#zero-for-starters

[zero-for-starters]

A little message me and Erin recorded for our fellow Emus when she came down to Wolverhampton to visit me for the day whilst she was on holiday in London.

so, here’s the video message that we recorded when Erin 14000romances​ came down to visit me, a couple weeks ago now. I’m going to apologise in advance for how quiet and awkward I am on the video compared to Erin. I keep looking at the phone screen too much, trying to check if we’re still in shot and I feel like I look really goofy and have a really chubby face, i’m sorry these are just my hang-ups. Hopefully my rambling hasn’t put you off and you enjoy seeing what we look like and what our voices sound like as one of us is British whilst the other is American, which was quite surreal. xx

Spies, Lies and His Ultimate Demise: A MMFD AU Playlist

I have been inspired by my psychic twin Becca to create this MMFD AU playlist after reading her fabulous historical AU fanfic, "Spies, Lies and His Ulitmate Demise" which takes place in WW II. I chose songs that were popular during the time period and tried not to stray from the era since zero-for-starters is a military history major and has a wealth of knowledge on the subject.

The music from the time period might not be everybody’s cup of tea but the songs are fabulous, I promise!

Enjoy emus and my twinnie! xox!

My Mad Fat Reactions: Not I: part 1

Here are Becca's (zero-for-starters) penultimate set of reactions. I assume this episode wasn't much better for MMFD fans.

Stacey (stac) was also present, but her only input was laughing at the word chuck!

So join me next week for the final batch of reactions to the MMFD finale episode (Not I: part 2). As usual they should be up by Thursday.
