1) camera: I mentioned a couple of weeks ago how I'd managed to find a second-hand version of my old camera on eBay and was excited that I'd managed to win it; it arrived on Saturday and it's rubbish. It's in a much worse condition than described, the lens doesn't work at all, the battery doesn't work at all, it seems to be a slightly different version than my old one and all the settings are in another language so I've no idea what I'm doing. I managed to get it to work once before I gave up in frustration. I've contacted the eBay seller but not heard back yet, and having spent so long looking for that replacement I'm pretty damn gutted.

2) work: Still part-time at work this week and the meeting last week with the management team that I mentioned was truly awful, but I have the support of my GP and my friends so am making the best of it. Should be back there full-time from next week, providing my GP okays it, but in the meantime am distracting myself with paperlegends stuff and watching re-runs of The West Wing which never fails to make me happy.

3) paper legends: Sign-ups for writers over at paperlegends closes today so tomorrow I'll be posting the full list of participating writers. Exciting and scary!

4) story: Remember I was asking if anyone could link me to a story I'd seen where Arthur and Merlin had kids at the same school and had noticed each other but each had assumed the other wasn't gay so hadn't made a move yet? I finally found out why I couldn't find it. It's because it hasn't been written yet; it's one of the sign-ups for paperlegends. At least I know I wasn't going crazy =)

3) h5o recs: I need some good H5O recs, specifically stories of Steve and Danny getting together as opposed to established relationships; can anyone help me out there?



*love and hugs to you all*

I'm sorry to hear about the camera. *hugs*

I hope that work can be full time again soon, and that you'll be doing fine. =)

I am so sorry about your camera. :( new ones seem to be crap... I bought myself an analogue one, but the film developing does cost quite a lot money too... what language is the camera? if it's german,I might be able to help out...

[chaosmaka.livejournal.com]

Ugh I hope they get back to you because of the crappy cam. Sucks!!

I AM EXCITE ;) :D PAPERLEGENDS :)

whattatwat re. the eBay seller :( I'm sorry the camera didn't live up to the expectations! Hopefully something else will turn up. *hugs*

Good luck with work; I hope it all works out and remember to take care of yourself ♥

Love you.

Eesh, I'm sorry to hear that the camera turned out like that. I hope you can either get it working or at least hear back from the seller. *crosses fingers*

I'll also cross my fingers that work hours pick up ASAP for you :)

That's pretty shitty thing with your camera. I know I'm being completely naive, but I can never understand why people cheat like that. I mean, I get that they are assholes, but just - why?
I really hope you'll get this solved. If the seller don't reply, try complaining to eBay. I never had to use it, but eBay has some sort of buyer protection system.

As for the H5O recs - check bluespirit_star journal. She posted quite a lot of them in recent months. I'm sure you'll find something interesting :)

*hugs*

Argh! Did you use Paypal? I know from the world of Blythe dolls that Paypal are AWESOME when it comes to dodgy sellers.

I'm glad to know you have the support of your GP and your friends. That's great :) ::hugs::

Hahaha, so who do we have to convince to finish Paperlegends so you can read the story? Also YAY. I need to write more of mine; I've only done a few thousand words.

Bah! That really sucks about the camera :(

I got completely ripped off from eBay before and I haven't used it since then (I buy everything from amazon instead). Anyway, I hope for your sake that its able to get sorted.

Are you off work because of your surgery, or for another reason? (Well, not off, but there less.) I'm sorry; I feel terrible. I've been an awful friend and barely been online in the last couple of months, so I feel so out of the loop. *hugs*

Anyway, I hope you'll be back working full time soon!

Lastly, yay for paperlegends being a good distraction for you. I have a few hours left to make up my mind about it this year, but I'm looking forward to the results either way :)

*sends love* ♥

[valika56.livejournal.com]

Good luck with your camera and work, too! *HUGS*

Paperlegends, yes! We're all excited, trust me.:)

Instead of a fic, I'm reccing you a H5O/SGA crossover video, it's really great: http://galadriel34.livejournal.com/38667.html

[huntress1013.livejournal.com]

Damn, damn, damn. That totally sucks =( :hugs: I am so sorry that your ebay bargain turned out to be such a disaster =(

[moyawyvern.livejournal.com]

I am really sorry about the camera. I hope you are able to get in contact with the seller.

I hope going back to work full time works out well for you, and it is good you have friends and fic to distract you.

If you need anything, please let me know.

*hugs*

OMG your camera D=

Wahh it's been a month already and I'm not up to my quota - oh balls! That fic summary sounds like I could really enjoy that.

So sorry to hear about the camera :( I truly can't understand people who can't be honest about what they are selling. I hope you'll be able to get it to work or at least get your money back from the seller if everything else fails. Also, good luck with the work situation! Stuff like that is so very stressful.

*hugs*

I hope by now you've resolved your camera problem! The worst thing (even worse then not receiving a purchase) is getting a dud one :(

2) Hope you're starting to feel much better now. At lease you have something to help occupy your mind.

3- but should be 5?) I haven't gotten around to watching H5O. I've been meaning too, especially since I've a HUGE fan of Alex O'Loughlin since he was in Moonlight (and he was in the Aussie mini-film Mary Byrant!) I know bluespirit_star writes some! Her list can be found here: (http://community.livejournal.com/starshinedreams/92510.html)

[prfctdaze.livejournal.com]

Oh, no. That sucks about the camera :( Hopefully the seller has gotten back with you and you can get a refund or something.

So you start back this coming week full-time? I'm sending you lots of positive and happy thoughts, sweetie, that things go well. *huuuuugs*
