Can't sleep, clown will eat me

[odycee]

I've realised that I've hardly been posting at all this year. I'm all asquee with my newly rediscovered John/Rodney love and I've read an obscene amount of fic recently so it's not that I've got nothing fannish to post about. I think it's probably because of this crap with work (I don't think I've ever f-locked so many posts in a month before) making me feel that I shouldn't just be posting frivolous fannish stuff when my colleagues and I might not have a job soon. But that's crap! I don't usually use this journal and my f-list for talking about my mundane existence in any great detail - I mostly like to use it for sharing my fannishness (and moaning about annoying stuff). So screw you, Generic Consumer Goods Company of Large Size that now employs me! You can't take my squee! [My squee ------>\o/] Ahem.

I should find out by the end of Feb at the latest whether they're going to extend my contract or not.

I read an Atlantis fic today that included the line: "Rodney once kicked a clown in the nuts. He was only four at the time, but he remembered it with a fondness that kept him warm on cold nights - of which there were many in Siberia." Ha! It's from last summer so it's probably old hat to most interested folks, but in case it's not, it's Intersections, by Kaneko and it's John/Rodney in Antarctica. Lovely fic with lots of back story for the two of them. And it's funny too.

Thanks for the rec! As soon as I get my tea (I have to go to the shops for milk ARGH) and sit down with breakfast, I shall very much enjoy reading it. :)

My fingers are still crossed for you with the job. Have you thought of beginning to look for something new anyway? Not that I think you'll have to go, but just for peace of mind. :)

Also, where do you get these great icons?

I have had a look through some job websites this week to see what's out there but I've not put much effort into it. I think if I want to stay in what I'm doing I'll have to move away because all the jobs are down south.

My squee icon was from here - I'm still quite tempted to get the 'yay porn' one! atlantis_icons actually has some nice icons posted to it so I've been snagging some from there recently.

Hope you get the extended contract.

More power to your squee.

My squee has awesome and terrible power.

I like ljs that have a good mix of fandom and rl. It's your journal so you shouldn't feel like you're posting too much or too little of whatever, just post what you want. :D And ahaha I don't think I've read so much fic in a long time either, and now with the hiatus looming, it looks like it's going to stay like this for a while.

Oh, me too. It's nice to actually find out other things about people than just what their OTP is.

just post what you want

That's the problem, I feel like I'm not. I haven't been posting the random inane crap that I usually do because I feel like I should be posting about what's going on at work, but I don't want to so I don't post.

I haven't read as much fic as this since the summer I think. It's great!
