Prophecy, Entry Ten. Summaries: Sunday.

[valis2]

Sunday

Breakfast with marginaliana and josanpq--we talked about the possibility of smaller, slash-friendly cons.

Later we talked with drusillas_rain, chinae, and julian_black about the shorthand effect--how long it will take for shorthand to emerge. The general consensus is six months. The best example for shorthand is HBP--"After Snape was absolved of his crimes," for example. Right after HBP you couldn't have gotten away from at least a thousand words explaining this situation, but after six months, all you need is that line.

We also talked about great, famous fanfic writers, because I saw amanuensis1 across the lobby and had no idea what to say to her at all. I mean, really, what do you talk about?

Then we wrote RPF about Julian trying to off me because I was too cheerful. "Oh, what a lovely glass of water, Julian, thank you! Ooh, it smells like almonds!"

Julian and I ate lunch, and she smugly pointed this out:



I hope you all notice that it says It's Tentacle-y Delicious. Oh yes.

Then I drove Julian to the airport.

Then I ended up sitting at the border crossing for THREE HOURS.

Then I felt tremendously guilty for suggesting that lampblack take that particular bridge home.

*sigh*

One more entry, and then I'm done. huzzah!

Dude, the border crossing SUCKED. Majorly.

I read the first 100 pages of a book I had brought with me. Thank goodness for that book, or I would have gone absolutely insane. No, seriously!

The "Tentacle-y Delicious" made my day!

Never mind that this ad makes me 100% less likely to order calamari at that restaurant, because they just reminded me that it is, in fact, made of tentacles. ;-)

Mmm...calamari. Oh, wait, what were you saying? *grins*

Eeep! I haven't been at the border for years, but I hear it's worst every year. 8(

Mmmm, tentacle-y fun. ;)

It was horrible! I mean, seriously, I read a book!!

[snarkysneak.livejournal.com]

Am I the only one who absolutely cannot remember writer's names? I wouldn't know a famous fic author until they gave me a synopsis of what they wrote. I'm horrible, I know.

[valis2.livejournal.com]

I can't remember titles OR names. I literally have to ask them to describe their plot in detail, or I can't remember anything.

Hee! Yays for tentacle-y deliciousness! ;D
Tho I do love the calamari steak the most, I'll enjoy every part. ;p
I talked to amanuensis1 about her Snarry Games fic, and reminded her which reviewer I was. :P

Aw, you're lucky--I couldn't even remember anything, I was so starry-eyed! ha!
