Show me you really care!

This is not so much a post, as a couple of things which are delightful.

• From The Ashes is delightful! So I was just like, "la la la, I will submit an application cos Mik said I could and I'll take an insanely long time to reply to emails and get everything together" and -- well okay it is STILL DELIGHTFUL. Hijinks! Chess! Age-reversals! This is the part where I beam all around. We need some The Like representation, though! Z at Hogwarts. Tennessee at Hogwarts. :D? :D?
  
  
• Speaking of Z, this picture
  
  
  
  Well I could call it delightful, but I can think of some other words that would fit as well. >:D
  
  
• So I was on holiday when my parents were like, "I wonder what happened to the gramophone!" and I said, "WE HAVE A GRAMOPHONE??" and they said, "Well, yes. It's in storage!" Now it has been retrieved! And there is a record store whom, when I called, had a copy of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars. Hi, David Bowie, hi. I find the way you scream on Moonage Daydream relentlessly endearing. Soon I will be able to listen to it, ON THE GRAMOPHONE
  
  
• Work is good! I have an off day tomorrow, which is also good.
  
  
• I have been toying with writing some more original fic lately. Lately I've been thinking about a girl named Zelia. Studying languages in university -- hopelessly impractical, she's afraid. On her year abroad, she's a language assistant in France maybe (definitely). The small flat she rents is a little bit (a lot) cramped, so she heaps blankets and pillows on her landlord's long dining table and sleeps there, and hopes to God she won't roll off. Her best friend has had a baby. She's a little bit in between things, a little bit lonely. In the story it's never really specified where she comes from. Likes: long beaded jewellery.

THAT IS SO AWESOME. *is massively jealous* I've been begging my parents to find/fix ours, but they are very reluctant to dig through the mess in our attic to do so!

If you were here, you could listen to it with me. *tempts* You could go wade through the attic for a bit! And come down and be all, "LOOK WHAT I FOUND!" :D? :D?

*enables*

...and, y'know, it's just cold enough outside that it won't be sweltering up there if I do go root around...

YOU ARE A TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE PERSON FOR SUGGESTING THIS. *loves you*

I KNOW, RIGHT? CLEARLY GOING TO HELL.

(Tell me if you find anything interesting! :D)

Oh, I will! I'm kind of hoping I find my brother's old vinyls (Rush, Genesis, and the like) up there as well. WHO KNOWS WHAT MYSTERIOUS ARTIFACTS LURK ABOVE MY BEDROOM.

Oh man, awesome. I am jealous of not having a Mysterious Attic above my room, goddamnit.
