A Spot of Nostalgia in the middle of the night

I was going to post a rant about the disorganization at the Harkins in Tempe but, instead, I'm going to stick with the gleeful bits. Not only did Larry McMurtry stop by my office today (he bought a bunch of used books and is helping to price the ones that he didn't buy) but my old neighbor from when I lived in Camp Hill, PA, stopped by today. She drove in from Camp Hill! Alas, I twisted my ankle at work and couldn't make it to Fry's tonight. Someday, we will get our porch stairs fixed at my office. Someday *impotently shakes fist*

Another awesome thing that happened is that someone read an old H/D fic of mine that I'd forgotten that I'd written. Upon reading it when it showed up in my inbox, I thought it sort of stood up, still. I look back to my older works and I get mildly embarrassed by some of them. Others, I think stand up. Coffee is the story, written back in March of 2006. What do you guys think? Does it stand up?

Also - I noticed that I failed at responding to comments on that post (and so many others, omg. So sorry, people) so major apologies to everyone that commented on it. I appreciate them even if I'm now far too embarrassed to respond to them. (I'm looking at you, [livejournal.com profile] yodels, [livejournal.com profile] sugareey, [livejournal.com profile] enchanted_jae and [livejournal.com profile] wearethestars in specific.) Oh man, how much has happened in fandom since then?

3 years ago today, I posted a [livejournal.com profile] hd_365 fic (don't read it. It's not very good). I posted a Donald Duck Impression to cheer a flist member. (omg, lol. SRS LULZ) I'd forgotten about that one. (I unflocked it so you can giggle at my horrible impression) Also - I giggled in it. LOL. and wtf. I have a tag for it? What the everlasting fuckity fuck? And then I posted about going to Coachella.

Now I'm all nostalgic for the fandom of old.

ETA: omg. I did the donald duck impression TWICE. here too. OMG. Also - that transcript is so made of win, [livejournal.com profile] incapricious!

Just read Coffee. It's heart-wrenching. *hugs Draco* I do think it stands up, but I also think you've improved a lot. :-)

Hee! You should read some of the h/d I've been writing and not posting lately! As the icon says, it's all a load of crap.

That impression will never not crack me up, heeee!

It's awesomeness indeed. I cannot believe I did it twice. Oh man. I tried to find the chat transcript the one from you is based on and I couldn't. I wish I knew what I was saying.........

In all honesty, I have NO IDEA but I just listened to it three times in a row and am CRYING with laughter.

*hugs*

omg *squishes you* Except now I want to hear your yoda impressions ^_^


I got a comment on a very old fic (and definitely one of my worst) yesterday! I feel like there's some weird disturbance happening, because I'm suddenly getting comments like on old stuff, plus being friended by blank journals that have been around for years (so I don't think they're spambots).

LOL - get me drunk at Azkatraz. I'll do it.

Man. It's crazy, isn't it? I love it, though. Srs love. I've not been friended by old journals but I do love the older comments.

Coffee was enjoyable but heart-breaking. Poor, ickle Draco. The reader can't help but feel his pain. Well done.

oh thanks! I enjoyed reading it as a reader as I'd forgotten that I'd written it. <3<3<3

You are so silly! And good gravy, I've no room to be pointing fingers when it comes to being behind on replying to comments. I can't even keep up with my damned emails anymore. *sighs* And hey! You wrote awesome fics for HD365. That was a fun year, even though it was so crazy.

[identity profile] wook77.livejournal.com 2009-04-29 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
holy moly, I am :D.

Well, yes, we did write some awesome but not that one. That one is super rushed. Like - reading it, I can tell I wrote it in a quick sitting. Not one of my better entries.
