tattooedsirenI havent been posting much this ... year. I've gone to post an entry a few times, but I don't really know what to say. I'm not sure anyone really cares about my personal life anymore (and I genuinely do not mean that to come off as whiny so apologies if it has). And then I don't know what fandomy things to write about. So I thought I would make a post that includes a little bit of real life and a bit of fandom and see how I go.

Not much to report. Last month has been crazy with various "milestone" birthdays, which have now thankfully ceased and my weekends have become my own again. :O)
My younger sister is pregnant and is due on December 18 (Christmas baby! LOL) However yesterday she was told there was something out of the ordinary on her scan and is going to see a specialist who deals with the genetics side of things for more information. I never normally do this but can you please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
My flatmate has been driving me insane the last couple of months because she has essentially stopped doing any housework. When she first moved in it was an implied thing that Sunday mornings were housecleaning time. But then she just started not being around at that time (and not doing anything at other times). Then with the aforementioned birthday parties and things I was around on weekends even less and she still did nothing.
(The best example of this: it was my niece's 2nd birthday party on Sunday and since my sister is pregnant I was helping her out quite a lot - I did some baking at my parents house on Saturday, went to E's house before the party to help cook some more and clean up, then went home just to shower and change and went back to E's to help set up for the party, then after the party I stayed to help clean up. So I was essentially gone from about 9am to 6pm. When I got home, flatmate still hadnt done any cleaning, despite the fact that apart from attending said party she was home all weekend. So I started cleaning - 15 minutes later she came home, but ate her dinner and did her washing and cleaned her room - didnt help with any of the household cleaning.)
Last weekend on Sunday morning, after doing quite a lot of the cleaning, I left the house to meet some friends for lunch and as I left asked her to do the vacuuming. When I got home late that arvo you could barely tell she had done anything. The mud she had tracked into the house was gone, but you could still see a lot of crap on the floor. When I asked if she had cleaned she said, "yeah, not that you can tell huh" and then implied that because the new vacuum isn't as powerful as the old one that's why she did such a piss-poor job. I mean, yeah, I'll admit it, the new vaccum is not as powerful as the old one, and yet when I vacuum and put a bit of time and effort into it, it looks okay.

I am going to see Love Never Dies tonight. Possible report to follow tomorrow.
Fandom:
I'm loving Downton Abbey. I watched the first episode when it aired here a few weeks back and then downloaded the whole rest of the series and watched it in one day. Bates/Anna are my new OTP. They are so beautiful. Can't wait for season two.
I saw X-Men and did actually come out of it shipping Charles/Erik. James McAvoy has crazy chemistry with just about everyone he ever acts with, but this was something else. Have been perusing the kink meme and me likes it.
Luther has started up again. First ep was good but needed more Alice. And I love Luther and Mark being friends now. If you havent seen the first series I highly recommend it.
Um, I think that's all really. Drop me a line if you are still around and let me know whats happening on your end.
