Jan. 1st, 2005 08:00 pmHAPPY NEW YEAR!
(This new year is especially happy because I GRADUATE THIS YEAR AHAHA YES!)
I was especially excited to put my FA 2005 calendar up. *g* I'm such a geek. It's a very nice calendar, though. MWPP teach people grammar in October. *giggles*
There's so much snow that it's only Saturday and already we know that schools are closed on Monday. I think we're supposed to get even more tonight. o.O SO MUCH SNOW.
Changed my journal layout back to what it was like a year ago, as I was tired of the old one. Now let's just see if I can figure out how to spruce this thing up properly...
Anyway, a bit about my trip:
On Christmas Eve, one of my second cousins and I started talking about HP, and she mentioned how obsessed with it her boyfriend is. I told her I was obsessed with it too, and said, "Have you heard of the Harry Potter for Grownups Yahoo group?" She had, and said her boyfriend was probably part of it. I told her I help run it. Ehehehehe. I didn't ask if she'd heard of FA, though, as the conversation wandered onto something else, but it's sorta funny to think of my family members as knowing about fandom things...
Also, I'd brought five books with me, because I thought I would have the internet most of the time. By Sunday (I left on Friday), I'd finished four of the five (the fifth was Hamlet, which I have to read for English, and which I'm ignoring), so on Monday, when we got to Santa Cruz, my mom and dad and twin, and I went to the Borders downtown, and I bought three more books, including Wyrd Sisters (which is therefore the first Discworld book I have ever owned). It was after that trip that I found out I couldn't go online thanks to that stupid virus, and so I finished one of the new books that night and started on another one. The next day, my mom, twin, little sister, and I went to the mall, and I bought another two books, Night Watch and Hogfather, and read Mort in the hour and a half in the bookstore that my mom gave me before we had to leave. And before we left for Reno again, I'd finished all my new books but one.
This was interspersed with reading the entirety of a 1,389 page fanfic I've got saved on my computer, plus other shorter fics, and writing some myself.
...I love the internet.
Anyway, here's something I gacked from
thistlerose,
blacksatinrose, and
anniesj.
( The OTP meme )
...Of course, I'm not active in all those fandoms, but they're the ones I like enough to read fic in, so that's enough for me.
