Too many subjects, too little sanity :p~

So, how's tricks?

The ick-
Pup and I got into it, sorta... it wasn't a full out fight so much as a serious and heartfelt discussion (heretofore referred to as the 'to do'). Anyway, some stuff came up incl the next part of the TVP, which was kinda weird. She says she told the doc that stuff to get hm to take her seriously, that she didn't mean it like that... I did good not to yell or completely go off 'cause seriously, if you're gonna play it up that much you could TELL me, so I don't freak and think you only... well, you know.
Of course with all that I brought up the counselling thing and well, it is problematic, but not impossible and she's agreed to it, it's just the getting from agreeing to doing, but it's a start, yeah. *sigh*
I also found out something about that whole taking me down for my clothes and what I like to wear... well, obviously she knows about my MIs and my history with the whole getting beat up thing. Well, I bring up the clothes incident and like an hour later when things, well, an hour or so later she says to me, that she can't protect me if I stand out. I about died. I mean... what bollocks, not that she feels that way that was a massive revealation, but that she thinks that is a negative. I tried to explain the whole rather take the consequences for being myself than having to hide something that integral, ya know. I still don't think she understood, but I think she's trying, said she didn't know how else to be but to hide- another thing to add to the list of things to fix. *nods determinedly*

Okay on to other things- fabricy stuff and sewing, much better topic, yes. :)
Yeah, so I made another bodice. :D I picked up a bit of fabric a few days (week+) ago, some luscious dark blue, not navy, more like midnight... I told Arthur it was the colour of Merlin's eyes, lol. Thing is, it really is, that dark blue they turn when he's being all intense, anyway, fabric, turned out there was this fault in the fabric so I had to do some creative cutting but I got it. 'm actually really proud of it, finally got all my adjustments right.
I think I mentioned that Pup and HRH sprung on me that they wanted me to make HRH's graduation dress... and when I wasn't all hoo-rah about it, I got the behind the back insults, so yeah guilt tripped me into doing it. BLEH. Well, I finally sussed how to do the design she wanted since 'm sans pattern and they don't exactly have pattern stores or patterns at the one fabric store I've found, so yeah. Anyway we're at the fabric store (thankfully Fanboy was there, too so I got to distract myself comparing notes on Irish rock/punk bands, while HRH was being indecisive, lol) and I mention an alteration I need to make on her design idea, which somehow turns into her COMPLETELY REDESIGNING THE DRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Again, thank the gods for Fanboy otherwise I might have strangled her, but everytime it got close he cranked Colin up (he stole him and that should tell you just how much I trust/like Fanboy- I NEVER under ANY circumstances let other ppl use my earphones or run off with my music makers, even if by run off I mean still staying in sight usually right next to me, lol) so I could hear my music, lol... I doubt he completely did it on purpose but it was still a welcome respite, lol.
Really there is a point to this story, ok maybe not directly, but still, see after our big to do t'other day Pup's been trying to, well, I don't know, but she's been trying, anyway one of the things that came out of it was that she told me Monday that she was the one who suggested I make HRH's dress and she did it 'cause she thought I'd like it, and she was trying to pay me a compliment... I kinda told her it didn't work, but I appreciated the sentiment. All in all it was kinda nice. Good stuffs. Except that, well, 'm now hip deep in making a dress that I have no clue how to make, lol, but I will fight through it if it kills me and her and any stray bystanders, lol.

I made icons! Lots of them (by my standards, lol), lots of Colin... and his hands for some reason... I think I've found a not-so-new-but-suddenly-very-much-demanding-attention kink, lol. And his neck, 've become obsessed with his neck in OPL, it just kills me.
*points* I mean just LOOK AT IT!
Anyway, icons, yes, I know they're not great or anything, and I think 'm gonna go back to just hoarding my secret collection... I'm just not up to the whole nerve wracking process with sharing them, at least sharing them publicly (and let's just see how long that lasts, why is this the one thing I can be totally fickle about?), you guys might get saddled with them, though, lol.

And yes, 'm avoiding SPN, I don't think I can take the possible badness atm, lol.
Oh, and seriously, ppl, it's no secret that 'm a huge CM fan, yet somehow, somehow, no one bothers to mention ANYWHERE that Sebastian Roche did a stint on CM!?!?! We're just getting there here and Pup thought I was nuts because I look at the tv and go "They're gonna kill Balthy!" Well, I assume he's not gonna last, but I could be wrong... anyway then I had to explain wths I was on about which got me the calm nod and quiet she's-being-fandomy treatment, but it wasn't the hateful one, it was the slightly annoyed humour-the-crazy-woman one, which all things considered, I'm good with, lol.

And as had been noted elsewhere, me and my BB are not getting on. Though I did send some of the main bits off to Arthur and she really liked it, pointed out a couple issues I was already having, but you know, nice to have it confirmed that it was in fact awkward. 'm hoping we can talk some stuff out and get the muses to fill in the blanks. Which reminds me, Rainbow, if you're reading this I'd love to get your input on something ficwise if you don't mind- I need someone who's used to playing in Gwen's brain.

Oh yes, Barleyjuice! (I wish I had better linkage 'cause really that does NOT do them justice. Hrmph.) I have discovered several happy bands through this nifty internet radio thing and well, yes, Barleyjuice, Barleyjuice makes me HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!! I even told Pup about them and that I wanted to get some of their albums; they're not exactly mainstream so my parrot's finding it hard to find them, only found one full album, but that's neither here nor there, point is I told Pup and she ordered me one of their albums for my birthday!!!!!!!!!!! *is happy*
*is having way too much fun with her Celtic rock (pub) radio station* And seriously how can you NOT like a band called Enter the Haggis ('s my favourite of theirs).
Though on the, uh, creepy side, I think I now know all the lyrics to (and several versions of) "Black and Tans" and "Broad Black Brimmer", and yes I do know the difference in incarnations and meanings involved; it's still creepy on some level, esp when you're used to being around ppl who DON'T understand the difference, lol.
Here, this is a bit uncouth (and is yet a third band) and I love it:

Anyway, 'm probably forgetting something, but 've probably tortured you talked your ears off enough for awhile, yeah.
