westmarked has requested more cat photos. Happy to oblige! In no particular order, some photos of Mary and Joe taken at Christmas 2014. If I can work out how to put a video on here I've got one of Joe chasing, catching and biting his tail!

Update
Right, so, I've been a bit busy over the last few months but I'm now making a renewed effort to get back to my LJ. One of my New Year's Resolutions ( Read more... ) -
STILL ALIVE!!!!!!!
I can't believe it's been nearly a year since I last posted here. Life has been rather crazy to say the least! First year of my MA, then level 3 BSL NVQ (which I passed without doing the taught section, just the assessment part, because it was decided that I was already up to level 3 standard), then back into the MA for my second year, the first ( Read more... ) -
Update-y thing
Gah! It's been 6 months since I last posted! Too busy with MA, BSL, school, larp, badminton, boyfriend, autism stuff, NCIS obsession... Don't think I've missed anything...

I'm alive!!!
Just a quick note to apologise for my several-months-long hiatus from here - MA coursework and all sorts of other things kinda got in the way, and having fibro and ME don't help.

Absence...
...Oh whoops, it's been multiple months since I last posted. Heck! I owe rule_number_7 a HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE apology for not sending a birthday card last month; I am useless!
I've mostly been AWOL because thanks to a certain person I am now hooked on NCIS fanfic and have dived back into the fanfic world, writing pretty much non-stop apart from when I'm playing ( Read more... ) -
Football season 2012-13
The fixtures for next season came out on Sunday. For as long as I can remember, the fixture list has been released on a Thursday in the middle of June at 10am. This year, bizarrely and for no reason I can think of, they were released on a Sunday at 9am. Yes, really. I had to double- and triple-check because Mum (understandably) didn't believe me. I ( Read more... ) -
TV: American Horror Story
I initially saw the trailers for this when it was first being shown, ages ago, but it was back when I was living in my flat and didn't have a Virgin Media box that I could record stuff on and I was out or something when it was on (I can't remember) so when FX started showing it again a couple of months ago, I jumped at the chance. It came across, ( Read more... ) -

Panel 4B - Harry Potter
- "'It's real for us': Secular Religiosity and JK Rowling's Harry Potter" is about the role of The Tales of Beedle the Bard and the impact it has had on Potterverse and the fandom as a whole. The text is a source of meaning and an expansion of canon, and is underlying culture, a foundational folk text in Harry's world. It is ( Read more... ) -
Folklore and Fantasy Conference 2012 - details (part 1)
I'm going to attempt to briefly summarise each talk and put random other comments in there. All whilst typing around the cat, who is asleep on my laptop's mouse pad...
Panel 1A - Victorian Fairies, the Gothic and Fairy Tale Formulas [sic - should be "formulae")
- "The Naked Fairy - a Victorian Fantasy" didn't happen because the speaker was ill.
