I'll be off to Dreamwidth as a sole journal in a few days' time, for the standard reasons, and with the standard feelings of loss and nostalgia. I'm puddingcat there too, if anyone wants to find me, and have imported all entries before this one.
Mostly, I'm mourning the enormous collection of fic I have in memories here, that haven't made it to either DW or AO3, and which (in several cases) have been deleted already. First world problems, and all that.

I've just caused a Mexican stretch. (Which is not a racist term, hurrah! I feared, because of English -> Irish "jokes" and a vague memory that US -> Mexican are similar.)
I stretched my foot, because Elsa was lying on it and had surreptitiously rearranged my toes into positions more comfortable for her.
Elsa stretched, presumably because my toes moving without her permission woke her up.
Ripley stretched, because Elsa had stretched and she has too little brainpower to think for herself.
Gambit stretched, because Ripley had stretched into him.
Unfortunately, being touched by one of the girls means PLAYTIME for Gambit. All three of them are now looking rumpled and slightly offended at various points not on the sofa.

This idea popped up on FB today & for a change I've decided to give it a go. I have long enough that I'll need to average one thing every 2 months, so it seems possible.
( Ideas so far!Collapse )
Suggestions for the rest are welcome & will be considered, however off the wall they are! I'm not promising anything, though ;)
I'm writing all these in a tiny Paperblank notebook - it's A7 and I'm putting each thing on a separate sheet, so I have room for thoughts / ideas / etc. It feels very grown up & not at all my usual lurching from crisis to crisis, leaving a trail of destruction in my wake, car crash of a lifestyle. You never know, I might end up actually feeling half way to being a grown up by the end of this.
(Edited for suggestions so far.)

I went to see this last night, and it's brilliant. I'm not a huge Tom Hardy fan (I don't dislike him at all; I love his attitude re Mad Max, but I don't go all weak at the knees) but he was absolutely amazing.
About the only thing that spoiled it for me was getting distracted looking at the 2 sets of makeup used to make each of the twins look subtly different; it was absolutely flawless. They'd even managed to give them different scars (not from in-film injuries; old, healed ones).
Yes, there's violence; in terms of goriness it's not half as bad as some 15s, but because it's so realistic (i.e. not ridiculous over the top fantasy one-shot-and-they're-dead minimally bloody fantasy style, it's a lot more affecting and very believable.
( Spoilers & content warningCollapse )
I don't think I want it on DVD; it's in no way a fun or feelgood film, so I can't think when I'd feel like rewatching. That doesn't stop it being very, very good.

Copypasting from FB because I'm not rewriting all this.

Feeling like you're drifting all alone in the once-fun-but-now-too-quiet pool of Livejournal? Not to worry!
silviarambles is running a friending meme! Friending Meme for LJ Survivors - 2015 Re-edition
Please remember that friending frenzies work only if you spread the word, so, even if you're not looking for more friends, would you mind doing me a big favour and pimping the meme on your own journals?
Thanks!
My ETA The way it works: The link takes you to
silviarambles, the host. In the comments, you answer a set of questions (provided). People read your answers & reply if they want to friend you. Easy!( Wisery & moe ahead; many MH issues and a bit of TMI.Collapse )
TL;DR: I'm hanging on with my fingernails. I hate being like this.
