My songs know what you did in the dark
1. I dreamt that Tom Barnaby was doing my job, and sending out Ben Jones to interrogate people as to why they haven't created a PO. I would appreciate the help, Jones, get to it!
2. I am deeply in love with the new Fall Out Boy track. It is amazing and ridiculous, and extremely catchy. It is called 'My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light 'em Up)'
3. There is a new multi-fandom comment ficathon going on. Most of the prompts seem to be for Vampire Diaries. I'm finding it difficult to leave prompts, because writing something more than "Write this character, they are awesome" is hard.
4. Speaking of Midsomer Murders, I sort of want to read Gail Stephens fic, as she is adorable. I also still want that crack!fic crossover wherein Ben Jones and Ianto Jones are cousins. Because Ben is from Cardiff, originally. And, yes, I know Jones is a common surname in those parts. It's still highly tempting.
5. Work has been so stressful that I've pretty much bailed on every challenge so far at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
womenverse. I feel sort of guilty, but at least I won't get silence when I post things.
6. So, they keep saying, "NO OVERTIME" at work, and then we have to stay late to finish everything to their satisfaction. I do not even know with these people, sometimes. Also, ffs, there ARE NOT TWO OF ME. I cannot do "this, this, this, that and that" all on my own. But I don't actually think my co-workers are intelligent and clever enough to do ANY of those things, so I will cling to them as a limpet. (seriously, when I say, "the highlighted portions are THIS and you need to DO THAT with them" in an email and then they come to me and ask, "so, there were these highlighted portions on the spreadsheet, what are we supposed to do?" I CANNOT EVEN)

And, no, no, no, no, no, no, do not do the Jones thing! Welsh surnames within Wales are simply beyond common. This is out of date, but it'll still be a reasonable guide:
* Smith is the most common surname in England. It accounts for 1.37% of all English surnames.
* Jones is the most common surname in Wales. It accounts for 13.84% of all Welsh surnames. (The ten most common Welsh surnames account for over 55% of the population. In England, the 10 most common surnames account for 5.15% of the population.)
Er. Sorry. Not that I want to stand in the way of cracky fic for fandoms I don't even belong to. *cough* I just know about how common Welsh surnames are (mostly due to family history stuffs, which is where I got that info from. Welsh family history is really tough). *looks innocent*
ETA; Prompts are hard. :-/

And, er, I'm very sorry about my unnecessary sharing of information with you yesterday!! (Welsh surnames are ridiculous, though. Welsh family history is TERRIBLE.)

It's all right. I was just a little taken aback at the vehemence directed towards a silly crossover idea. I would probably never have written it anyway.
