The long and winding road...

[ladyjaida]

Still trying to figure out all the jigglies and the higglies of LJ as it stands these days - and whether or not I'll get my emperor's new groove, after the hacking stuff and the downtime and my inability to do the old posteroo without busting out in hives - but I wanted to drop in again and say thanks for the wondrous welcomes and the kind words

I didn't get a chance to comment on your last entry, but I"m very glad you're back!

[ladyjaida]

I am so glad to speak to you again! Whereabouts are you these days? How are you hanging? Are you chilling like a villain? Do you still have the infamous handbag of iconical legend?

[audesapere]

I'm in Indiana, but it's been awful here so I'm trying to move to Portland this summer. i am hanging slightly askew, and not really chilling like a villain or even a hero, but, yes, I do still have That Handbag, although it is now relegated to special occasions only.

Et tu?

[ladyjaida]

Let's chill like antiheroes together! ( You know how I love me some antiheroes! ) That Handbag deserves to be treated like the Not So Minor deity it is. Handbags like that don't come to most people. You're one of the chosen ones!

I'm pretty askew myself, but at least it's a good view! I'm enjoying the bizarre - if mildly apocalyptic - weather and trying to figure out how twitter works. Or maybe it doesn't work. Maybe I need a magic wand. I knew I shouldn't have left my old one in my back pocket, then tossed it into the wash. Now it just sizzles sadly whenever I try to cast spells.

I voted! Obviously Have would win.

[ladyjaida]

Shall I give you miscellany or mischief? Or all my thanks, or all my madness? :D

[leiascully]

Mischief, please!

[ladyjaida]

I will let you know right away when the mischief has been managed!

[ladyjaida]

It's been such a tight race the whole way! No matter what, it's been a mighty ferocious ride. ( Stop this train, I need to get off, there's too much excitement! )

Rook would not be pleased.

[ladyjaida]

Now you're thinking like my girl! Rook calls it confidence. Have calls it charming. Pretty much everyone else calls it weird but only when neither of the parties can overhear. ( And that one time Rook did overhear, Luvander found himself dangling by the grace of his bootlaces out the window of the Airman. )

So long as that boy knows how to fly, they'll get along juuuuuuuuuuust fine.

[lap_otter]

I voted! And I'm glad I did, since Have is only ahead by 13 votes. Too bad it won't let me vote more than once!

As far as I'm concerned, you've already done "something" for me just by putting Havemercy into the world, so no "something"s required here.

[ladyjaida]

It's neck and neck! Metal cog and ... sharp spear? Jowl to jowl! They've been back and forth since the match started and I can't take the agony of suspense anymore! At least she's giving it the good ol' Thremedon try! <3

[cerulean_sky]

I voted for Have as well. Though, when I voted, she was down by at least 20. I hope she pulls ahead in the end!

[ladyjaida]

Thank you! It turns out having zero internet presence means nobody knows you exist. As good as this was for my career as super-secret spy-slash-ninja-assassin, it was not so good for interpersonal relationships or promoting literary take-no-prisoners cage matches. Go figure!

( And we all know I'd rather be a pirate anyway. Yarrrrrrrrr! )
