Hey, I've been here a while now...
Well, 'a while' is actually six months. Not sure if it feels longer or shorter. What I *do* know is that I've enjoyed myself here and found some truly remarkable friends. I've read so many interesting and thought provoking essays and analysis's (?) that it'd be impossible to name them all. And I've enjoyed some wonderful fics and been inspired to write more of my own, never mind the fact that I'll never be as good as some of you talented people out there.
Also, this is my 140th post (missed the 100th completely a while ago) and I'm rather astonished... to think that I was worried that I'd have nothing to write in my shiny new LJ half a year ago.
I wanted to make this post really good and exciting, but that was reckoning without my brain, which has not been on speaking terms with me all day. So you'll all have to imagine the clever, brilliant and witty things I was going to write! Anyway, I'm working hard on my WIP and I've actually started writing that essay on 'Crush' that I mention now and again... looks like it's going to be long though.
So I guess this is really about all you guys out there - thank you for being so friendly and welcoming, you have no idea how much it means to me. ::hugs::

Now I'm almost tempted to look back through my early posts, and see what I wrote...

Heee! What a wonderful word. :) I've been watching loads of your vids recently, so I'll probably drop by at some point with some feedback.

One year will be just about when the baby is due - so, yes, I'm certain I won't 'celebrate' that one.
Have done precious little today, except for writing and editing - expect a new chapter soon! ;)

Looking forward to it. I have a slightly clogged up week next week, but sling it at me when you're ready.

And ooh, essay on Crush!

I, on the other hand, have been here almost as long, but I have only a handful of posts and intermittent commenting. Lame, lame, lame.

And essay... I have a lot of thoughts - hopefully they'll translate to the screen.
no subject
I know - I was really surprised at my own wordiness!
But then I guess I have more time to waste here - what with no school or job (except for the children of course!!!)

Much, much luck with the writing!

Heh. That's how I feel.
And it's funny, but I really can't imagine LJ without you... ::hugs you back::
Much, much luck with the writing!
Thanks - it's going really well! :)

I'll bet you spend way more time being a mom than I do being a student. Yours is a 24 hours, 7 days a week job. And my degree isn't going to take 18 years or more...I hope.
no subject
Well, that's probably true - and the workload is differently distributed. And good luck with your degree btw. :)

“I think it’s always important for academics to study popular culture, even if the thing they are studying is idiotic. If it’s successful or made a dent in culture, then it is worthy of study to find out why. ‘Buffy,’ on the other hand is, I hope, not idiotic. We think very carefully about what we’re trying to say emotionally, politically, and even philosophically while we’re writing it. The process of breaking a story involves the writers and myself, so a lot of different influences, prejudices, and ideas get rolled up into it. So it really is, apart from being a big pop culture phenom, something that is deeply layered textually episode by episode. I do believe that there is plenty to study and there are plenty of things going on in it, as there are in me that I am completely unaware of. People used to laugh that academics would study Disney movies. There’s nothing more important for academics to study, because they shape the minds of our children possibly more than any single thing. So, like that, I think ‘Buffy’ should be analyzed, broken down, and possibly banned.” ("10 Questions for Joss Whedon")
