| adventdrabbles #3: Pretty Ribbons |
[03 Dec 2009|11:07pm] |
Title: Pretty Ribbons
Fandom: HP
Pairing: Billville
Rating: PG
Neville prided himself on being prepared and having everything he needed for Christmas. This year, he'd managed to finish his shopping early and had the entire afternoon free to complete the next step in the gifting process; wrapping. He pondered each person and their gift before choosing the perfect paper.
After wrapping and tagging the gifts, he stacked them neatly before placing them underneath the tree.
Bill came home and looked at Neville's handiwork. "Pretty presents, Neville, but where are the ribbons? It's not Christmas without ribbons.
Neville glared at him, and then conjured a red ribbon over Bill's lips.

Title: Ice Skating At Night
Author: unbroken_halo
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG
Prompt: #3
Warning: None
Disclaimer: Harry Potter and company belong to JK Rowling. Song Title by Ocean Blue.
Author's Notes: Harry enjoys the delights of winter.
Harry stopped to watch the ice skaters of all ages glide around the arena. He nudged Draco, pointing at a small child taking her first lesson. "Look at that. I always wanted to learn, but never had the chance."
"Whatever for? Seems a bit danger--"
Harry hopped the barrier, slipping and sliding across the ice toward the ticket rental booth.
Draco shook his head and drew his wand. "Bloody Gryffindor idiot." He watched Harry tug on the skates. Carefully, he flicked his wand at Harry, casting a Cushioning Charm when Harry began to wobble his way across the rink.

I think it's about time to admit to the one thing I haven't wanted to, but I am so far out of the HP fandom it's uncomfortable. That creative spark I used to have for it has fizzled and popped. *POP* This isn't something new. Most of you, by now, have noticed that I only talk about real life happenings and Merlin on this journal. I love all my HP flisters. I comment on your journals all the time. That's not going to stop, but that burning, flaily love I used to have is just dead.
Dead I say.
I doubt it is going to come back any time soon, but who knows, right? I sure don't.

| a random rant + stuff |
[03 Dec 2009|01:48pm] |

Getting e-mail responses from my senators always makes my blood pressure skyrocket. It's not that I don't understand that they are pretty much absolutely opposed to my views on just about everything, but I still get so peeved to get these long involved letters that pretty much tell me that I am an idiot. I may be over-sensitive here, but I wish they would just skip the overly text-heavy reply and just say that they received my message, some intern made a note somewhere of the general gist, and they are going to do what they want anyway. Better that than this ridiculous response in which they pretend to relate to me when it couldn't be more obvious that it's a canned platform response. They even say that it's because of citizens like me that they will keep blocking the very legislation I wrote in to support (or vice versa). Do they have no concept of a constituent writing in to disagree?
Also, I don't appreciate the informal greeting, nor the generic "Friend". I'm not a friend of my congresspeople, I am one of their many constituents. Call me "Constituent" if you can't automate a Title and Surname off the e-mail form. Let's be real about our relationship.
One good thing I can say is that so far I haven't gotten any letters. My old rep (Democrat, not that it seems to matter) used to send those canned, patronizing responses on expensive letterhead (sometimes two pages worth!) even after I asked the folks on the phone not to send me a response.
At least the interns who answer my phone calls have so far been unfailingly polite.
Maybe I should go have a drink and relax. I am obviously overthinking today.
Can I just say, too, while I'm ranting, SNOW?! In December? In Houston? Seriously, what is that? Oh, climate change, how we love you. The birds are going to be so flipping confused. Not to mention the trees. They all still have leaves! Anyway...
Lunchtime is over. Got stuff to do today and then I'm driving to Austin in the morning. Cons... there are some events when having a smartphone with web access would be quite useful.
I'm going to add in a small squee, because I can: Merlin Series 3 got the green light from the BBC! w00t! Why must my only currently airing fandom be something none of my RL friends likes or has heard of? I need some folks to squee with... oh, well.
Also, here, in pretty font this time:

glockgal has started a meme for fanartists to share the love. my fanart meme entry
It's really cold here, which is weird. And I've discovered that I'm kind of unprepared, so I'd best go pick up some things before the end of the month when I go to Philadelphia.
By the way, northeast folks - I'm going to be in Philadelphia for the end of the year. I'll probably have a day or an afternoon to meet with locals if you're in the area. Give me a call or drop me a line.
Good lord, I have less than a month before I leave. Eek eek eek.
Art is proceeding well, but as usual my list of projects keeps growing ahead of my ability to finish anything.
Writing not proceeding so well, but slow is ok as long as it gets done.
Austin this weekend for SMOFCon, then next weekend is the election and then the next weekend is meeting and parties and when exactly was I hoping to get anything done again? Hmm.
Still making my way through Doctor Who, although I took some time to listen to the three episode commentaries on the Volume 1 DVD of Merlin Series 2. Interesting. I wish those DVDs could include deleted scenes, even (perhaps especially) ones played out against CGI stand-ins or greenscreen. It would be so interesting. Plus we might see some of the characters that appear to have gotten pretty short shrift in the show as aired. (Hi, Morgana!)
Right, gotta make art now.

Author's Notes: Draco watches Harry work.
Draco watched Harry through the window as he tugged on a pair of gloves then picked up the large flat shovel. Tossing his scarf around his throat, Harry set to it, scooping up a large mound of snow from the walk and dumping it off to the side.
Idly, Draco watched Harry work for a few feet then smirked as Harry stopped to adjust his scarf and hat. Opening the door, he flicked his wand at the path; it cleared instantly and Draco called out to Harry.
"Get in here; I'm cold!"
Harry turned and gave him a two-fingered salute.

Neville ventured into the kitchen and grinned as he found Bill peeking into what appeared to be a cauldron.
"What's that and what are you doing?"
Bill jumped, dropping the spoon and lid he was holding before turning around. "Nothing!"
"If it's nothing, why do you look so guilty?"
Bill sighed and dipped his spoon back into the pot, offering the bite to Neville. "Here, taste Severus's Christmas pudding. It's excellent, just don't breathe in while you swallow; it's been soaking in Firewhisky since last summer."
Neville laughed out loud.
"Shhh… Mum hates that his pudding is better than hers."

So that has been my happy this week. How is it only Tuesday? I'm guessing this week may not be good for head space.

Author's Notes: Draco hates mornings. *g*
"Draco. Wake up and come look outside! The snow is gorgeous!"
Draco rolled over in bed, groaning and pulling the blankets up over his head. "Shh, don't say things like that. Someone might mistake it for Christmas or something."
Harry frowned as he stood at the window, and he turned toward to the bed. "Get up! It's a beautiful morning, despite the cold."
Draco gave a mock-snore in answer.
Harry eased up the window, scooping up the fresh snow and packed it into a ball. Taking aim, he threw it at lump that was Draco's blanketed head.
"Ow!"
"Happy Christmas!"

Title: The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: Snarry
Rating:R
Severus stared around the room. Red decorated nearly every surface from the poinsettia wrapped candles to the shiny balls and bows festooned on each bough of the little tree standing in the corner.
"Is it that time of year already?" Severus huffed.
Harry hummed as he walked past, toeing up to plant a kiss on Severus's cheek.
Severus rolled his eyes and turned to face Harry. It was then that he noticed Harry only wore a small Father Christmas hat, and he was standing under the mistletoe.
Leering, Severus followed Harry, softly singing, "It's the most wonderful time of year!"
