i'm back online

Okay, folks, I'm back online after a visit from the parental units. Planned future posts:

- much European Cup ranting and blathering along the lines of 'Portugal!!!!', 'Otto Rehagel!!!' (spelling?), 'I need to be at the next World Cup, I just need to do this thing live.'

- excerpts from printed sex

- further musings upon genre fic vs literary fic, bolstered by detailed analysis of some slash (to exemplify genre fic) and some gen origfic (to exemplify 'literary' fic)
To this end: azewewish and badgermonkey, could I use one of your fics for abovementioned demonstrations??? Please?

- much ogling at alan_hansen
Mother (in German): 'Who's that commentator? He's very good-looking. Is he from Ireland?'
Father (in German): 'He looks like an American film star.'
Me (not necessarily in German): *bursts out laughing* Oh, and he's always with that other one on the right there.
T'h (in English): 'Alan is starting to look more and more like a transvestite.'

- nuggets from the books on creativewriting I borrowed from t' library (not t'reference library, t'other library)

And here's an injunction to you, my_readers: don't let me rant too much. Make me go away and write HP fic. Tig me thus: Why are you posting and not writing HP fic?

And yes, what's with the indiscriminate use of lj person icons? Hahah!
