Due to the capriciousness of the weather, I had nowhere exciting to be for New Year, and celebrated by drawing penguin!Holmes and penguin!Watson... IDEK. There was a kink meme involved.
I've been immersing myself in the Holmes fandom lately, and my comrade in arms directed me to these absolutely fantastic drawings, called Dr Watson's Inner Monologue, and they're beautiful and heartbreaking and oh. There are also links to a series of accompanying drabbles, which are well worth reading.
It is xxamlaxx 's birthday tomorrow, and since I am too far away to gift her with sexual favours, I dedicated myself and my somewhat tattered voice to recording a special birthday present for her:
It's 2.30am and I've been up because I've been reading the wonderful and epic Roman Story by olympia_m . I'm not even finished, but I do have classes tomorrow so I may have to call it a day.
It's brilliant, but completely addictive. DON'T START READING IF YOU'RE NOT PREPARED TO DEVOTE SOME SERIOUS TIME TO IT. It reminds me of my good old days of reading fic when I would spend entire months reading a single story, full of plot and UST. Ok, less with the plot but the UST is fantastic, and I love the historical details (though I have only a vague idea that it's quite accurate, but then again I didn't mind inaccuracies in Gladiator, so as long as aliens don't turn up I'm good).
In other news, I'm not dead, just busy. Part of my course is actually to keep a blog (seriously, this course was designed for me) so a lot of my online time is devoted to that (which is here btw, if anyone is interested), plus I've discovered Facebook. Damn it's addictive.
WHHHHHHHHY MUST THE TIME WHEN I GO AWOL FROM THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH BE WHEN THE FUCKING DEVIL TAKES IT OVER?
IT'S SO FUCKING HILARIOUS, WELL DONE MODS, YOU ARE AWESOME ON WHOLE OTHER PLANES OF EXISTENCE. I APPLAUD YOU, ESPECIALLY FOR THE STELLAR JOB ON THE PROFILE.
