Wow: this morning I woke up feeling a bit awkward and when I turned over to have a sip of water I realised why: I had rolled over without pain! Of course the stiffness was still there, but: no pain! Bliss.
I even managed to put on my socks and shoes all by myself, I felt so proud.

I had a McDonalds-date with Jelle today, who made a stopover on his way to Utrecht, so we could exchange books. He received HP-Deathly Hollows in return for part two of the "Green Flower"-trilogy: a Dutch book about a young gay guy in 1894 London. After he gets fired from his job in a men's clothing store, he works as a male prostitute and an artist's model. And he gets to hang out with Oscar Wilde and his posse (Bosie is as obnoxious as I remember him) Loads of cool dialogue, passionate encounters and unrequited love. It's lovely and angsty and very intriguing and I can't wait to continue after finishing the first part in one go.
Jelle did warn me the story might not go where I wanted but that only makes me more anxious to read it.

One critic called the writer 'a female Charles Dickens'. Ehm. Okay. I just hope she hurries up with part three and doesn't pull a Rowling on me;)

For those of you who can't read Dutch, here's a rec for an English fic, Nick/Greg NC17: Submission Games by [livejournal.com profile] rispacooper The extensive style took a little getting used to, but I couldn't stop reading. Hot stuff.

I also noticed both [livejournal.com profile] kennedy_unknown and [livejournal.com profile] catlover2x have posted new N/G stories. I recommend those without reading them first. I trust those fics are as awesome as usual:)

*off to read*

Yay for no pain! I'm sending good vibes so it stays that way ;). But much YAY!
(Although... you'll still get your massage, right? ;)

Ahh, this is the awesome book you mentioned? I was thinking of passing by the bookstore during my lunchbreak, I might just see if they have Book One. Even though, yanno, I really don't need something else to eat my brain right now :P. But the summary sounds awesome!

I recommend those without reading them first.
Hee, safe bet ;). I'm saving Private Dick for when I have more time, so I can read it in one go.
