Remembrance Day

Well, it's been and gone. I spent both Sunday's two minutes of silence and today's working, but I was silent. Not sure if that counts. I just kinda.. missed them. As usual, was wearing the poppy for over a week beforehand - I'm one of those people who hunts down poppy sellers to get mine, and invariably end up buying about three after I lose the first two. Not sure exactly why I do. The only family member of mine to die in war was one of my Grandad's brothers... I think. Not sure on this. Suppose it's a mark of respect for everyone else.

Was reading a piece about Remembrance Day in the paper a few days ago. Someones comment that in the sixties it didn't seem so important, and so very uncool what with all these big issues and Vietnam and so on. These days most of my mates and work colleagues wear them. Either out of duty or pride. Despite the fact that we've almost definitely got no contemporaries who suffered from war. Interesting...

grr.

Just looked at my sites - haven't done any updating for two whole months. christ.

Updated my Gunn/Wes site and Wes site with links and a beta, and your-site is fucking refusing to update them when you refresh the page!

Also, after reading the spoilers for the recent Angel eps, I better get my Gunn/Wes story out that I started two weeks ago, finish it and post it so it doesn't become obsolete by virtue of Fred and Gunn splitting precisely because of the same insecurities I had her leave him in my fic... :cracks knuckles: tomorrow is day off. Shall catch up on nanowrimo and that fic. I can do this. I've just got to glue my hands to the keyboard, not dye my hair or wax, or eat....
