heidiAm stull catching up with the LJ universe - I am back as far as Sunday morning now, and still have 2 days to read. I will try, but if I don't comment it does not mean I don't loff you. It just means I have no time.
Weekend in NYC was terrific, although I missed Harry terribly and couldn't sleep well because I'm so used to listening for him if he wakes. Hotel - the Barbizon - was cute, although the rooms were so so so tiny - good for one person, but that's about it. I think we'll need to choose something more spacious if we do the CoS premire weekened in NYC.
Saw Cassie and Penny on Friday, where we discussed [many things I cannot talk about publicly] ha! fake LJ cut!, saw the trailer with Ali and Cassie, then walked out of the terrible thing that was Scooby Doo, and saw Jenny from Ravenclaw from HPfGU on Saturday in the midst of seeing RL friends. Spent Saturday night with Cassie, Ali, Ali's sweet boyfriend, and various of their friends - I was surrounded by the 21 - 26 year old contingent. And I was the only person at the table who ordered a drink - an amaretto & diet coke (tastes like Dr Pepper) and...
I.
Got.
Carded.
I have not been so flattered in a decade.
A decade!
I am so old. Am off to retire now and collect Socialite Security. Actually, no, am simply off to work. Will try to read more LJ stuff later.
One more thing - FA is being flooded with new submissions - we had pushing 200 over the weekend. Our turnaround time for new authors is probably going to be closer to a week to 10 days now, but if you've got a chapter on the site already, you'd be helping us and speeding the time it takes your fic to get onto the site by including links to the prior (and next, if you're submitting more than 1 chapter at a time) chapter, to your Author Page, and to your reviewboard, where you've already set up a review thread. Now that the submission page is so easy, it's just a matter of cutting & pasting, so please, please, please do it. It's for the good of everyone, or something really grandiose like that.
