letterblade: (squee)

Promised one of the crew that I'd use that phrase in my subject line.

Highlights that I will post in a public entry:

Dream: first HP fandom dream. Was roaming about downtown-Bennington-except not with somebody ([livejournal.com profile] mctabby, perhaps?). Met and was introduced to [livejournal.com profile] faith_accompli and the mysterious Petal; shook hands. Faith was wearing something raggedly and pink; Petal was very small and thin and had short sleek brown hair. Was all.

Food: Free food weekend! The Tiffigoth took us all out to Chinese last night. Am being spoiled. Not used to be spoiled and feeling vaguely guilty; will have to turn up naked at her door someday. Then this morning, after work (I play piano during services at a wee local church), the pastor felt guilty for making me and my friend from Bennington who goes there for actual religious porpoises miss hot brunch back here, so she gave us twenty bucks and sent us off to have lunch on her; so we went to a little diner and got real breakfast. Mmmmm.

Movie: The Shadow of the Vampire. Really, really spiffy. Wish I'd been watching it alone and not in a busy living room so that I could've caught half the dialogue. Fascinating story, good acting, and a drunk vampire. What more could you want?

The other movie: Plans to watching Ringu tonight. When I do horror, I do horror. o.O

Visitor: Rachel, who is a raging extrovert, and talks. Never been under prolonged exposure to Rachel; for one day I was unaffected, for the next I myself was babbling and thinking a mile a minute, and for the third I wanted to crawl into a hole and turn into a raging introvert.

Recent self-exploration decision: I really like semiotics.

Writing: First third of Sidhe and Nails and Sugar Cube Trails done; more parts awaiting assembly; wrote a bit more of the smutty part (go me!). Discovered that the Slyth FF is extending the absolute deadline to the fifteenth; plan to take advantage of that, although I do want to write as much as possible soon so I can let it sit and polish it. Also continuing to prod The Novel. I like it.

Random observation: Christian religious music can be really catchy. As in, invades your brain and causes you to randomly filk your narration of your everyday actions to it catchy.

Received: Tinderblastlove! Letter and copy of Mr. Midshipman Hornblower. Now have two ship novels I'm reading--that and Ship of Magic. Former, ten pages in before I crashed after a four-hour night, has already caused extreme delight at naval terminology--it's like another language. Also oddly curious as to the nature of a tale involving frogs and lobsters. Latter has already caused me to wish to force-feed a ship Prozac. Yes, the ship itself. *loffs liveship concept*

Random observation redux: Admittedly, everybody in a Robin Hobb book needs Prozac. But Paragon needs a dose large enough to kill a horse. ;)

Wondering about: Scratch marks seemingly appearing on my body at random. o.O

Highlights that I wouldn't post in a public entry:

:P

Will have amusing first-time stories, certainly.

You got it, yay! Am most happy. The Frogs and Lobsters refer to - well, you'll see. Not what you're expecting, I don't think.

O.o That's...profoundly disturbing, as it happens. I...I just don't do pink... and Petal's not that mysterious. Well, not t'me anyway, but I'm probably a biased source. She's also tall, the evil cow. ;)

Watch out for people. Make them trim their nails short before y'get naked. *run!*

Maybe I hexed your clothes pink?

'Twas only my subconscious, which has no shame. I figured upon waking that you were not a pink person. Had to post it anyway tho, for the spork value. ;)

Well, that's okay then. ;) Kinda. (Still a bit wierded out that Pet and I featured in your first HP fandom dream. O.o The mind boggles.)

Actually, Prozac would do nothing for Paragon. His problem is not depression, although he could definitely be diagnosed something. You'll find out exactly what his problem is in the third book, although I think there are a few hints in the second.

"Random observation: Christian religious music can be really catchy"

Especially gospel. Just want to bust out the tambourine when I hear that stuff. Also rather funny to hear songs with the worlds "Oh Jesus Bless me!" coming out of the speakers of a jewish boy.
