So what the ?!"£$%&* makes a mixing bowl EXPLODE?
Imagine you have a girl who bakes often, and so who's perfectly used to melting chocolate in the microwave. She does it always in the same plastic bowl that is definitely microwaveable.
One day, she breaks up some chocolate-- not the sort she's used to using, but she's seen it used in things like chocolate sauces before-- and puts it in the ( Read more... ) -
Query: Fan fiction, here?
Someone recently suggested that I should start posting my fan fiction on LJ.
I like the idea that I might get more reviews. As it happens, one of my fanfic names is the one I use here: Mouse Tourmaline.
But I don't want to alienate the people who read this journal for me, not for my skills at writing one-shots.
So what should I do? I want people's ( Read more... ) -

After a couple of years away from home, I have someone, now, that I think of as close to being a best friend, even though we've ( Read more... ) -
Danny's Agent!
A few days ago, I was unhappy about all the tension in my university town. I wished there were some way of brightening people up even so close to their Finals.
Then yesterday, I got an urge to walk into a bookshop for no apparent reason. And what should I find there?
A book by Danny Wallace, that's what.
For those who don't know, Danny Wallace is one ( Read more... ) -
University in Limbo/ Belated Eurovision Comment
I've been noticing for a couple of weeks now that I seem to be the only person around my college unaffected by a kind of mounting tension that's building up around everyone else. People are more jittery, less inclined to relax. And I've never seen such big lecture audiences.
Today I finally figured it out. My subject is one of the only ones not to ( Read more... ) -
Well, here I am.
It struck me last night that I really am the last of my friends to have neither a Myspace or a Livejournal. So here I am ( Read more... )
