Today one of the kids was playing at being stuck and kept shouting for me to 'save' them and as soon as I did they got 'stuck' again and I turned around to them and said "I don't think you want to be saved" then I had to take a second, right in the middle of the playground, because Destiel feels.

I'm still tired from the con. Next week is half term though so I've ordered supernatural season 5 (my hard drive which died had my incredibly legal and not even a little bit stolen copy on) and I'm going to sleep and craft and fic and probably sob a lot because season 5. But two more days of work to get through first and the kids are fractious because it's almost the holiday.

Also, I've made a decision about tumblr. I'm keeping it but anyone who makes me angry or upset with drama will get unfollowed unless I know them in real life. I take it all far too personally and I just don't need that in my life. I cut like 60/70 people just now. If you were one of them comment and I'll follow you again.

Today I also paid for my parents to have a weekend away in the summer. Because I'm awesome and they couldn't afford a holiday and my mum really deserves one.

I'm vaguely thinking about starting an etsy shop. Maybe spend my summer making stock as a summer project and then if it doesn't work I can just give the stuff away which is what I normally do with the things I craft and if it does that'll be awesome. Having Kim Rhodes love the gift I made her so much has given me confidence. Though I'm going to need to learn how to photograph my stuff so it doesn't look terrible.

My Asylum photo ops are on tumblr over here

There are too many things to talk about and I'm far too tired so I'm just going to make a brief update now about things that are personal to me at the con and then I'll talk about panels and things later.

( Brief is a relative termCollapse )

So, yeah. Now I need to find the money for next year because I AM going to asylum 12.

I'll update properly about the panels and what Kim actually talked about in her coffee lounge later. For now, this is quite enough.

CHALLENGE 1 IS NOW UP

We are active. We're also still accepting new members so if you're full of feels about the finale now is a really good time to jump in and make some new friends and awesome fanworks.

So, I've calmed down a little. Just a little.

I'll probably post again before then but just in case if anyone wants tweets from asylum 10 this is me.

( Latest eps of Supernatural and con gifts under the cutCollapse )

ROB BENEDICT SAID ON HIS TWITTER THAT HE'S COMING TO A10.

I DON'T THINK ANY OF YOU REALLY APPRECIATE HOW MUCH I ADORE THIS MAN!

IT'S A LOT!

I literally saw someone refrence it on facebook, was like, oh, but they might be lying. Scroll, Emma! Quickly! Then I saw a screencap of the tweet and I literally did a little squeel and a flaily arm movement thing and qweponijqevnqewfpionqwefpniqewfpin I genuinely have so much love for this man, I do. AND THIS MEANS I CAN GET MY AMAZING PIC OF ME AND RICH AND ROB FROM A9 SIGNED BY BOTH OF THEM! The one where I have my arms around them like 'got my bitches'. I keep having to stop tying to breath. I'm fangirling so hard right now.

He might get up and sing! I NEED THAT. I don't think you understand how much I need that! I'm literally listening to his band right now. I love them.

I love him.

I just...I'm not going to be able to stop grinning all week. Luckily I work with young children so walking around grinning like an idiot is basically mandatory.

Now I need to freak out and make him a con gift asap. Luckily the replacement for the saw I broke on Sunday arrived this morning so I can again.

I just...npfeqongrpnjio

Sorry. I can't help myself.

Iron Man 3

I've seen it twice now so I can word with confidence. Click for spoilers.

( SpoilersCollapse )

