Day 01 - A book series you wish had gone on longer OR a book series you wish would just freaking end already (or both!)A book series that I wished had gone on longer? That's a tough one because most of the series' that I love are so good and written by such smart writers that the books were perfectly balanced and ended where they ( Read more... )

My mother has a movie, one movie that she always returns to. One movie that speaks to her in that quietly powerful way that only the truly great movies ever manage to do.
For my mother, that movie is On Golden Pond, with Katherine Hepburn and Henry Fonda. I watch it and I can see the depth of the movie and understand the pull it has on my mother's ( Read more... )

My journey into fanfiction is a unique one, as everyone's always is. It's those stories of how we got here and how we first came across the epic shows and movies that are our homes away from home that make us interesting. As many people have said, the art or the writing may entice us to click a link but it's the people whom we discover there that ( Read more... )

As some of you know, I went to Supanova in Melbourne on Saturday. Here follows a possibly near-faithful account of the weekend...

While it may not be our National Poetry Month, I've been strangely surrounded by poetry in the past few weeks - I've competed in a Fleet poetry competition, been followed by a poetry Twitter account and rediscovered some of my favourite poets from when I was in school. At the moment, however, my favourite poem is actually a song by Vienna Teng. ( Read more... )

So, my birthday was last Sunday. And It. Was. Awesome. Presents I weren't expecting, awesome family get together at the Salmon Ponds and THE best pancakes I have EVER had (mine was salmon, cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and spinach). Then my awesome new laptop finally arrived on Tuesday and I have been in love ever since. As I sit here, writing this on ( Read more... )

A few things that I've been meaning to post for a few days:
(btw I make no apology for the size of these pics - these moments DESERVED it :D)

Stupid story that won't write itself, how dare you! What's worse is I'm halfway through and last night it was flowing so well - then I had to take time out to do something as pointless as sleep and wahay, today I'm staring at a cafe scene and... nothing. I know exactly where I have to go with the plot and I know how to get them there but for some ( Read more... )

It's a Sunday, I'm bored so when an email asks me to do a career-oriented quiz, I (sadly) jump at the chance. After all, the last quiz I did told me I had a 90pt compatibility with Gryffindor and hey, I was actually expecting Ravenclaw, so maybe I don't know me as well as I thought.
Anywho, my results stand thus:

Driver Analysers are task- ( Read more... )

Ok I think I am officially hooked on Avatar: The Last Airbender. I find that I reeeealy can't wait to see what happens to the protagonists in the end or the moment when Zuko finally turns (boy does that kid have some Issues with a capital 'I'). I also absolutely love Zuko's uncle and his inability to identify local flora and fauna... mostly flora: ( Read more... )
