Le sigh

[serafina20]

I always hate it when I look on rec sights, and the people have recc'ed some truly aweful stories or authors I think really can't write, and my stuff isn't out there. Which actully happens quite a lot. I so rarely get rec'ed anymore, or ever. *sigh*

In other news, a new Horatio Hornblower this week, and I get to go skating with garryowen today!! *bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, cat, scratch, ouch!, blood, alchohol, fuck!, band-aid, bounce, bounce, bounce*

The project I'm doing with the kids tomorrow is having them sort things that happened long ago, today, and both. So, fetching water would go with long ago, but usign a computer is today, right? All night, I had nightmares that I'd put things like "being gay" or "being gay in the military".

*bangs head on keyboard* I need pyschological help.

DUDE! Last night I drempt that we came in from recess and I was missing half my class, and I couldn't remember anyone's name, so I sat writing a list asking children their names, much to their confusion.

I've never had this kind of dream before -- I have the one where they refuse to cooperate ALL THE TIME, or I show up to work naked, but never one where I forgot names.

I never got back to you on Angels in America! Are you getting to see it? I know you want it right away but if you aren't seeing it I can send you a tape pretty quickly or meet up somewhere. Let me know.

Tape is fine. I know I'm not going to see it when it airs, but if you could get me a tape, I would worship you forever. :)

No problem..I'm not going to be home so I have to tape it anyway. Do you want all the parts or each one?

Um ... all the parts. You mean like both parts at once, right? Bcause that's fine. I can be patient. ;)

Thank you *soooooooooo* much.

No problem we can get together for a hot apple cider after you are on break and I can "hand them over". Have a good week!

Oh yeah...I loved the latest part of COTW. Thanks for the great work.

One thing you have to always remember is that rec lists are subjective. It depends only on the reccer's tastes, which as we are all individual human beings with brains, are going to be different than Mary Sue's on the other side of the computer.

There are *many* rec lists out there which have dark, deep, depressing stuff by BNFs which I loathe, primarily because I don't understand the story or its just to dang stylistically wordy.

I suggest going with rec lists that detail the type of fic it is (humor, drama, etc) or has a big summary of the story, so you know what you're going to read.

And I recced you, so that's all that's important. *g*
