and I don't have any guide

[fahye]

Well, almost everything that could go wrong today did, indeed, go wrong. I'm so used to dealing with minor crises and then moving on with a shrug that I didn't even notice until my mother repeated a request in a manner that seemed slightly unreasonable, and I raised my voice as I left the room. Me, I don't raise my voice much. I am Miss Unflappable. But...reminiscent of that time in Year 12 when I totally lost my shit and threw someone's books across the room because I was having a small mental breakdown, it turns out that enough crap in one day will push me over the edge without me even noticing until, well, the edge is a few metres behind me and I am hovering in midair like one of those cartoon characters who won't be affected by gravity for a few humourous moments. And then they fall. (But luckily, they generally pick themselves up again quite cheerfully.)

I'm going to listen to this song a few more times, and then watch an episode of Dexter, and then do some soothing French grammar and drink some tea. And tomorrow my mother and I are going to the Lifeline book fair and then to the Canberra Philharmonic Society's production of The Producers, which I have been told is fantastic, and this weekend: CHOIR CAMP! Bach, Vivaldi, Handel, trivia competitions, crazy revue acts, and a whole lot of alcohol.

Hey, you know I'm here if you need anything at all. <3. Send me an email if you need to talk?

[fahye.livejournal.com]

Thank you :) It's nothing major, just a whole lot of tiny stuff piling up.

[setissma.livejournal.com]

Yes, but I care about you, and you will recall that I promised to be here for you in a ridiculous Sam Winchester sort of way, so you! Email me. :*

Jekyll and Larklight: taken care of. I bought Larklight for the little brother before I left and um read it all and it's amazing, fahye, my god, you were SO RIGHT.

*showers, duly* (Only one person has to nominate it for it to appear on the year's list, right?)

ISN'T IT? SO MUCH JOY. Sequel sooooooon hurrah.

(I actually have no idea. If this is truth, then I look forward to the Civil War generals section so freaking much.)

HOORAY.

*looks at you doubtfully* French grammar will soothe your broken nerves?

[fahye.livejournal.com]

French grammar is like honey and balm. C'est vrai! (Je suis bizarre.)

I totes added more characters to the list for Larklight (and corrected the spelling of Ssilissa's name, which is tricky as hell to remember. One L? Two Ls? Red L, Blue L!) and was deeply pleased to see someone else had already added it to the list of fandoms. YOU DONE GOOD, FANDOM.

Oh my GOODNESS I want fanfic in the Shakespeare Retold Shrew-verse. *COVETS*

I know how it feels to have little things pile up. If you need anything, let me know.
