*waves like a mad thing*

Sorry for disappearing. I just upped and went to stay with nan for a few months. Needed the change of air, the rest and the time to think. Then I went to stay a bit with Fleur. Then, when I came back, I moved. :-D

I'm finally settled in my new flat - ground floor, stairs are not knee-friendly things - and my new life.

HUGZ to all.

Y'know, I've really lost the typing habit, have done a LOT of verbal communication and practically none of the written one, it feels awfully odd right now. BUT! I have Deep Thoughts on some things with which I'll bore you all to tears quite soon. I also have a fic gestating, but I don't know if I'm going to inflict it on you.

Soooo... read any good book lately?

Hey! *waves and HUGS back* Good to see you again! :D

Hmm, good books? A few, I guess. Ones that come to mind is A Clockwork Orange (I loved the writing, though I hated the moral), The Golden Compass (great stuff all around. Also, bears. Can't go wrong with bears. =]) and Duty Calls (though I'm somewhat embarrassed about liking that one so much, since it's really just space opera with no character development and not deeper themes of any sort. But I just adored the main character, who's a bastard hero who probably isn't as much of a bastard as he thinks he is). Oh, and Un Lun Dun (China MiƩville is now officially one of my literary heroes - that book is yet another example that proves that children's lit doesn't have to be dumb). And there is something to be said for The Dead Fathers' Club by Matt Haig, if you feel like a somewhat disturbing retelling of Hamlet. :)

My exact opinions on each of these are of course available under the "review" tag in my journal. Your comments would be most welcome. :D

Hi, I just wanted to let you know that I accepted you over at lovelessdiscuss! Things have been really slow since we've had no new chappies lately, but I just posted a Soubi scavenger hunt, so come join the fun if you like...! ^_^

Welcome back! I'd been wondering where you'd gotten yourself off to, and now you come back and I get to talk to you! I'm happy.

Incidentally, I've done a fair amount of updating since you last read The Birth of Guyver V. Ryan and Agito have met and they're getting along like a house on fire; insults have been exchanged, and someone - I'm not naming names ;) - has gotten punched. I think you'll enjoy it.
