...walking beyond the light...

Please leave me a comment as not all my fics/entries are public :D

Well as expected my cousin lost his battle against the cancer. He passed away on the 26th with all his immediate family around him. I last went to see him the Thursday before and he'd been in a coma for about 6 days by that point so I guess it was a blessing in a lot of ways when it finally happened.

I'm well used to the numbness that follows loss like this but apart from sadness I'm feeling grateful that when he went he won't have known too much about it. My take on it is that if you can slip away peacefully in your sleep then that's got to be pretty much the best way to go.

His funeral is on Monday and me, my better half and my brother are all going. I hope that his family can behave themselves - long story but this last leg of his illness has caused all kinds of hell to break loose - and that it's as cheerful a send off as it can be. I know he would want it to be that way.

Rest in peace, D. I wish we'd never lost contact like we did but I hope that I made it up to you a little bit in the last few weeks. Sleep well, fly safe and find peace x

Just read this and its so true. Borrowed from tumblr which borrowed it from LJ in the first place :)

"Fandom is focus. Fandom is obsession. Fandom is insatiable consumption. Fandom is sitting for hours in front of a TV screen a movie screen a computer screen with a comic book a novel on your lap. Fandom is eyestrain and carpal tunnel syndrome and not enough exercise and staying up way, way past your bedtime.

Put your ipod on shuffle and write the first line of the next ten songs. When you're done, you have a poem. Let's see what I can do.

I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. Here's a thought: take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name, I'll think: "Ah, there's Parker... she likes money and cereal." I'd love it if everyone who's friended me did this. (Yes, even those of you who I know really well.) You may post this in your own journal, if you feel inclined. In return, ask me anything you'd like to know about me and I'll give you an answer.

It seems ages since I did one of these. Shamelessly stolen from the ever wonderful burgandybaby :)

Now steal and do it too :)

So, The Big Bang Theory has kinda crept up on me. I'd caught one or two eps but nothing more than that. Besides I'm probably out of their target age group and I try only to DVR stuff from any channels that show Hollyoaks as a rule of thumb. As it pans out I am utterly crazed by it at the moment and watch more eps a day than can be healthy. Granted I've been off work ill for 3 days so I can claim those days as medicinal for the laughter, right?

Anyway, Leonard is my favourite character by a mile, so awkward and borderline desperate. He's played by the adorable Johnny Galecki. In honour of my latest crazy fetish, here's a couple of lovely pics of him and one of my OTP ship from TBBT. Yes, I have one already and surprise, surprise, it's slashy. I am predictably predictable.

Also, I'm an unashamed Shamy shipper too. The most adorable tribute vid is tacked onto the bottom of this. The season 5 finale nearly broke my tiny fangirl brain.
