Nerd Church - It's My Birthday! (And I'll Cry If I Want To)
...Not that I'm particularly aiming to. But I'll give myself the option!
Yes, the day this post is published (15th Sep, unless I pushed 'Publish' instead of 'Schedule' again! 😅) is my birthday!
While I'm hoping to have fun and enjoy myself today... I have had some mixed feelings in the days leading up to today.
See, for my entire life, my birthday has been a few days before my grandfather's.

Friday Fics Fix - Nerds Are Secretly Vindictive Emos. Oh, and Merlin and Arthur Got Captured Again.
'“We’re not going to die here,” Arthur snapped. “Someone will come to rescue us.”'
Who wants a dash of angst?
Sometimes I feel like we nerds/fandom members, as a group, are too into angst.
But... meh. 😉
Sometimes you just want to to see your favourite characters tormented - and that's ok.

Month in Review(s) - August 2019
August was not as hot here in the UK!!!!!
Thank whatever deity, divine power, or cosmic entity that may be listening!
Don't get me wrong, there were still days which were officially too hot. But there were less of them. *sighs happily*
Unfortunately, I spent most of August with a cold.
Because I'm one of those people who will catch every virus imaginable after a galandular-fever-like illness screwed my immune system over when I was 16. Good times.

Nerd Church - Caffeinated Current Events: We're Really F**ked (Like, More Than We Were Before)
I'm full of coffee, so let's try to figure out the state of the UK, shall we?
I don't know if you've been paying attention to UK politics lately, but it basically goes a little something like this:
Our Prime Minister is somehow Boris Johnson.
Because we apparently haven't suffered enough yet.

Friday Fics Fix - Something Followed
'He can feel something else coming through, something uninvited.'
I love horror.
...You may or may not have noticed.
Generally speaking, the less-realistic and more fake-looking the horror is, the more I'm freaked out.
There are some notable exceptions (Pet Sematary *shudders*) but overall, the more realistic and convincing the horror is, the more I'm like: meh, it's a ghost.
