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*

*waves* heya. I thought, given we've been commenting simultaneously for a good few months now, it might be nice if I introduced myself. Um, as userinfo says, I'm Hannah, and have run away from university in Oxford this year to be in Paris. It seemed like a good idea before I got friends there. Essentially, though, 'tis just to say hello - see userinfo/comments below/my posts (have friended you so you can read them) for anything else.

*bows and scuttles backwards out of online introduction* (I never know how to write 'em)

Hee! No, I never do either. Usually fall back on self-deprecation, which seems to work okay. :) Basically I'm a person who bums around a University admissions office in the day time and lives a secret life of fanfic and writing at night. *g* (Which is all fairly obvious from entries and user info etc., but still.)

Anyway, yes: hello! :D

*glee* New friend!

Mmm. Mine tend to go.. as it did, really. Ah well.

I am pleased, for you are from Sheffield and I know where that is (English geography is somewhat lacking) as my grandparents live there, so huzzah! For, um, entirely random coincidence, but still huzzah.

I tend to lawyer (as in do the studying thing - a bit, anyway) when I fit it in around other things. As userinfo says - need someone to kick me into writing stuff (it's all ler fault, she tricked me into doing NaNo this year....) but I do scuttle around on neutral_omens playing War, which is always good for a laugh (and, y'know, online sociability is easier than trying to go out, especially when it's cold outside). [/babbling]

Also, as Laura said below, yay for circles of friends. Always good *grins*.
