Angel Butts

I'm back in Plymouth now and the first thing I did was go into town and buy a copy of Supernatural magazine and head to the bookshop. I was sat on the floor of Waterstones for about an hour muttering to myself and flipping through a book of Enochian Magick, trying to decide if I should get that or 'Goth: Undead Subculture'. I went with the latter and it was the right choice. Not only was a couple of quid less expensive, but it could be useful for my module on sexualities next year. I could do my presentation on the goth subculture and fetishism. The problem with that is that one of the main researchers is called Angel Butts and I crack up laughing every time I read it or even think about it. If I had to actually say it aloud I would die.
Oh and there's a guy who calls himself 'Count Von Sexbat' but his real name is Simon.

Bad!fic

So, I have one essay, six poems with a 700 word commentary on each to complete, two books to read and two exams to revise for. The next couple of weeks should be a lark.
However, today I'm writing fic. To be honest, what I am writing squicks me out, but I was reading something that had a really good premise, but the writing was terrible. So much repition and long, overflowy dialogue from characters that are supposed to at least pretend to be more stoic than that. I felt I was screaming at the screen when a particulary godawful horror flick is one, the one where you're like 'oh for god's sake, woman, DON'T go into the woods!'
So I thought I'd write something with a similar outline, although I have to say it's not the same, not at all. Not the same plot, just the same genre.
And yeah, what I've written creeps me out, and I think if I was looking for fics to read, I'd probably avoid this one.
This is what I do with my spare time x_x or rather, my time that really should not be spare because I have more important things/work that I ought to fill it with.

Dark Side of the Moon

I'm feeling better about my name. It might be really very boring, but at least it has some horror film references, e.g. Poltergeist. Aaand said reference was mentioned in Supernatural this week, so now I'm all like ... happy!face =P
Oh and I don't know if I've written about this before but I have paid for my Supernatural Asylum 5 convention tickets. Annoyingly they don't send confirmation until about four weeks before the event (WHYFORGOD'SSAKEWHY???) so I'll have to e-mail them and ask them about it before I book the hotel room (which is non-refundable).
It should be a good event, Misha Collins will be there (who I may or may not be slightly in love with), not to mention all the other awesome people that are there (Anna, Gabriel, Azazel; YAY!)
