Tremendulent!

Right. Someone on my friends-list came up with the 'schadenfreude boogie', but I can't remember who. havocthecat? Was it you?

But back to my original query, remember the job I didn't get because they decided to go with someone else who had a 'biology' background? Well, apparently that fell through and they rang me this morning to ask if I still wanted the position. Which, I do, but wow. What? Hee! I said yes and they're going to pay me what I requested and I'm actually quite chuffed!

I have a job! Eeeee! I start in two weeks, so I still have some time to do some writing and chilling out. *sighs in relief* I think this will be an interesting job and it's in a lovely part of the countryside, sheep everywhere!

Happy Friday! ♥

Okay, I have a question about something that is really, really bugging me.

When I left the house I was renting, I made sure to clean it. I scrubbed the bathroom, bedroom, kitchen, refrigerator, vacuumed, etc. I did everything that I could in a limited amount of time and with only my two hands.

Was it professional-grade clean? Probably not, but it was certainly liveable.

My former landlady is planning to take out £360 out of my rental deposit for the cleaning of two professional cleaners over the course of two days. Basically, she's charging me for a professional cleaning.

This is not sitting well with me. I was under the impression that landlords were obliged to clean the rental property under their own steam. There was no damage and I don't think comparing the job I did with that of professional cleaners is fair.

What does everyone else think?

All-knowing, incredible friends-list!

I'm looking for a villain for my het_bigbang. Who are some of your favorite Marvel villains? Who is someone who would have no particular qualms about harassing people and hiring locals to his/her dirty work? I just stumbled across John Bushmaster on the Marvel wiki and he sounds pretty hardcore.

Also, who are some old-school awesome female characters? Like Peggy Carter, who were around and kicking ass a few decades earlier?

My knowledge of comics is woefully lacking.

I hope everyone is having a good weekend!

It's been that kind of a week. Month, life, whatever.

Meme totally borrowed from vega_ofthe_lyre:

Leave a ONE WORD comment that you think best describes me. It can only be one word. No more than one word. Then copy & paste this post to your own journal (if you want to!) so I can leave a word about you.

Seriously, pass this meme on, it's winter and we all need fun words and connections!

I forgot how potent Florida sun is. I'm like a lizard and just keep basking in it.

I'm still in the midst of my hols, but had to break radio silence to say that I saw RED.

Holy amazing Karl Urban, Batman!

Eeeeee! This movie!!!! I'm so in love with everyone. I definitely requesting stuff for Yuletide. Namely, ( Spoilers )

How is everyone? I think I missed birthdays, so Happy belated Birthday lullabymoon! I hope you had a lovely day!

See y'all soon!

So, I saw someone asking on their journal who is the best fandom people have ever been involved in. I'll be honest, I've only this past year really gotten involved in fandom and visited multiple comms and read the meta and so on.

But, I have to say, hands down, THE best fandom I've come into contact with is the McCoy/Chapel folks over at mccoy_chapel and on my flist. They are kind, they are supportive, they kill me dead with their creativity and writing/artistic skills and are just plain lovely.

What are some other ones that you've enjoyed?

Other things making me happy include:

1. My new layout! I've never used an originally customized one before and I love it.

2. The earrings I'm currently wearing. I went digging in my jewelry box this morning and found my silver manatee earrings I bought eons ago in Florida.

3. It's raining and while I'm not keen on walking into town in it, it smells gorgeous and we do actually need it.

4. This recipe -( behind the cut )

5. These fellas. ( Teh lovelies behind the cut )

Happy Wednesday!

I just had to say, ya'll are so awesome! You nailed all of my OTP's! You're so very, very cool and you all get virtual pies a la mode.

The only one you didn't get is a little obscure:

15. He's too old for her and yet they keep meeting nowhere.

Umm, would it help to say that it's a young adult novel? The author has written quite a number of stories and one of them (not this one!) got turned into an animated film directed by Hayao Miyazaki.
