Links and thinky thought
Oct. 28th, 2013 01:57 pmWalking Dead's recap is up, as well as all of the other goodies on HDJM like Buffy, SPN, Sleepy Hollow... As always, you can follow HDJM's twitter, FB page or Tumblr for updates or follow the writers' twitter/tumblr. Here's my tumblr/twitter, for example.
Thinky thoughts:
That felt pretty good, I have to say. And now back to this Anne of Green Gables/Teen Wolf fic that I am MADLY IN LOVE WITH, omg. /dork
Thinky thoughts:
- I had my final parent-teacher conference for my son today and he'll be graduating before Thanksgiving, due to me keeping him busy with school all summer. I. It's just that. Graduating. Done. Finito. Sooner than we thought. It's fine that he is, I'm just coming to terms with being a mother old enough to have a HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE. =|
- And we're stepping up his college application (nursing schools!) stuff with the help of my kid's team at the new school (who I love)
- I got a comment to HDJM today on a years-old Hoarders post. It was the Hoarder's daughter. I just want to say how grateful I am to everyone supporting the idea of HDJM's motto: approach with love for something, even if it's wacky and silly, because where else can you go to talk about something where you know you won't fall headlong into wank? She felt comfortable enough with the recap and the discussion in comments to talk about her feelings and give me an update on her mom. (Not good.) I love that the family members and friends who have commented over the years knew that they could talk about their feelings - even when they were angry, upset, heartbroken - on HDJM and we wouldn't judge them for it.
That felt pretty good, I have to say. And now back to this Anne of Green Gables/Teen Wolf fic that I am MADLY IN LOVE WITH, omg. /dork

Date: 2013-10-28 09:13 pm (UTC)I went to a college with a huge nursing program. I was on the nursing dorm for three years in a row and they worked harder than the pre-med people. It is not an easy degree.

I am so excited for him and for you! Nursing is hard work but so rewarding.

This is a problem, Stoney. You need to find a vamp, stat, so you can turn him and he can be forever the same age he has been since I started following your blog (...which has been like three years, so that makes him fifteen for eternity).

(FTR, he IS graduating early, not in May of 2014. But yeah. TOO SOON.)

It's so touching to hear the daughter of one of the people featured on Hoarders showed up. I'm so sorry to hear her mother isn't doing well, but yes, at least her daughter can find some respectful treatment of her mother's issues at HDJM. <3
In completely different news, I can't wait for Sleepy Hollow to return from its baseball-enforced hiatus!! I want my petite BAMF female lieutenant reunited with her raised-from-the-dead eidetic-memory sexy professor partner!

Date: 2013-10-29 01:20 am (UTC)I do think he'll thrive in a more adult/career-centered environment. Public school hasn't been kind to him, so getting him through it faster was definitely the right decision! <3
One of the things I loved about the show Hoarders was how EVERYONE got treatment, not just the hoarder. Their children and other family members/loved ones were all brought into therapy, and when the doctors saw that progress might be too much to hope for with the hoarder, they turned their energy to the family. Some people finally gave voice to their thoughts and feelings after a lifetime of bottling it up. Man, I wish the show hadn't been cancelled. :(
I CAN'T WAIT, EITHER!! We're catching up on Sleepy Hollow so I can enjoy the fun fandom with you. <3 (Ooh, and I'm emailing you some info to help you continue spreading your awesomeness.)