A - Age: 27
B - Bed size: Double
C - Chore you hate: All of them. But if I could pick just one to remove from existence it would be washing the dishes.
D - Pet's name: Frankie
E - Essential start to your day item(s): Smoothie. I never used to do food or drink in the morning but now I have a smoothie and I enjoy that.
F - Favorite color: Purple.
G - Gold or Silver: Silver. Every time. I actually actively dislike gold most of the time. I can be persuaded for certain pieces and I don't mind it on rings but as a general rule, almost everything look's better in silver.
H - Height: 5 foot 6
I - Instruments you play(ed): None
J - Job title: Teaching assistant
K - Kisses or hugs: Both? Whatever's forthcoming? I mean, most people, hugs because I don't feel the need to kiss most people and if I had to sacrifice one I'd sacrifice kisses on the basis that I get hugs more (also, it's acceptable for my to ask Misha for a hug next week but it's not acceptable to tell him that a lj meme cursed me to not hug anyone and I can now only kiss)
L - Living arrangements: I live with my parents and my younger sister because my job doesn't pay very much and they live literally across the road from where I work.
M - Mood: Excited about the con
N - Nicknames: I've never had any. A few corruptions of my various screen names but never a nickname I've been called to my face.
O - Overnight hospital stays other than birth: A few years ago when I had that benign intercranial hypertension I was in for a few nights. Basically, I was getting a spot of flickering in my vision and coupled with a very bad cold so I went to a walk in center and the guy yelled at me until I cried (well done, nhs) so they send me up to the hospital who scanned me for tumours (my brain is perfectly normal) and struggled to do a lumber puncture then did one and confirmed my pressure in the fluid in my spine and around my brain was a little high. Then I got to go home with some blood pressure medication which I was on for about 6 months and I've been find since but, yeah, hospital overnight. It wasn't much fun, I don't know how anyone gets better in a hospital, they're not restful placed.
P - Pet Peeves: People who hate on characters or actors in fandom. Seriously, life's too short.
Q - Quote from a movie: "I recognise the council has made a decision, but given that it's a stupid-ass decision, I've elected to ignore it." is probably the one I used in real life most recently. Or the stupid ass decision part anyway. Avengers and the monty python films are the only ones I can quote of the top of my head.
R - Right or left handed: Right
S - Siblings: One younger sister.
T - Time you wake up: 8am. Benefit of living across the road from work.
U- Underwear: Yes. I wear it under my clothes. I might buy a new bra tomorrow. It's not very exciting.
V - Vegetable you dislike: Most of them. I don't like eating raw veg. I don't like sweet potato or beetroot. For years I wouldn't eat ANY veg but I'll try them not and I eat some regularly.
W - Ways you run late: Normally when I get over-confident and think I have plenty of time for something then it turns out I'm wrong. In general I'm on time for things. My dad raised me to be at least 15 minutes early for everything so I try to be on time.
X - X-rays you've had: Um, well I broke my right arm when I was a kid so presumably that. They x-rayed my left arm that time I accidentally stabbed myself so that (funny story, I was trying to make flapjack and instead got cake fit only for vampires, 3 stitches and a fake suicide scar. I still sometimes freak out at people cutting things or the sight of blood. It took me a good year and a half to give in and buy a sharp knife again). I had a chest x-ray a few years back to check my chest when I had a persistent cough (it was nothing) and I've had more dental x-rays then I can remember. I've also had a MRI of my brain as mentioned above.
Y - Yummy food you make: CAKE. I make good cake. Particularly carrot cake. It's been forever since I made one since I keep trying experiment cake. I should just give in and make carrot cake. In actual food, I'm good for a tasty soup. I make an acceptable mushroom risotto and a good spinach lasagne.
Z - Zoo favorite: I love going to the zoo. I like the bats XD Also komodo dragons are a favourite. LITTLE MONKEYS WITH LITTLE HANDS THAT ARE SO TINY OWN MY SOUL. I kind of like everything, you take me to a zoo and I revert to being about five.

Just head clearing.

( Cut for Supernatural fandom wankCollapse )

What I absolutely hate about all this is it makes me less excited for the con, which I paid a LOT of money for and have been REALLY looking forward to. I still am looking forward to it because at the end of the day what I'm really excited about is Richard Speight who definitely doesn't take himself seriously, Osric Chau who is adorable, Kim Rhodes and a hug from Misha. Oh, and listening to Mark Sheppard talk as that man is the best. I'm not going to let fandom wank ruin it for me but I might need to give tumblr up around other cons until then to make sure that happens.

I've got 9 sign-ups for my Supernatural land in the first 24 hours. I need more but 9 is not a bad start at all. I might start inviting people to the main and social comms on the weekend just so it doesn't look so abandoned.

I'm nearly better from my flu. Going to go back to work tomorrow. I know it's only one day until the weekend but whatever.

My new kindle arrived already. I was so happy I could cry.

I'm up to date with my gender in comic books course. Only 1 more week to go, which is sad but also good as I have a zillion other things to do. I should make a list again. A lot of them are con related. I need to get up early tomorrow to book reserved seating. Since I'm going alone I want to know I'll have a seat so I don't end up right at the back of the hall so it's an extra cost I'm just going have to cope with.

I'm thinking of going to see Iron Man 3 again this weekend. Haven't decided yet. We'll see.
