You've got the love!

• My pinky just went to sleep. Goddamnit.
  
  
• Oh hey, it's awake now! That was an interesting sensation; I wanted to capture it.
  
  
• Also, hey, hey, guess who's going to see Florence + the Machine when they come o'er here? That's right: ME! I listened to the album properly for the first time ever two days ago, and now I am so ridiculously stuck on her, her, herrr. Her amazing voice and amazing songs and (crush mode) red hair and jawline, gosh. ♥
  
  
• Plus The xx is opening for her. :D
  
  
• Also coming to Singapore is Au Revoir Simone, whom I know approximately nothing about. I have heard they are awesome though! Thoughts, anyone?
  
  
• I am riffing off kickingrad's resolution to catch more live shows (does theater count? Because they are putting up The Tempest sometime soon, and I should check that out), because! For the first time in my life I have the time and also money to watch more things in general, AND AND AND. Super excited!
  
  
• We had a new person coming in today at work! Dorky and nice and over-eager, I know the feeling, aw man. Reminds me of more than one person I know. Does that happen more often when you move along more? People starting to blur into types. I AM UNDECIDED ABOUT THIS.
  
  
• Things that made me smile: talking with themoononastick about when it is acceptable to use Brit spelling (obviously the answer is when you're writing AUs where a critical mass of the main characters are British), and her telling me about the AU where Z and Charlotte went to university in London. *_____________*
  
  
• I really like the dress I wore to work today, oh man. Dark blue sleeveless and edged with black cotton lace! It is a little bit too big for me (it was my sister's), but I love the skirt. Sometimes I think hey, when did clothes gain the ability to make me happy? with somewhat mild surprise because I never did bother when I was younger, but now they do. I feel my life has been greatly enriched as a result.
  
  
• They have put up Chinese New Year decorations at my estate! Usually I don't like them when they're too much, all that red and glitter and gaudiness and also irritating songs. (This sounds like my unnatural prejudice against Christmas I suspect.) But they've put up fairy lights! This I can get on, it looked slightly magical when I walked my way in.
  
  
• Today and yesterday I was struck by the urge to skip while walking home from the bus stop near my home. I DID NOT DISOBEY THAT URGE.
  
  
• That's how my life is, today. How is yours?

Ahahaha, dude, you read my mind there -- I usually like to be listening to music at the same time, so I can imagine my way into a DEEPLY DRAMATIC MOVIE SITUATION with awesome soundtrack while swishing my way down the streets, what.

Also y, I am lazy! I type in Brit spelling naturally! Technically, I don't like it when people use Britishisms in American-set fics, and vice versa, but I speak/write/whatever in a portmanteau of the two anyway so I can't really tell the difference.

YOUR LIFE IS AWESOME. Also, re: canceled lectures and seminars -- it sounds like the heavens are aligning themselves just so for a rather important occasion, I WONDER WHAT THAT IS. <333

Ahaha yes, that -- I sometimes try to restrain tossing my hair for added effect, but not very often :)

Mmm, yeah, actual Britishisms are a no. I am a little scared of any/all of my fic containing the same kind of thing that made me cringe and hit backbackback when HP fic contained Americanisms. Fortunately, no one has yet called me on it :)

Re BBB -- I say, go fo for it! I mean, mainly because you don't even get the opportunity to default, if you don't sign up (eh, twisted logic, but you know!) but, well. Would it help if I argued very, very strongly for your Proof AU to come into existence? In the form of 20,000 words or more? Just, you know, to help you make the decision!! *g*

I do the whole swinging hips thing, it is mildly to middlingly embarrassing. *does it again*

YOU ARE VERY TEMPTING. I do not know if I could hit 20,000! ... but I will probably sign up tomorrow, you enabling enabler.
