I’ve been meaning to post this for a while, just for one reason or another, haven’t gotten to it before now! So without further ado, in no particular order, the Things That Have Made Me Happy Recently list:

Real life.
1) MY FATHER’S GONE FOR A WEEK, WOOHOO! He’s off on a business trip to the Middle East, flitting from Dubai to Abu Dhabi to other

LOL. Your Snape cutout kinda scares me :P

[borg_princess]

DUDE, he scared me the first few times as well! Mother laughed at me, all, 'How did you forget he was there so soon?' but it's like, you get used to things being a certain way and when it changes, you get freaked out.

So I'd walk into my room and my heart would nearly leap out of my chest when I see this dark shadow, like, 'OMG, SOMEONE'S IN MY ROOM, PANIIIC. Oh, wait, it's just Snape!'

The part that makes me lol is how the packaging described him as perfect for parties- like, what, who would seriously have a Snape cutout at a party?! A HP party, perhaps, but...the idea's just hilarious if it's a general party...

Woo-hoo for a week with your dad away!!!! I hope its the most awesome week ever and doesnt go by too fast. You deserve it *hugs*

[borg_princess]

*squish* It's been pretty stellar already! Mother and I have been staying up late watching dvds- Castle, mostly- which has been a lot of fun! :D And I just like being able to relax and do things without worrying he'll have a fit over something and start scolding me, it feels good!

[queenofcups]

I hope you enjoy your week to its fullest and that it doesn't fly by the way things so often do when we want them to last.

Happy to see so many happy-making things in this post! <3 You deserve them all. I have an unhealthy obsession with buying things just so I can regularly receive packages in the mail, but I never have the patience to savor them. I'm like a little kid at Christmas, even though I usually already know what the package contains. I love mail lol

[borg_princess]

Hee, def making the most of time while I've got it! ^_^ Mama and I have had a few tiffs, but that's just regular stuff you gotta deal with, it's been nice not having any major drama.

Yeah, I tend to use LJ to vent a lot, which is an important function I stand by whole-heartedly, but I figured it was time to show I could be happy as well! Lol, I'm too cheap to buy stuff for myself that often, but it's cute that you get packages that you're all squeeful over, even if you know what's in it already!

Ack, well, it's a shame you had such a hard time birthing this fic, but for all that agonizing and effort, I'm here to tell you that you done good. I'm a little sad there's not been much good, long SSHG fics lately, so this is just like heaven.

I'm glad you liked my prompt! I have no idea what to do for the SSHG exchange (you signing up for that, btw?), I just suck at thinking up prompts, lol.

it's worryingly easy for me to be snarky and sarcastic and unnecessarily mean, haha.IKR? Before HiH, I hadn't written much of anything for years,

[queenofcups]

I knowww, the fic world is very dry recently. I have taken to rereading old favorites, which is nice too, but I would love something new and lengthy to get into. At least the exchange usually produces some great stuff so we will have more eventually.

I don't think I'm signing up. I have considered it and I would kind of like to since it's given me so many favorite fics, but writing for someone else is really not my cup of tea. It makes me too anxious and angry at the writing process haha, which I usually love. And I seem to do better when I can just write little one-shots, even though they're not what I prefer to read. *sigh* Alas. And I agree, I hate trying to come up with prompts. This is why I love HiH; they give me the prompts and then it's usually perfectly easy for me to create something around them.

[borg_princess]

*sigh* I'm trying to be patient, but it's months til the exchange will be up and posting! SEPTEMBER, aiyiyi!

That's fair enough, bb, you write at your own pace. I've been wanting to do the exchange for ages now, but I've only just recently got up the courage to be able to do it. It's not something that you just do on impulse, or because you think you should, otherwise it'll be an absolutely wretched experience.

I wish I could do more SSHG for the HiH prompts! But I tend to do random other characters 'coz they're easier. I haven't been too proud of the calibre of fics I've been posting either (only the ones I like get posted on my journal, if I post them on WB or SQ, it's 'coz I'm not so happy with them, lol), I really need to stop procrastinating and try to do justice to my OTP!

I have an idea in my head atm, but it's so angsty and absolutely cruel to Snape, IDK if I can go through with it, ack. *hugs him*

[hoshinekoyasha]

When you said you wanted reeses peices i assumed you meant reeses peanut butter cups until I got to the story was was reminded they had like five variations so i ended up getting you both.

Im so glad morgause came back, you knew they wouldnt kill apreggers lady, right? XD

FRIDAY FRIDAY MADOKA AIRS ON FRI THEN DR WHO ON SAT.
I doubt there will be another seaosn of the show the way the finale has gone though :( Shaft is working on anther project

[borg_princess]

OMG, THAT VIIIIIIID. It is so freaky and scary and ARGH, FLAWLESS.

Aww, you're too sweet! I did mean the peanut butter cups- never knew there was any other kind, though I do think there might be ice-cream?- but it's awesome you got me both, just to cover your bases!

Im so glad morgause came back, you knew they wouldnt kill apreggers lady, right

*nodnod* You know what's funny, though, they couldn't really hide Emilia's pregnancy to the point that in my head, when you were joking about it being Morgana's baby, I thought, 'Oh, hey, that makes sense, maybe they did a spell or something,' and then realized- HANG ON, MORGAUSE WASN'T WRITTEN AS PREGNANT. Totally head!canon now...

I love the pics- they're not that clear and a bit from a distance away, but d'aww, the middle one with Morgause's arm around her! And then I think it's Emilia laughing, 'coz that doesn't seem like it'd be in character, but still! :D

FRIDAY FRIDAY MADOKA AIRS ON FRI THEN DR WHO ON SAT

DIED LAUGHING, ACK. That is so wrong but so funny.

doubt there will be

[hoshinekoyasha]

There is ice cream! it is very good. Come to America so you can eat it.

YOURE FUCKING WELCOME.

Sorry, I was referring to Shaft's production of the last two eps. theyve been having ~problems with it.

...I made you try umineko, right?

[borg_princess]

Noooo. O.o Please don't try to get me hooked on another show! You brainwasher, you!

AHAHA, yeah, going halfway across the world for ICE CREAM. I may as well sell my soul for a never-ending supply of ice cream, that'd be about as justifiable!

Oh, yeah, those problems they mentioned...I hope anything they changed, it was for the better...I'll be so bitter if they redid it for an angsty super-tragic ending. :O

O. M. G. What did you just make me WATCH? *scrubs brain* WROOOOONG.

swkljdfhuskuhdgs END OF MADOKA

My friend subscribes to NicoNico Douga, which always airs the episodes after the primary airing, and I'm tempted to watch it with her on those, but my Japanese is so terrible, I'm willing to wait a few extra days for the subs so I don't miss anything.

[borg_princess]

*FLAILFLAILFLAILDIES*

I wish the last two eps weren't airing at once! I'd rather them being one a week so as to extend the squee and anticipation! This way it's ALL OVER IN ONE GO. ACK.

Lol, at least you know Japanese! I'd have NO hope at all of understanding it without subs. Well, you'll see it before I do- you must post about it or at least spoil me for the ending! I don't wanna be blindsided!

[borg_princess]

Randooom!

[maypirate]

SAYAKA'S FACE IS AMAZING!!!

This is my happy ending for Mami and Charlotte. They have constant tea parties together.
