welcome and a few notes

[wook77]

I've noticed that my flist has recently jumped about 10 people and so, to all those new to my journal, welcome! To those familiar with me, err, welcome as well!

You'll find plenty of fic here as well as a ton of recc's. I find quite a few things entertaining so I do commentary on them fairly often. I also work in an animal shelter so be prepared for plenty of animal related stories. I also post about my RL as well as other random goings on.

Since there are so many new people, feel free to drop me a line and tell me about yourself. To aid in this, why not tell me what song I should think of when I think of you? So, comment with a song title and artist that you think sums you up the best. Bonus points if you YSI it to me but that's not necessary. (this idea is shamelessly stolen from emmagrant01)



A list of things about me.

1.) I love... water chesnuts, H/D, chinese food, italian food, potato chips, H/D, hp_bb, my dogs, my flist, H/D, shoes. (and all that other stuff I have listed in my interests)
2.) I hate... bad drivers, other drivers, traffic, bad pr0n, being sick, my job (at times), posers, dishonesty
3.) I need... money, food, shelter, clothing, shoes, H/D
4.) I want... See my needs in addition to a different job and a college degree.
5.) I dream... World peace or at least the US without wanker President Bush, about humans treating other humans AS humans, a world without authorized and endorsed torture or even torture of any kind, H/D, H/D/Blaise in hp_bb (come on, boys, if you're reading this... make a girl's dream come true, yeah?), about more time in the day so I can keep up with fandom.



Not sure if I said this but I'm now the maintainer for slashfest so, err, you all are going to participate when it starts on May 28th, right? *puppy dog eyes*.

So, even those that never comment, let me know what you think I should know about you! I'm friendly, honest, I haven't ripped out an arm in a really long time (if you don't count the jackass in front of me this morning going 35 in a 65 zone).

1.) I love... music, movies, H/D, art, thai food, my kitty
2.) I hate... the thought of having to write a 120 page paper in 3 weeks.
3.) I need... a job, an apartment, money, motivation, drive
4.) I want... to graduate, to write, to make music
5.) I dream... in color, and sometimes about random things that months later happen in real life -- think rummaging in a specific bag at a specific time with specific people -- its totally unhelpful.

um...a song to associate with me...Rufus Wainwright, 'Tower of Learning'
or possibly Iron & Wine, The Trapeze Swinger

Welcome! I agree with the needs especially... I keep getting told by my family that I have no drive or motivation. I say *meh* to that.

I love your dreaming thing! That's really cool.

Don't know if I've heard those songs before but I'll get my music pimp to play them for me.

Rufus Wainwright is one of the best singer-songwriters out there. Truly -- He and his best friend did 3 songs for the Brokeback Mountain Soundtrack, but Rufus's best albums are definitely 'Poses' and 'Want One'. I saw him perform Songs from Want at UVA, with an audience of less than 500 and just him onstage with a piano and a guitar. To this day, it is one of the most amazing experiences of my life. (then i met him outside a different concert in DC, and he was so nice).

Iron and Wine I also highly recommend -- it is very soft and melodic Folk music, simply beautiful. When i saw them in DC with Calexico, they were great, so you should definitely check them out. They have a new ep, Woman King, but i would sample a couple from other albums before jumping into that one, because its sort of a new sound, check out the songs 'The Trapeze Swinger' and 'Naked as We Came' great stuff.

anyway...this is a warning not to get me started on music i guess ;)

have a great one.
