hearts are cool
I am very appreciative of those who left me a little love in the Holiday Meme. You all are going to make me blush. I bet I think the same about all of you, anons, you're all spectacular and I feel like I've been the centre of a big group hug.
- You are so so sweet. It's been fabulous seeing you become the person you are today. ♥
- Love the username, you're so precious! ♥
- you are wonderful. you are always willing to help out others (unless it's really out of your way) and you're strong and beautiful. that is all.
- there are just no right words to express how much your friendship means to me. you've been there for the terrible-no good-very bad times times when no one else was and i'm so incredibly thankful for that that i want to win the lottery and send you presents every single day for the rest of your life. i love you and you are awesome and you live too far away. ♥
- Mah bb :3 ♥
- I think you're really, really fabulous and I wish I knew you better. ♥
&all of you; and to the last anon, I would love to get to know you better.
When the weather is nice, after I get home from work and shuffle through the mail, I'll do a walk around my suburb. Today I decided to go the opposite way I normally do (because as my mum says "change is as good as a holiday") and in the last 10 minutes before I reached home I was honked at by a random driver. I was looking at my phone at the time, so glanced up to see some dude leering at me as he drove past. People are strange. And really, I was sweating, in shorts and a t-shirt - I looked terrible. WHY ARE YOU HONKING?
Today I spent some time thinking that I wish I'd booked some leave over the holiday period. I decided to work and save my leave for next year (which the Acronym doesn't encourage) so I'm covering people in my old team. I might actually be busy over the next three weeks. I'll definitely be working from varying offices and home but the only thing I'm hoping is that I don't have to do a great deal of reporting.
Other things:
- Oprah has invaded the country and we have nothing else newsworthy.
- Krispy Kreme just came out of voluntary administration here in Australia and are giving away free donuts until the end of the week. Pretty sure half the graduates at work collected some over their lunch breaks.
- Pay day tomorrow. Finally. In between my car, normal bills, flights and present shopping my savings have not received much this pay cycle.
- Charlie was tweeting about ascendant signs and I'm a Sagittarius with an Aries Ascendant. Astrology is interesting.
- It's been a while since I've found a "new" author. Karen Miller was recommended to me on my trip last year and it wasn't until later this year I took the plunge and bought two of her books which was the Kingmaker, Kingbreaker duo. I enjoyed them a lot, but decided instead of heading straight for the sequels, I jumped universes and into the Godspeaker trilogy. I'm two thirds through the second novel and am enjoying it. The second more than the first because while the main character in the first really made something of herself, her stubbornness and manipulation of everyone (and I mean everyone) around her grated. The heroine of the second book is young and she's going to step in it very soon because she's navigating a political arena of a country that has never had a female ruler? I do admire her for refusing to be led to the alter to become a queen consort and instead claiming her birthright of queen regnant and making her husband king consort. I am a sucker for girls kicking ass and proving to the world that they can do anything they damn well want to. Tamora Pierce was my gateway into Fantasy/SciFi so can you blame me? In summary, give Karen Miller a go. Do you have a new author you're reading the entire back catalogue of?
