floatingleafFirst of all, Happy St.Patrick's Day to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gairid, miladyhawke and anyone else on my flist who might possibly admit to an Irish heritage.:)
Second of all, I am a happy bunny, becauseakashaelfwitch gave me three lovely keychain trinkets as a belated birthday gift. She must have been reading my mind, because I sort of hated my old keychain and was thinking about geting a new one... plus, she chose some of my favorite pics to grace the little plastic squares: one of a deliciously moody and scruffy Aragorn, one of Legolas during the coronation scene, and one classy black&white image of Viggo. Wow. I didn't even know this kind of stuff was available to order online... lol. Shows how little experience I have with online shopping. Which is probably good for my wallet... *snort*
Third of all, I feel like I need another life to keep up with all the fiction that gets posted daily on my flist or sent to my inbox from the Yahoo groups I belong to. I would honestly love to read it all - or at least about 70% of it - but there is simply no way I can do that, while simultaneously trying to actually find time for anything else. It is beyond me. So I keep getting more and more behind, which is incredibly frustrating. I know I can save the fics and read them later, they won't go anywhere etc. - but I'm afraid that if I skip something with the intention to get back to it later, it will simply never happen. Because there is new stuff posted every day, and I lose track of the stories with long time periods between chapters... Besides, if I were to read non-chronologically, I would be completely at a loss where to start.;) Of course I do have my favorite authors... but most of them seem to be quite prolific, and even if I chose to read only "the best", I would still be in trouble.:) So yeah. Forget about me giving systematic feedback, or actually trying to write something of my own. NO TIME. If additional 12 hours were added to each day, I just might manage (or not - because then probably more stuff would get posted too ;). As it is, I'm getting more and more picky about who and what I read - just because I am mortal. I honestly don't know how some people manage to read, write, work AND have a social/family life at the same time. It will forever remain a mystery to me... *deep sigh*

Btw, I will probably (if everything works out) have another interview for such an assignment next week.
*hugs you back*
