Mood: wiggly
Music: Rufus Wainwright "Instant Pleasure" (John's to blame for this, after hearing Hallalujua(sp?) I was hooked)
Lindsay returned from D.C. today bearing a pressie...Maxim Fashion with the ever-sexy Ewan McGregor on the cover. I never get kitschy gifts, always generic things that I just really like. Although certain people (coughalicough) think Ewan is leading me to sin, I prefer to think of my near-obsession as simply really appreciating God's creation. He did a great job on Ewan.
Other things that happened today...ooh, e-mail from Amanda. Amanda scared the shit out of me when I first met her, and we didn't get off to the best start (i.e. near death experience), but the next year she became one of the most influential people in my life thus far. Sad to say, I was somewhat obsessed with Amanda, and wrote her letters everyday for, like, three years (I don't do things by halves). While that may seem borderline crazy, I know now I just really had a lot to say, and I needed someone to listen to me. I really needed reassurance about everything. Sadly, now that I'm much more confident and self-assured, I have become a despicable correspondant. Sometimes I think maybe I should just let her go out of my life, maybe we don't have anything in common, and then I know I can never just stop writing her. As weird as it seems, I can't imagine what I would be like if I had never met her.
Okay, I got so many interviews back today I didn't respond to them all. I was really intrigued by the similarities though. Most of the people are youngest or only children, and are above-average, began writing at a young age and are voracious readers. Some other notes of interest. The two most often mentioned influences are Jane Austen and L.M. Montgomery, and every single person said the first HP fic they remember was Lori's Paradigm of Uncertainty. I thought that was wild.
