OMFG, may I never ever be that fucking sick ever again! Instead of having bacterial pneumonia like I was told, as my shitty luck would have it, I was cursed with the granddaddy of all flus. Fuck swine flu! I'm still not 100 percent, but I feel MUCH better than I did one week ago. I had seriously not been that sick since I had mono in my early twenties. And it sucks doubly when you have no one to dote on you :-(

Few notes of interest, counted down in binary. *g*

010. I did manage to finish my first SGA fic for [livejournal.com profile] mcshep_match, which started today btw. It was about 3,000 words longer than I envisioned, and I am mostly pleased with it. It really is nice to write for a different fandom once in a while. Must return to Merlin. *emphatic nod*

0101. Okay, the [livejournal.com profile] hd_holidays sign-ups? Made me giddy with girlish glee. I have my fingers and toes crossed for a lot of awesome writers that decided to take the plunge this year. And so many returning old-schoolers! I canNOT wait for the sheer awesomeness of this fest to begin! *grabby hands*

010101. Ditto for [livejournal.com profile] hd_fan_fair!

101010. [livejournal.com profile] diacon_alley and [livejournal.com profile] aeternitas2011. Who's going to one or both? These two cons are like the reincarnations of my two favourite fandom cons ever. I must go to at least one.

111000. I will have some fic recs later this week. I'm in the midst of reading the most incredible H/D fic.

000111. I made my cat ridiculously happy today by buying her a new scratchy thingy. There is a drool stain the size of a small grapefruit in the centre of it. *shakes catnip pouch*

0011100. I really have no idea if this binary code makes any sense :P

How's everyone doing? I've missed you all ♥

Oh yuck, that's a nasty bug! My sympathies. I'm glad you're feeling better.

I had to stay home sick today myself. Bleah.

Welcome back! Sorry you were so sick; glad you're better. I really, really want to go to Aeternitas, but the timing is terrible, school-wise. Still, I'm trying to think of ways to convince the admin that it's professional development. . .

Alas, no. I did grow up not too far from Detroit, but that was many years ago now.

I'm definitely going to DiaCon Alley and am 99% sure I can get to Aeternitas as well, esp given that it's like a 7 hr drive to NH for me and only an hour north of places I know well. See you there? :)

Date: 2010-08-03 12:15 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] themostepotente.livejournal.com
At DiaCon for sure. I'm still debating Aeternitas. I wanted to make the drive up with someone, but no one lives by me! *facepalm*

From: [identity profile] ragdoll.livejournal.com
I would offer to pick you up, but driving from NY to MI to NH would be a bit silly. I may be driving alone (which is what I generally do going to New England anyway) but hopefully I can figure out something with [livejournal.com profile] r_grayjoy where I can pick her up somewhere in order to get her in my car. :) If [livejournal.com profile] twilightsorcery goes, it'll be easier since that's on my way.

Oh my, that is seriously nasty flu! You poor thing. But I am pleased it meant lots of tea!

I am thinking DiaCon, but have no clue at all about next summer's plans!!

Also, yay for hols and fanfair!

I'm so glad you're improving, but so sorry that you've had to go through such horrible illness. Just don't try and 'rush' recovery - those flus can put stress on other parts of your body, and you should give it all plenty of time to come back up to speed.

Take care, I hope you're feeling every so much better very soon.

Glad you're feeling better. I've only once had a nasty flu bug and I remember (I'm pretty tough when sick) crying because I thought I was going to die. D: Okay, not really die, but still.

HD Hols - YES! The one fest I shall always participate in.

HD Fan Fair - YES! I'm not participating, but I'll be reading. *nods*

DiaCon Alley - I'll be there. AND I plan to hang out in Britain for at least a couple of weeks, including the con time. *\o/*

Can't make it to Aeternitas, but I'm dying on getting to DiaCon. I'm trying to switch things around because I was planning a trip to Europe in 2011 anyway, but I'm not sure how feasible it is to backpack through Amsterdam and Berlin with my robes packed, then make my way to Canterbury. :(

DiaCon Alley is not happening as I am already hoping to go to Ireland next June.

I've registered for Aeternitas and hope it works out that I can, in fact, go.

Swine flu, you poor thing! Glad you're out from under it.

I have hopes for HD Hols as well. A surprising number of Completely Awesome people have signed up as first-timers, so here's hoping they get through the lottery!

Oh, darling, take care and spoil yourself rotten, this unpleasantness is as overwhelming as it is uncalled for. Vicious flu!

I am glad your Big Other Fandom fic turned out well. Read and relax.

You might consider drabbling. ;)

running from August 2nd until August 7th

Pick a prompt, write one or more drabbles, read, enjoy, comment, rec! (http://community.livejournal.com/hd_birthdaybash/19586.html) (All genres are welcome, angst, romance, humor, crack, ANYTHING - as long you write Harry/Draco or Harry- or Draco-centric gen.)

Oh, hd_holidays! I'm so looking forward to it, as well (and, not being an oldie goldie like you, I'm uber excited for the lottery! *bites nails*)

And I'm seriously considering going to Diacon Alley. I've never been to a convention before, but since I planned to travel to London for the final movie, anyway, it's oh so tempting :)

I'm really curious for that fic treasure you're reading atm.

And I love the binary code! ;)

Here, me, doing good- has loads of drawing and writing for too many fests to do, and is being stressed out by the first waitress job in her life. Just the regular stuff! :D

I will lobby for Aeternitas because that is the one I will most likely be at.
