If anyone sees this and uses the ideas, I'd be interested to know ( Read more... ) -

No actual content...
... but thank you so much to... okay, I've forgotten how to tag, but to Esinde and Mentha for the v-gifts. ^,^ Also to T (who is highly unlikely to read this) for his email. T & M are visiting T's grandmother in Israel. It has been been impressed on me that as she's eighty this year, her birthday has seniority and oomph and he'll be disowned ( Read more... ) -
Album of the Sang Real (Snape gen)
Notes: Uh... ok, notes just in case anyone does happen to read this, which isn't expected given that I don't have the faintest idea how long it's been since I did any journaling outside of games... this fic happened after I watched Antwone Fisher for class. Not that it has anything to do with the film. Which I watched under protest--not because I ( Read more... ) -
Giftart: SH: A trifling domestic affair

Reflection and Reconstruction: Beyond Narrative in the Negotiation of Therapeutic MeaningIs the individual thus reduced to a social con artist, adopting whatever posture of identity gains the highest pay-off?

Three Substitutes for Commenting While Flailing
Freakouts fall fast on each other's heels, but at least the current one only involves other people's abrasive behavior instead of existential angst that isn't even properly mine--because of a book. 9.9 And I still need a place to live... for next month. (Insert heartfelt expletive)
