Being mostly happy is better than I thought, apparently.

Before I begin, it should be duly noted that Susie is an absolute doll and deserves more love than I can convey with an ocean between us. *hugs* I'm GIPping this icon here and now because of you.

They've expanded the Reitz into a book-and-swag establishment, though interestingly, their magazine selection seems to have narrowed. I see no new incentive to detour in the future.

In sitcom news, I am the prone-to-accidentally-get-high version of Emma Thompson. The role of my boss will be filled by Angelina Jolie, portrayed by my the decidedly male xalxuffasch as wearemany plays Gary Coleman to giddyupnow's Richard Gere while slimslash provides running commentary as Bill Cosby. walkingshadow seems to have wisely chosen to bow out of the insanity, as while I will be intensely amused, it will probably only air for two episodes.

And for the record, I love my friends (though thankfully, none of them like that), I don't shoplift (though not on moral principle but because I'd be guaranteed get caught), orgasms are elusive but attainable (because it really is all about communication), I don't always love myself but mostly, yeah, I'm okay, and I think whoever posted this comment is a freakin' genius. Best practical joke I've seen in forever.

Finally, my own happy secret, as prompted by Nia: I sing very loudly and think I do it rather well when driving in my car. I neither want nor need anyone to confirm or deny this, because it gives me joy as one of the things I'm happy to leave uncertain.

I am all about shamelessly encouraging your writing. And Billy Joel! I've had This Is the Time in my head for three days. Consider this a general 'you should write' comment with a firm nod. Yes. Otherwise I'll spam you with random lyrics of his until you do, and nobody wants this to get ugly. ;)

Whee! This fall! As in, the months of October or November? *squee* You tell me when and I'll make every unreasonable effort to make the trip up there.

Dude. Married to Kenneth Branaugh? I'll take it. *g*

*mwah* You're so welcome, hon. Glad you liked it. Justin doesn't know what he's missing, man. But then, that could well escalate into forbidden fruit allure and the next album will be tragiccally melancholic streetified achey-breaky heart songs. *giggle* I'd do very naughty things to hear Justin sing Untouchable Memories.

...

Bwahahahaha! *collapses in a hysterical giggle fit*

Bwah! I think my most recent LJ post is as close as we'll ever get to those TEN stories. Do you know how long that would take me? I just don't do short. ;-)

Yes, very likely! I'm not sure when exactly, but I keep hoping JC's tour dates will be released and I can try to take them into consideration. But at some point Marty and I are just going to have to make our travel plans, with or without JC. ;-) I'll let you know more info when I have it. It would be so much fun to meet you!

Look! Look at my icon!

Now, you know that only makes me love you more, right? I'm all on the side of whoever said this spate of flash fiction has got to be abated. People think they're real stories! They don't see communities like contrelamontre as an exercise forum, but rather as legitimate, real feedback-worthy fic. I'm all about encouraging brevity and wit and all that, but real themes, real events, need fleshing out, exploration, time and care and we're losing that with the new authors coming into fandoms everywhere.

Valdosta is apparently all of two hours north of me, so definitely let me know when you guys have firmed things up, whether or not our favorite anal-retentive perfectionist decides to unveil his roadmap for winning over the nation one theater show at a time.

Your icon! It's ingenious! And pretty! And maybe giving me a bit of deja vu, though I can't quite place it...
