I feel like a strange confluence of meaningful events have arrived all at once. They do every year, but still, the build-up of symbolic events leaves me feeling rich in emotion, if not entirely sure where to direct my emotional attention. But it's Lent, first of all, and it's also Holy Week, which is even more powerful. And it's Holy Week. Which ( Read more... )

This meme has been intriguing me for awhile. When I first got into fandom, I actually started a word .doc called "If my life were a fandom." It includes an episode list, a cast of characters, a list of possible pairings, and the first sentence of a fanfic. *headdesk*

Used multi-fandom examples. Miss the ministerpeople ( Read more... )

I've realized something: I am not particularly a person of strong opinions. In fact, I am easily malleable in my personality. If you spend enough time with me, you can probably make me into a little duplicate copy of yourself. If you have any particularly strong opinions, I will share them with you, most likely, if I don't already have an opinion ( Read more... )

Happy birthday to noreverchaste

Scrolling marquees aside: yesterday was a fairly ordinary Saturday. I slept late, ate bad food, watched fanvids and read fanfic and procrastinated. Some friends had a dinner party type thing and I saw Clueless again. It's just not the same without Laurie, it's really not ( Read more... )
