| Obligatory Thanksgiving Post |

For the moment, I think my mom's email to me says it all:
Happy Turkey Day! Though since I'm having pork roast and you might have ham, I could say Happy Pork Day. But that just sounds vaguely dirty.....lol. |

| Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! |

I wonder how many National Blog Posting Month entries today will be quickie "Happy Thanksgiving" notes, or will make Thanksgiving the topic or will just have Thanksgiving in it?
Because hey, no one loves to reduce a holiday down to math more than me.
Have a good one, loves. May Morimoto himself guide your hands if you're cooking. *gobble gobble*

You are, without a doubt, one of the best and smartest writers in this fandom. You can make my heart ache for characters and pairings I would normally not give a damn about, and write kinks that don't generally interest me in ways that leave me begging for more. Your smut is hot enough to burn my whole bloody apartment building down, but it's never a mere PWP. Your stories, no matter how short or porny, always say something -- about a character, a pairings, a situation, a possibility -- and the message is always interesting.
I don't want to just gush about your writing, though, because you're so much more than a collection of fics. I think what's most remarkable about you is that you're a genuinely nice person who loves fandom for all the right reasons. I've seen that you enjoy meeting other talented people around here, getting to know them, and interacting with them. Your enthusiasm for reading/viewing, reccing, and participating in fandom in general is wonderful to see. I love your posts full o' squee. Oh, you can get your snark on with the best of 'em at times. ::grin:: But you're also one of the most supportive, generous, and approachable people I've met. Don't ever leave, eh? It's people like you that make HP fandom the awesome place that it is.
Happy Birthday, Lee!!!

You're another one of those people who's just been around forever, and without whom this place would feel oddly empty. After all this time, you still have so much enthusiasm, and do such a tremendous amount for the fandom and your ship. It's likely that you often don't receive the appreciation that you deserve, but I want to thank you for all your hard work. Thank you, also, for reading and commenting on my fic, and for being supportive in general. And while I'm at it, thank you again for the completely rockin' Snack fic you wrote for me last year at this time (yeah, I remember)! LOL You're a super mod and organizer, a fantastic writer, and on top of all of that, you seem to be an incredibly interesting and nice person. I'd like to know you better, and I really should make an effort to comment on your journal posts more frequently.

This will be hard, but I thought I'd talk about a song I've been pondering a while:
( Meet Me on the Equinox lyrics and video link )
Ok, I can see Severus starting the song and Remus finishing it, but I don't necessarily like the "Everything ends" chorus. It's certainly a good canon song for them, and I can see around "everything ends" by it meaning something more elusive in the future or as Severus' doubts. But what do you all think? Add it to my mental Snape/Lupin soundtrack or not?
And we'll just forget what really inspired this song, natch. ~_^

I have on "Glove You So Much" OPI nail polish. It's a lovely, wine colour with more brown than purple in the red, and it shimmers just a bit. Only I put it on too thick and have bubbles, which mar the effect.
Is there any way to put on more than one coat of nail polish without bubbling? Man!

So apparently my mother's side of the family - the only family I've been in contact with these past two years - is falling apart as we speak. I don't mind so much because of Things I will summarise behind the cut, but my mother minds very much, which is why I'm very very angry about this.
( tl;dr about Jules' family which you might or might not want to know - touches some sensitive stuff )
I'm thinking it's getting clear why I'm not so hot on the family stuff.
Now this feels a bit better. A tiny, tiny bit. |

It's about that time, right? If you want a holiday card from me, comment with your mailing address (comments screened). I still have the mailing info of those who've given it to me in the past, but if your address has changed, make sure I have your new one! I sent out 40 cards last year; let's see if I can make it 50 this year. :D |

The dog catcher (long story involving an adorably dopey stray) entered the front door, walked along the short hallway leading straight to the back door and outside. He got the dog roped (easily) and then said, "So you're an artist, are ya?"
After boggling slightly, I said eruditely, "Whah?"
I couldn't understand how he'd picked that up -- I wasn't even wearing black clothes!* So I thought about what he'd seen in the hallway; a tall display shelf full of ceramics; a huge unframed canvas hanging on the wall and - if he'd peeked through the archway leading to the house proper - a framed print and a charcoal portrait hanging up in the rest of the hallway. Right. Okay. No photos to speak of. I suppose that's a bit peculiar; I do have photos around, but he didn't see them as they were out of his line of sight.
So I said, "What gave it away?" Apparently it was the huge canvas. He wanted to know if I did pottery too, but that's my mum's work. :-)
Observant guy, and very cute too. ;-)
(*This is a well known indicator to anyone who has been through art school or knows professional artists, lol!) |

We're watching my sister's dogs while the lucky biatch is in Italy.
They're Schnauzers, but one is 14 and on her last legs. She takes a ton of medicine, is all skin and bones, has to be walked on peril of accidents in the house and coughs like an old man. But she's kind of the family dog, because she started with my sister and father, then was just with my father, then went to my mother after he died, and is now back with my sister because she was too much for mom.
It's a little heartbreaking, and a lot smelly. ^_^ But it's nice to have this time with her before she goes.

Ha. I remember you from a lot farther back than you probably realize. I was already reading your LJ before I ever shambled my way into HP fandom, and honestly, your fic is probably at least partially responsible for my being here. So damn you thank you for that!
You're a wonderful musician and artist, a positively brilliant writer, and you're 100% a performer in everything that you do. You have a large and captivating presence that draws people into your orbit. I love seeing your posts, whether they're fic or a rant or a story about your cats or just what you did that day. You have a way with words that makes it all fascinating. I envy that, as well as your willingness to put so many of your thoughts, opinions, and beliefs out there without reservation. One day I'd love to have the opportunity to sit down and chat with you over coffee, 'cause I think it would be a highly interesting and entertaining experience.

I had a blast meeting you for the first time and hanging out with you at Sectus -- and my god, was that really more than two years ago?? You're a hilarious and spirited person to be around. Your brain is a seriously crack-addled place, and I'd love to be able to see inside it, but I expect I might go insane from the experience. Rather like what happens when one looks upon Cthulu.
As one would expect, you create some of the most cracktastic art in the fandom. But you also do some seriously delicious pr0n, and some very poignant pieces as well. Your diversity is wonderful. Your art is incredibly complex and gorgeous, and your style so distinctive. Your work is uniquely your own; please keep doing what you're doing!
You already saw this, but for everyone else's benefit:
Jin was a fanartist expert,
Who drew crack and porn most overt.
"I'd come out of the gutter,"
She said, "but I'd rather
You all joined me down here in the dirt!"
