Ramblings from the 'goblinn

( NOTE: no actual spoilers in here, just random comments, recs, and a meme. But cut anyway, to spare the flist. )

Until next week, that is all.

YOU'RE ON MY FRIENDS LIST, I WANNA KNOW YOU...
I want to know 33 things about you. I don't care if we never talk, or if we already know everything about each other. Short and sweet is fine...You're on my list, so I wanna know you better! =)( meme )

penwiper26 gave me my choice of dark green letters: F, G or P, and I chose this one.

10 things I like about the letter G:

1. Green. Dark, rich, the color and scent of growing things and shadowed light through canopies of leaves. It's always been my favorite color.

2. Giles. Duh.

3. Google Documents. The absolutely coolest way to share writing drafts with betas. Color comments! Conversations! (Several people agreeing that a particular sentence does not work the way I think it does.....)

4. Ginger. The color and the spice. Gingersnaps, gingerbread, ginger tea. All Good Things.

5. Great Big Sea-- a group I've recently been introduced to. Several of the sample tracks have made it on to my "Cheer Up" playlist.

6. Grand Piano-- hearing the resonances and overtones from the strings, the echoes, retunes my soul sometimes.

7. Ghosts. Real and imagined. Read an old post about ghost stories here. Kind of appropriate given my recent tenyearsofbuffy ficathon entry.

8. Great and Generous writers on my flist. (Sincerely meant, but yes, I am starting to draw a blank here......)

9. Grace. And gratitude.

10. Goblins. Not the evil Tolkien ones, but the otherworldly faerie folk. Though Rosetti's "Goblin Market" is one of my favorite poems. But my favorite goblin is Puck. Well, second favorite. I do have a Wee Hobgoblinn with pointed ears, mischievous smile and an apalling tendency not to make it to school on time this week. That will be changing tonight.....

A good day to all,

Hob

Of course, the below is not getting my tenyearsofbuffy story written. First half is off to final beta, but second half is-- a sodding mess. Procrastination, thy name is hobgoblinn.

I had better reset my journal so a long work of fiction is readable. I love the "a novel conundrum" style, but I need a break between paragraphs that style doesn't provide. So-- off to fix that next. And Then-- time to get back to mulling over the great ideas offered me by antennapedia and clavally and rahirah. And also from rainkatt, a member of a writer's group I recently joined.

Huh, a green brain. Well, it's refreshing to have someone tell me I'm "balanced." Very refreshing indeed.... And as for problem solver-- someone remind me to tell you the story of how I got around the problem of having to sign a very insane and unethical non compete/ non disclosure agreement at work this week. The thing about legal documents is, they all look so much Alike.... Word Document, meet Hobgoblinn. Hobgoblinn.... heh heh heh....

Your Brain is Green

Of all the brain types, yours has the most balance. You are able to see all sides to most problems and are a good problem solver. You need time to work out your thoughts, but you don't get stuck in bad thinking patterns. You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about the future, philosophy, and relationships (both personal and intellectual).

Huh. Wasn't expecting to do that well. Especially as I spend most of my time these days behind the scenes as a musician, up in a loft where you can't hear a Thing (but sadly, the incense continues to clog one's lungs....)

Here's another cool icon-- Headrush pointed me to them, but I forget the creator's name. Bad me. I did comment and thank her though. Very funny "Good Omens" icons.....
