I feel like I'm starting to become a lurker in my own journal.
Mostly I haven't been in the mood to post about anything, probably because there isn't much to post about, at least nothing of a happy nature. The last couple of days have been a major trial of my patience and yesterday saw me in a state of depression I haven't been in for quite some time. We lost one of our rabbits and nearly lost one of our dogs, Lavi, via the same way we lost the rabbit (but Lavi's doing fine, now) and then just... other various things that I won't go into since they are many. I think it was me finding out we'd lost one of the rabbits long after the fact we lost her because my mom was hoping I wouldn't find out that really set things off for me. Seriously? It was my favorite rabbit, of course I was going to find out eventually! >:( Then everything else that followed just... added to the aggravation. I really am surprised I didn't explode and have a major public break down, as I have in the past. But I did end up with one heck of a stress headache.
Thankfully most of the sources of aggravation have past and as long as we're careful there shouldn't be anymore. But the key word here is "careful." And, well... let's just say we're still in situation where things could go wrong. Although this close call with Lavi should keep us on our toes for a while.
And next when the state fair comes around, we are getting another rabbit (unless I can find a chinchilla as I really want one).
Merlin is still eating my brain but I've reached that point in fic reading where I've devoured the good stuff, want more and am fighting the temptation to go a-scrounging for anything at all to read, which I swore to myself I would not do with any fandom ever again! I've stuck mainly to recs, other people's favorites, various FF.net communities and the gen filter at AO3 and have done pretty dang good thus far. Any more hunting and that will change and change horribly.
Also, I hate subtext. I'm not a fan of slash or het, but subtext I absolutely despise. I know people have issues with the "no slash" tag but, I have to be honest, I like it, because when I see "no slash" or even at least, "Slash with your goggles on or if you squint" then I know I don't have to worry about those little bits of subtext that make it incredibly difficult to hand-wave away author intent (and also ignore the rather skeevy thoughts character A is having about character B. So much for me thinking it was a friendship story :P). And I apologize for complaining about this but, as I said, I have been pretty aggravated the past couple of days.
