come on come on, move a little closer

Wah-hey, my ficlet just posted to weasleyworship after only three hours of trying. Sometimes, LJ, I think you're trying to give me a heart attack.

I have to say it's probably the most... interesting... fic I've ever written. I'm kinda proud of it in a sick sort of way.

Had a crazy busy weekend, and am looking forward to one more week of no classes to relax, especially with all those lovely Percy-fics at my fingertips.

I checked some facts in OotP for the ficlet, and I realized why I haven't read it, haven't really picked it up, since June. It hurts, yo. I know a lot of people didn't like Harry's characterization in OotP, and I did think the CapsLock was overused, but to me he acted like an 15 year old boy, esp. one who's hurting and confused.

I want to pet and comfort him, and it upsets me that I can't, and I can't comfort myself yet (hopes for happier days in books 6 and 7.)

On the other hand, only three-ish weeks until PoA, and I'll get to see it with Rachel, Bek, and Beth! We're gonna have a house party and it's gonna be crazy. I can't wait.

I picked up the Shrek 2 soundtrack on sale at Target today, and it's a pretty good summer cd. Hearing Frou Frou cover Holding Out for a Hero is worth the price of the cd anyway. Tomorrow, I'm going to get the Peter Pan soundtrack.

Also, I liked Troy; it was Teh Pretty (Sean Bean's voice, Brad Pitt's musculature, Eric Bana's silly expressions...). And I've been reading Edith Hamilton since I could toddle, so don't bother giving me That Look. Pfft, I say. =)

ETA: It finally occurred to me that I probably had a Percy story written for me sitting out there somewhere. So I looked, and I did, and it's fabulous. cave_canem wrote me lovely wartime Percy/Harry. It has a great gradual feeling to it; the story builds really well and you uncover detail as you go. Squee!

Woo

Finally bought a blender.

Celebrated with a pitcher of strawberry margaritas.

Mmmm.

Also, started Lirael, which looks to be as good as Sabriel.
