, and they have a fight, but then they make up and get married. That. I want it. Like now. If you have a rec for an original fic/e-book/fanfic, gimme. *grabbiest hands*
I had too many things going on last week to have time for the internet, so I am a bit behind. I did catch up on LJ, and left a lot of tabs open to leave comments--but I won't have time to actually leave the comments until Sunday. /o\ So if you get a hug from me well after you needed it, or a congratulations, or a long ramble about Person of Interest--it'll be two weeks late but heartfelt?
Martha and I did our engagement photos on Sunday! I do not like to have to be serious and have my picture taken at the same time--I just feel this is asking a lot. Fortunately our photographer is very nice and was willing to work with us even though we can't hold hands and walk towards a camera without tripping all over each other, and my serious/relaxed face is kind of a sad face (I said to Martha, I just feel like I have an angry nose and it's hard for my face to look pleasantly relaxed, and Martha pretty much said ........), and also I talk a lot always. It's a good thing that Martha is an attractive, agreeable person who is easy to work with in general, is all I'm saying, because otherwise we'd never get anything done.
We got a sneak peek at a couple of the pictures and I think they came out really nice, will have to share a few when we get them all.
Tonight we go to our first cake tasting! I sent Martha a picture I drew in MS Paint earlier, which I have included under the cut tag because I am super proud of myself, I am clearly an MS Paint artist.
:D
Next weekend, we will be road-tripping to NYC with
misspamela, and I am a) very excited!!! and b) planning to listen to FOB's new album the entire trip there and back. I think it seems like an excellent road trip album (a very solid album overall; there aren't words for how into Young Volcanoes I am, or how disappointed I am that the videos so far are so bloody and disturbing that I can't rewatch them--I mean, I realized the other day that Patrick STUMP and--anyway, no rewatching, yay songs). c) can I repeat the part where I'm very excited? Road trips and fangirls and time with MissP <3<3<3
So that's that--one day I'll do a post that isn't five random mostly-unrelated things, but not today. :D
