Hallo!!! Am back from my 'break' a day early. It was all terribly productive and refreshing. Felt like one of those vacations where you empty your inbox on the beach. (yes, a little The Politician's Wife reference in there - reread it again last night. ♥)
Stuff I did:
- finished first draft of Merlin/Arthur fic - need to type that in tomorrow.
- outlined my SL-fest porn
- got caught up (and fell behind again) on
hds_beltane
- beta'd a few fantastic fics
- replied to comments (still not even close to caught up)
- finished Draco/Al crack broom recs (will post summary soon)
- finished c&p for h/d bookshelf. the lovely vaysh is creating the poll this very moment
- wrote up new Merlin rec post (still formatting - will be up soon)
And of course, I spent a ridiculous number of hours in my backyard in a baby pool, walking to the park, going to the zoo, teaching the kids how to ride their bikes... you know... vacation stuff.
Sorry if I missed something! Link me to stuff I missed, kay?
Also today is Quit Facebook Day
How to permanently delete your facebook account. (The key apparently is to STAY OUT. So you need to stay out of facebook for 2 full weeks after you delete it, or your delete will be cancelled. Sneaky eh?
Happy Monday!
ETA: OMG! LJ!!! NOT COOL!!!! You know how if you see an lj user ID, and there is that little 'person' beside it? and if you hover over that 'person' a rollover box pops up? Well one of those options is to 'remove friend' and if you finger slips and clicks that option, IT DEFRIENDS THE PERSON - no 'are you sure?' just oops... defriended and you didn't even realise that you did it!!! Add that to having a temperamental touch pad instead of a mouse and OMG!!! accidental defriending == UNCOOL! Look, try it, see how ridiculously easy it is! Defriend me:
marguerite_26. but you know... friend me back, kay? Sorry Huey. :(

Date: 2010-05-31 02:23 pm (UTC)Re ETA, ahahahaha. Also, I have noticed before that "View profile," which I do quite often thank you very much, is right next to "Ban user everywhere" and "Report a bot." :( Thanks, LJ.

I never used Facebook but I had an account and had tried to remove it before...without success (because I only deactivated it). Tried again just now :). Even without the privacy issues, I never like the fact that it's there for curious bystanders to look at who I am and who I know and what I do etc etc. *iz antisocial*
Yeah, the way LJ has their menu .. it's so easy to press the wrong thing. I used to be so worried that I would flag a journal by mistake *gulps*.
That's a lot of fun activities for you! *iz jealous*. I still suck at riding the bike and I love to swim (although not the getting ready part... I don't like pool changing rooms) and I love going to the Aquarium, if not the zoo (where I haven't gone enough to remember how it's really like). The sting rays and penguins there are made of awesome! *pats them* :) (Oh, and what I find amusing? There's a seafood restaurant right across the street from the Aquarium... OUCH.)
I have been lurking and reading short fics here and there, H/D and beyond. HP keeps me sane. Honestly. :) Oh oh oh, and I broke my RPS (of RP who I know, so Colin/Bradley, which I have read a few, don't count...) reading cherry! :)

Date: 2010-05-31 04:21 pm (UTC)It's been so long since I last flailed in a pool. I remember trying to play Quidditch with my friends (pebble thrown into water = snitch, inflatable ball = quaffle, two hula hoops = goal posts) xD Unfortunately, I'm pretty much blind without my slash goggles.

Date: 2010-05-31 05:25 pm (UTC)I used to love to dive into 12 ft deep pool (that's the swimming pool I used to go in my school).... and clean up all the fallen leaves and rocks that had accumulated there. It's a test of how long I can hold my breath...
Hee hee. I wonder whether Speedo makes slash goggles. I may swim faster than Michael Phelps if I have them and see.... *grins*. And those rubber caps they make ... aren't they lubricated for easier wear?

Date: 2010-05-31 05:31 pm (UTC)*brain is too strong and burned a hole through drain blockage* LMAO.
That's cool! I always try to swim underwater from one end to the other - but I could never finish it. Hee.
I bet they are lubricated... maybe even the swimming trunks are lubricated. *dies*
