The weather outside, mostly in the way it smells and the way the air feels, makes me ridiculously nostalgic for summer 2004, when I was getting paid to sit around in comfy chairs and read Patrick O'Brian and drink fresh-ground & brewed coffee. That was also the summer I got myself OH-SO in-over-my-head with the Sparrington ficathon AND the J/W ficathon, and the summer I started Psalms to the Taffrail. And not that last summer wasn't incredible, but '04 just had something magical about it. I was diving head-first into fandom, writing like I'd never written before, and everywhere I turned there was something new and fantastic to learn or discover. It was something special.

Or I could be insane. At any rate, I need to finish my calculus.


Some points of housekeeping/love, thank you [livejournal.com profile] obi_wansgirl for the lovely good-luck clover on my userinfo; it made me smile during an all-nighter when I especially needed it, and thank you [livejournal.com profile] drbillbongo for the DVD! Exploding wigs of death, indeed. :D

Oh, I'd love to get paid for that! *is envious*
I look back on summer 2004 with mixed feelings. Fandom was awesome (and a lot busier than at the moment), but it also reminds me of that dissatisfying and exasperating relationship I had back then. A reason why I hate looking back, because there's always a white spot on the black paper.

Glad the DVD arrived! Oh, and someone prompted me those exploding wigs of death - or rather, of doom - to write in a drabble. *headdesks*

Ah, by the way... Since you always make such brilliant icons, would you mind making a Mr Arrow icon for me? *puppy dog eyes* No rush, take your time - but I'd LOVE to have one!

re: Mr. Arrow icon -- I adore him and was totally planning on making a few! of course I have nasty school things at the moment, so I'm not sure when I'll have time for that ;_; but I agree! he's totally iconworthy!

Nice. I was just so excited when I found someone from my state in the BoP area. I feel like no one else understands up here, lol.
