Morrissey, thank you for giving me this nasty cold! Hope you're happy now. ;-) No, really, it wasn't his fault, was it? But I have never
ever experienced a torrential rainfall like this for as long as I live here. Queuing in the rain = not good for your health. I know. But what else can you do? It was MORRISSEY after all. :-D And he was great!! Plus I had very lovely company on that day, so it was worth losing my voice over. But could I please have it back any time soon? Thanks. Did any of you see Morrissey on his current tour? Does he always do the fan Q&A session in the middle of the gig? I know I certainly expect him to shred at least two shirts
every night, hehe. :-P
It's fic survey time! Since the last part of The Escalator hasn't exactly received lots of rapturous reviews and I got a few puzzling, mildly discouraging emails on it, I have grown really curious as to why this part obvioulsy didn't fulfill (many?) people's expectations and might even have annoyed some of you. Don't get me wrong, I'm not fishing for compliments here, I want honest criticism! Admittedly, I don't think I would have been that puzzled or bothered to not know, if this had happened with any other part of my story, but this one is so close to my heart, took me literally ages to write and sort of starts to wrap things up as we're nearing the end here, which is why I'd really like a few constructive answers. Haha, I also tentatively try to ascertain, how likely it is you'll cry with dismay at the ending. :-P You can comment anonymously if you want to, since I know some of you don't have an LJ account - or might think I'll bite (which I usually only do when asked to ;-)). Thanks a lot, if you take the time to answer! Oh, and if you have no opinion on that and would instead rather tell me your favorite part/chapter of the story, that would be interesting as well.
Right, here is a random list of things that have made me happy in the last few weeks. Recently I haven't been in a happy state of mind at all, so I deliberately try to focus on the good things for now:
- Listening to the new Patrick Wolf album; yay, I've finally got it!
- Going to gigs
- My friends (you know who you are)
- Re-reading The Bloody Chamber
- Seeing my dog happy and healthy again
- My new, tiny cactuses (I love growing all sorts of plants, but looking for a catcus has become quite the quest nowadays - apparently they are not in fashion anymore. Huh? They are older than mankind and fucking amazing, how can they be "out of fashion"?!)
- Finishing another part of my thesis outline
- Listening to Glasvegas, AFI and Peter
-
enharmonies stunning Gatsby-inspired fic - If you haven't read it yet, go over to A_F
right this second and do so!!!
- Writing.
Okay, I guess that will do for now. xxx
