Today's been an unexpectedly HP-centric day. Not only did I post a HP fic, which I haven't done in ages, but out of the blue I received two reviews for two different stories (and pairings) from two separate people from my account at wolfiekins' archive, Wolf Moon. I haven't received that kind of response to my stuff in a while, especially not HP. Pretty ( Read more... )

I'm back safely; still dealing a little bit with anxiety of being back in the States and it being so hot and humid. :P There are several people I'll want to call over the weekend and get caught up; several of you should also have received postcards. There are a few additional goodies to send to a few others of you. :) I'm in total withdrawal from matildabishop ( Read more... )

Okay, so no long travelogues from me this trip. I spent several wonderful days with Callum, and the clue about the hippotomai was that he and I went to Longleat and had an African safari by car. There were also secret gardens, ice cream, lions, tigers, giraffes, and other exotica. ;) Two days ago we spent the day in Wales, where I was able to see ( Read more... )

Yes! Still in England, barely made it through this evening's Evensong due to my voice going out. Have made a lovely friend of the tour guide at the York Brewery. Ate way too much at dinner tonight and I feel vile. I'm still sick, though getting better. The problem is that rather than being really congested but my singing voice was fine (2 days ago ( Read more... )

With all seriousness, anyone on my flist who lives in the U.K. who'd like to meet me, here are the dates and times for the services/concerts at which I'll be singing this coming week ( Read more... )

:D :D :D :D :D ♥

I feel like a rock star. It's the first time we've actually talked, and while it couldn't be a long conversation since it wasn't a weekend, I'm so thrilled to have had a conversation at all. I love fandom friends.

That's all, lol.

Yes, I'll be leaving the 'burg here in under 3 hours to head up to visit persephone100, a long-anticipated and hoped for visit now made exceedingly doable thanks to being back in western Virginia. I don't have a laptop and I'm not packing up my stuff (except my flash drive) so I probably won't post except once or twice while with Seph. But we'll be having a ( Read more... )

How these three amazing people all have birthdays on the same day (and one of my stepsisters!) is crazyweirdwonderful to me.

wolfiekins, llembas/Jen and risiepookie, it's technically not quite all of your birthdays, but now I'm in the pacific time zone so I'm wishing you happy birthdays anyway.

My thanks to llembas for being the first person to beta for me, to teach me how to ( Read more... )

Yes, that's me with the house to myself until around 5:00. Yee-ha!!!!

So! I've realized now why the voice narrating The Colour of Magic sounds so familiar. It's because it's being read by Nigel Planer, otherwise known as Neil from "The Young Ones." LOL. I am loving listening to this book.

I'm also excited because elfscribe5 has written a brilliant story ( Read more... )

In looking through my flist last night I stumbled across the talents of aunty_marion who has made some incredible knitted HP characters and even "mini me"s of them! Pictures can be found here at her Flickr page and also here at her knitting and embroidery website. Wow. Such creativity! On my to do list for today is a trip to the yarn store I like. I have two ( Read more... )
