Where did everyone go?

You can't *all* have lives... Or maybe I'm just imagining that LJ is quiet because I have nothing better to do than hang around online and wait for feedback.

Things to ponder:

harry potter, real life: christmas, writing: ideas, fandom: book!love, fandom: film!love, real life: anywhere but here, fandom: squee

Man, but I wish she'd just get on and write the damn thing. I know I say this all the time, but JKR ain't that hot a writer to begin with so you'd think she'd take a little less than, what has it been now? Two years since the last one? For someone who's had it all planned out for ten years. *sigh*

Some (the brothers) would argue that owning the library was the line-crosser.
Hee! I'm imagining eye-rolling. Was there eye-rolling? *g* If I remotely knew where my Giles was he could come over and make groaning noises in Buffy&Spike's direction. ;)

I like getting letters, and recognising the handwriting on the envelope
I do that. And I'm getting scarily good at guessing when I *don't* know who it is. And I'd never not write things out by hand - seems wrong somehow, like you're sending bills or something, I don't know. That said if whateveritis I'm writing for you turns into an epic, as it almost surely will, it might have to come in stages so my wrist doesn't come off! :D

I'm reading Wicked at the moment. I kinda wish I was green.* ( ... )

Eye-rolling, despairing shakes of heads, "you do know you're crazy, right?"s. They love me really.

*imagines* Awww. :)
My anywhere-but-heres are encompassing fictional places again... I just wish I lived in TVLand or BookLand, is that so wrong? And yeah, if it doesn't work out, you and me are going away. I'll get a job so I can blow all my earnings on flights, and we can run away together. We'll find a little flat, and as long as there is coffee and internet, what else could one possibly need? *sighs*. The RL movie was in New England, somewhere near Boston I think. I was jealous.

Until you shout at them for not putting things away. ;) I still want brothers. And an integral part of my getting-to-sleep-any-minute-now routine is imagining my Huck sleeping next to me. Because I am just *that* sad. *shrug*

New England is good. I've seen the snow pictures and even they don't scare me (since I understand that the infrastructure of the universe doesn't collapse under its weight *eyeroll*). Because I've *also* seen the pictures in the fall and just swooned all over them. Nice artist's garrett to starve in, it's all good. :)

I really can't call you sad. I'm the kind of person that's going to end up stealing babies. And gets excited about the possibility of making it easier for single women to get sperm donors. (I mentioned the 'gonna steal a baby' line to a friend and she *repeated* it *very loudly* in the middle of a crowded pizza hut. Whereupon women started inching their children away...)

So us, coffee, internet, *babies* and snow. We can play my two mommies! *is wry* Is it weird that we both want babies and not relationships...? But yes, snow is good. As is New England in the fall. *yearnsback*

Aw, and here's me thinking I was going to get to run off with you. Just done my traditional thing of several days enjoying company and it's all just suddenly started to feel not right 'n' I really want to run off, 'n' not just going home.

You'll tell me about applications, right? I got an email back from Clifford Chance asking for my results from Oxford second year. Don't they know that Oxford second year lawyers don't get results?! Gah.

Got my Civil mock back. Slap bang on 10. Lots of others got bad marks though. It's not good.

Miss you, sweetling *hugs*

You *are*! But you have semi-career plans for a few years, which I am very much lacking. You can come join us whenever you'd like. You'd like Em!

And yeah, I'll tell you about them of course. You weren't one of the people. Won't be til February though. And pah to Clifford Chance. Why does no one understand what we do in our degree...?

I miss you loads ♥

This is true. I'll come find you when it all goes wrong and I decide I can't cope any more, and there can be coffee (and I may have tea, too...) and internet and books and DVDs and TV. I really should introduce myself to Em sometime... we both keep commenting on your posts, after all.

I have no idea why they don't know - they have enough Oxford students applying after all, so I don't know why they think I know any results. Do you think I should mention the collections from last year? (Only 2, but they were 2:1s...)

Really miss you too. Home day after tomorrow. May use free minutes to call you some point (possibly after Christmas as will get swept up in preparing-y stuff first...)

*snuggles*

You *should* introduce yourself. Then I can pretend I have a circle of friends, instead of two relationships which currently exist only online...

Maybe mention the collections if you think that would help. As long as you can get someone to write a letter to that effect, or will they take your word for it? *shakes head* I am so very tired of all this.

And do call, it'd be nice to talk properly. *clings*
