Very randomly, I want a balloon

[rynne]

My first crack_broom rec is up! Go read it here. :D

I'm trying to rec some of the less well-known stories and authors--pretty much everyone knows shoebox_project and musesfool and copperbadge and anniesj and casirafics, so I won't be doing any by them--but this is an exception. Like I said in the rec, ever since I saw crack_broom and beat froda_baggins (:p!) to the spot of first Remus/Sirius reccer, I knew that this fic would be the first one I recced. All the others will be less well-known ones, though--I've already got them all planned out. :D

Know what's ironic? Last night, as I was falling asleep, I was for some reason thinking, "Oh, my period should be next week." Then I wake up this morning and there it is. -_-; I hate it when it's early, sigh. Cramps are somehow always worse when it is. But it's better than being late, I suppose. *ponders*

Does anyone else think that words are really weird sometimes, if you stare at them? Take "brother", for instance. Stare at it. After looking at it long enough, it almost seems like a nonsense word. Lots of other words too. Maybe if you stare at almost any word, it will start to look weird.

Why yes, I am quite tired. I should probably go to bed soon.

*reads more fics first*

Speaking of balloons - have you seen pauraque's the Dread Baloon Survivor-ish episodes? They're really quite amusing.

And yes, when tired most of the english language looks.. gibberishy :D

Also, if you say the word over and over, it sounds like nonsense. *random*

I, for one, can't wait to read you rec . . . even if it has to wait until tomorrow. *sigh* But thistlerose! Yay!

[krabapple.livejournal.com]

Oh, "your" rec. Must go to be before typos take over the world!!!

Words do that to me a lot. Any word I type over and over or a word that I don't use too often starts to look like something completely weird and made up.

I'm afraid of balloons. Seriously. >_<

I wanted to put that in the subject heading so I can use the message box exclusively for blushing and stammering and squeeing and saying "thank you thank you thank you." *hugs* Your the bestbestbest!

my favourite word is usurp. i didn't realize it was so dangerous, but once i said it a few times aloud (under my breath), it took over my brain and now i scribble it 9-15 times on every sheet of paper i come across. er.

crack broom! i didn't have time to read all of it, but thanks for reccing thistlerose's fic... something to look forward to! :)

My period's late, which I know for a fact has everything to do with stress and nothing to do with pregnancy.

Ah..it doesn't really work with brother..I think..
But i guess it's because English isn't my mother-tongue. But I know what you mean. In German it works best with "Bleistift" (pencil) XD. Ah, I don't know why.

Then I wake up this morning and there it is. -_-; I hate it when it's early, sigh.
- poor girl ._.

"Tissue" has always held a strange fascination for me. When you say it a couple of times, it loses its meaning altogther, and just becomes very syllabic (?)

Hee. *hugs back* Of course you're the first rec! It really couldn't be anyone else but you! :D

When I was about fourteen, my period was around three months late, and I was like "O.o WTF I'M A VIRGIN WHY IS IT SO LATE?"

Though lately I consistently get it early, so maybe it's making up for that. :p
