Coming home on the (admittedly packed) train on Friday, some old twit thought a very clever place to rest his hand, and therefore body-weight, would be the top lip of my laptop screen. Y'all get no guesses as to what happened. In my normal mild-mannered (read "desire to tell people when they're being stupid suppressed") state, I noted that it perhaps wasn't the smartest place to lean, and very calmly (I thought) shared a smile with the girl sitting across from me as I rebooted the laptop. It was only two hours later, when the girl stood up, that I realised she looked remarkably like a good friend of mine in primary school. Probably not the same girl, but still.
And the other day, reading a snippet of poetry, I discovered a title for one of the novels waiting in line to be written. Can you believe it? A novel, not yet written, already with a title! Who am I, and what have I done with myself?

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
What's the deal with limyaeel? I've seen her stuff around for quite awhile, but don't know much about her. Is she a fantasy author? Is there a place I can get her books from? Just curious…
I don't know if she's published or not, actually. She does write, but I only know that from the contents of her livejournal userinfo page. Her rants are more from the perspective of a jaded audience, and very valuable, both for the humour and for the way she suggests alternatives. worth keeping an eye on.
