→ So today there was an awesome ladies podfic anthology posted at halfamoon. rhea314 read my teeny tiny [out-of-nowhere] fic, to the other side, about luisa from y tu mama tambien. I'm very honored to be a part of it and it's really neat to hear someone reading your work. So you guy should go check it out if you want.

→ I got this awesome "mallow kebab" for my parents for valentine's day at World Market today. The thing is at least two feet long. (Maybe longer? I don't know. I'm a bad judge of size, haha.) Just look!:


None of that candy is mine by the way. That's all from me and to other people. I am skipping the whole candy thing this year. Instead I got a marble heart:

It's heavy and cool like a marble, only a bit larger and just the right size to hold in the palm of your hand. [I'll pause for the collective awwwwwww!]

→ Speaking of valentine's day treats, thank you to angela_weber for the awesome valentine's day fic she wrote me! Yay!

→ I don't know if I mentioned to anyone but I deleted my tumblr about a week ago. There are a myriad of reasons but the major one was that it just wasn't for me. I'll probably refrain from discussing it at any length, but there is a certain sociological element to it that I just couldn't seem to get on board with. And I really had no interest in trying. I pretty much posted every graphic both here and at livejournal, so it's not like you won't be able to find me or the random stuff I may make from time-to-time.

→ There is only one graphic (and not just colored pictures) that I made and posted there that I hadn't had a chance to post here yet:

Tyler from The Vampire Diaries.

That mallow kebab.. thing looks like it could cause a sugar coma. Haha.

But, I agree with what you said about Tumblr. I used it for a while, but it lost its appeal - to me. Personally, while I enjoy looking at picspams there's more to life than pictures of pretty scenes. I'd rather talk with people about said scenes, instead of just squeeing over the pretty. If.. that made sense?

It's a kebab! Made of mallows! Hahaha. And yes, it sure does!

Yes, there's more to fandom than that. I feel like it oversimplified this really complicated and wonderful thing. It stripped it down to the most basic element. "Pretty colors!" And yet it is so much more. Not that you can't say a lot in a graphic that you'd played with an manipulated, but for me there's still [a huge] something missing.

That's how I felt about Tumblr, while I was using it. I met some pretty amazing people while on there, but it's nothing compared to the people I've met on LiveJournal. It's nice to know people aren't just watching shows because they're pretty (though, I'm sure some people enjoy that it's pretty, also), but can actually talk about them - because they have feelings. Tumblr, to me, always felt like (in the words of Explosions In The Sky) a "cold, dead place."

I think I felt the same way, just not in so many words.
