Fandom Stocking, Snowflake Challenge, and other ways of avoiding real life

Jan 08, 2015 17:07

I'm trying to hide from real life: L's big test is tonight, and I'm trying to walk the line between making sure she's focused and prepared and taking it seriously and... psyching her out past a point of usefulness. I'm not sure I'm doing a very good job of it. (I would be much less nervous if it were ME taking the test... XP)

Anyway, so, at least Read more... )

I read a lot of fantastic books because of you. :D You've also linked to several fics and pieces of fanart over the years that I've enjoyed as well.

How did L feel about the test when it was over? (A three hour test at her age? SHEESH!) When will you find out the results?

Hamster icons and banners are adorable. In the second hamster icon, what is he holding?

I am always thrilled when you pick up a new series from my recs :)) (And you've definitely reciprocated plenty -- both for me and for the rodents :D)

L felt she did fine, but mostly she was just tired. There are really long tests... and the catholic one was 4 hours long with only a couple of minutes of breaks. Crazy!

Second hamster is wearing a sweater :D (which is hard to tell at this size, unfortunately)

If there's a book you picked up, or poem or fic you read, because I was talking about it, or a community you joined, or a fun meme or icon or silly timewasting game you found, or a random headcanon or phrase you've acquired because of me, directly or indirectly, or anything of this sort which makes you glad that you did, and you feel like telling me about it, please do!

My answer is the same as last year (Discworld - which I've only read 4 - 5 books from, but I am enjoying going through the books at my own glacial place!), but I should also mention that you have increased my liking toward a lot of minor ASOIAF characters, such as Walder Frey and of course, Leonette Fossoway (by virtue of you knowing that she is, in fact, a character). :D

Also, all the hamster graphics are too freaking cute. Nicely done!

I'm very glad that you are continuing to enjoy Discworld! (and it took me ages to read through the books, too, so glacial pace is no bad thing)

Leonette Fossoway (by virtue of you knowing that she is, in fact, a character). :D

Haha, yes! accomplishment! :D

And odd as that sounds, I am always very happy to be associated with Walder Frey.

And thank you re: rodent graphics! :D
