RL heavy. Also, reminiscing.

Guess where I'm updating this from? Yes, Teh Flat! I've spent my first night here last night actually :-) I officially took possession of the place at 6.00 PM when the Big Move ended. Man, when the family left and I found myself alone in my new home it felt weird! A wonderful kind of weird, mind, but twas weird all the same. Still is; I wonder how long the feeling will last *ponders*

Oh, and obviously the connexion is running :-) I'm using Charlie atm, Clark is still at home but he'll join me soon *longs for her Clark*

I've already started putting away my books and DVDs - as I suspected I'll need new shelves for the latter - but I was a bit too tired last night and I was away all day today so many things are still packed but I have time now that I'm here so I'll work on that this week *g*

And hey, wanna see my fridge? It's a slashy one:



I mentioned being quite nostalgic of those magnetic letters months ago and how I'd love to have some for my fridge at my place and a couple of days later my sister had bought some for me ♥ ♥ When the date of the BM approached, I decided it was time for them to see the light of day.

I could have chosen many things to put there - will do as the mood strikes, I guess - but then I remembered greedy_dancer telling me this would make a perfect tattoo for me and I couldn't resist :-)

As for some fannish things to end this, I watched a bit of Poltergeist: the Legacy last night - shut up - and I'd forgotten how young Nick looked! He was so baby-faced back then. Not that he looks old now but he's different. Also, watching the show again did bad things to me because all of a sudden I was thinking it would be a good idea to get the DVDs... even though I could never stand Derek, btw. And yes, I did use 'good idea' and 'poltergeist:the legacy dvds' in the same sentence, I'm just that wild! But I can't help it, I never missed an episode when they first aired it here...

Oh dude! I just reminded myself that this was, in fact, my very first fandom. The fandom that taught me what fanfiction was; the very first archive I ever discovered was a P:tl one, the very first - gen - story I ever read was a P:tl one *embarks on a little trip down memory lane*

*gasp* Omg! I have the urge to go and re-read the No Son of Mine trilogy! babycakesin! Remember Beijing and that time when I told the whole story to you? I kept interrupting my storytelling for fear of boring you to tears and you kept asking for what happened next and I kept going and going and it was just so awesome!

Ok, now I feel all verklempt *is all verklempt*

OK, that is an AWESOME FUCKING FRIDGE! *approves*

And hee, reminiscing about old fandoms is always such a bittersweet experience, isn't it? *loves fandom*

Hooray for new apartment!

I remember that feeling of "oh shit" when my mom and Dennis left me at my apartment in La Crosse. It was just... final. And yes, you do get used to it and IT'S FABULOUS to have your own place. :D

Hee, it's funny I was just thinking the other day how I wish they'd bring the other seasons of PTL out on DVD. PTL was my first fandom and what got me into slash so I'll always have a soft spot for it :D

[greedy_dancer]

hahaha, love the fridge! it's the same one i had in my previous flat. and the contrast btw the letters and the meaning is priceless! i am flattered to be associated with such a cool thing *g*

so when are we coming over, huh? when? when? when? *bounces around*

Pictures! We need pictures of your apartment!

And would you call me crazy if I told you that I was thinking of buying the Poltergeist DVDs too? I even put them on my Amazon wish list :D Because, dude, I loved Nick something fierce! And the beautiful relationship he had with the blond doctor (sorry, her name escapes me now) and her little daughter. Yay! So, lets be crazy together :P But I have ordered so many DVDs already... Eureka, The Dresden Files, The Magnificent Seven, LA Heat and of course, SUPERNATURAL :D

ohmygod yes! dude, do I remember! we were always staying a little behind the group so you could tell me stories! aaaaah Poltergeist... *happy sigh* this fic was actually the first fic I ever read, based on your recommendations *g*

which reminds me of a shocking conversation I witnessed between my sister and mother 10 days ago (I was next to them doing some sudoku):
mother: do you mind if we watch Supernatural?
sister: not at all, I love it! [insert shock number one]
mother: me too! [and then I suddenly understood why she would disappear every Saturday night after 10:30]
mother: it's not the best show, there are flaws, but I still like it a lot. It kinda reminds me of Poltergeist, in a way *to me* remember Poltergeist?
sister: yeah, or Highlander.
me: *gasps*

and I didn't even prompt anything lol

and now that you're officially moved in and you have a pretty new camera, could I see some pictures? pretty please?

That's a fine fridge!

And you slept in your flat! YAY!

Also. PtL!

OMG so much love for that show. And No Son of Mine. I may have damp eyes here. The start of my fanfic addiction. And yes, Derek was a dick but Nick loved Philip and it was a wonderful thing.

I've just tabbed that PtL archive. Just. I have love.

Just wanted to say congrats on the move! Don't worry. Once you get used to living alone, it's not that bad. I look at it as privacy. *g* I just LOVE your saying on your fridge. :-)
