wtf, mate

What Ashie said. There are no zombies in Australia. Clearly I was they were thwarted by timezones, and the whole girt-by-sea aspect. All unaffected Americans on my flist are most welcome to come and stay with me, if you can get out safely (and learn to fly a plane, but whatever, Bruce Willis does it all the time, right?). Though be warned: anyone showing the least amount of shuffling-and-moaning behaviour will be shot on sight. Uh. With the guns that we don't have. SOMEONE BRING GUNS.

ETA: _leareth has the latest update regarding the refugee situation.

What we do have in Australia, or at least in Canberra, is an 8-degree day with winds sweeping down from the Snowy Mountains to pile wind chill on top of that. And beautifully heated buses/shops/exam rooms, certainly, but after I'd gone from OMG FREEZING to OMG WARM five or so times in the space of an hour, the blood vessels in my head just kind of gave up and are now staging a (very painful) protest.

Owwwwwww.

*takes Panadol*

If anyone needs me, I'll be in bed.

Abnormal psych exam went fine - I finished with 20 minutes to spare, having wandered my way dodgily through the short answer questions (half a page on triggers for specific phobia? seriously? HOW?) and then kicked some serious ass with my essay on the aetiology, features and treatment of Major Depressive Disorder.

Finally: I think I am developing a serious crush on the HCL fandom. The amount of intelligent analysis that these people put into their feedback is awesome. Nothing like a thoughtful five-paragraph reaction to make one want to write more fic for a fandom.

This makes me want to incubate that bunny liek woah. (Says the girl who can never manage more than four lines of feedback).

Ah, but quality counts! Four lines of insightful feedback beats out eight lines of exclamation marks and hearts and FANTASTIC!! WRITE MORE!!!!. (Which is delightful in its own way, but less fun to respond to.)

Incubate! I find that jotting down whatever prose-bits come to mind and then emailing them to someone helps, because that will generally spur interest/questions/exortations to keep going.

It keeps changing on me, which is very weird. So far I have the beginning, which is a series of phone calls that didn't actually happen because Billy is still asleep, and then the stuff out in the desert.

This would be so much easier if I'd a) seen the film more than once and b) seen it while sober.

I do agree on the quality front. Although personally I think I like people quoting lines back the best, because then you know *precisely* which bits were stand-out good and which need work.

Sounds interesting! My fic changed itself on me at least five times when I was writing it, but I think considering the dichotomy of inexorable narrative and random footage that makes up the movie itself...that is perfectly acceptable.

Mm, yes. I am always fond of lines being quoted back. Often it surprises me which ones are.

Hmm, I think with HCL as well there's this element of multiple truths (John's babbling about honesty kind of put me onto that), or multiple layers of truth. So in effect every variant of the story being told that comes up is equally valid.

Yeah, it is strange the things that people notice, but nice.

You will soon. On its way, I promise. ;)
