Thank you!

Am tired. Got too little sleep, no dinner, and woke up nauseated. Feel like death warmed over. Urg. Whine, whine. Life has been crappy lately, and I fear that blame rests solely on me. So that's why I have to take the time now to say thank you to all you great people out there, whether you are on my friends list or not. Thank you for your feedback, your conversation (especially the silly, inconsequential stuff), your laughter, your trivia, your links, your pictures, your stories, your drama, your comedy, your advice, your cheer, your know-it-allness, your loyalty, your bravery, your Gryffindor pride, your Slytherin wit, your ability to band together and be there for your friends. And thank you, thank you, for your support. I take these things for granted most of the time, and sometimes life kicks you in the pants and makes you appreciate them. Everyone, you have my most heartfelt gratitude. Thank you for brightening my days.

In other news: My DVD burner has arrived. I shall pick it up from UPS during lunch time. This means that I can finally burn the Lea Salonga CDs for angiej that she has been waiting so patiently for. Things are going swimmingly for her, and I am so. freaking. glad. Can't think of a more deserving person.

Also, corianderstem, the DMV loves me more than you. Hahahahahaha. They sent me a driver's license renewal reminder, and I can renew through mail! But it's only for a year, and I suspect you didn't get one because you'd moved.

Want to end this entry leaving you with a smile, so am going to share something my brother shared w/ me recently. A quote, and his commentary:

"My vision is to make the most diverse state on earth, and we have people from every planet on the earth in this state. We have the sons and daughters of every, of people from every planet, of every country on earth." -- CA Governor Gray Davis

There you have it, folks. Apparently with the signing of the new Driver's License laws, our governor was extending an olive branch to the Galactic Empire, whose trade relations with California have been somewhat icy since the last incident involving the Death Star project. In June of 2001, a California B-class merchant cruiser accidentally dropped its cargo into the third Death Star's now-infamous self-destruct hole, causing it to implode. The Empire demanded that California make reparations for the error, but state officials denied responsibility, saying that Imperial engineers were negligent in designing yet another Death Star that had such a silly weakness.

You're very welcome *hugs* You know I love you! :)

And I can't tell you how much I appreciate all your kind words about my writing.

If you want a sneak preview of what I got for TW4 - I'll send it to you.

Ooooh, sneak me!

The deed is done.

Dadgummit, I guess that's what happens when you move twice from your address that's actually on your license. I'm waiting for my new one to come in the mail. The picture is awful. I weep.

Uh... hi. Totally random here, but I'd like to join the dg_discussion group... rainpuddle13 recommended it to me... Thanks.

I can never *ever* see that Gray Davis quote enough. :-)

*doubles over with laughter*

Hahaha, that's why I'm a political science student, politicians amuse me. The sad thing is if you hadn't put in the emphasis, it would have probably taken me a few minutes.

*hugs you tight*

That quote at the end had me laughing for at least ten minutes. I'm going to save it to my memories so every time I need a laugh, I've got one.

I would just like to say, I'm a great fan of you and your sister's work. I really can't stand but ask- Are you a Filipino in any way?


I am.


And my friends, who are fans of your excellent stories too, have been wondering about it too. Especially after Jade's creating Ezra Malfoy.


The mentioning of Lea Salonga just did me in. Are you? Well, anyway, hope you keep enjoying your writing and have a wonderful wonderful week!


D/G is forever. ^_^

Hi! Thank you for your kind words. Believe it or not, we have been asked this question before, by violetjersey -- the answer is no, neither of us is Filipino. :D However, I am a huge fan of Lea Salonga, whose voice I would kill to have.
