i can't be nobody else but if i could would you love me then?

( This )

is what I saw every time I looked down today. And everytime I did, I thought HEY I AM WEARING PURPLE STOCKINGS. AND THEY ARE AWESOME. I love how sometimes the clothes you wear make you go :D.

Am enjoying the new job. Everyone seems friendly, and the work is varied enough to be interesting, and there is an awesome coffee machine and free fruit and just, yeah, it's pretty good. Also I got paid today, and that was VERY SHINY INDEED.

So yes. Things are good. Also, I am super excited that hp_beholder starts posting in like two days. I feel like a kid at Christmas. I know I am harping on about that, but it's just my favourite (oh btw mod if you're feeling very nice you can post my fic on my birthday y/y? *g*).

I've been reading all this meta on Mary Sues that's going around lately, and it's really interesting. I said something similar myself quite a while ago - about Mary Sues not being that bad, really - and got shouted down by random people. Possibly because I wasn't as eloquent as most of the people posting now, for sure, but it's interesting to see how fandom's attitude changes. As far as I see it, yes, Mary Sues can be annoying, but good god that word gets bandied about far too often, and seriously, leave people to their fantasies. If you don't like it, you don't have to read it. Also the discussion gives me bunnies for a fic I had the idea for like three years ago, but never wrote. Perhaps I shall try my hand at writing it.
