I Need Some Joy

I have had a terrible past 24 hours, with suckiness predicted for the foreseeable future. Please tell me something, fannish or otherwise, that makes you happy.


I'll go first: the moment in my icon, whether in bookverse or movieverse. I have always loved that defiance against the dark and overwhelming odds.

Hugs... I just had a kitten wrapping her tail around the corner of my laptop as I typed...

I suppose I have cause for celebration in that I finally pwnded the cricket that's been sharing my apartment.

No, really, I am considering the genius of whoever brought the world white plastic erasers and chocolate caramel bars and laptop computers and stripey stockings. Consider my delight at finding a shop that sells painting canvas wide enough to cover the stretcher frames my dad built me. Consider if you will the mere existence of fandom, in which I get to meet fascinating people and read amusing fic.

:D

Abbott and Costello (http://www.baseball-almanac.com/humor4.shtml) talking about who is on first. Knowing that I have in my bookmarks and can always go read it makes me squee with joy for having a reliable source of amusement.

Also, *points up*, this icon. Because they're adorable.

That is a very gross joke.

*laughs and laughs and laughs*

*pinches all their cheeks*
*beams at you*

We belong to a subculture in which joy is a thing we share.

This is as wonderful as it is true.

*licks your icon*

Very, very true. *thinks of hobbits, and smiles*

[identity profile] rubynye.livejournal.com 2006-09-07 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
*blush* Thank you. :)

I wonder what a bull-leaper would look like, drawn by you?

These are all really nifty! (Where in India are your grandparents from?) And your story *deserved* all that praise. It was distinctly awesome-enabled. :)

Mmmm, hobbits. And I love that particular manip. Thank you, sweetie!

Canning is at the top of my list of food-related skills to acquire. I'd love to can with you one day.

Robins! Yay, Robins! Yay, Steph!

*polishes some stories up to being worthy of the Robins*
*pauses to hug you*

[identity profile] rubynye.livejournal.com 2006-09-07 02:57 pm (UTC)(link)
That is *wonderful* news! Oh, wow. Thank you for sharing it with me!

Re: *beam* Thank you all, a lot

*raspberries gently*

A lovely wish *and* Halbarad Joaquin. You're too good to me. :)

[identity profile] rubynye.livejournal.com 2006-09-07 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
*blush* *beam* Thank you. :) *hugs you*

[identity profile] rubynye.livejournal.com 2006-09-07 03:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Halbarad! Eee. *hugs you* I am indeed having a better day, after a rocky start, and I think it's because of all these good vibes. :D

Puppies and Timmy. How shall I be sad?

Books! The awesomeness of piles and piles of books waiting to be read by you, even if they don't know it yet.

I knew I liked you for some very good reasons. :D Every item on your list just made me smile more and more happily.

*beams with joy*

The grin on Speedy's face as she commits acts of vigilante violence.

Robinpiles. Robinpiles make me happy really rather a lot.


WOOT. *grin*

And now I shall envision you playing air guitar, and smile. :D

[identity profile] rubynye.livejournal.com 2006-09-07 03:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, EEEEEEEEE! Thank you for telling me! And what a gorgeous icon. :D

[identity profile] rubynye.livejournal.com 2006-09-07 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, yes. I love the Internet, the way it stitches so much of the world together, like a lacy web of tesseracts (L'Engle-verse tesseracts).

And I love fall, not least because I live in New England. Thank you for reminding me. :D

Quantum brains make me happy. The possibility of holding many, many conflicting realities as simultaneously true pleases me.

Oh, yes, and I am eagerly adopting that term for the concept.

And hugging you back, tightly. :)
