newmoonstarAck! So much going on, so much catching up to do!
It's been awhile since I've visited la_gramarye's journal. Dear, sweet, cool Kelly; I'm so glad to hear from her again! Kosmaholics FOREVER!!!!! And I THINK I remember Rebekah. ::looks sheepish:: But I remember her being very nice. And Kelly's right, we Anastasia fans have to stick together! ;-D
Last night I finally got to watch some of the Forsyte Saga on PBS. There's seven parts, and the fifth part last night was the only one I got to see so far, because my mom detests Masterpiece Theater costume dramas based on 19th century English novels. I on the other hand LOVE them, and watch every single one I can. And in fact, it was in one of these that I first saw Daniel Radcliffe, when he was playing David Copperfield. And I remember distinctly thinking to myself what an adorable child he was and how much I liked him, and that there was something about him that made me think he'd have a huge career. And then, how many months later, it turns out they cast him as Harry Potter! HAH! Can I pick 'em or WHAT?
But anyhow, the point of this is that Christian Coulson plays Jolly Forsyte, and he's also going to play Tom Riddle in the next HP movie. JOLLY FORSYTE IS THE DARK LORD! I find this abso-fricking-lutely hilarious.
And I MUST MUST MUST send Sherrie' my Percy fic. I've been telling her I would for ages, and I haven't, and I feel so bad. Of course I feel worse about Kelly, because I've been telling her for even longer that I'd send her some of my original fiction and I haven't. I really meant to lately, but I lost the darn CD which had the beginning chapter of the one I was going to send her. Although I must say that now I'm beginning to dislike that one too. I know, I'm a horrible perfectionist, and I'm too fickle about which story I want to be working on. The trouble is, I've got so many floating about in my head, that they're always competing to get down on paper, and I end up never actually writing any of them, because I'm to preoccupied with WHICH ONE I should write first. Does that make any sense at all? In some odd way I'm sure it does.
But I'm so terrible about it. If there's one thing I'm angry with myself about it's that I never get any writing done. I spend all my time imagining all these new things, so I never have any time left to actually write it down . And I always get so discouraged when it's not half so glorious on paper as it was when I imagined it. ::SIGH:: I know I shouldn't worry about this, and by golly I'm trying. Kind of. When ever I get to worried about my writing I go and read. Somehow I think that to do that is running away from the problem, but it's a useful thing to read a lot. So I can't decided if this is a good or bad habit.
Oy. I'm rambling like crazy. Must stop. Must talk about lighter subjects. Like the start of the skating season! YAY!!!! I saw ALL of Skate America this year, unlike previous years when I have always forgotten about it. But this year I'm marking the calendars. Not one event shall I miss! I will never have another year like the one where I missed WORLDS. I STILL can't believe that! And I think it was the year Elena and Anton won their second title. I think I'll cry. GOOD GOD do I miss them already! The whole pairs field seems desolate and empty without them. And I don't care what anyone says, Totmianina and Marinin and NOT the heirs apparent to the Russian pairs skating legacy. They are SO boring! I will curse the next person who says they are Elena and Anton's succesors! Like heck they are! If anything, that young Chinese pair, I forget their names, remind of Elena and Anton more than any of the others. I actually like all the Chinese teams the best out of the up-and-comers in the field. I know everybody's been criticizing their artistry, and the quality of their basic skating technique, but most of the young ones have the delicate, lyrical quality that typified the Russian pairs of the past. Holy moly, did I say LIGHTER subjects? Did I actually imply that I, the most skating obsessed human being in the world who doesn't actually skate, could take skating LIGHTLY? I must be VERY tired. Went to bed far too late last night I think!
Well, well, well. I think maybe I've rambled myself out for today. Which is probably for the best. Must send Sherrie' Percy fic!
