This weeks randomish update...

[the_muppet]

1. I'm back playing tennis and loving it! Well okay 'loving it' might be a slight exaggeration as my body is still in shock from all the activity, but hey, it's good fun and I get to run around and laugh a lot all at the same time so it's not all bad =) Must really try to remember though not to get distracted by ogling the hot boys who often come play on the court next to us. Actually, scrap that. Must really try not to get so distracted by them that I actually hit them with my ball. Quite hard too. Because that? That is seriously embarrassing, no matter how amused they are by it. *facepalm*

2. Day off work tomorrow! Will be playing tennis (feels my body seize up at the mere thought) and then mostly doing boringly geeky things like finding iconning inspiration (though not sure where it's hiding right now so it will need hunting down), setting up merlin_sceneit (because today is a 'yes I'll do it' day though that might change by tomorrow) and possibly setting up one or more Gmail accounts. If I can think of a username. Which - I can't. Have been playing around with variations of muppet and paper and/or paper packages and also words I like such as book, free, soul, time, &etc and anagrams of geeky things like Merlin - but nada. So in theory, most of tomorrow will likely be spent just repeatedly headdesking. Awesome.

3. Have been catching up on my shows lately. Sadly Numb3rs is boring the hell out of me right now so I really do hope that changes soon. I'm still loving Life but miss Reese and the dynamic between her and Crews. Chuck is still gloriously awesome and I love it to pieces - seriously, if you don't watch it already, what are you waiting for?! And finally caught up with the last couple of Supernatural episodes this weekend which I loved and nope, I am not reading or getting into any of the negative blah going on in some of fandom right now over this show. Do not attempt to suck away my Supernatural joy - you will fail. Oh, and Castiel is pure ♥

4.Merlin night tonight with deans_babe because she wants to become better acquainted with the boys and their big shiny gay love. Well, who wouldn't?

5. And finally - a couple of wonderful Merlin fic recs for those interested:

♥ Teaching the Indie Kids to Joust Again
by bookshop | The summary she has listed just DOES NOT do justice to how amazing this story is. Really. And quite honestly, I can't think of anything I can say to do justice to it either, so trust me and just go read it. It's quite possibly THE best Colin/Bradly RPF I've read and... it's absolutely wonderful =) { RPF | Bradley/Colin }

♥ Safeguard + sequels (Protector & Providence) by solarcat05 | These are short but lovely. Here are the author summaries numbered by fic: 1. Where's that pretty servant of yours, eh? 2. I don't like to share. 3. Arthur felt the cold steel slide between his ribs, shred his heart and tear through his lung. { PG-13-R | Merlin/Arthur }

That's all - another randomly pointless update and if you expected anything else... then do you not know me at all?

yay for days off of work and tennis :) good for you hon :)

OMG Castiel is love :))

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I'm quite a sad muppet really as I've specifically booked the day off for geeky computery things which I'm not finding the time to do otherwise =)

And yes, Castiel is bloody fantastic!

*hugs*

[kimberweeme.livejournal.com]

Ah, tennis. I am so not coordinated enough for that sport. Or any sport, really.

I still haven't caught up on Numb3rs, but I totally agree with you about Life. I miss Reese! Reese and Charlie together were an awesome duo.

Finally, I love Castiel. A lot.

*hugs*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I love playing tennis, though I think we don't take it as seriously as we should if the amount of laughing is any indicator! And the distractions of hot boys playing on the adjacent courts, of course...

I'm hoping Reese will be back next season - if there is a next season?

Castiel is ♥. No question.

*hugs*

Have been playing around with variations of muppet and paper

PaperyMuppet?... *lol* Sorry, I'm in kind of giddy state now, no idea why =)

Enjoy your day off. And don't even try not to ogle pretty boys. You'll end up doing it anyway *snickers*

Btw - I just love how Castiel looks at Dean. Like a kicked puppy. Like he's been trying to say "Why you don't love me?"
And no, I really don't slash those two =)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I thought about all those variations and decided I just didn't like any of them - which is why I was trying to come up with soemthing else like an anagram or something pretty-sounding or.. I really don't know =)

Playing tennis at 4pm tomorrow, pretty much prime-time for pretty boys, and of course I'll ogle, I'll just try really hard not to actually injure any of them whilst I'm ogling, hence drawing attention to myself and my very obvious ogling =P

Castiel clearly adores Dean - and whther you slash them or not I think that's true - it's like the Dean/Sam relationship in a way, Castile does try to look out for Dean, but it's like he's conficted that he's feeling that way. Not very articulate but I think you get what I mean =)

Y'know - I've been wondering how many update posts it'll be before I actually don't use the 'merlin is love' tag!

