I promised a couple of you a post so here you go:


1) camera: Following the demise of my beloved Canon IXUS 70 camera just before Christmas, I've been browsing on eBay to see if I can find a second-hand one, and yesterday, by some complete and utter fluke, I managed to win one! This one only had 25 minutes left to bid when I found it and I'd bid on two others before this one with no success, so wasn't holding out much hope. What's even better though? I got this one for less that the other two I'd tried to get. Hopefully it'll be here sometime next week and I cannot wait to start taking pictures again. Can't really afford it despite how cheaply I got it, but I've really missed my camera.

2) gym: Am not at work at the moment for a little while so am trying to go to the gym every day, which is a bit hard for several reasons, not least of which is that I've not been in weeks and weeks so my body is now in shock a little. Am only doing about an hour or so each time right now, but at least it's something, and I hope to maintain it if I can when I'm back at work, even if it won't be every day.

3) paper legends: Sign-ups are going exceptionally well for paperlegends so if you've not already checked it out (and signed up!) then head on over. Fantastic take-ups so far and still another two weeks before the first sign-ups (writer and cheerleaders) close. Currently my happy quiet hiding place ♥

4) cartoon: For those of you who've not seen this yet, this is the FANTASTIC cartoon which adelagia drew for me to mark the opening of this years paperlegends sign-ups; you can shower praise on her at her post here. She was my self-appointed cheerleader for last years Big Bang and she kept me sane, which was no small task, and looks like she's going to be as awesome a cheerleader this year as she was last. This isn't the first cartoon she's drawn for me (I keep them all) but I think it's probably my favourite so far:







Hope you're all doing okay ♥

I have it on my wall here at home, next to the the print-out of this years BB schedule; makes me smile =)

*hugs lots*

[ella-bane.livejournal.com]

THAT IS THE BEST CARTOON EVER. EVER OF ALL TIME.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

She's pretty amazing and I have all her cartoons either here at home or on the wall at work, to make me smile and help get me through the day =)

[padfootie.livejournal.com]

The cartoon is SO cute! ♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

She's so talented =)

[rae1013.livejournal.com]

\o/ You got a new camera! Yayz!

I can't believe you go to the gym voluntarily. *shudders* I need to actually do stuff with that exercising thing I've heard about but, yeah. DO. NOT. WANT.

That Merlin comment is epic. Shall go tell the artist now. =)

<3

And by comment I, of course meant cartoon. I'm blaming the drugs. *blushes*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I'm so happy about the camera, and I know it's years old but I don't care, I loved my old camera and was comfortable with how it worked =)

Sort of voulntarily, yes. Sometimes I even enjoy it. A bit.

She is truly amazing and yes, go tell her just how talented she it =)

Glad the drugs are working, hope you're doing okay and still letting your mum do everything for you ♥

[rae1013.livejournal.com]

hope you're doing okay and still letting your mum do everything for you

Letting her? *laughs* Forcing her is more like it. I've told her she should feel privileged at having the honor of bringing me soup and making me tea. Her glare was quite humorous. =)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

She should feel incredibly lucky to be allowed to serve you =)

[coffeejunkii.livejournal.com]

that's such an adorable comic!! i'm glad to hear the sign-ups are going well :)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Thanks =)

[nicole9514.livejournal.com]

yay for new camera :)

i think one hour at the gym everyday is wonderful hon :)

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I'd hope an hour a day will at least see a little weight loss eventually =)

[nimielle.livejournal.com]

This has nothing to do with your post, but I just wanted to walk in and hug you!

*hugs*

There.

I am doing good, my muse owns my life and for the first time in years, I am writing fic again... also, for the first time ever, I've produced over 12K words in writing.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

*hugs back*

Glad to hear things are going well for you and that you're writing again =)

[adelagia.livejournal.com]

Yay for a new camera, and high five for more gym time! Maybe before you know it it'll become a habit you can't break :)

Yes, I intend to cheerlead the hell out of you this year as well :)

♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

A habit I can't break huh? Don't think you've really been listening to me, have you? =)

I think I may add that cartoon to the profile page - what do you think?

I couldn't have got through last years BB without you and I'm incredibly lucky to have you as my cheerleader ♥

[adelagia.livejournal.com]

Oh, y'know, just being optimistic :)

It would be a wildly incredible honour to have the cartoon up on the profile page :) Up to you, of course; it's your comm! I'm just happy my silly comics make you happy!

♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I'll get it done today at some point, and pimp on the comm next week when I do a bit of a housekeeping post =)

Congratulations on your ebay bid. I haven't been to ebay in ages. I am alright, just incredibly busy with work and I should really get back to that advisory opinion I am writing and which has to be finished till Monday. I am not used to all those tight deadlines :sighs: Also I just had a bout of headache but strangely enough it went away on its own. Thank goodness.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

First time I've ever bid on anything on eBay so I'm happy - just hope I've done everything right and the camera actually works and I've not been ripped off!

Sorry to hear you're so busy right now and hope things ease up for you a bit soon *hugs*

[el1ie.livejournal.com]

Oh, isn't that cartoon the cutest? Talented flisties you have my friend.

You've been doing the gym everyday? Go you, makes me feel like a slovenly cow sitting here...

AND YOUR CAMERA?? Yay! It must be wonderful to be expecting something new that's also so familiar, take it down to the beach and get a shot of the sea for me soon yes?

Take care - *hugs you*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

It's incredibly amazing =)

Yep, every day (which obviously has been hard but that's the point) and am off again in a little while.

I'm so, so happy about the camera; let's just hope I've not been ripped off or anything =/

Take care of you hon ♥

[vita-candeo.livejournal.com]

Awesome comic *major hugs*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Isn't it great?

*hugs muchly*

[psycho-warbaby.livejournal.com]

Good to hear things are going relatively well for you! I have much respect for anyone who goes to the gym, especially on a regular basis... I have tried but I could never really bring myself to go more than once in a year!

Hugs! Glad to hear from you again!

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to maintain going as much as possible, even though I'm not the fittest person in the world.

Good to hear from you too =)

♥

[dentedsky.livejournal.com]

I always secretly love it when I haven't been to the gym for ages and then I go, and I feel SO SORE for days and days after, hee.

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

That's probably the nicest part, knowing that you've actually done and acheived something =)

[nahara.livejournal.com]

So much love for that comic strip. It made me smile so much!

Speaking of paperlegends . . . I am so BLOWN OVER by how many people have signed up this year. It's insane and amazing and I'm flailing pretty hard. I remember when this fandom was the size of a postage stamp. *tears up* Look at it now, all grown up.

And: Yay for gym-ing! GO YOU! \o/

♥

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I adore all the comic strips she does for me =)

It's certainly been a surprise how many sign-ups there are this year - only a couple more weeks and we'll know the final tally.

Gym again this morning. Still a struggle geting there but I guess that's the point, and at least I'm going.

♥

[prfctdaze.livejournal.com]

Congrats on the new camera! Hope you get it soon so you can start taking photos again. I know you've missed it.

I'm glad to hear you're starting back to the gym. *high five*

LOL Cute cartoon :D

*hugs*

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

Just waiting for the PaYPal money to go through then hopefully I'll get my camera in a week or so? I don't know, haven't got anything off eBay before =)

Gym again today, so it's going well so far.

Amazing cartoon, she's so talented =)

*hugs muchly*

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

That comic is adorable! :D

[the-muppet.livejournal.com]

I know =)
