She has requested mini quiche and mini cupcakes tomorrow and so she shall have them. I'm going to go see her at 6pm tomorrow and others are going at 3pm. She's still sleepy and out of it, we left her this evening coz she was just falling asleep on us, but it breaks up the long boring hospital day to have visitors. She's already managed to trash her table as much as she does her bedroom with crap everywhere, a book, chocolate, her water, earplugs, tissues etc. so I straightened everything up while I was there, I'm such a mum!!!
I also made elderflower cordial today, which smells fantastic!! Should have a tasting tomorrow and see if it tastes as good as it smells. The houmous went down well with both mum and dad but the dog won't eat it... although he does like his chips with vinegar we discovered tonight as we got fish and chips on the way back from the hospital.
Tomorrow I shall be cleaning the bathroom, baking and hospital visiting so I might try to get an early night. I didn't have to get up at 5am like everyone else so I stayed up way too late reading Plum fanfic. It's mostly crap but I enjoy it!!! Got to catch up on TW though or it'll get away from me.

I wish that people would stop repubilshing their old fics under different names. It's only happened once or twice recently but it drives me mad. Sure, it's been a year or two but changing two words and adding some commas does not a new fic make. I have read just about every janto fic on lj going since the very beginning. I notice these things and it not only drives me crazy, it gets me thinking uncharitable things regarding plagarism. If you do have to republish coz of vanity or whatever then at least admit to it straight up. Then people like me won't spend half an hour of their lives that they'll never get back using google-fu to see if you're ripping off other people's work!!! I don't even know why I'm bothered it's just... untidy. And I'm still not convinced regarding the plagarism.
And, take a deep breath...

Right, after much consideration and experimentation I believe I am quite safe in saying that it impossible to 'flick' one's trouser button open. You can tug, pull or slip it open but I don't think flick is the move we're after here. So why oh why does everyone insist that 'Ianto flicked the button open' with some kind of 'deft move'? It ain't happening, deftly tugging it open, I admit, doesn't sound quite as suave, but it is physically possible. Which is where my main argument against myself originates... since when have I cared if the porn is physically possible???
(Also, sorry flist for not being around, haven't actually made it onto my Friends Page in over a week coz I'm on limited internet time coz I'm working.)

There's so much wrong with this sentence I had to bring it over here to give it a good talking to... and I don't know what's going on with the font but I like it!!!!
Right, first things first. Stags have antlers, not horns. They are also herbivores and as such would not be competing over prey. Girl bambis, yes, prey, no... unless it's a particularly vulnerable looking bit of grass...
I realise these are minor things that someone totally ignorant of anything bigger than a dachshund would not care about but I'm a country girl and that ain't right. This is an usually excellent writer so when she manages to cock something up so much I have to take notice.
That is all.

'There ARE a lot of alien artifacts', not 'there IS a lot...'
ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's a plural, it's not hard, one is, many are. It's not like I'm asking people to use the conditional properly, I know that's a lost cause... and, yes I know it's myself and the Queen who still use 'one' in normal conversation so I may be somewhat unusual... but for the love of the English language can we at least try for pluralising correctly?????? IN YOUR OWN NATIVE BLOODY TONGUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am seeing more and more sloppy writing going on these days, even apparently betaed stuff, if English is your first language there is absolutely no excuse whatsoever. If you're a non native speaker I will give all the leway you like because I know I abuse other languages' grammar terribly, but really. This was the last straw!!!!!!
I shall just have to go on a murderous rampage and kill anyone who uses bad grammar in my presence, that's the only solution.

I think I have the basic floor plan worked out. Now I'm trying to do every room in his house according to Tanarian as a plan with furniture. Then I'm going to move on to sketching every room, starting with the sodding living room pic that started this craze. I even bought a sketch book and am looking frantically for my water colours. Good job I've got a break coming up, I shall be spending the Christmas week holded up in my room frantically sketching!!! And I still don't know why I'm doing this, it's a little specialised even for fandom!!!!
Oh and if I get really, really bored this vacation I might even make the damned house. I used to be a minaturist, my dolls houses and furniture are still up in the attic awaiting, I must have spent hundreds on that collection!!!
