My brain on LOTR
So I have errandofmercy's "To the Sea" stuck in my head. It's been there a lot lately - I think it might be planning to move it. Luckily, I'm a step ahead - I already bought it a toothbrush. <3
q-sama and I are very close to finishing The Fic that Ate Our Lives. It's a very exciting time to be Angela. An exciting time to be Lisa, too, I imagine. Right now, I need ( Read more... ) -

I've lived in my house for almost four years. And today I *finally* got rid of the crappy carpet in my bedroom! Tom is on vacation and it's my day off, so we decided to yank up the carpet at long last. The floor looks great. Not perfect, but much better than a floor its age ought to. And so the last of the stupid carpet is out of my house. Now the ( Read more... ) -
Garden! And other stuff!
I spent most of the day outside. It was hot, but wonderful. First I mowed the lawn, which isn't so interesting, except that it definitely has fewer dandelions than it did last month. Other weeds, like clover, seem to be taking over. And I don't mind clover. I actually quite like it. If I could have all clover instead of grass, I'd do it ( Read more... ) -

On Fanfiction
This story I'm writing with q_sama is definitely the most fun writing I've ever done. Even when it's work (Boromir!), it's fun. Nothing keeps you on task and motivated like daily discussions about character backstory, future plot-development, and the instant-feedback that comes from collaboration. And we really need to stay on task with this one! We just ( Read more... ) -

One of the many perks to working in a bookstore: On my luxurious, one-hour lunch break, I was working on the LOTR fic that Li and I are writing together. I needed to research one of Tolkien's sources (for a tongue-in-cheek reference in said fanfic) and my so-named netbook is broken and can no longer access the internet. But - oh happy day! - I was ( Read more... ) -
I'm the one with That Kid
So today I confirmed what I'd been suspecting since Moira started this round of soccer lessons back in March. I have the Bad Kid. At first I told myself each time that it was an isolated thing, that she'd be better the next week, that it was actually kind of cute. Well, the cute has worn off. It started innocently enough - she was excited and ( Read more... ) -
writing!
I'm getting sick. My tonsils feel like they've been sanded. >_On the other hand, I've just finished the first chapter of a new multi-part (read: epic) Lord of the Rings fic. This one is about Eowyn. I had no idea how much I had to say about her, but it looks like it's quite a lot. Also, by the time I'm done, I may just be an expert in the House of ( Read more... ) -
how long has it been?
I was struck with the urge to write today. I've written a bit of LOTR fanfiction in the past few months, but I suddenly missed my lj and the ability to ramble like this ( Read more... )
