Happy New Year! This has got to be the latest new year's post. 2010 was an emotional roller coaster for me. During the last days of 2010, a very close family member died--my grandmother's brother, but whom we call "grandfather" as well (musing about it, others may call him my great-uncle?). What followed was a jumble of preparation for his burial, ( Read more... )

November and December were shaping up to be bad, evil months where I can't finish most of my research papers and I end up staring at the window because of bad cold, allergies, and eczema.

SO. I have recs for the first wave of Snupin Santa (Lupin/Snape ahoy!).

People who like lovely, dirty, and exquisite Harry Potter drawings had better head over to ericahpfa's wicked daily_deviant art:

When The Knight Bus is Rockin' (NOT WORK SAFE)

Oh my GOD. I always love her works, but this is insanely hot. I am jealous and so turned on NGGGGGHHHH. Go now, go now.

It's not that I mean to keep forgetting to update this, but mostly because I always say, "I'm doing something else right now, so I'll just do this tomorrow." But time has this funny way of creeping up to you and then, suddenly, SNUPIN SANTA IS FINISHED. Thank you to the mods who held it ( Read more... )

Quick things before I leave for work.

Remember my list of Christmas things I want? Well, mieren_lanfear has promised chocolate, and someone gifted me with paid IJ account! I don't know who you are, but THANK YOU. I didn't expect to get that, but I'm blown away! I'm preparing to change my layout soon ( Read more... )

Thanks to everyone who sent condolences about the death of our cat, Domino. (The entry is f-locked, because I wasn't dealing very well with the news, and while I wanted to acknowledge what happened with words, I also didn't want to impose an emo two-liner on majority of my flist.) It's already been a week, but sometimes I see something that reminds ( Read more... )

In case some of you missed it, snupin_santa will be starting soon. I've been readying my requests.

I can't wait! It's my most favorite media exchange. I can't believe the quality of gifts I received the past two years, and I have to rec them all over again.

I'm back, but only for a short post to say that...well, expect me to be showing up more in your flist and annoying you more because I spam a lot. I don't like posting everyday because I feel like I'll be more prominent in your list, which I don't want. The idea of having something to talk about sometimes scares me.But. I have to say that one of our ( Read more... )

I missed two lectures that I really wanted to attend; the first one because I didn't know it was open to the public, the second one because I overslept and woke up feeling dizzy. Guh. I'm just waiting for the right time to dash out of the house and go to work.

RECS! The lupin_snape trading places challenge is producing so many wonderful fics and art. I haven ( Read more... )

So, I disappeared and now I'm kind of back. Still busy, but I managed to squeeze in some things between work and basically goofing around. So I missed shouting to the world about the release of the Snupin Fanzine: Chocolate & Asphodel. I haven't gotten around reading the fics yet, but everything looks gorgeous. And I'm proud to say that Tagay, the ( Read more... )
