Hap hap happy.

Today I like the internet. (Who knows how I'll feel tomorrow.)

I love my flist, I like LJ, I love the archives that voluntarily host my stories for free...I'm just happy.

Had lovely chats with fiesty girl aerynstales and fabulous Muggle hunter snapesforte, and they were wonderful.

Flist, if you see I'm online and want to chat, ping away. I may be zoned out or doing laundry, but if I'm there and I'm not working on Teh Ginormous Fic, I'll babble away.

Oh, and I applied for one of the Acolyte positions in mortifyd's New Alan Order. Here's the "Alan Rickman hymn" I came up with:

He watches. He waits.

His voice cuts glass, soothes hurt, strikes when you least expect, binds your very breath. His voice can crawl inside. His voice can slide around corners and illuminate the dark interior of the box under your bed. His voice drips with honey and its edge is keen. His voice is burnished, coppery, cold against your throat. His voice burns like brandy in your mouth.

In the dark, he is a lion. His growl pins you to the wall, bites at the back of your knee, the tender skin of your inner elbow, it makes you his. He will draw blood and sugar from you, let you thrum beneath his fingers, decadent and breathing holy.

Looking through my Amazing Thesaurus, I found that a synonym for prayer was "Holy breathing" and I am completely transfixed with that phrase now.

Okay, enough randomness for one entry. I hope you all have a lovely day. I'm off to work now.

I love my flist, I like LJ,

I second that. :)

His voice can slide around corners

I love this line, you can actually feel the slide. Such a lovely way of putting it.

"Holy breathing"... is when Severus Snape uses his lungs. ~sigh~ ;-)

I never thought I would have this much fun with LJ. I honestly did it just because I had an itch to write a review about a movie I'd seen. And it snowballed from there.

Nice to bump into you on YIM the other day, fellow Michigander and flister. ;)

*headdesk* I didn't mention our brief, lovely chat! I'm so absent-minded these days. I enjoyed talking to you as well!

What luck---I chatted with both of the owners of my two most favorite Snapesites! What a day yesterday was.

See, I learned something! This is why I'm usually fond of the internet, and why I, too, love my flist, and LJ. Holy Breathing...it definitely opens up the mind to possiblities, doesn't it?

Am friending you BTW!

Yay! Another wonderful friend. I've seen your amusing comments on deleterius and elsewhere...glad to have lured you to my own journal...mwa ha ha.

Holy breathing as a synonym for prayer... how very true.

Oh, and by the way...

I once described Alan Rickman's voice as follows:

It sounds like ice melting in a glass of whiskey.

;-)

Mmmm...a lovely image! Thank you so much for sharing the Alan-love.

I was thinking about "holy breathing" all day. I love this thesaurus. It is totally outdated by today's standards, but it has such haunting images in it...

...it is not fair to make me start whimpering just THINKING about Alan Rickman's voice. I should actually get to HEAR his voice before I whimper! *g*

I had the misfortune to find that Shakespeare sonnet he recited somewhere the other day...I just melted into a puddle as he read it. Oh, that voice, that wicked, delicious, sexy...oh, I could list adjectives all day.
