One of the things I love...

...about Livejournal is that there is, or at least darn well appears to be, a Community for just about every interest imaginable. Even ones you think might be a tad obscure but turn out to have over 800 members.

On which note - having shared this with blazingskies over the weekend, and needing to share it more widely - a little while back, after I'd briefly thought it would be an interesting ship to explore, I joined a community dedicated to the pairing of Heroes' Peter Petrelli and Sylar.

It was only this weekend when the full implications of that pairing, vis-a-vis Sylar's first name, occurred to me. As someone posted looking for "Peter/Gabriel recs" and my mind went in places it probably ought not to have done...

Vague update-y thing

I have the next few days off work, so will probably be doing some sort of proper updates anyway, but I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank everyone who offered up prayers and general good vibes for my stepdad. He started to recover his memory shortly after I posted, after going in for a brain scan. Apparently he'd had a tear on his brain (cause by high blood pressure) which had led to bleeding and the memory loss. Whether that resulted in a stroke, or in symptons like a stroke, I'm not clear, but anyway, he's now out of hospital but having to make some changes to his lifestyle to try to get his blood pressure down.

So thanks again everyone.

Merlin event, with bonus spectacularly bad timing.

This is happening on my sister-in-law's birthday.

Oh well. Hopefully we can celebrate the birthday on the Sunday...
