I'm outside

[threeplusfire]

Finally realized that the phone cord is long enough that I can sit on the balcony with the laptop and smoke, turn the stereo up and open the glass doors onto the sky. There are more clouds now and it's turning grey and dark. Sun's going down out there.

Waiting for my cookies to cool, listening to the radio. Reading fanfic recommended by Reive. Who likes the same kind of stories I do, between our recommendations.

Sitting here, typing with one hand and smoke curling around my fingers, lost in dreamland.

Good evening. Getting by fairly well this evening. Baking some cookies, which I haven't done in ages. How are you tonight?

[fauxfille.livejournal.com]

Yum, cookies! I'm staying home tonight to read, write and listen to music. A very, very chilly evening in my part of the world. I might as well live in an igloo. :)

Take care and enjoy your cookies!

It's ASTOUNDINGLY good.
Not sure why I clicked on it, it's an absurd pairing to me, but it's smart as shit.

Sounds like a lovely evening, Amanda. :)

It is rather. Except that George keeps driving me insane. :P

I'm glad I have a friend with good taste in these things

[tsarina.livejournal.com]

Indeed. If George weren't throwing pillows at me, my reply would be more thoughtful. But yes, I agree.

I actually think I'll have a long tirade about this in my journal later, something in it's struck a very deep chord with my own life -- two things really, and I'm rattled, but in a good, thinking way.

Ahh, fantastic. I think I will be up all night.

It's struck me too, in a place I haven't thought about in quite some time. Just kind of strange. I will have to think about it more.

I wish I could understand fanfic. Maybe it's because I've seen someone's entire life be consumed by boyband slash?

When I was younger, I had no idea other people did this kind of thing. For me, it was always very private. A kind of dreamland to retreat to when I was tired of dealing with everything else. In a way, oddly comforting in the way reading has almost always been for me.

Retreating has never been the best way to deal with anything, but sometimes it makes more sense.
