kaiserkuchenWell, by now my initial euphoria has kinda faded away to a more manageable buzz of happy, I figure I'd post quickly before wrapping up a few things and going to bed. Speaking of which: KAT YOU BRAINMELDED ME OR SOMETHING why have I found myself sleeping at what you described as your hours? I thought I had a good thing with 3AM going waaagh *snif*-- ;D
OH WAIT that was because I spent most of last night/early morning reading THIS FIC: "Finding Himself". 800 fucking pages of beautiful, brilliant writing. AU-- a la "what if Cedric survived the events of Book 4?". He's not unscathed, not by far... but more would be spoilering ;D
And saying that this will SUCK YOU IN LIKE NO TOMORROW is not an exaggeration(SET ASIDE AT LEAST A DAY TO READ I say), and it actually fleshes the Hufflepuff House and characters and Cedric out and heck, they are interesting. The actual plot of this novel-length romp is gripping and it reads like the HP books, but with more interesting and elevated bits added in(the details about the magic!) and aah, the Cedric and Hermione pairing is fun to read and plausible, especially how they come together at first, deal with each other ...the ups and downs and the characters actual faults are also handled and akjlfjg. I am all a-flutter ♥ (the chapters also feature some quite cute manips of some movie stills and shots of the actors. It actually adds a lovely touch)
SO: RUN, DON'T WALK TO READ THIS I SAY. A+++++++ EXCELLENT
and I totally left a rambly review for the author haaah since I did spend at least about 10 hours reading that aaaah sogood ♥ ♥
And if that was the fandom yay, the other happiness factors came from the meet-up at the Cafe Central today and my later conversation with Ma. Eating those desserts and chatting with Carmen, Karim and Karim's friend Anna was just plain FUN. It was just laid back and the conversation flowed groovy-ly and at times we all were discussing a topic or Carmen and Anna were talking while Karim and I debated the finer points of "Dawn of the Dead" and "Land of the Dead" and later drew continents on table napkins and just-- ahh. I like this, just talking with people I get along with ...and the fact that I can later go home to my cozy dorm room and just chill. Sure, I have to do my own cooking, dishes and laundry, but in contrast to when I was in Krimml (all pros of that aside) I actually prefer this if it means that I get to decide when to wake up, or what to do, all at my own pace instead. Like, do I want to stay awake reading fic until the sun actually starts to rise? Sure, if I can deal with how much like crap I will feel the next day etc etc ...Who knew that the simplest freedoms could be the sweetest?
Just talking to Ma today was also just lovely. Planning for the trip to Bangkok, just venting about relatives or simply talking. Life is so good for her right now, and by proxy for me too and I am just so happy and grateful for her that it's all working out so wonderfully. Ahh ♥
(And I am also firmly resolved to start thinking about uni sometime tomorrow. But now? I bask :D)
