Ho hum.

I've got five lovely reviews of my HP fic now. It makes me happy. And yet I still cannot find a way to describe the Hufflepuff common room. ARGH.

And the Trilogy is going well enough, I guess. Still not done with chapter eight, but it's a rather difficult chapter that I don't want to write. Sigh.

Almost caught up on all my betaing. I love my alphas.

You know what's really annoying? Everyone on the flist is talking about PoA and I still haven't seen it. I don't mind reading about it, I mean, but I really want to see it now and it ticks me off that I can't. Haven't seen The Day After Tomorrow either and I was really looking forward to that one.

naodrith's LJ stalker is nothingbutfic!

nothingbutfic is stalking you because another friend of yours told them you liked them. They are also slowly poisoning you!

So that's why I've been so sick lately! It all makes sense!

ETA: ( That Which Goes On In My Head. )

Oooh.

This is the single best summary of anything I have ever read. Mostly for you, Pyrae, since you expressed sort-of interest.

( Night Watch, by Terry Pratchett )

Also: Never occured to me before that Night Watch was caused by Thief of Time. How strange. Now I really have to reread both of them.

Love

I have been reading N_A and Buggre_Alle_This and it makes me want my own LJ RPG for my characters. It would probably go something like this.

Zacharias: Well, it's that time of the night again. Time for orange juice.
Joseph: I thought you said it's called a screwdriver?
Zacharias: Yes, but it's made of orange juice. Well...mostly orange juice.
Joseph: Okay, I'll meet you outside. Strange, we are writing online when you're just across the hall.
Zacharias: I am always just across the hall. You cannot escape me.
Zacharias: WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY SHOES?

And so on and so forth.

Don't mind me, in pain and sleepy and delusional.

EDIT: Yes, it's out of season. Sue me if you like.

You know, I'm a very lucky girl.

I've got a best friend who will stay up till eleven on a school night screaming random nonsense at me through a computer.

I've got a Legion of Fen/Friends who are always supporting me and, indeed, threaten me if I dare not to dream.

I've got an LJ and a friends list that I can't wait to read every morning, and friends on said list whose backlogs I read just for kicks.

I've got two wonderful alphas who are so talented that I can't believe I'm one of the people who beta for them.

I've got a room full of books, twenty-three of which are Terry Pratchett (or perhaps twenty-four, can't remember if I counted Good Omens or not).

I've got a friend who can listen to me squee and wibble about Noreascon, and who then remembers this and asks for Pterry books so that if I go, she can come with and know what the heck's going on.

I've got a computer which might be slow and occasionally irritating, but which I wouldn't trade for all the new Windows machines in the world.

I've got a beautiful dog who climbed in bed with me last night for no reason and deigned to be petted for ten minutes.

I've also got the privilege of going to bed right now and not having to take a shower first because I have no more school for the summer and I can always do it in the morning.

It is nights like these during which, even though it's very hot and we've no air-conditioning and I've got a scrape on my knee twice the size of a silver dollar, I can honestly say that I'm delighted at being alive.

And amused, of course. Because what is life here for if not to amuse me once in a while?
