your mum is right, though. he IS gorgeous.


"Are you a princess? I said & she said I'm much more than a princess, but you don't have a name for it yet here on earth."

-Brian Andreas


Limertilly: A pagan deity forgotten by man and therefore banished to the realms of memory and darkness now remembered by a young girl in downtown L.A. in the form of a dream and therefore freed to reap your revenge on the people who discarded you, thereby forcing said girl to learn to use her innate yet awesome powers as a soothsayer to gather forces of the Earth to defy you and once more banish you to your cold, cold prisoooooon

well, he's not ugly, but it's not like i've been hiding him or something!

i just don't often think about his looks, his books, yes, his films, yes, his speaking voice, yes...but not his looks!

Smaug, what were the situations where you met Gaiman? I'd be lucky if I ever did, I live in a small city and the closes is Montreal, I doubt he'd go there. :P

He did a book signing at the nearby town.

the first time was for...american gods i think - i suspect the thread is still there somewhere, one of my earlier posts.

the second was for...probably anansi boys and as said, i was busy so couldn't get the day off work so took a long lunch (the signing was a 35 minute train ride away) and ran out of time before he got there - so i left his birthday card with boardie messages and the red balloon with the shop workers to give to him.

i should have just taken the afternoon off as i was distracted as hell all afternoon *laughs*

M, looking at the avatars on the board and noticing DM's new Dr. Who av:

Papa, is that one of the Jonas Brothers?

As far as I know she has no real idea what the Jona Brothers are or look like, other than a couple of the girls in her class talking about them, but it's fascinating what was on her brain and that The Good Doctor avatar made her think of it.

(Sorry for the cross post with the Board Kids thread, but not sure how many pop in there)

...I wonder how many newbies we've scared away after our welcoming ritual?

“Chives?”
“Yes, m’lud?”
“Is that Ms Ephemera hovering over the croquet lawn?”
“Indeed m’lud. She’s marshalled all the haggle-dans. Missy-twigs and vale-nymphs from Claypole Woods. Apparently she intends to tear this house down and dance on the ruins.”
“Well, Chives, you’d better start the car, what? And pack my tennis things too”

Pssshhh.

Wrong Red Balloon. In the other, the recipient is male, not female. Tsk. Never trust Urban Dictionary.
