Mood: Really excited
Music: Children of the Revolution from the Moulin Rouge compilation CD I just made
I am having one of the best days I've had in a really long time. I'd like to share the joy.
This morning did not start off well, I had to be at school at 0650, which is hellish, to take a Calculus test I did very poorly on. Then I went to the Writer's Tea (some stupid girl who was invited responded to this, "I don't like tea", when everyone knows these teas do not actually involve tea...however, upon hearing this, Ms. Gross was so amused she went out to get tea, so we could have some) where I won another little book (I love these, they are the eternal prize of the English department) and chocolate, which is always a good thing.
Then I went over to City Hall to interview the three finalists for Chief of Police. Again, swishy accomadations and good fun all around. All three candidates were really, really well qualified, nice and had different views and I'm glad I'm not the City Manager who has to make the decision. The interview process took about 4 hours, so I got home around noon--early Spring Break release for me.
Once home, I sank into my favorite chair (yes, that's right the one in front of the computer) and after going through my e-mail (which made me realize I had to get off some lists, so I cancelled two and put myself on special notice only on a bunch more) I decided I would read Barb's latest chapter. And Ali, this is like the eleventy thousandth chapter of this story, so don't even bother, you won't get it.
Before I go on to the other cool things about today, let me blog a little about something else on my mind lately.
Slash
Quickly, if you don't know what it is, don't bother reading this part....I've got to come up with a way for people to click on the topic of my rant to read it so you don't have to go through this stuff if you don't want to.
I got involved in fanfic probably two years ago, and joined my first fanfic group a year and a half ago. I don't know when I first discovered slash, but I think it was SW, and Q/O which, IMO, is so stupid and OOC, I don't see why people bother writing it. Oh well, whatever floats your ship (okay, bad pun). So I really avoided slash because all my ships were het, and I didn't really like any slash. Then about a year ago I started reading HP fanfic, on FF.N (this was before the Mass Exodus). POU was definitely the first thing I read, followed by Cassie's Draco trilogy, which remains my favorite piece of fanfic ever written. So I joined the POU list, and at some point, again I'm not sure when, people kept mentioning the C&R list.
In the meantime, I had force-fed Lindsay DD, and hooked her.
So eventually I joined C&R and read Rhysenn's IP and WF (btw, I think WF is *completely* out there). At some point I also read TWAV, Snitch!, and LUW, and some more. okay, right here I got cut off a week ago, so I'm just leaving it...
