Hoping to put the Christmas Tree up this weekend - not feeling too Christmassy yet - hope this'll make a difference. As if I don't have enough to do, but does anybody/everybody else feel as though they have to clean the entire bloody house before the tree goes up? Oh well, hi ho hi ho....

I'm using my new icon from fanbot for the first time - you like?

Apologies for the long post but I'm feeling a bit thoughtful and introspective today:-
My eldest son was 21 in June - with his birthday money he went on a trip to Boston, New York and Maine with a few friends. He was away for three weks and returned home on Sunday. Had a great time but left us again yesterday to return to University in Glasgow.
My middle son is in his last year at high school and hopes to go to university next year - again through in Glasgow, but at Strathclyde University - he was at an open day through there a couple of weeks ago and it only confirmed for him that this is where he wants to go next year.
This still leaves my daughter at home - she's only 13 so a few more years to go before the nest is completely empty but it got me to thinking. I love my kids and I miss them when they're not here but I also love having the house to myself and Sandy (my hubby). I love not having to shop and cook and clean and iron for everyone. I love it when my eldest son returns home from uni but within a couple of days I could see him far enough! and I suppose these feelings will just be doubled if Jamie goes away too.
Sometimes when I'm reading fics from my fl or entries from your journals I completely feel at home with you all and other times I feel so old!! Some of you talk about things my kids would understand better than I do. I guess life moves on and mostly we adapt to fit but occasionally I so wish I was young again. Sorry for letting loose with my mind-wanderings!

I've been waiting for the right time to start using my new icon that I got from Mandy. Tonight't the night - anyone else totally hacked off at the time lj is taking to load?

Seems kind of fitting that my first post is to mark the screening of the Angel finale in the US. Although we've got a few weeks to go here in the UK before we have that dubious pleasure, I'm feeling quite melancholy.
I don't write any fanfic but reading it has become a huge part of my life since I became hooked on Buffy and Angel. I think I'm probably a bit of an obsessive sort of person but my interest in all things related to these shows has outlasted and surpassed anything that's gone before.
I'm worried that my fanfic universe will start to fade away now that the last show has aired, though most of my favourite authors are promising to continue writing and posting their stories. I promise I'll keep reading (and remembering to feedback) if they keep writing.
