triple_flameOh yeah, that was the other thing I meant to say yesterday...the intense discomfort caused by my body screwing me about once more...
When you've been taking the same pill for god knows how long and you've got used to the general routine of it you get kinda paranoid when it suddenly changes...Now I know I couldn't be bothered dealing with being on and having an evil cold last month so I skipped it but that usually makes it heavier the next month. Add that to the fact that I missed the first one of this month somehow and I know there was playing within the week - NOT getting into details here but unless they're damn strong swimmers that shouldn't have done anything either! The fact that thursday passed and no blood was fairly normal, friday and still nothing was not unheard of and kind of a relief. Saturday and still nothing was beginning to get really worrying...
My mum of course had had the same thought as me and voiced said concern...That made it worse. I don't know if this is just me but I always feel like something inside of me will know if I am and if I don't the cards will at least give me a hint. Then again the Lovers coming up first didn't exactly make me feel any more secure - sometimes I think they do it just to worry me! Chatting to a Muppett didn't work either, he was of the general opinion that it wasn't physically possible...Ok I suppose it wasn't but there's always accidents and logic does not a good paranoia break.
Anyway, long story short, as of mid-morning today everything is clear again...I never thought I'd actually be GLAD to start!
I've managed to get some work done on Goddess which is good, I may even keep some of it. I have to get around to typing it all up at some point but I want to work it through some more first...
*Remembers*
THAT was the other reason I came online, I want to print the first section off so I can check it again, I keep forgetting things.
Absolutely nothing on Geyamir but that might come in time, I'm still trying to decide whether or not I need a race of Samurai bird-men. I kept trying ot convince myself that I didn't then figured that if I was having to try that hard amybe it meant they wanted to be there...Ah well.
I've had a bit of a rant on the NW list, I'm getting so fed up of people comparing Phantom to the FG trilogy. Yes there are similar themes there but as I pointed out you can find those themes in pretty much any romance...
I still haven't gotten to see the film which I'm
mightily grumpy about but I've read the novel and
listened to the original soundtrack (The West End
production with Michael Crawford as the Phantom) more
times than I can remember.
For all of you who have seen the film and loved it I
can't recomend the stageshow soundtrack enough. If
there have been songs missed from the movie trust me
you may have missed a treat.
>From a purely personal point of view, if I was going
to compare Phantom to any of LJS's books it would be
Dark Angel. In my opinion the only links to FG are
the same ones you can draw between it and any romance.
There's the dark brooding exotic love interest who is
dangerous and incredibly bad for the heroine; then
there's the handsome but slightly ineffectual hero who
she is fond of but spends most of the book spurning in
favour of excitement... Call me cynical but that
could be the basic plot for any Mills and Boon type
trashy romance (not that I've ever read any of them
you understand).
I honestly think that the important links between one
book and another are in the little things not the
broad plot elements.
I don't intend any offence to anyone by this post,
just my opinions shaded by a stressful week.

Ahrien
Yes I'm known as Ahrien there. It's quite worrying how many different tags I have online!
I should probably have mentioned WHY I pointed them at DA but I was irritated. It's not exactly tough to figure out anyway.
Faerie War continues to be interesting in a shouty kind of way. Personally I think a Mike should come play again since I'd love to hear Sarin's POV on all of it but... *shrugs*
Anyway, I should be gone, we're headed to the Indian tonight which will be nice. I need to go change my top and probably put my hair up so I don't get sauce in it...it's just been washed so it's currently everywhere.
*pixie dust*
Oh and walks are good...need to walk more...need to find somewhere around Nuneaton that isn't all built up and crappy.
And we found a few more skellies in the family tree, on my mum's side again. I discovered why my Nanna and Grandad weren't married. He was seeing a girl (obviously not my Nanna) and she lied to him, told him that she was pregnant to get him to marry her. She DID fall pregnant a little while later but that was beside the point. When he met Nanna his wife wouldn't give him a divorce so that he could re-marry...bitch! So as it turned out although Nanna nursed him through his illness and was with him when he died all of his war pension and the widow's rights went to the woman who had tricked him into a marriage he didn't really want! People suck!
