You will not believe what I received
Mar. 25th, 2009 04:03 pmLast week, during the Plague, I had to go out and mail packages. When I got back, there was a giant box in my driveway, promising tortilla chips.
I brought it in and opened it, and was completely floored.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cactus_wren is the sweetest thing alive--she sent me a giant stuffed squid! I am totally serious, yo. I'm not even disappointed by the lack of tortilla chips.
Talk about great timing. I was so sick and miserable and completely under the weather, and then, like a ray of lime sunshine, I was sent a lovely prezzie. Wren has outdone herself--this is the kewlest squid ever. Srsly. I can't believe the eyes.
And you know what? There is something so tremendously touching about taking the time to make something for someone. Even if the result isn't a five foot long lime squid, it's just--wow. Someone took time out of their lives to create, to give you something, and that is so sweet and wonderful that it makes me feel like I'm walking on clouds. Really, I am so very touched. I feel all gooey inside!

Jan. 9th, 2008 09:44 pmYou will NOT BELIEVE what the angelic, beautiful gypsyjolie has made for me.
It is a squid purse of unbelievable delight. It is cute. It is adorable. IT IS MINE. It even has effervescent bubbles embroidered upon it.
To have someone make something for you, something so perfect--it is the most warming of feelings, and I am just sitting here, enraptured by its soft, snuggly squidilescence. I adore this SO much. I'm overwhelmed!! Gypsy, you are the sweetest, most awesome soul! I love you to death. *giant huggles of squiddly glee* I so rarely get handmade gifts--I'm just so giddy right now!! You're wonderful!!!
(PS: I actually have something for you, too--I made it a month ago, and as always, we've been procrastinating about what to do for L., and it's been sitting here, impatiently waiting to meet you. *cringes* I'm sorry, hon, we'll get it to you soon!)

GILLIE FOR THE WIN!
*adores gillie*
I just remembered this story I wrote while I was in high school. It's rather angsty and strange, of course.
Just goes to show you how deeply my squid-lurve is anchored...
Uh, and character death warning. Rather short, under 500 words.
( Cephalopods ahoy... )

If you haven't read both of the previous parts, here they are: Part One, and Part Two. They're quick reads, I promise.
florence_craye, I apologize in advance.

I am deranged. Also, squid.
Aug. 17th, 2006 08:51 pmETA: Part Two.
julian_black claims there's not enough squid!fic in the world. (She also suffered through the first draft and helped, so part of the blame may be sent directly to her.) So, may I present to you, part deux.
Part one

I have just read the most disturbing fanfic line.
florence_craye, you may wish to cover your eyes.
“No,” [Hermione] confessed. “I had thought a little about his past. What he has done. Particularly when he was a Death Eater.” She could not face Dumbledore, and instead her eyes were drawn to Fawkes, who was gnawing on a piece of cuttlefish.
NOOOO! MAKE HIM STOP!

This is entirelysinick and ac1d6urn's fault, btw.
There was a terrible sound, crashing and raging, the sound of hopes dashing, and then the wards that had protected Hogwarts for ten centuries disintegrated.
"Shall we enter, and punish the blood traitors?" sneeredsnapesforte, her wand already in her hand.
valismort lowered her hands, her glowing red eyes tracing the edges of Gryffindor Tower. "Not yet," she said. "Speaker to Cuttlefish!"
Immediatelyflorence_craye strode forward. "Yes, my lord?" she said, her voice somewhat muffled behind the giant squid beak she used as a mask.

Mar. 19th, 2005 06:03 pmprivatemaladict is so going to laugh...there is a band called valis...and their homepage (valis rocks) is "powered by Laughing Squid".I am not making this up.
I really needed to be on the road yesterday. Fortunately my friends are understanding. My neck and left shoulder blade still hurt something dreadful. And now...snow. Everywhere. I might have been able to manage driving one-handed for six and a half hours, but in this weather it would have been more like ten (because I've done it before) and there's just no way.

_scourgify_ is turning out to be a happening comm. It's a new LotR/HP Sue Report community.
The Destiny Dice somehow managed to avoid getting in my pocket, so I have them for another day or two. I left them out next to the door so I could remember to get them back to my sister, but they were obviously not happy with that, and so here they are. Today's roll: "Happiness" and "Taurus". Yes, I would be very happy if a Taurus came over and levitated myself, my car, and my luggage to WI. Otherwise, random happiness-begatting Taurus, take your lime green Jell-o wigglers and split. Unless you are a masseuse.
