Much love and thanks to the anonymous giver of two months of paid LJ time! If the committer of the random act of kindness identifies him or herself, there will be a story or icon or a box of cookies in thanks! But if you choose to stay hidden, know that you have made the ending of my day just wonderful. :)

Oh, and cygna_hime? I'm taking Tomoyo and Naoko back - have big plans for them tonight...

Oh, meeting Michael Shanks was just great - and I managed to keep from gushing too much! I told him how I enjoyed watching him in SG:1, made a few hockey jokes then asked for a picture, which he gladly obliged. He does the 'arm over the shoulder' photo, which is so wibble-worthy! I thanked him and kinda floated away, my friend teasing me to come down from the ceiling. So yes, if he goes to a convention near you, see him. You won't regret it!

There have to be fellow sci-fi geeks at your school! When I was in collge, I had X-Files and Voyager watching buddies - now those were the days. :)

Hee! You'll hear all about the Trafalgar Bicentennial in the next month from me. Just google 'Battle of Trafalgar' and you can read all about it. Basically, it's the most important battle in all naval history, ever.

i'm not so in the dark about history that i don't know about the battle of trafalgar... i'm just not a fanatic ^_^

i'm sure there are other sci-fi geeks here (it is macalester), i just haven't met them yet. none in my chem class (who i should mention i live with)... and i don't think there are any on my floor... but there is a strong contingent of mr. darcy lovers, which i was happy to run across.

Gomen nasai! I read "what" instead of "when" - and the Bicentennial is the 21st of October. I'm just too used to these ignorant philistines in Denver!

*wibbles* Mr. Darcy! Though I'm more of a Colonel Brandon girl myself. ;)

i fully respect col. brandon. i definitely like him better than bingley, that's for sure. i decided while watching the a&e version for the hundreth time last saturday that he needs much more screen/book time. austen hardly does him justice!

just a question, but have you ever read the thursday next books? i have a feeling you might enjoy them, though i could be wrong... i certainly liked them.

I haven't read the Thursday Next books, but I've been wanting to read them for a while. Lately, I've been devouring books - and those have certainly been teasing my palate when I see them in the bookstore! Besides, when you find a good series, you're just thrilled.

I read the comment in your journal about swords - you should really read The Fencing Master. The ending had my heart beating faster, and it's just so well written. And if you can take a fencing class, do it! I took a beginning foil course and it was incredible - a real mental and physical workout!
