Holidays and a Meme

[gateslacker]

 Happy Belated Holidays!!

I haven't posted in a bit and I am not sure why, other than the business that came with graduation and the holiday. I never even got my tree put up this year and only really felt the Christmas spirit on Christmas day! I have also picked up some extra days at work since school is out and I could always use the money,

Sorry about having to wait so long for your transcripts. That's a bit of an annoyance but I'm sure it will work out.

Yes, Merlin. I can't explain my obsession with it, either. I've always loved Arthurian legends but this goes beyond anything I expected. I did obsess about Star Wars for a very long time. Hopefully, my Merlin love will last a long time, too. I'm also with you on reading the last obsession's fanfic. I was following it very closely and reading tons and I just stopped when Merlin took hold of my heart. I do miss the people from my old fandom but they stayed on the old Star Wars boards and I moved on.

Yes, being older than Colin can make one feel a bit odd. I'm old enough to be his mother + but I just like looking at him. :DDD So you shouldn't worry about it. He's too yummy to pass up.

Yes! Exactly. I only recorded it because of the Arthurian association and, even then, I expected it to merely provide a few moments of entertaining television.

He's too yummy to pass up. Yep, too yummy, indeed! And I like your icon.

[archaeologist_d]

Thanks. He really is yummy.

Merry Christmas. : )

I love your mood icon. I hate winter too. We finally got snow yesterday and boy did we get a lot. D'oh!!!!

Good Luck with the job opportunties. I hope 2011 is a great one for you.

I guess you made up for lost time on the snow front, eh? How much did you get. We got a dusting on Christmas day and it was lovely falling but I never want it to hang around for any length of time.

I hope you have a wonderful 2011 as well. Can you believe that it is 2011???

PEI got a ton more then we got here in Halifax. That is one good thing about living right in the city. We don't get as much snow as the surrounding communities. It can be just as cold tho.

It looks everyone is doing your meme. I might have to give it a try when I get home from work. ; )

Did you see in my LJ post that a local BBQ restaurant is claiming they sell real SWEET TEA!!! I told them I have a friend from the South and that I will have to get her up here to sample it. They said they look forward to that. : )

[gateslacker]

Well! I will just have to come visit and try that place out ato give them my "expert" opinion. And BBQ? Which variety are we talking about. Real southern BBQ or something completely different. (I ask because with BBQ and sweet tea, I wonder if they are trying for a southern flavor.)

Maybe if the England trip goes belly up, I can plan a trip to Halifax. I know it isn't really all that convenient, but if I did I would certainly want to visit PEI this time around.

What weather tempretures have you been getting?

[gateslacker]

((((Hugs))))) to you, too, Mal. I hope you have a terrific new year!

It got colder here earlier than it usually does and the day temps have been in the 20s, low 30s and the night temps have been in the teens (F). And we have already had snow twice! (We can go whole winters without it or maybe one or two).

I know I will be completely over it by, oh, now...LOL. Of course, I realize that 30 degree temps is nothing compared to some places (as is the snow that typically doesn't hang around long) but I get really cold at that temp and I hate being cold. I feel like I freeze to death all winter. I don't think I could handle living any farther north.

[mal119119]

So around 0c for day time temps. That is cold if you are not used to it :).

We've had a few weeks of it not getting up to 0c. If we have a few days of below 0c Mum gets cold weather payments of £25 a week. She's recived 4 of those in a row.

On the subject of Sherlock; Season 2 is out in the Autumn of 2011 :)

Oh, cool. I hope that we will be able to see it around that time, too.

[gateslacker]

Y'know, I think the timing will work out for you with the testing and jobs

I hope you are right. And I'm feeling pretty calm this morning in an "It's all good" sort of way.

I'll look forward to your meming!

Not going to try the fan meme because I honestly can't answer most of the questions. Odd, isn't it?

Sucks that you have to wait so long to submit and test. I'm keeping good thoughtst that those jobs will still be there for you to choose from. After all your hard work it only seems fair. Yeah, I know life doesn't work that way but one can hope!

Do you feel at odds? Sometimes when I am between real fandom obsessions, I feel a bit out of sorts. Crazy, innit.

LOL, we all know how life works sometimes but that never stops us from wishful thinking, which I am going to do. Of course, part of me just has to trust that things will work out they way they are supposed to. I thank you for your good thoughts. ((((hugs))))

[ruralstar]

Little slow in responding here but you know how it goes.

Not between fandom obsessions. Not really interested in finding one either. I still follow Kevin McKidd but that has turned into something very different because of my experiences. I love several shows but the idea of diving back into the fray of fandom does not appeal. Takes more energy than I want to devote to it. It was weird not being able to really answer that meme but I'm not disappointed. My feelings on the subject would have been so different not that long ago LOL
