That is so awesome! Yay! It's awful to be displaced and that was a good long time to be out of your hanging out and relaxing space. A fanfic friend of mine in Dublin is recovering from a flooded apartment in Dublin at the moment--Lanyon, you might know her. She did some stuff in a couple of our special event thingies. Dagor Dagorath modern day stories with Finweans? I fell in love with her over Maedhros/Fingon.
I do know lanyon! Her B2MeM pieces from a few years ago were gorgeous beyond words. I'd no idea she was in Dublin; will have to keep that in mind next time we head in that general direction. :)
It was worse for Bobby than for me. I still had my "room of my own"--my study--but he lost his workspace in the library and his chillout space on the couch. And to add insult to injury, we were finally able to afford to turn the satellite TV back on so he could watch sports, about one week before the flood happened. :^|
I was mostly burning myself out because, in absence of being able to put on a movie a few times per week, I was spending my "fun time" reading, and I was always reading something school-related. It felt very good to kick back and let my brain rest for an hour!
She is terrific. About your age. She's a pathologist. She writes about the Finweans like she knows them personally! I love that in a writer. I never understand how people bounce around from character to character (fic swap to fic swap seemingly indifferent who they get stuck with) because I need to really get under a character's skin myself. I can tell when someone has done it and she has done so. It means she write them in Valinor in the Time of the Trees or London in the 1990s or some future dystopian world facing the final battle.
Good, for Bobby! And I do know what you mean about not having down time. I do that to myself. One only have one TV and I usually don't want to watch what others are watching and then don't take advantage of it when I have the house to myself.
Alex makes a great pillow. Not right now. He smells too bad (he's getting a bath this weekend so that he doesn't stink for Thanksgiving). But normally ...
The little two-person couch he and I were trying to share in the living room just wasn't cutting it, though! :)
