Er, if you follow me on Tumblr at all you will maybe understand a bit more to what ridiculous effect Tangled has taken over my soul. I don't always -- um, usually -- get so completely heart-bound up in a movie, and certainly not so quickly; what is this sorcery? Anyway, precious little of my fannish ramblings ever see the light of outside-my-head, ( Read more... )

I've practised a lot of songs over the last five years or so since I started learning guitar. My guitar teacher gave me things that took months to learn (I never did master that Emiliana Torrini song), and even now I'm trying to get the rhythm right for Mumford & Sons' "Roll Away Your Stone".

Never, however, have I had to practise playing a song so ( Read more... )

You know, I thought I had read through the flist a day ago, but apparently I had not checked in five days? I don't even know, you guys; I am so sorry. And I promise that this is more indicative of my mental state (ADHD-y and having trouble focussing in general) than how I am drifting away from LJ (I'M NOT! My best friends are here!). And that I  ( Read more... )

I am feeling a bit blecchy at the moment -- sort of dull grey (not a nice mossy-stone grey, but a dour, mildewy grey -- though not quite so melodramatic), but I have realised of late how little I have been posting and this saddens me. I mean, there's you guys, and also I do like to have records of things, even if the things are just the ( Read more... )

First off, thank you to the internet at large, oh my for your lovely birthday wishes, which I am still processing and sorting through, especially as both my brain and my wireless are a bit fuzzy at the moment. (Midway through yesterday I realised how terrifyingly sleepy I was; fortunately it was a rather nice sleepy.)

I fluttered awake early to a ( Read more... )

A meme from vega_ofthe_lyre, in which I have never, ever been so long-winded before (well, okay, that is probably a lie; I am frequently long-winded).

Respond to this and i'll pick seven of your lj interests for you to explain in a new post.

Right before we left to visit the grandparents (which is to say far later at night than I should have), I watched The Wolfman, which I've been wanting to see for a while, what with, you know, werewolves being sort of A Thing with me, although I realised recently that I haven't actually read or watching anything that is a) decently werewolf-centric ( Read more... )

Lately I just want to wave my hands around and shout, O Internet! I love you and you are wonderful!

I keep meeting so many marvellous, fascinating, loving, clever people, and having my horizons challenged and widened, and being given new things to watch and read and listen to and eat and love.

Additionally, if it weren't for the internet lo these ( Read more... )

Alas, as usual, Halloween consists of me sitting at home in a costume that nobody sees, burning a lot of candles and listening to a lot of folk music. (...This could apply to every other night of the year, actually. Um. Costume optional.) What would be really brilliant is if there was a Graveyard Book party anyplace near me at all, but I doubt ( Read more... )

nghhh I have Tolkien meta and Prisoner of Azkaban The Movie meta and The Novel meta and I want to write it all and why do I feel so busy this is absurd. Of course, there is the whole thing where I have to write and compose or at least re-arrange a new song every day through Saturday, which I admit is thoroughly my own fault, and also it is good for ( Read more... )
