you need to tell your mother that you have to indulge in the task of Living Fully
Don't forget that in my mother's vocabulary, "indulge" is a Very Bad Word. Unless it comes to food, that is - indulging in food is almost a family duty, lol. It is as if gluttony was the only pleasure/sin that can be excused... I wonder what a shrink would say about that.:D *ponders*
WOTTTT???? *sqreeches* I haz a Swedish rival..*gulps*
OMG LOL!!! You know what MY first reaction was?... Hmmm, welll, maybe I shouldn't tell Marianne - what if the both of them hit it off right away and start chatting in Swedish and all that and I won't be needed anymore!... :D
Seriously though, I should probably mention that my first fascination with a Swedish fanfic writer happened a few years ago. If you've been going through my old LJ entries, you've probably seen the name Romi (or Romika) appear pretty often. Well... she's Swedish, too. And she used to be very prolific in the A/L - V/O fandom (as far as I know though, most of her fiction has been since removed from the net). Her writing resonated with me emotionally in an incredible way, and we became pretty close through my comments to her various fics over the years. We even met in person once, when she visited Chicago for work-related reasons in 2006. And I almost fell in love with her - or rather, I most likely would have, if I had the chance to see her again. But, luckily for me, this did not happen. Luckily, because Romi is happily married and just recently became the mother of triplets.:) So, as you can imagine, she doesn't post much anymore. But I am still a part of the relatively small circle of former fans/friends she keeps updated on her family life when time allows.
So, when I first met you, I was all like OMG another awesome Swedish woman, should I run before I get burned or something???... LOL.
Well... anyway. Just thought this background info might explain things better.;)
This day we write! *attaches note with this on computer and then prays*
*giggles* Babe, it's not so much about the writing, really. I mean, your writing is TEH AWESOME, but I think we have an amazing connection beyond that, which I do not really have with any other of my favorite writers at the moment. There are plenty of awesome people on LJ, but most of them do not have the time or desire to pay half as much attention to me as you do these days.:) So I greatly appreciate you "being there" for me when you can, and I am happy to do the same for you. It's super if you still find the time to write amazing stuff - but I won't value you any less if you don't. You're fascinating even when you blabber about silly stuff in a purely stream-of-consciousness way.;P
