I'm here!

HAI!

(actually, you're right re. the slowness... I feel like I'm kinda inundating people with fic because there's not many other people posting stuff at the moment and I can't seem to stop except me!)

Also, I've never seen an episode of The West Wing. I'm guessing you recommend it? Care to give me a brief synopsis?

HELLO!! :D Another soul, yay! *waves*

Oh geez, it's been a good while since I've read fic of any kind (in fact, Somebody's Broken Heart Becomes Your Favourite Song was the last, I think).

I TOTALLY recommend it! :D It's about the daily going ons of the U.S. President and his senior advisors. Okay, I just made it sound seriously boring, but I suck at summaries, so I'm referring you to Wiki. It's also incredibly witty, and clever, and just laugh-out-loud comedic at times. And just so it doesn't seem like I'm painting this out to be the perfect show, I'll be the first to admit that it took me three tries to get through the pilot episode (fell asleep the first two times, lol). It took me a few eps to warm up to, but about half a dozen episodes in, it was all love ( ... )

Hmm, American politics? Not entirely convinced I can stretch to that, but alas, I shall give it a try (or, at least I'll TRY to give it a try... it's not airing here at the moment, I'll have to check out the video store or maybe download some eps...). If it doesn't take itself too seriously then I can probably overlook the fact that it's based around US politicians ( ... )

Most of the time, it definitely doesn't take itself seriously. Observe:

LOL! That's embarrassing! Although, if you had mentioned the stamp thing, you'd just be showing your age ;) And, if it makes you feel better, NOBODY I texted can figure out how to place a hold! I guess we're all equally stupid, haha. Also, I like how you said this your "most recent" library story; how many do you have?! lol!

Oh, yeah I know...But, I just meant I haven't read any from any fandom lately. Not even from my latest TV obsession (The West Wing)...Which is odd =/ Especially since it's summer and everything!

Yeah I know, it's eerily quiet around here, stuff from yesterday is taking up half my flist *frowns and observes tumble weed with suspicion*

I didn't like the Time Traveler's Wife either. I read two chapters and didn't pick it up again. This could also be due to my total lack of interest in books in general lately but... Idk. I had the opportunity to watch the movie on the weekend and chose moping around and painting my fingernails ghastly colours instead - I think this says something, lol.

So, I stumbled upon your LJ, long story, but then I saw this post and had to comment.

I read The Time Traveler's Wife last Summer and it was one of the most amazing books I've ever read. It's slow in some places and Henry is odd, but the more you read the book the more you can't put it down. It is just such an amazing, epic book. So, I recommend you keep with it, it should get really good soon.

I really like the format it's written in, the back and forth of time. Heh, I still have my friend bugging me to read it, so I dunno, I'll keep in mind what you said, and might just go back to it :)

Thanks for dropping by!
