Good things: love the fandom love on my flist: spread it around, SPN-people, with your adorable countdown-meme to the start of the season. *rolls around in the squee*. Also; [livejournal.com profile] spn_cinema is starting up a new bi-monthly challenge, wootwoot, count me in!

I felt some love from my CSI Nick/Gregfandom too, but have yet to see the first episode of season 15 (FIFTEEN!) - I'm a little hesitant because half of my otp now has a beard (the literal hairy kind) and the other forgot to style his hair and I don't want to be shallow, but... oh who am I kidding, I watch for the pretty, okay? This lack of consideration for my preferences better get fixed soon!

Not so good: yesterday afternoon we got a visit of some people from victimcare ("slachtofferhulp") at work to help me and the co-worker to -finally- express our feelings about the kidnapping of the bossman in May. Since we had five months to think about that and the consequences, we had a lot to talk about. Yet I had not expected to feel so out of sorts after it; I have not slept well last night and I'm exhausted. There will be a follow up appointment at home with a 'personal' counselor next week. I guess I better make a list of stuff to unload.

More good things: I'm going to The Hague tomorrow afternoon, because my brother scored me a ticket for the World Wide Cinema Event of Stephen Fry presenting his new book More Fool Me. (I may have already mentioned that when I updated my booklist to reread the first two parts of his biography:). He will do the presentation on stage in London, but it will be shown live in cinemas all over the world, so cool. Looking very much forward to that. Will work half a day and then start the long journey to the West:) Will report when I get back home!

Oh, question; would anyone be interested if I did WIP progress posts while I'm working on my own art-project? I'm thinking about sharing to keep me going since it's not for a running challenge. (It would also save me time when I'm ready to reveal;)

What a day

Quite the exciting day; claimed a story in the [livejournal.com profile] spn_j2_bigbang (and have already received a draft from my author, woohoo), fun with Eurovision on Twitter (so cool to have friends all over Europe sharing in the squee plus a great winner plus -countrypride- the Netherlands in second place, haha), and last but not least a phone call with the news that the three Dutch hostages in Nigeria are released and safe. And thus ends an overwhelming week, pfff.

Thank you, everyone who mailed and messaged me with support concerning the kidnapping, that was very much appreciated.

Bad news

I've contemplated whether I should post about this, since it involves other people, but this situation has a huge impact on my life and I thought it important that my friends know what's going on. My boss went on a business trip to Nigeria last week and yesterday we got this news: 3 Dutch nationals kidnapped in Niger Delta.
We've been talking to reporters all day yesterday and the situation is still unclear, except that we have confirmation about the identity of the people who were kidnapped, amongst who are indeed my boss and his businesspartner. Latest news is that the Nigerians have been released, but I have no additional information to what is already published in the (Dutch) media. I'm disabling comments on this, you know how to reach me.