*hugs*

Y'know - I've been wondering how many update posts it'll be before I actually don't use the 'merlin is love' tag!

Very, very many, I'd say =)

*hugs*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, many, many more =)

Btw - did you read the RPF fic I recced above yet? You'd love it =)

[from-the-corner.livejournal.com]

Not yet. Too long to read it off screen. I'm planning to print it tomorrow :)

[ansku]

Papermuppet? Muppetpaper? Muppetpackages? ^.^

*squeezes*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've tried all those and decided I didn't like them - am just way, way too picky!

*heffa hugs*

[solar-cat.livejournal.com]

Oh, man! You recced me alongside bookshop??? The rec alone is such a compliment; I don't even have words for being placed in that sort of company! =DDDD

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

*makes up for lack of words with lots of ♥ *


(CAS IS LOVE. YES. <3)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

You're absolutely welcome - I totally loved all three parts of your fic and more people should read it if they haven't already =)

And yes, Cas is ♥

[suzyx.livejournal.com]

Tennis is fun.... and oooh, hot boys! Go you! :D

Have a great day off tomorrow. *hugs*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Tennis and hot boys (and geeky things) = a good day today I think =)

*hugs*

[bellasianna.livejournal.com]

I'm off to read the fic reccs because it so beats work lol

And I agree about Reese! Please don't make her evil :'(
Also SPN - yeah fanwank is just tiresome. I just wanna watch the show and love it. K?

Now... come here Bradley.... mwahahahah ;)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I'm sat here iconning as I finally seem to have found some inspiration. Not saying it's good inspiration *lol* but you can't be choosy, right? =)

I really like Reese - I don't think they'll make her evil and I really hope she's back next season. And I'm so generally clueless I had no idea she was pregnant! It's not the same without her, that dynamic is a big part of why the show works so well - for me, anyway.

Oh those fics are great - the Merlin/Arthur one is three parts but they're all short and just so sweet. And the RPF? Wow. Just... wow. Let me know what you think =)

Oh - and glad to see you're doing as requested and keeping your eyes solely on Bradley ;)

*hugs*

[bellasianna.livejournal.com]

Sarah Shahi is pregnant?!
*pays membership dues to Clueless Club*
lol
Also - it finally makes sense of that ridiculous storyline! I do like the moments where Crews and the Captain are all 'I miss Reese' awww

You know when Mrs Lewis was in those eps it was just weird... I just can;t see her with Damien at all lol
I do like that new detective woman from the last ep, but I kinda wanted the old partner to stay with him (see I remember NO names lol)
Wonder if it will go like Bones this season - rather than replacing a well loved cast member they just have a 'guest' actor every week instead... How many detectives can Crews make crazy!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

*is more clueless than you*

Why? Because I had no idea his wife had been in it till you said that and I just went off and googled her! *lol*

So how you going with the fics?

[bellasianna.livejournal.com]

Ah! Wifey. Yes. I remember her from when she was cast as Bellatrix Lestrange in the Potter movies then had to pull out cos Damo got her preggers lol

I just read the one with the giant phallic beanstalk and I am awwwwwwwwwwwwing madly ♥
Off to read the other one now :D

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

It's bloody fantastic, isn't it?! Just so much about it that I love =)

[aramley.livejournal.com]

Wait, wait, are you saying that tennis isn't all about hot boys? Damn it!

;D

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Oh no, it's all about the hot boys - but also remembering not to get so distracted by them that you cause them actual physical harm with your balls.

Which sounds a lot ruder than it actually is.

=)

paperpp, muppetpackage, papermuppet and papermuppets were all free when I was fiddling. :P

Meh, I was bored. Tennis is fun; wish I had people to bang a ball about with.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I've decided now that if I can't have 'muppet' then I don't want muppet in it at all - pedantic, huh?

You're welcome to play tennis with me any time - bit of a long way to come though =)

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

yeah, I need to come out of my hermit shell enough to get some friends here.
