It is after midnight and I am giddy with that giddy feeling one gets when one suddenly discovers that one is not quite as miserable as one spent much of the day being. What does this inspire me to do? Why, blather on about my NaNo, of course! (What ought I to call it now, anyway? Any work I do from here on after will not be NaNoage as such, but ' ( Read more... )

Some observations:

i. My father is kind of adorable. Also, his music taste is made of win. (My father's taste in music is primarily responsible for my taste in music, though we listen to quite a lot of entirely different things. My adoration of all kinds of alt folk and traditional folk music is all his doing, though. I grew up singing along to his ( Read more... )

I should be writing about the general hobnobbing and adventures that have been going on lately, but I tried and they're so muddled together in my head (quite comfortably, sort of like my bookshelves) that I can't quite figure out which pieces go where and it's too late at night to bother, so I shall just set down some pertinent facts.

i. My recently ( Read more... )

I really am going to do that Deathly Hallows response post, because there is actually a lot to talk about besides How It Broke My Heart And Why I Am Not Resigned, but I keep worrying I'm going to forget something ("I've only read the book twice!), and then the less silly bit of myself says very sternly, "Banui, it's a response, not a ruddy thesis ( Read more... )

So, yeah, this is me, back from holiday. REALLY EXCELLENT HOLIDAY. Will discuss this later, but there are much more pressing matters at hand.

First, the non-spoilery bits: so, I'm really really glad that the night of the twenty first turned out to be the best night of the festival and possibly one of the best nights of my life -- guys, Nickel Creek ( Read more... )

I'm a bit overdue on this one, but -- comment and I will name you 3 interests from your list, and 3 userpics, and you explain them in your own post, asking the same of your f-listers.

I'd never heard of steampunk before today (or, rather, I'd heard the term bandied about and didn't pay a great deal of attention), but reading some of the discussion over the really nifty thing that Neil Gaiman linked to in his Journal of Awesome piqued my interest, and off to trusty Wikipedia went I. Now, I am rather deleriously enthralled, and I ( Read more... )

i. With regards to the urgent question posed by the last post: I'm currently torn between litalicious's suggestion of Nox and lady_moriel's Grey(e) (I'm dithering over the extra e; my addition). Aaand I found this really spiffing name site which someone ought to remind me to link to later, because I'm feeling a bit poorly and need to go to bed anyway ( Read more... )

I was actually joking when I commented on

I. So, lady_moriel and I were on the phone until twelve-thirty last night, which was basically The Best Thing Ever, except I woke my mum up because I was shut up in my closet for no good reason. (It's kind of cosy in there. Besides, Remus lives there. With his random piles of Time and various newspapers and books he keeps nicking off my shelves, and our ( Read more... )
