So I'm going to leave this one public 'cause I'm a sucker.

Book recommendations? Anyone?

Here's a few for you.

Skinny Legs and All - Tom Robbins.
Diary - Chuck Palahniuk.
The Chronicles of Chrestomanci (I prefer Volume I) - Diane Wynne Jones.
It's Kind of A Funny Story - Ned Vizzini.
Memoirs of a Geisha - Authur Golden.
Ender's Game - Orson Scott Card.
Hairstyles of the Damned - Joe Meno.
So You Want to Be A Wizard... - Diane Duane. (so much better than it sounds, I promise.)
Uglies - Scott Westerfield.

I tried to go for a few different genres. But, you know, ask specifically and I'm sure I can think of something.

YOU GUYS I MISS FANDOM SO MUCH

i'm all concerned with moving into my new apartment, and drowning in homework, and work, and just AHHHH I MISS ALL OF YOU AND ALL OF THE BATSHIT CRAZINESS AND SIDJFLSDIJFLSDF

this is my face right now: D:

hopefully i'll be around more later this month (THANKSGIVING BREAK HELL YES) and in december for HUGE BREAK and i want to WRITE (i'm doing nanowrimo but i don't have TIME and it's so ANNOYING) and talk to all of you on my flist that i miss (D: D: D:) and i just need to put a big sign on my calendar that says "MAKE TIME FOR FANDOM."

I AM SO FULL OF EPIC FAIL RIGHT NOW. I WANT TO WRITE OR READ OR DO SOMETHING BUT I PROCRASTINATED MYSELF INTO A HOLE AND NOW HAVE TWO DAYS TO DO A PAPER WHEN I AM ALSO WATCHING TRANSFORMERS WITH THE BF AND WORKING SDAOIDJFSODF

oh my god i fail at life.

every time i come back from mini-hiatus, the fandom is in an uproar! all i have to say about it is back up your files, have a spare lj, and you should probably be fine. granted, i'm over 18 so i don't have much to worry about. and i don't write porn. so yeah.

GUYS I WROTE A LITTLE YESTERDAY. yay. i'll keep working on it, it's not that i've forgotten, it's that i'm busy with school and boyfriend and MOVING OUT SOON OMGWTFBBQ and still kind of trying to shove my writer's block off of a cliff, but i'm working on it. :D

so, since i'm lazy, what exactly is going on with fandom? it all started in pornish_pixies again, right? only now its protecting children from porn? question: if all porn websites have to do is say, "PLEASE CLICK THIS LINK ONLY IF YOU ARE OVER 18," why does lj have to do any more? and like, fic is being deleted and stuff. wtf. this is madness, dude.

HOLY GOD I HAVE NOT BEEN ON LJ IN SO LONG. like four days! this is a record!

could you like, do me an enormous favor and link me to good fic i might have missed? i'm going to scan my flist but i'll still probably miss half of it.

WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON IN YOUR LIVES, FLIST? have i missed anything? i hope you are all well and lovely!

in an hour i am off to see hey chris! and then on saturday i am going to laugh at pete wentz at the mall! I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO BUSY IN MY LIFE.

for the wrong_maps challenge: seattle, wa.
fake, no harm intended, et cetera.

697 words, and the getting completely lost and ending up in chinatown happened to me a couple weeks ago. :/ you miss one left turn and BAM, you don't know where the hell you are. it's short and sappy.

( i'm a stitch away from making it )

since i seriously CAN NOT WRITE ANYTHING lately, i'm doing drabble/ficlet requests. pairing and prompt, or just prompt, whichever. anything you like, so long as it's within my area of knowledge.

or just tell me how to fix my deadbeat brain.

or, if you're willing to let me bounce my frustration and ideas off of you, hit me up on aim. D:

someone cut me off - i'm 2,013 words into a reverse animal transformation fic. and it wants a body-swap sequel/companion bit.

there is crack in my drinking water. neverminding that i don't drink tap water - it's like, seeping into my skin through my shower, or something.

HOKAY METHINKS IT'S TIME FOR BED.
