Ah, life. On the same eternal topic of Jo's Livejournal of late, I'm often amused by how I am finally beginning to do normal sorts of teenager things now that I have left my teenage years behind -- things like hide-and-seek and sleepovers. (I had lots of sleepovers in my pre- and early adolescence, but then I stopped having friends for quite a few ( 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.

( cut for loquaciousness. )

One does rather enjoy a lovely day once in a while. They probably ought to be kept on hand, in jars or folded up carefully in linen, to be taken out and worn close to one's breast on the days the sun doesn't come out.

So yes -- after a Thursday that beheld shenanigans at the city park and our very dull local Red Cross Fair (we were very suspicious ( Read more... )

At last, I get to have one of the good days: a day opposite of the ones I've usually been having, in which everything is rather nice for no specific reason, instead of incredibly dire for even less of a reason. We-ell, there was Doctor Who (!!!) and the library, and the fun of figuring out a new song -- combined with the frustration of not having ( Read more... )

I find it faintly disturbing that my very first post of the new year was a frantic cry for academic help. Well, hopefully it is prophetic of the Year to Come -- the academia bit, I mean, not the frantic cry for help. Anyway, it turns out that essays are really fun!, especially when they're simultaneously very fannish and very academic. In fact, ( 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.

So..."Journey's End"?

Remember in Angel, S4, when we were told that apparently everything important that happened over the last three seasons was engineered by The Benevolently Evil Goddess Zoe Washburne?

Anybody else feeling like we were right back there?

(Especially when we found out that MOST OF THE IMPORTANT THINGS INVOLVING DONNA WERE ENGINEERED ( Read more... )

So, Abigail Washburn & the Sparrow Quartet's album is out today (Tuesday): I implore all of you to go out and purchase it forthwith. (I would if I had money, and anyway it is probably what Dad will get me for my birthday in a month, statistically speaking.) If you are hesitant, I ask you to go listen to this, and come back when you're finished. I ( Read more... )

Ugh. SO, YOU GUYS, PRINCE CASPIAN IS THE MOST FABULOUS THING EVER AND I AM STILL GRINNING MANIACALLY EVEN THOUGH I COULDN'T STOP SMILING ALL THROUGH THE FILM ITSELF (EXCEPT FOR THE BITS WHEN I WAS CRYING, ALTHOUGH I WAS BEAMING THEN SOMETIMES TOO).

Anyway, today was the best day ever. (Today I was loud and we were all fangirly. Then we were ( Read more... )

Angel continues to be awesome (thank you lady_moriel ), but ( spoiler! )
