I'm not dead! whee!

Like really good peanut butter, things are nutty over here. But, you know, one day at a time, and all that. ( quick family update )

Be careful! No falling! {{{{wraps you in padding}}}} <-both figurative and literal

If you're listening to audio books, do not miss Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman. ♥ I also recommend Hot Gate by John Ringo, but mostly for the writing, which is pretty awesome.

I have no idea what I'm writing for the HL exchange. Yikes. Nor any idea when I'm going to have time to write it.

Avengers! There's so much! I don't actually read any of it. But I'm intrigued by Thor/Loki (astolat's pairing!) and anything to do with Bruce Banner. I've read only a very tiny handful of stories, though ( ... )

OH! I LOVED Ananzi Boys! I listened to that one a while back. And that reminds me I forgot to mention The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman, read by Neil Gaimon, which I HIGHLY recommend. Damn, I knew I forgot one that was important. LOL.

But I'm intrigued by Thor/Loki

Oh, right, Thor/Loki. I guess that would be a popular pairing. I wasn't thinking Loki so much as the Avengers themselves. I like Loki, but I'm usually not much into enemy slash. It's not the "enemy" part that bothers me but the irredeemably evil part. :)

I was a little hot/cold on the film, but I did enjoy the dynamic of the group and I like all the little relationships and stuff. I thought it might be fun to read.

Definitely try that first story I linked. It's very team-y. :) In the extreme. :D

Btw! I meant to say I'm on, like, a 14 hand pony for the jump show. So, you know, he's little (but sturdy), it's not like a big jumper or anything. LOL. I actually normally ride this other more regular size horse for jump class but they assigned me this little guy, who I LOVE, so I'm happy. And he's way easier.

Had a nice long comment here and LJ lost it! Arrrr!

So yeah, hope things get better on the parent front. I've been there so if you need to vent, just get in touch. I'm always happy to listen.

I've been doing the audio book thing too. Just finished The Nazi Hunter by Alan Elsner. I'm on a bit of an espionage kick at the moment. So I can rec lots of other things in that area of you're interested.

As for Avengers fic, I read Steve/Tony. Tony/Loki and Clint/Phil are also very popular pairings. Though this is such a big fandom just about anything goes. If it strikes your fancy I'm sure you'll be able to find it.

One of my fav authors in the fandom is

for both Steve/Tony and Phil/Clint.

The In Which Tony Stark... series is really fun ( ... )
