1) fic rec: I know I haven't recced in a while and I'm ridiculously late in reccing this particular story, but if you've not yet read Think Less and See It Grow then you really, really should. It's a Merlin/Arthur boarding school AU and it's totally wonderful ♥
2) new moon: Went to see New Moon last Friday and can't decide whether I'm relieved it was better than Twilight (which was truly atrocious) or disappointed that it wasn't as crackily bad as the book. Either way, Kristen Stewart still can't act at all.
3) lottery: I won the lottery! Sort of. My friend Sam put a lucky dip lottery ticket in my birthday card and I got 4/6 numbers. That'd normally be about £70 apparently but so many people won that day it was £19 - which is still pretty wonderful =)
4) bradley/colin: Really enjoyed the triple bill of Merlin/Bradley & Colin this weekend - could they be any more adorkable?
5) flist cut: Did another flist cut this weekend. Hate doing them. Still wussed out and didn't cut as many as I was going to. Am equally wussy when wanting to friend new people too. Why so pathetic, me?

And congrats on you win. I keep thinking about playing the lottery, but then I think the money I spend on tickets could go on something else.

I was well chuffed with the lottery win as I don't play myself and honestly didn't think I'd match any numbers; lovely surprise =)

honeymoonroad trip thingy! was it as awesome as i hope it was?& i think i'm just as shy as you when it comes to friending/defriending people. i always think ages about it until i actually manage to friend anyone... and then sometimes i don't manage it at all :/
also: WHEE! you won the lottery :D that sounds awesome!

I'm so pathetic about friending new people that often I end up debating it for so long and then just end up not doing it. Me = total wuss.
Am very happy with my lottery winnings =)

Oh good. I'm not the only one who thinks so.
I'm still undecided as to whether to see New Moon or not. And not because want to see it, but more just to be up with all the stuff my school kids are talking about. Honestly... they come up to me ask if I'm Team Edward or Team Jacob. I say... Well. Who has the hottest body?? Um... Hee! That shuts them up pretty quick.... (They say Jacob but they also say he's too young for me so I'd be better to go for Edward. HA!)
And yay for winning money on your birthday!! I hope you had a good one darlin'.
So I'm kinda curious about flist cutting. I've never done it, (well, one person) but I just leave it alone. I forget about it mostly. Is it to make your friends page more manageable? I suppose I should look at it..... I think I'm a wuss too actually.

Flist cutting: it really is to make the reading more manageable plus if you constantly skip past certain people's entries all the time and never read them - and they never interact with you either - then what's the point keeping them on your flist. My flist is about the stuff I'm interested in reading and who I want to share stuff with, not how many 'friends' I've got - I'd rather do flist cuts (even though I hate them) than keep skimming some people's entries because I just don't read them anymore. I probably should have cut more people too this time round, but like I said; I'm a wuss =)

It's good to hear "New Moon" is not that bad. I have no idea how KS could go through any screen tests and be the best of other possible actresses. It's truly beyond my imagination ;)

New Moon was a better film that Twilight for sure and I'm also glad I wasn't the only one in the cinema chuckling in inappropriate places and not taking it at all seriously ;)

The roadtrip needed to have been an hour and a half longer! I could just watch them, forever, really. And the return of 'You're The Voice' in S&M (S&M, TEEHEE *is twelve*)! I watched the end of that bit about a dozen times. John Farmer, oh Colin! HEE.
I've only got a handful of friends so I've never had to do a cut, but I'm with you on being wussy about friending people! Even though there's really nothing at stake it still seems like such a Big Decision.

That was hilarious - I'm not even sure they acheived anything they actually set out to acheive!
Aw, I'm super glad you took the plunge there!
Definitely one of my best decisions there ♥

Yay lottery win! Unexpected money is the best kind! :D
Oh, I'm so with you on the flist terror. I've never done a flist cut, but I'd be just the same, and it takes me so long to work up the nerve to friend new people I usually just end up not doing it and being a scary lurker instead D:

I'm so cautious about friending new people too -- what's with that?

No I didn't! I'd have thanked you if I had - I'll let you know when it arrives =)

I haven't read nor seen any of the Twilight series. I just...I don't know. I heard not-so-favorable things about the books and it kind of put me off the films. But, hey, cracky entertainment has its merits ^_^
Woot! for lottery winnings :D
OMG! I'm still reeling over the Merlin fandom goodness from the past couple of days. Just when I think they can't be any more appealing to me, I find out they can, in fact.
I like a smaller friends list. Not so much because it's more manageable (even though it is) but I want to have interaction with the people on my list. I have wussed out, though, lately, on friending a couple of people I think are interesting. They are in the Merlin fandom but I still feel like I'm on the fringe of the fandom. So I'm hesitant to branch out. You are my only LJ friend who is really into Merlin. Most everyone else is just like, "Oh, that's nice...blah, blah, whatever" when I post about anything Merlin related. Oh, well.
I'm glad you're on my flist! *hugs*

If you read the Twilight series as bad crack!fic and don't take it at all seriously, it can be highly amusing =)
I know what you mean; just when you think that Bradley & Colin can't possibly be any more adorkable... they are!
Not so much because it's more manageable (even though it is) but I want to have interaction with the people on my list.
It's really both those reasons for me - I hate scrolling past the same posts every time plus I want to be interacting with my flist, otherwise what's the point of having them around?
I'm glad to be your Merlin person!

Congrats on the lottery!!! $19 is better than nothing! (sorry I don't have the symbol for pounds on easy access on this computer)
I still haven't seen the road trip/legend or merlin and arthur.. I really should get to it!! Again time is a factor.. I'm doing 113hr fortnights (that are paid... plus extra overtime!!) and tomorrow I'm on for a 16 hours shift :S
Glad it sounds like your week is much better than mine!
From:
no subject
£19 is great, I was well chuffed =)
Sorry to hear you're so busy right now; hope the money at the end of it will make it all worthwhile though - plus you'll have lots of Merlin goodies to catch up with when you're finished, so something else to look forward to =)
*hugs*
