♥ Just wanted to catch everyone up...my DIL, Melisa, was discharged from rehab yesterday and is home! Of course, she came home to freezing temps and pipes! But, she is happy to be home with the kids and they are so glad to have mom back.

♥ Today, my mother turns 88...so hard to believe, I know. I'm thankful that I have her with me as many of my friends have lost their mothers in the past couple of years.

♥ Speaking of birthdays...Happy Birthday to shyshutterbug! Have a fabulous one!

♥ I turned in an application for appointment to an international committee in my professional organization yesterday. I have no idea if I will be selected but I would love to have this opportunity to serve. Appointments will be announced this spring and begin in July.

♥ I want to go to Boston to my international meeting in July...I just have to figure out how to afford it!

♥ Baby, it's cold outside! Yes, it is. Plus, we are supposed to see snow tomorrow...well, I'm not going to hold my breath on the snow business but these freezing temps can just go away...I like the cold but that means 30s at night and 40s in the day...not the teens, tyvm! I want the weather complaint department...let me talk to the supervisor, please!

♥ However, I believe I'm having a resurgence of the menopause stuffs...the hot flash kind. The past few days, with these chilling temps, I've had to crack my window so that I could sleep at night...WTF????? I know...I have the heat vent closed in my room, my ceiling fan going, and still have to crack the window! I can't sleep at all if I'm hot and I've been waking up sweating...thus, the menopause possibility.

♥ Through recommendation of the lovely Tee, I've been reading Rachel Caine's Morganville Vampire series...passing on the recommendation...yes, I am!

Okay...I'm done now...back to your regularly scheduled activities...

YOU GUYS. Trust me when I say you want to go to minimerlin. If you're hesitating because you don't know anyone or you're slightly weirded out by the idea of meeting random strangers from the internet face to face, let me tell you a little story.

Last year, I didn't know a single person before I went. In fact, the only person who was even on my flist was bewarethesmirk, and I went back and forth debating whether or not to go right up until the last minute. In the end, she was the one who convinced me to go by promising to be my friend in case no one else talked to me. I was worried that I would feel way too awkward and uncomfortable with people I didn't know. Anyone who was at last year's con can attest to how ironic this is. And if you weren't there and don't understand the irony, well, YOU JUST HAVE TO COME THIS YEAR TO SEE WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT :D

It was ridiculously fun last year, and I say this as someone who knew NO ONE going into it. This year I do know a good number of people who will be there but that just means I can tell you how very awesome they are. FOR REAL. So, go over and join minimerlin to keep up with the announcements (it's a very low traffic comm, I promise.) Right now we need to get a better idea of who is really planning to attend, so fill out this poll.

To help convince you, here is a brief and non-exhaustive list of why I had fun at Minimerlin:

1. puckling reading my porn out loud, which made me turn bright red as there was NO POSSIBLE WAY I wrote anything that filthy.
2. ink_n_imp's Gaius eyebrow impersonation.
3. Activity booklets handmade by ras_elased which included ARTHUR AND MERLIN PAPER DOLLS as well as an ORIGAMI SLASH DRAGON. Seriously you guys, Ras is like the Martha Stewart of fandom.
4. Watching The Gates of Avalon and hearing the noise made by 25 fangirls when Merlin pulled Arthur out from under the lake. THE SOUND CANNOT BE TEXTUALLY RENDERED.
5. Eating cold pizza at 3am in bed with leupagus, rageprufrock and merelyn. Okay, maybe the pizza at that hour on top of a rather large amount of vodka was a bad idea but THE REST OF IT WAS AWESOME.

SO REALLY. YOU WANT TO GO. I AM WRITING SPECIAL PORN JUST FOR THIS WHICH puckling WILL READ. ink_n_imp IS PRACTICING HER EYEBROW AS WE SPEAK. I WILL BE BRINGING A LUGGAGE CART FULL OF LIQUOR AGAIN AND I FULLY EXPECT SOME OF YOU TO CRAWL IN BED WITH ME AT 3AM FOR COLD PIZZA AND SNUGGLING.

...this time for hp_holidaygen. There really has been some wonderful stuff posted there over the past few weeks; here are my favourite stories of the bunch:

Threads Unravel (Marauders, Lily), PG-13, 5672 words. Author's summary: Fear, betrayal, paranoia, mistrust, distrust… these are the things that war breeds. A small glimpse into the lives of James, Sirius, Peter and Remus as they struggle to survive the First War with their friendships (and sanities) intact.

This is an extremely impressive take on the unravelling of the Marauders. We all know what happened, but it's how they got there that I find interesting: how did Peter become a traitor, while also being trusted enough to be secret keeper? How did James and Sirius come to trust so little in Remus? This story offers potent answers to these questions.

