happy birthday, Gloria!

Have a delightful next year, dear viva_gloria!

These wishes are a day late but none the less hearty for that. :-) I hope you had a lovely day and that the year to come will bring you goodnesses of all kinds, suspected and unsuspected. :-)

gorged with fic

Thank you so much, everyone who responded to my plea for fic recs. I netted some real goodies. Over the past three days, I have been gorging myself on fic and am now woefully behind in my feedback! I still haven't tackled the long, long ones yet but just wanted to say a collective 'thank you'! I will do a little passing-on-the-reccage post of my own in the next few days... if I get round to it! And if LJ lets me, grr.

At the moment I am reading a fic by Julad which stems from a mysterious fandom that I cannot locate. It has a Brian Kenney in it, and a Justin (but it doesn't seem to be the Nsync-Justin), and something to do with advertising. Reading fanfic as orig has a special something about it!

friends meme solutions!

Further to my Friends Meme, I herewith append the solution so that everyone can confirm or deny their own guesses. *g*

Who's who:

nr. 1 = orlisbunny
nr. 2 = msilverstar
nr. 3 = viva_gloria
nr. 4 = thamiris

nr. 10 = eyebrowofdoom
nr. 11 = mistful
nr. 12 = cimorene111
nr. 13 = lazlet
nr. 14 = sheldrake
nr. 15 = selyons
nr. 16 = pecos

And I feel bad because I forgot:

nr. 36 = Who writes the cutest Dom and whose online presence bubbles.

(How did I get to meet so many people? There are people on my Friends list whom I can't even remember Friending, and then I forget others!)
