Sticky Fingers
Jul. 6th, 2012 12:08 amHad a pretty good Fourth of July. I've never really done too much to celebrate it. And I'm not really much of a cookout person. I don't really relish fighting bugs for my food. Thankfully, the threat of rain kept the festivities mostly inside. We ate the stickiest, messiest stuff. We had ribs, corn on the cob, and crab legs. I think we all went through 20 rolls of paper towels.
My boyfriend and his family are from Maryland and they really love their crab. This was only the second time I'd had it. They were all very handy with several pointers. Once you get the meat out it can be good. But, MAN, that is a lot of work for a little piece of meat. When we were finished, I joked that we'd had our meal and a workout.
There are a number of reasons that I need to get my life (firstly being it's about time) but a big one is so I can avoid awkward family get together conversations. I hate when a group is gathered together(no matter how small) and someone turns to me with a curious/concerned look on their face and starts off "So..." and then I start to be pelted with all matter of questions about all the stuff that I haven't managed to accomplish yet. It's usually very well meaning, but I hate when I'm the center of attention. And I hate it even more when I feel like a bigger loser than I already do. /mini rant over. Other than that, everything went ok.
I signed up for Merlin Olympics! What was I thinking? I've never written Merlin fic before and now I'm signed up for two fests(the other reel_Merlin) posting around the same time. I really hope I can pull this off.
