A few of my favourite things...

[mijan]

So many people presume to know you, but do they really?

Here are a few of my all-time favourite things.  Things I'm obsessed with, really.  Really cool things.

Socks.  Coffee/tea mugs.  Coffee.  Tea.  Gourmet coffee, ground fresh.  More tea... herbal, green, white, chai... mmm... tea.  More socks.  Things made out of leather.  Things made out of wax.  Warm, woolen socks.  Latex.  Knives, swords, and just about anything with a sharp edge.  Argyle socks.  Flannel things.  Boot-cut jeans.  BOOTS!  Boot socks.  Buttons.  Stickers.  Stones.  Feathers.  Balls and bats. Baseball caps. Softball gloves.  Red Sox.  Red socks.  Green socks.  Tie-dye socks.  Oversized sweaters.  Tessie (the Gryffindor-mobile).  Really nice pens.  Parchment.  Leather-bound journals.  Leather-bound bodies.  Four-leaf clovers.  Softball socks.  Anything fuzzy.  Horses.  Rats.  Snakes.  Dogs.  Eyebrow piercings.  Tattoos.  And did I mention socks?

So, that's me!  And now you should all know that when I tell people I want socks for Christmas, I'm NOT kidding!

Yay for socks!!! I got a new pair of socks the other day, they're thigh-high toe socks with red, green and purple stripes and silver sparkles, I was going to post it on your list to all the dedicated members of the 'slashers sock society' but then decided it was a little OT and really kind of sad, lol

Ooh! We really ought to start a slashers' sock society! You should see the pair I bought last week. They're green and white, and have laces up the front. I love them. I'm so silly.

LOL, you remind me of my friend who likes coloured socks. And when I said like, I meant LIKE. She wants those different-coloured socks... she can't go home after shopping without buying coloured socks. :)

Another friend is a caffeine addict. She's the one who made me start drinking coffee.

*drools* God I'd kill for a cup of coffee at the moment. But... it's snowing and there's no milk left...

Yay for socks!! Mine are knee length and black and white stripes. He he.

Milk? In coffee? NEVER! Half&half, or cream, always. And oooh! Striped socks! *wants*

[morganmuffle]

Leather bound journals sounds good, as do nice pens. My list would probably mostly go Tea, Tea and then some more tea :)

Socks are good too. I have pretty stripy loooooong socks but can't wear them because it's TOO COLD not to wear tight sif you venture out in a skirt (which is insanity anyway)

[ladylilypotter.livejournal.com]

Lol, we haven't got milk, there's no chance of getting cream. Have had it occasionally, and I agree it IS better.

Where are you, approximately, if you don't mind me asking? Because it's snowing here too.

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Mmm... I have a huge collection of teas, ranging from the mundane to the exotic. Come join me for a cup! :D

Sorry for the post from a random stranger... I read your fic today and I don't know whether to hug or hurt the person who rec'ed it for me. It's fantastic, but I seem to have stumbled in upon the WORST CLIFFHANGER OF THE WHOLE DARN THING! However, your recently posted drawing makes me feel slightly better (even if I am certain it's merely a tease). I would post a proper review, but this doesn't seem to be the place for squee filled fan-girl ramblings. (?)

Okay, that aside, I like your little list of favourite things. In an effort to not be such a random stranger anymore, here's what we've in common: I like leather things, teas, parchments (or any fancy paper, really), dogs, oversized sweaters, nifty ink pens (and pencils), argyle (anything really), boots (especially big black boots), boot-cut jeans, furry things, big woolly socks.

To my list, I'd add: v. good turkey club sandwiches, large feather pillows, The Cleveland Browns, swimming pools (especially at night), summer nights and shiney things.

Ugh! Re-reading it, it sounds a bit like a bad personal ad. Anyway - nice to meet you! *waves hello*

Don't worry about random posts... how else would we ever meet anyone new, right? :) I'm quite friendly, really.

Aaah, yes, the cliff-hanger. I'd say I'm sorry about that, but seeing as I'm just slightly sadistic, I'm not *too* sorry. Especially because the next chapter should be posted quite soon. It's currently in the capable hands of my wonderful beta reader. And is that picture just a tease? Well... it's a real picture of a real scene in the fic, and I can't tell you the context, because that would spoil the surprise! However, I DO promise you that there will be some very intimate stuff in the next chapter.

In fact... here's a real teaser... a cut from the next chapter:

He was standing in his boxer shorts, feeling both very exposed, yet very safe. Complete trust, complete confidence.

And then he was reaching for Draco’s belt. He glanced up briefly, and Draco nodded.

More to come soon! :D

OMG! Now I will squee! YAYAY! Harry & Malfoy Sr. were right - it's so much better when we've earned it.

I've had a bad thought. Perhaps my mind is in the gutter and this isn't what I think it's all about... *crosses fingers*

[mijan.livejournal.com]

It's GOOD to have your mind in the gutter! I expect that from my darling H/D shippers. Now... whether or not it's what you think... you have to wait to find out. :)

Yay for Tessie the Gryffindor mobile and socks!! I just bought a pair of multi colored striped knee socks and slytherin green knee socks. They rock.

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Ooh! I'm wearing a pair of green knee socks right now! SQUEE! Socks! LOL

The good ol' east of England. Where are you?

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Eastern side of NEW England. :D

I was just commenting to ask about your stoyr Eclips will it be updated? And will you only update it on Snoogle? Sorry to bother...

-Xav

[mijan.livejournal.com]

Not a bother at all! The next chapter of Eclipse is currently at the beta reader, but it IS complete. I always update on both Schnoogle and FF.net, but because the uploading systems are different, I never know which one will be available first. I prefer people to read on Schnoogle, though. It's just a better site.

If you want up-to-the-minute information, the best thing to do is to join my Yahoo group:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Beyond_the_Eclipse/
That's where I post artwork, and give early-warning update notifications. And don't worry about bothering me... it's never a bother to talk to a reader! :)
