Who put the monkey heads near the Styx water? Do we *want* to pick exploded monkey out of our hair?

(quote from btvs 5:4) So I thought I would share What I Did While LJ Was Down:

1. Lamented to myself that I’d recently posted Chapter Three of If I Can’t Dance (my new S/X fic) and now it was likely to have low readership and comments. (What? That wasn’t a subtle self-pimp?! *ahem ( Read more... )

vid recs, harry potter, 24, pimp, bsc

Yes!!! I'm so addicted to that BSC blog, it really takes me back *and* it's neat to read about what happened in the series once I stopped reading. She also has a really fun take on the books - the snark is awesome! She updates weekly so I find it easy to keep up-to-date.

I also read those books furiously! I had #1-40 and 5 Super Specials. It was definitely an early fandom for me. I can't remember if I had a favourite or not either. I remember thinking the characters were so stylish and now when I read the outfit descriptions on the blog I cringe. Oh! I remember I went to see the movie even though I was way too old just because I wanted to see how they'd adapted it. I recall thinking it was alright. *sigh* I loved that series.

But then I hit Grade 8 or so and it probably wasn't cool anymore ;)
Oh yes, that happened to me too. In fact, I suspect I read them a bit longer than was cool to - I just didn't tell anyone I was still reading them!

I remember being so jealous when they went on a Cruise!! heee! Oh, and the camp one - so different than my own summer camp!

Was actually motivated to work on my least favourite task at work due to exhausting all the tabs I had open.

*g* I actually got lesson planning done last night!

Oh, and re: your HP discussion I thought you might enjoy reading this from a set visit to the Colbert Report yesterday:

I guess they usually chat a little bit first to make sure the connection's good, and Jon started out by saying, "Stephen, how's the little girl?" And Stephen said, "Oh, she's okay." And then he turned to us and told us that his daughter had been in the hospital all weekend. So Jon was asking how she was, and Stephen said she was doing better, and home, and the antibiotics had worked... Stephen said, "All she wanted for this weekend was to lie in bed and read Harry Potter without her brothers bothering her. So I told her that she was getting that, only every once in awhile someone would come in and jab her with a needle." And we laughed, and then Stephen said, "VOLDEMORT!" and made a stabbing motion.

hi!

i haven't read any of the babysitter's club books or harry potter, so... i'm sure most of that will be lost on me, lol

but i was caught in the same power outage as livejournal yesterday, which i thought was funny once i'd gotten out of work and tried to check my flist in a cafe.

and then i realized how much else i look at went down in the same crash, because i, too, tried to log onto craigslist.

speaking of craigslist: *waggles eyebrows* just why, praytell, are you looking at craigslist? ;)

also: hi! you've posted a couple of things now that i'm chomping at the bit to read, and have not had the time for. and i feel like i haven't said hi in a while. :)

Hi! Awww to not having read BSC or HP - both are so fun! Okay, well I'm not sure if I'd suggest reading BSC *now*, but it was fun when I was younger. But I do enjoy the diversion of HP, it makes me happy. I was talking to someone today who didn't read HP and I was like "What *did* you do on the weekend?!" (I am being silly of course! *g*)

speaking of craigslist: *waggles eyebrows* just why, praytell, are you looking at craigslist? ;)
Oh, opps! I did a bad job explaining on my post: #5 (which follows the comment about craigslist) is the posting on craigslist I was trying to look at. It's the gay HP sex party. That's a link that's amusing to check out even if you don't read the books!

heee! That's amusing that you were caught in the power outage and then tried to check your flist!

And hi! That's lovely to hear! I totally get that, you have a number of things I've been wanting to read too. It's so hard to stay on top of things. :D

It's the gay HP sex party. Oh! lol, only that? ;) very cool, i will check it out!

It's so hard to stay on top of things Man, yes. I was just saying to yourlibrarian on her latest poll (which, have you seen it yet? it's really interesting) that it feels like it's really hard to balance being a reader, a writer, and just a plain ol' fangirl sometimes... not to mention, you know, RL. *g*

You're so right - it's so hard to balance all those things. When I'm really trying to write, I frequently won't read fic because I've found if I decide to read and comment on a few things it'll take up my whole night and I won't get any writing done. Oh yes, RL that can be hard to fit in too! :D Oh, and I did see the poll!

There was LJ down time? ::blinks:: *That's* what I get for sleeping - honestly!! :)
Glad HP is keeping you obsessive :D

cordelianne July 26 2007, 21:00:38 UTC
heeee! You totally win for missing the downtime!! That's awesome, it just proves how excellent sleep is.

Oh yeah, HP is my fun new summer distraction! :D
