A hobgoblinn! A hobgoblinn! My kingdom for a hobgoblinn!
Which work of Shakespeare was the original quote from?
Well, I have been a most anti-social hobgoblinn of late. I have been doing a lot of reading and avoiding and am just now coming back to this forum to catch up, to the extent I can. I see

Still very bummed about K and her family. It is hard to watch people be in that much pain and be able to do pretty much nothing. But her guys are surviving, and all the rest of us in the extended friends and family circle will, too. Until, you know, we don't.
Going back through the overwhelming number of posts I've missed in the last two weeks, I am becoming aware I need to make a list cut here, soon. There are people I almost never read anymore, as our interests have diverged wildly. So if I cut you, please do not be offended or upset. Do protest if you have strong feelings about it-- like as not it's because you almost never comment on any of my ramblings, either. I may be doing us both a favor.
While everyone's still here though, Happy Advent to all. And thanks for all the kind words and hugs and condolences, too.
Oh-- one last thing. Before I continue on the Lost Boys sequel, which I still have some delusions of trying to get in shape to start posting by Christmas, I need to write something about K, for her young son to have as a remembrance of her when he is older. So send positive energy/ prayer that direction, if you would, because that's more overwhelming than trying to read back through over two weeks of LJ ephemera.
Oh-- one other last thing-- HP fans on my list should go read this Right Now. It's awesome. And non assholeish Dudley makes an appearance later, if the perfect Snape voice and wonderfully intricate plot and excellent writing are not enough inducement. Trust me.
ETA: It has rightly been pointed out to me that this is still a WIP. Read at your own risk. It's still really good, and it seems to be updated with some regularity. But-- just so you know. My apologies (again) to

I applaud you for being one of the last holdouts for Christmas decorating. You're quite right, of course, decorating and celebrating should not happen in Advent. Maybe one day there'll be a backlash to all the commercialism and everyone will go back to a "12 days of Christmas" type celebrating!
And thanks for the rec, I'll make a point of reading it after I finish the current fic I'm reading.
*hugs* again!

Date: 2007-12-18 09:42 pm (UTC)I’m also going to read the first three chapters of the fan fic you suggested. I also have a question for you. Last time you mentioned about subliterate writing and I wanted to know what you meant by that.

As for being prepared for Christmas, I just ordered people's presents last night...from England. For some reason, me thinks they will not arrive in time. Meh. That isn't the point of the holiday anyway.
