Stuff

I've got tickets to see Serenity in Nottingham on the 20th of September!! Yay! How cool is that!

Another rec from me: I finally got around to reading [livejournal.com profile] prankstersguide. It's a (mostly) Marauder era collaboration with fics centered around a book the Marauders wrote called the Pranksters Guide. It's hilarious in some places and quite poignant in others. And one of the only places where I've seen Peter as Scabbers fic.

I finally got my mp3 player replaced yesterday and spent ages yesterday putting all the music back on. Hopefully this will last a bit longer than eight months... I'm a bit worried because as I said a few entries back, it seems like I'm not the only one that this has happened too. Bugger. I still love the little thing though and it keeps me entertained on the bus to work.

I think I may try and ride Oscar tomorrow. He's got some shoes back on, I've been giving him anti-inflammatory stuff and the ground is a bit softer now so hopefully he'll be ok. We'll see.

I've just looked back at my entries for the past month or so and none of them are much longer than a paragraph! I quite clearly suck at journalling. And I still don't have anything to say despite realising that. Ah well. I never seem to really say anything much about my personal life any more. Then again, I've never pretended that this journal was anything more than shallow fannish squee. I kept wanting to say something about the terrible devastation and tragedy that Hurricane Katrina left in its wake but I just didn't have the words. I can't understand how the rescue operations took so long and were such a mess but I'm very glad to see that the people are finally getting help.

I always like your journal! I think you are v good at journalling, and also at verbing.

I will have to read that as soon as I am a bit better and have the patience for whole paragraphs of this thing you call writing.

Oh, and I changed my moodtheme. *g*

By 'that' I mean [livejournal.com profile] prankstersguide. You see what I mean about this whole problem with writing and such?

I am the king of verbing!

And I hope you feel well enough for reading soon. Feeling like shit and being unable to concentrate is the worst thing.

Nice moodtheme! I'm feeling a bit nostalgic for mine now...

Ah, thanks for the link to prankstersguide. I found that ages ago, started reading, really enjoyed it, then couldn't for the life of me remember how to find it again.

*sigh* I hear you on Hurricane Katrina. I keep wanting to say something, but can't, so I don't say anything. It was just so awful.

No problems. I did the same with it and only rediscovered it a couple of weeks ago.

Yeah, my journal is so fluffy and superficial - not necessarily in a bad way, but LJ is definitely something I do for fun - that it seemed wrong to mention it here.