The Definition of Courage (Neville, Albus, James Jr, Harry), G, 1470 words. Author's summary: Neville sees the boy he used to be in a first-year student.

A little light relief after the previous story. The author has drawn a lovely parallel between Neville and Albus, and I have quite a crush on this Professor Neville. :P

A Visit to Hogsmeade (Hannah, Susan, other Hufflepuffs), PG, 7800 words.

Great to see the Hufflepuffs getting some action here. This story starts slowly, but soon builds the tension into an engrossing denouement.

Won't Realise I'm Gone (Narcissa, Bellatrix), PG-13, 3000 words. Author's summary: very month, Narcissa visits her sister in jail. She's the only one who sees how much Bellatrix has changed.

This story made me see the families of Death Eaters, and even the Death Eaters themselves, in a new light. Powerful and chilling.

Fortuna (Sirius, some Marauders, Regulus), PG-13, 1190 words.

Another, rather elegiac piece on the demise of the Marauders as a group, and just as beautifully, tightly written as the first.

A Fighting Choice (Ginny, the Weasleys, Lupin, Tonks), G, 1761 words. Author's summary: Ginny's fourth year found her ready to fight. Was it a situation, or was it a decision?

This was my gift, and I was delighted that the author picked up my prompt about Ginny. I've always felt her character development in canon was rather tenuous, but the author of this story fills the gap neatly. Well worth a read!

If I Wrote You (Dumbledore, Grindelwald, Tom Riddle, Snape), G, 4200 words.

An interesting study of Albus Dumbledore's relationship with three of the "lost boys" of canon.

Duty (Regulus, Walburga), PG, 1031 words.

A moving encounter between Regulus and his mother, full of foreshadowing for both characters.

Amor Vitae, (Flitwick, McGonagall, Snape, Moody, Lupin), PG-13, 5300 words. Author's summary: Some people wonder why Filius Flitwick is always so cheerful at Christmas.

I'm very late in reccing this - it got hot rec at the Daily Snitch about a month ago, and it fully deserves all the attention. A beautiful, heartbreaking story.


Finally, anyone like to take a guess at the story I wrote? I will neither prove nor disprove guesses until the reveals, but there's a drabble in it for anyone who guesses correctly!

GGGGGGRRRAAAARGH!!!

okay, i didn't sleep last night, like at all. which i know is often true for a heap of you, but not for me. because i sleep at night unless i'm a) i'm occupied with something else (that thing not being thinking) b) i'm really, really cold or c)i hurt enough to keep me awake. i chose a) since c) was v. v. true. so i slept this am and still feel pretty crap. anyway, that's my excuse for the lateness and any rambling in this chapter [*headdesk*]

Title: What A Chance (1/?)
Rating: G at the moment. It may change when Arthur shows up.
Warnings/Spoilers: Only for Bedknobs and Broomsticks.
Word Count: 2,399
Summary: AU for Bedknobs and Broomsticks. Merlin is a recluse wizard-in-training in rural England during WWII. He has been coerced into temporarily adopting three children but, worse than that, his wizarding correspondence course (Pendragon Correspondence School of Witchcraft and Wizardry) ends abruptly without any explanation.
Author's Notes: I have no idea why I began this. It just popped into my head and seemed like SUCH a good idea that it just had to happen. I promise not to write songs into the plot.

Title: Actually Idiots
Rating: PG
Warnings: None.
Word count: 1,855
Summary: The real moment of truth; Arthur finds out Merlin is magical and spends a few days deciding how to handle it. The outcome is not what he expects.

this has probably been done to death but I couldn't help it. also, hints of slash are blink-and-you'll-miss-'em, but they are there. this is set in a nebulous sort of mid-series-two time frame.

Anyone else watching the Christian/Syed storyline on Eastenders? Someone want to commiserate with me?

God, the wedding just about broke my heart. So well acted and played out.

If you're interested - here are all the various bibs and bobs. If nothing else, watch the wedding (second post down). It's multi-parted and absolutely heartwrenching.

Anyone?

Jordan Eberle ♥

Canada goes down 5-3, only five minutes left. Eberle scores two goals to tie it up, after his heroics last year. Canada forces OT, the Americans are reeling. I don't know how I'm going to make it through 'til the next goal.

There is nothing as exciting as this game. How can you be not watching?

*takes deep breaths*

Come on boys, bring it home.

ETA:
What a heartbreaker. Well played, Team USA, well played. Jordan Eberle, the only way I could love you more is you were going to be a Flame ♥

As a friend said tonight, silver is a beautiful colour, too. And hey, I shaved four minutes off my 5K time from Sunday due to the post-game angst I had working tonight, so that's a plus, right?

Until next year. We'll take it back on your turf, USA, in Buffalo.
