candylandWelcome new faces from the latest friending meme on professorlayon! *hands out shiny silver cyber donuts, enough for everyone!*
I was clicking through some random entries in my memories today, and I noticed something. In the daily world, if someone gives a compliment, it's likely to be things like, "Good." "Nice work." "Well done." And things of that ilk.
In fandom, however, when someone gives a compliment, it's things like, "Epic win!" "Have an internets!" "I give you pie for this!" "I maded you a chocolate baby!" "You win at life!" And so on and so forth. And this is why I stay in fandom. It's so much more colorful and fun!
Tomorrow is my last day in Chinese. Thank GOD. I mean, it's sort of...nostalgic, I guess, since I've been working back there for vacations and things for six years now. And I don't think the new manager has yet been trained on Italian, so I wish everyone good luck. I'll just continue with the semi-nostalgic feeling.
And speaking of nostalgia, every once in a while I get a weird urge to go and listen to songs of my younger days. Remembering things, singing along with lyrics that I am sometimes ashamed to admit I still remember, enjoying the little skip down memory lane. It's pure nostalgia.
It is for that reason that I am TOTALLY NOT ASHAMED to say that I put some NSYNC and Backstreet Boys songs on my mp3 player this afternoon and curled up to listen. I am now ignoring the sound of all of you collectively judging me 8D
Public Service Announcement Tiemz: I'm going to hold off on the rest of the alphabet meme fills until the first of May, whensummerwrite2 starts, so I can has something to get me started. Ideally will fill the rest of them the first day. Please be patient, and there will be ficcage!
And now I should probably go to bed. I gots work tomorrow, and last night I did not sleep very well.
