This and that

[elisi]

Firstly for those of you in the UK. Please go and Sign Jamie Oliver's petition for better school dinners. I'm sure you know why!

Secondly, I've been looking around for this crossover fic that I read ages ago, and remembered as being very good, and finally I found it. It's BtVS/Firefly, with Spike and River. A wonderful little gem of a fic: Given Name. Please go read! :)

And lastly, because this post is turning out decidedly random, I thought I'd post this meme I gacked from avrelia a good few weeks ago.




You are 'Gregg shorthand'. Originally designed to
enable people to write faster, it is also very
useful for writing things which one does not
want other people to read, inasmuch as almost
no one knows shorthand any more.

You know how important it is to do things
efficiently and on time. You also value your
privacy, and (unlike some people) you do not
pretend to be friends with just everyone; that
would be ridiculous. When you do make friends,
you take them seriously, and faithfully keep
what they confide in you to yourself.
Unfortunately, the work which you do (which is
very important, of course) sometimes keeps you
away from social activities, and you are often
lonely. Your problem is that Gregg shorthand
has been obsolete for a long time.


What obsolete skill are you?

This is worryingly accurate...

Oh no, don't feel bad for asking! I'm the one who feels guilty for being forgetful, especially since i know how good it does feel to get feedback from people you respect. :)

Although..ummm.. it still feels weird to me to think that there would be people out there I've never actually met who would value my opinion. I'm still not used to the the whole having friends thing. *blushes*

Heh. We can both feel guilty together then! ;)

I tried to remember how I first came across you, and after thinking very hard, I recalled that the first post of your that I ever read was the one where you first talked about doing a long 'defense' of S7 - so I most definitely value your opinion! :)
