I always try to answer the comments on my journal. Sometimes a few slip through the cracks, but I really love the conversations I have with people in this way, so usually even if I notice the slippage months later, I'll reply.

But several weeks ago I made a post about the Hunger Games books, and lots of people commented, and I have not replied. I'm not sure what exactly is going on with me, but I somehow drastically underestimated both the strength and the nature of my feelings about the subject, and even thinking about going back and looking at that post or reading any comments gives me massive anxiety feelings. I thought I would be fine after some space and self-analysis, but apparently not so much. So this is me apologizing for seemingly ignoring all of you who commented, and giving myself permission to walk away.

It's that time of year again--LOVE MEME time! (or as I like to call it, time to open a second browser window) You should go and play and leave some anon love for people if you're feeling so inclined, and please post a link to your own thread in your journal, because it's 28 pages already :D

p.s. In case this is news to you as it was to me not all that long ago, you don't have to log out to leave anon comments. You can just hit the "more options" button next to the post comment button, and it lets you change to anon (and all sorts of other login options)

sylvanwitch shared this video with me. I'm a few months behind in seeing it, but it's never too late to smile :D

and then deirdre_c posted this amazing thing of amazing. A graphic history of science fiction that fills me with delight. I can tell it's a tab I'll have open for days :D

and now it's time to put my nose back to the grindstone.

I'm having a lot of trouble finding my zen/glee/silver lining today, but I came home to this. and that has helped.




MY THREAD

I love fandom.

Also extremely happy-making are the v-gifts I've gotten recently. Thank you all so much; I'm sorry I've been remiss at letting you know how they brightened my days ♥

So I'm gonna tell a slightly embarrassing story on myself right now. At Adam's show in London, he asked the crowd if we knew what his show was about. Totally without my knowing I was going to do it, I screamed, "LOVE!!!" And immediately started laughing at my own outburst. I'd heard the patter six times in person and IDEK how many times on video at that point, but I don't think I was saying it because it was part of his shtick, but because that is what his shows really ARE about for me.

( in which I gush a lot about fangirls and love and fail to talk about the concert at all )

Gotta jet rn, but I will post about the show later!

You guys!!!!!!!!!! HOW ARE FANGIRLS SO INCREDIBLY AWESOME? I am so filled with flail right now I don't even know what to do with myself. All kinds of love going on over at this love meme here, with plenty room for adding more. Plus, my boy Adam Lambert was nominated for a Grammy award, and he has all kinds of adorable love being tweeted at him from his family and his friends. LOVE IS IN THE AIR, PEOPLE. LET'S KEEP SPREADING IT. (also snow is in the air. omg I WANT TO SEE MY FRIENDS, ENGLAND. NOT BE TRAPPED HERE.)

There's a whole lot of love going on, but there is room for mooooore! I am being dragged away from my computer for chores so you all must go play in my absence so I can come back and play some more!



I love you meme


doooooooo eeeeeeeeeeeeeeet

I've been extra adventurous with my fingernails on this trip, and photobucket is actually working for me right now (what horribleness has happened to it, btw. is it not working for other people or is it just me?), so you get some pictures. I'm sure you're thrilled.

for the record? wendy makes awesome cookies...

100 episodes of Supernatural, and not anything like 100 hugs. Sam and Dean could use all hundred of them now, but I think we all know Kripke better than that, so let's give fandom hugs instead!
