2 1/2 years... and I'm back

I blame it on a friend who read the Twilight series and wanted to keep reading. I gave her the first two books of Harry Potter and she ate them up and asked for more. She's working on Number 4 and I'm inspired from our chats to write fanfic again. I've missed it. I thought it would be good for my writing to not write so much fanfic. Since my writing has become non-existant the last year, I thought maybe this would be a good jump start. It got me started writing... why not help me out of this slow spot?

Anyway... I don't know what fandoms I still like anymore! For right now, this space will be me trying to find my HP legs again. I've bookmarked the Lexicon and several journals that I've liked in the past.

Here goes nothing!

I do need new icons. Maybe that will be my next stop.

Your Word is "Love"

You see life as possibility to form deep connections with a few people. Relationships are the center of your world, and you always take time to bond with those you love. You are caring and giving. You enjoy helping those you love. And when it comes to romantic love, you feel passionately ... even in a very long term relationship.

What's Your Word?

And on to other things...

Spent several hours at the local gas station, interacting with the glorious WiFi there. Pixie is so much fun to play on even though I need to move some more music there as I spent three hours listening to the same replay of Linkin Park (the new Apple live sessions) and Vitamin String Quartet doing their version of Paramore.

I hurried out of the house tonight because Mom and Dad were redoing the TV in the kitchen. They had to get a converter because it's the only TV that's on an antenna. We have DirecTV but aren't able to get local channels on it (which is why I can watch regular TV on either East Coast time or West Coast. Lots of fun!) so we still use the little one in there. My dad... well, he gets frustrated soooo easily and I have a tendency to set him off so I just left instead of helping. It's just better that way.

Gray hair was springing forth so I spent the morning dying my hair. It's a pretty red shade (as usual) but I did something new and mixed a bright red and a neutral brown to come up with a pretty shade of red I haven't ever had. In daylight, it's almost a Weasley red but in other light, it's more purplish. It'll get me through until I get my head shaved. March is coming up quick! Time to start getting a game plan for raising money. There's a little girl (12 years old, if you can call that young) that I know (well, I know her mother but that sort of counts) who was just diagnosed with a form of cancer that I can't spell. I'd love to be able to raise the money in her name. I don't know if she gets any of it but it's always nice to have a face to go along with mine. People shouldn't give the money because of me... they should give it because of people like Claire who should be able to grow up without the haze of cancer in her life!

Okay, soap box back under the computer desk.

Need to input more books on Good Reads tonight. Because I'm doing my part to help out the publishing industry, I'm trying to put reviews on books I like and think people should read. Then I find myself putting reviews on everything! It gets time consuming. And I'm horrible working off lists because I have a tendency to jump around and work on different parts. I'm going all the way back to 2005 (since that is when I started blogging my book lists) so there are still LOTS for me to put up!

And I've put Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell on the bedside table for the time being and am reading Prisoner of Azkaban. Randye gave it back to me the other day and I found myself drawn to it. I can take or leave the first two (there isn't enough in them for me to really sink my teeth into, fanfic-wise) but I do love 3-7! Trying to figure if I should skip to 5 (because she'll have four for awhile) or move to another book. So many to choose from!
