I'm sick of being sick.

Thanks for all the well wishes, guys. I really wanted to feel better, since you all so nicely demanded/encouraged it, but I'm not quite there. Maybe tomorrow. I'm rooting for being able to taste food again.
So it's like, midnight now, and I should be going to bed, only I didn't get out of bed today until 7pm. Partly it's because I'm still extremely sick (I've never had anything last this long before, and it's so freaking annoying), partly it's because it never got very bright today (it is, however, a winter wonderland outside), and partly it's because I didn't get a very restful sleep with all the hacking and such.
Okay, I'm done whining about how ill I am. Now I am going to whine about how I'm so behind on everything, including snippets of FY that Pud has posted, Steph's debfic, and God knows what else. Has anyone written any smut that I've missed? I'm in the mood for smut. The muse has actually hit me w/ a v. smutty premise, but there's no way I can write in this condition, and even if I could write, I have plenty of other things I should be working on instead. You never appreciate the wonderfulness of not being sick until you're sick, isn't that right?
Christmas gets less and less Christmasy every year, if you know what I mean. Pretty soon I'll be like, "Oh. It was Christmas yesterday, wasn't it?" Is it just becoming an adult that does it, or is this just a sad, sad commentary about me?
This year's Best Christmas Prezzie prize goes to Ropo, because she not only gave me all things that I really wanted, but also overcame my own total lameness to do it. Thanks d00d!! The Nice Try award goes to Jade, who wrapped up things I had already paid for and tried to pass them off as Christmas gifts. (The baster, however, rocks.) You've really got to admire that kind of spunk.

Date: 2004-01-07 03:51 pm (UTC)I think I missed that particular post by Angie, but I liked a lot of what she had to say when she was attempting to get out. <g> Actually, it's not so much the stick-poking that keeps me from leaving, as I would never try to put out a product that I wasn't interested in anymore, but that I hate leaving things unfinished, especially when they're as finished in my head as TSA and IYOK both are. When I "left" the XF fandom (never officially), I was in the midst of co-authoring a novel that I still think about from time to time. I have next to zero interest in XF fandom now (other than all the great people I met), but I still get wibbly about the fact that I have something unfinished out there. So I suppose it's not unheard of for me to abandon ship ... but I don't see that happening w/ HP any time soon. The thing with XF was that when the show ended, it pretty much ended my interest as well (which had been waning, anyway). But HP isn't episodic television; it's already all just in my head, and canon only comes out every few years to "ruin" and change fanon, so ... it's different.
Ohmygod at how much I'm rambling. Please forgive me. I blame the flu.
Tell me you've read the B/S stories by RivkaT and MustangSally that I've mentioned once before. So v. good, and has great smut, too.

Hmmm. I do wonder how much interest people will have in the fandom when all seven books are done and the canon is "closed"--I suspect it will be probably less than now.
