Train of Consciousness Night

in_the_blueIt's been a weird couple of days. Last night I was a zombie. Tonight I'm not... at least not yet.
:
I updated my web space today. It was overdue.
:
I decided I'm going to modify my Sirius fic to reference Medeni as a fifth-year at least a couple of times.
:
Hannah had a bad day at school today. I'm going in early tomorrow to talk to her teacher, who is a little... erm... scattered. I love this part of parenting.
:
My Halloween costume is almost complete. It's my favorite day of the year, pretty much, when I get to be someone other and no one looks at me like: Gah! Idiot! Of course, if they only knew, they could do that all year long. I'm always someone other somewhere in my brain. I'm transgendering this year... scare the kids at Hannah's school again. Heh.
:
My friend Sandy needs to LJ.
:
I love our role-play board. We need more students. I'm so glad![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
blanche_malfoy joined. I hope bear_brand does too. If he takes my class, I promise no homework.
:
Teaching Transfiguration is hard work. There's next to no reference in canon for it. It's more than wave the wand and mutter an incantation. I have to make it all up, and make it seem convincing. And the Animagic stuff is even harder than the straight Transfiguration. What have I gotten myself into. At least at my old site, someone thought my classes were good enough to borrow.
:
I don't miss that old site very much, though. I like being able to be selective about membership. Ours is a site for writers and actors more than anything. Of course, being HP-obsessed is imperative, too.
:
I once was speaking at Oregon School of Massage to a communications class--you know, I was resident expert LMT sharing experiences--and wore my Jason-for-Sirius campaign shirt. One of the students asked me about it ("It's obviously got something to do with Harry Potter," she said sagely) so I told her in all seriousness that I of course pre-screened my clients to make sure they were Harry Potter fans before I'd let them on my massage table. Oh really! Some people believe anything. I saw a lot of heads nodding as if that were really a good way to build a massage business. Heh.
:
We need more students on our board. OCs welcome. That sounds like some weird ad for Motel 6 or something.
:
I sent a letter to JKR herself. I wonder idly if I'll ever hear back. I meant to mail it before our trip to Victoria, but I didn't have an air-mail stamp. So it went to Canada and back with me.
:
Yesterday I mailed off packages tosff_corgi, sunny_daylee, myfanwy, and elseculpepper. Today I mailed a package to hellcatjelybean. I wonder who gets theirs first and last: any bets? I'm thinking California first, Philippines last. But I could be wrong. England could be last.
:
Playing multiple people is weird. I have my characters' dreams for them sometimes. That's just odd.
:
It's kind of a lonely night. Oh well. Back to work tomorrow.

3.
4. I hope JKR writes back.
5. Yay, my package is on its way! That reminds me...I need to look into transporting what I need to send you...

I refuse to speak for him. Just... don't overcommit. On HC I had too many characters. I miss some of them (especially Rosmerta, Ollivander, Arthur, and McGonagall), but my brain is much happier now with the few I still play.
3. Thank you, all of you. By the way and just out of curiosity, why does Hex care about the Yankees? He's from Brooklyn--he should be a Mets fan like all good Brooklynites. The Yankees play across the way in the Bronx.
4. Me too. But I have a bad track record with that kind of thing, so my expectations are low. May I be pleasantly surprised.
5. YEAH! I would have mailed it yesterday, but the post office didn't like the recycled box it was in (no, we can't use a priority mail box going there!) and insisted on a plain one... so I had to repackage it. But I'm glad I did, because I was inspired at the last minute to add something. You'll see when you open it. Hee.

3. Hex knocked about the NY area all his life, so he doesn't have ties to Brooklyn in particular. He just likes the Yankees, borough boundaries be darned :)
4. Good luck again with the letter.
5. Now I can't wait to get my package!
Someone really reads this!

Date: 2003-10-17 07:42 am (UTC)In fact, I'm reading this instead of getting ready for work. Eeep!
Sorry it was lonely last night, but Sleep Is Good. Fixes things, really. Headache gone. (Wonder if it had anything to do with the drat-my-jeans-are-too-small-again.)
Ooops.
