Bit of Ivory

From Leaky:
Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger Named Among EW’s Favorite Fictional Lovers
I’m grinning like a loon.
Also making the list are some of my favorites, like Lois/Clark, Aragorn/Arwen, Leia/Han, and of course, Lizzy/Darcy.
(Oh, and remember how I was rejoicing in the sweater weather? Yeah. Yesterday’s storm, which was supposed to be nice and short [...]

That is what I have managed to make out of my 100% hemp yarn. That’s what I get for thinking that I could wind it into a ball without the aid of a swift or even a chair back. It will probably take an hour to untangle. Joy. It’s a pretty color, though. A very [...]

It’s a slow day at work. I find it rather– ironic that now, where I’m working somewhere that updating my journal from work would be perfectly acceptable, I hardly ever do it. But when I was working somewhere where doing such a thing would be frowned upon, I did it all the time.
Anyway. I’m just [...]

Okay. Let’s see. I think I’m going to break this down into categories for ease of organization and such.

A lot. And yet, not much. I’ve been going to school, working, and playing a bit. Listening to HBP as I commute. JKR is a genius, and so is Stephen Fry. My sister gets married a week from today :O, so there’s been a bit of wedding planning as well. I’m glad for the long [...]

The TA thing is going good. I gave a presentation in the class on Tuesday on the Gothic novel (they’re reading Frankenstein). Keats is up next, yay! I like Keats.
We’re reading Byron in romantic lit. I’ve decided that I’m not particularly thrilled with Byron when he’s being sterotypically Byronic. I much prefer him in his [...]

So, today two proposals with my name on them were submitted to Lumos today. One is a panel in defense of Ginny (which should be WAY fun, if it gets picked). The other is a serious literary presentation which would be me, myself, and I. *gulps*

I love not having to do anything in particular at any particular time. It’s great.
I’ve spent mucho time at the Quill, stayed up late and slept in, gone shopping (I got two new pairs of boots! Yay!), met up with my fellow SQUtah Quillers, locked my keys in the trunk at said summit and had [...]
