Comment to this post, and I will list five things I associate with you, They might make sense or they might be totally random. Then post that list, with your commentary, to your LJ (or just add a reply back to me). Other people (including me) can get lists from you, and the meme merrily perpetuates itself.

From December to December
Just want to say, briefly, that this has been a beautiful birthday. Tomorrow my parents will come into town to watch Hedda Gabler and take me out to dinner, and the day after that, Frankie will be over for the same treatment. Yesterday, I got two new fantasy books. Today, I got dozens of notes on facebook wishing me a happy birthday, it was ( Read more... ) -
"Weasley is Our King"
Ignore what this entry was previously about. I'm rather discombobulated with papers and stuff and how did it get so dark so fast?

Well, Livejournal, I haven't talked much lately. I've been pretty stressed out, and all of my weekends have something busy and confusing going on. But it's been a very interesting ten days all the same!
I attended a concert of The Fellowship of the Ring, which has since sent me into a massive kick for the upcoming Hobbit movie, as well as filling me ( Read more... )
