State of the Lily

Much belated this week, as I was still mostly dead on Monday, and had a pointless doctor's appointment of pointlessness on Tuesday. Rar.

Physical: Had appointment. It was pointless.

In other news, Mary, my physical therapist, is going on a medical leave of her own, which means I'll have to finish out the summer with someone else. Bugger.

In other other news, my lower back has been killing me in the last few days. I don't know why, as I haven't done anything that might fuck with it. I really wish health insurance covered massages.

Spiritual: I now know I'm on friendly terms with the air element; I wouldn't have made it all the way through Blogathon, if not for a much-welcomed air-energy infusion from [livejournal.com profile] wired_lizard. That was nice~

Emotional: Going through a bit of...not introvert shock so much, but overwhelmedness? avoidance of things requiring coherent thought and/or commitment? Whichever. I'll give it a couple of days and it'll pass. It always does.

Blogathon: I win! I did it! Thanks to you all (including newest donor, [livejournal.com profile] shadesong!), I've managed to raise $210.

Meanwhile, I have yet to receive my Blogathon e-mail, which would direct me through the actual donation process. Is this true for everyone?

Currently reading: Back to Paladin of Souls, which I wound up putting aside, once I got my grubby paws on Deathly Hallows.

Currently watching: Re-watched Nightmare Before Christmas just yesterday. Not quite as good as I remembered, but entertaining.

Currently listening to: Soundtrack to Chess.

Currently wondering: Why a part of me wants to be drawn into the Harry Potter fandom. I'm getting fic bunnies. Hell, I'm even re-reading old RP logs. I'm a sad, sad person. This is also the part of my brain that wonders what would happen if you took the Corpus Delicti game concept and made it Deathly Hallows compatible (well, most of Deathly Hallows). My fanbrain is just not allowed to talk anymore.

KoL: Started the Level 12 Quest. Haven't had the chance to play much yet.

BPAL: My lab order has arrived. With it, I also got Tetzcatlipoca, Somnus and Blood Amber frimps. Real reviews will come later.

Glasgow bottle - heavenly, as expected.

Persephone - pretty; may be a bit overpowering. Can't decide.

Rosalind - goes to soap, which is a shame, cause I got an extra frimp of it.

I haven't heard a single word.

I'd like to try Persephone at some point. I don't think I ever have.

Oh, good, so it's not just me.

You can try it when you're over to do the tax stuff. It'll be a nice diversion from all the forms.

It looks like that'll probably be tomorrow night, if that's okay.

Absolutely!

*wince* I still think that sitting in that little stool for 24 hours did your spine no favors.

Mmm, probably not. >.<

If I may venture a guess? You're being drawn into the HP fandom due to an upswell of fannish energy surrounding the release of DH, plus chewy LARPtastic goodness as an empirical reminder that not all HP fans are rabid or crazy. More importantly, it was a reminder that, yeah, playing in JKR's world is fun!

And yay for fic bunnies! If you need to burble about them, I am all ears. Or eyes, if you prefer email/AIM. I am all eyes and ears!

And so, call you I did. *g*

Hi. I need your direct link for your blogathan donation site, because the blogathon site is sending me to a "page not found" thing when I try to fulfill my pledge.
