Whoohoo, awards! QtP and SS/HG
I wish I had something more RL-related to tell here as there have been interesting developments lately, but those will need to wait until I have time to write a longer post. However, I'm happy to say that I'm definitely happier than I was a few weeks ago! :)
In other awesome news, I was psyched to find myself nominated for not just one but *two* ( Read more... ) -
Self-pimpage: SS/HG Awards, Round Two
So I know that not many of you read my journal (only to be expected as I post to it very rarely). I will shamelessly then appeal to those of you that do read this to nominate me in the second round of the SS/HG awards, namely stories that were written between the publication of Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows.

Epic-length fic *finally* complete: Memento Amori
Most of you who are reading this know that I write fanfiction in my spare time... my current fandom of choice is Harry Potter. I wanted to give my LJ friends a heads-up that I've finally finished my saga that has been over a year in the making.

FIC: Serpensortia - One-shot, DH-spoilers
I promised myself I wouldn't write anything new for at least a month because life has gotten seriously crazy lately. But I saw the prompts for the Potter Place Summer 2007 challenge, and one of them just sounded like too much fun to pass up.
I'm not allowed to post it here until voting is complete (but please vote for me if you like it!), so I'm ( Read more... ) -
Making a home in yuppie-ville...
... is really expensive. Seriously, $4 per bowl and $15 for a cutting board? And don't even get me started on pots and pans (or the rent). Not to mention that I'll only be using these things two out of seven days a week ( Read more... ) -
I can't believe they're paying me for this
So I know everyone says that Google is the best place to work in the world. I didn't get struck by that feeling until just a few hours ago, when I was sipping milk from a coconut and "researching" a series of air guitar YouTube videos that I suddenly thought "Whoa, wait, they're paying me to do *this ( Read more... )
