(no subject)

I haven't done a non-Twitter post since...June 24th. Time sure does fly when you're depressed, sleep-deprived and have a new TV obsession.

Merlin

People, I don't do British TV. I don't do the whole obsessive fannish thing anymore. I don't. I swear.

But OMG you do not understand my love for Arthur. I started watching Merlin a couple weeks ago online. I enjoyed it. It was good. I finished it sometime last weekend. Do you want to know the number of times I've gone back online to watch key parts of certain episodes just because of the Arthur/Gwen and how dorky/douchey/hot Arthur is? I haven't done obsessive rewatching like this since early Smallville! (Yes, I get the irony.)

And I admit that my romantic leaning is toward Arthur/Gwen, not Lancelot/Gwen, because anytime a guy declares love for me after one date rescue, quite frankly, I'm gonna be creeped out. Plus, that whole overly romantic crap is lost the first time she realizes he farts in his sleep or something. On the flip side, Gwen knows Arthur has strong douchey tendencies, like when asked to think of someone besides himself and pick up his clothes. Which means attraction to a man including his flaws.

So You Think You Can Dance

My love for Alex Wong is strong. Sadly, I'm scared for him tonight. Please let baby dance! Don't put him in a corner!

Also, while I appreciate Jose's commitment to performance, boy needs to go. He's not that strong a dancer, even in his own genre. Billy is also working my nerves, even though last night his cat dance was kind of awesome. Kent is adorable, but I find him most adorable with Lauren. And she's adorable with him. Yep, I'm kind of shipping them in a dance manner, just because they bring out the best in each other. (Lauren had definite shades of Anya going last night.)

Dating

Turned down a guy at work. He asked me out. I floundered on saying no (with the excuse that I couldn't that night). This past week he actually said to me "You know I asked you out, right?" To which I had to reply that yes, I was aware, but I'm not comfortable dating anyone I work with.

Lord knows that's true, especially in light of the fact that everyone keeps teasing him about getting shot down. Plus one guy actually said "That's because she's into married guys like Smith and Johnson*." OMG. Seriously, people. The rumor mill in that joint is insane. Why would I want to add fuel to the fire?

* Names changed to protect my sanity.

Family

Let's see, the updates:

1. Mom is on anti-depressants. Given her last year, no one was surprised (except her, then not so much when she thought about it). She was having major cognitive issues, which she thought was something else. Oh, and her mini-stroke of last year? Not a mini-stroke. Migraines. Minus the headache part. Apparently you can have all the symptoms of a migraine except the actual pain, which is what she was having. She's on new medicine now.

2. My uncle bought a retirement home. In Florida (not NC like he told my grandmother). Was appraised at $240,000. Got it for $135,000. They're going to rent it out until he retires in about 4 years. Most importantly, it's halfway between Orlando and Daytona. I emailed him to thank him for thinking of me, as obviously he bought it so I'd have somewhere to stay when I finally go to the Daytona 500.

3. I'm stealing my niece and nephew for a day of horseback riding and swimming next Friday. It's gonna be awesome!
