The State of the TMP

[themostepotente]

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 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 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 hd_fan_fair!

101010. diacon_alley and 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.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

You know what the worst part was? I couldn't even enjoy skivving off work :P

[tekalynn.livejournal.com]

Awww, that does suck! I'm sorry.

[ptyx.livejournal.com]

I hope it isn't anything serious. Are you feeling better now? *hugs*

[tekalynn.livejournal.com]

*hug* Yes, thanks. Mint tea and lots of sleep makes all the difference.

[kellychambliss.livejournal.com]

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. . .

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

I would love to drive up with someone. I don't suppose you live anywhere near Detroit?

[kellychambliss.livejournal.com]

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

[annephoenix.livejournal.com]

DiaCon
fer sure :)

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

DiaCon looks just too awesome for words. I had so much fun at Sectus. I still carry a five pound note in my wallet from that trip. *g*

[ptyx.livejournal.com]

OMG, the swine flu! Not good at all. I'm glad that you're feeling better.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Thank you, sweetie ♥

[ragdoll.livejournal.com]

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? :)

[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*

[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 r_grayjoy where I can pick her up somewhere in order to get her in my car. :) If twilightsorcery goes, it'll be easier since that's on my way.

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Oh you poor dear! Get well! I would send soup if we lived closer!

[alovelycupoftea.livejournal.com]

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!

[enchanted-jae.livejournal.com]

Glad to hear you're feeling better.

[meredyth-13.livejournal.com]

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.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

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/*

[kagyakusha.livejournal.com]

I had swine flu back in October and it was DREADFUL. :( I'm sorry you had to suffer that without someone to dote on you!!

[libby-drew.livejournal.com]

Poor baby! I'm glad you're on the mend. Take it easy until you get your strength back. ♥

[http://users.livejournal.com/_hannelore/]

yikes, glad you're feeling better! *hugs*

[bethbethbeth.livejournal.com]

Poor dear! *pets you...from a safe distance*

Aeternitas for me! (and femme, noeon, titti, midnitemaraud_r, acid, sinick, lauriegilbert, etc, etc, etc...) Come!

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Aeternitas! I'll be there. :-)

It's great to know there are still H/D things going on in the world. It's my all-time favorite OTP!

[stupid-drawings.livejournal.com]

I'm going to both cons, but I am crazy like that.

[nuclearsugars.livejournal.com]

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. :(

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking pretty seriously about Aeternitas!

[arcanetrivia]

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.

[cordeliadelayne]

*pets you* I'm glad you're feeling better!

[shiv5468.livejournal.com]

Oh how horrible. It's no use being poorly if there isn't someone to soothe your fevered brow and fetch and carry for you.

[curia-regis.livejournal.com]

*pets you* Sorry that you were sick!

[scarletscarlet.livejournal.com]

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!

[ariadneelda.livejournal.com]

Oh, you poor thing! *hugs* I'm glad you're now feeling better!

I'm seriously thinking about DiaCon Alley. So it's very possible. :)

[amanuensis1.livejournal.com]

Blerg! And yeah, it's even worse when there's no one there to bring you hot soup in bed.

[chantefable.livejournal.com]

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 2^nd until August 7^th

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.)

[chantefable.livejournal.com]

I am shamelessly tempting you to write. Sorry. Travel Fair & Holidays are so far off, and I miss your writing. ;) *hugs*

[mordyn4]

LOL, drool stain.

XD

I'm getting really impatient for the travel fair fics!!!! :D

[mijeli.livejournal.com]

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

[snegurochka_lee]

Ack! Glad you're feeling better. :)

[dirty-darella.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry you were sick!

HD_holidays is going to be brilliant this year. :)

[saladbats.livejournal.com]

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