Random Remarks

1) It is my last day of holidays. On Monday I go back to work. *sobs piteously*

2) It's also exactly a year today since I, trembling with fear, posted my very first fanfic. Since then I have posted over 50 fics and 50 drabbles, written lots of meta, read even more meta, discussed old episodes, new comics, and various other shenanigans, got several dozen icons, and made quite a few friends on the other side of the world...

3) Out of the three cats I am well aquainted with, my parents' cat Rupert has the best purr, my sister's cat Max has the best will-you-pat-me-please meow, and Elf has the best oh-you're-patting-me-so-WELL stretch.
Must use my Science Lab Of DOOM to combine them all in one SuperCat.

4) For the first time in weeks, I have no dishes waiting to be washed, no dishes soaking in the sink, and no dishes in my drying rack. *feels very tidy and organised*

5) I love Killing Heidi and all their music.

6) Everyone seems to be posting Fic I Wrote This Year posts. But, given #2, I'd just end up linking everyone to my fic list, which is already fairly accessible...

7) My most popular post this year was on The Vegemite Effect, with 65 comments.
(Interestingly enough, my second most popular post was this one (59 comments), in which I lamented the lack of Lemon Lime and Bitters drinks outside Australia. My flist seems to have a fascination with Aussie food...)

8) The friendships that last for ages are never the ones you expected to.

9) Somewhere over the course of this year, I've actually started liking herbal tea. Oh the shame!

Oh damn, and I was looking forward to dragging you out somewhere when I get over my cold!

It'll just have to be on a weekend or something :-)

1)I'm back at work today, first day since pre-Christmas. :-(
Honestly, you'd think they could give everyone the day off- what with my stellar efforts today, i might as well have been home watching paint dry... *yawn*

4) well done! I had that experience just once, on Monday- the morning before friends came to our new place for the first time. So wow.

9) http://www.celestialseasonings.com/products/detail.html/herbal-teas/sleepytime mmmm, yummy. I can even drink this without sugar! *gasp*
Well okay, with minimal sugar.
Very comforting stuff.

Wowza. Go, you! It's taken me five plus years to write 65 fic - and that includes the drabbles.

I usually post a list of fics I've written during the year. However, 2008's isn't going to take long.

1) -pats sweetly-

2) You're a complete animal when it comes to posting. I'm willing to guess you've at least doubled the amount of fic/meta I've posted this year, if not trippled. You rock.

Also, said it before, but I can still hardly believe that that was your first fic. It seemed like you'd been doing it for much longer..

3) If you figure that out, I call dibs on a clone of SuperCat.

4) Now if only I could learn from you.. -glances around at the mess-

5) Hmm. Maybe I should give them a listen.

6) Still need to make one of those.. -eyes half finished list-

7) That was a very insightful post, it still pops in my head from time to time when I feel myself under the influence of said effect..

8) Agreed.

9) Tea is the best. Well, in second place to coffee, anyway..

Coffee? We don't need know stinking coffee!

(Yet another reason why I really should move to England - over there, tea is the default.)

Coffee is awesome.

So, put that in your pipe and smoke it. :P

Hah! Coffee is dreadful. I'd much rather smoke it than try drinking it!

*smugly drinks my morning cup of tea*

-pokes tongue out over my morning coffee-

Well, if one must drink tea over coffee, I'd say green tea is the way to go..
