For 31_days_exchnge. Themeset written by shirasakura  whom I thank for a very interesting and fun list of prompts. I thought up this main theme, 31 Ways to Be Lost or Found, in hopes that it would be easier to write with a concrete purpose in mind.

( The list )

Thoughts, general comments, criticism would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

lilacfield is hosting a Fanfic Writer Friending Meme. Go visit and spread the word! :)

Thank you lilacfield  for the invite code. 

Still takishia over at DW. I have yet to figure out the DW/LJ thing.

This would be my main journal. Dreamwidth to comment on friend's posts. Maybe I'll make it a writing/music journal. Am undecided.

So. Friends?

'Is nothing that draw me to she but that and the way she want nothing from me and the way she brand new and come from another life.'

Dionne Brand, In Another Place, Not Here

It's a good thing that my firends and classmates warned me about this book. I'm over the shock of reading it, I think.

From a_white_rain

1. Tell you why I friended you.
2. Associate you with something - fandom, a song, a color, a photo, a word etc.
3. Tell you something I like about you.
4. Tell you a memory I have of you.
5. Ask something I've always wanted to know about you.
6. Tell you my favorite user pic of yours.
7. In return, you must post this in your LJ.

7. is optional?

And also! I haven't forgotten the fic meme! Working on it!

Watched the movie on youtube sometime ago. Didn't think much of it then--can't say I love it now, but gotta say, it's got fic potential. That's what I've been reading, mostly--it's like brain bleach after my (mostly) crapastic week at uni. Yes, escapism is key.

Fics from here, in case anyone's curious. Now, what got me into the movie again? shiegra's Interruptus and Carnivale. Go read! They are lovely.(Sucktastic reviewer is me, so I shall just leave it at that for now.)  

On a related note, have some David Bowie lyrics and youtube links:

( As the World Falls Down, Within You, The Man Who Sold the World )
I feel like I usually can't quote David Bowie's specific lines--I need to listen to the songs as a whole. Other favourites:
Ziggy Stardust, Life On Mars, Space Oddity, Starman, Five Years, Oh! You Pretty Things.

I really should start on my next batch of assignments...oh well.

Snagged from lilacfield: 
Throw me a character/pairing, and I will write a minimum of 500 words of fic.

 Any fandom that I know of will do, but I might ask for another if I'm stuck.

Amazon rank. No wonder I couldn't find E. M. Forster's Maurice. Gotta go find another online resource for books.
