Tell me what you see...

Things that have made me smile, and also get a little teary this week. I swear to god , I never used to be so susceptible to things. I didn't cry at Bambi or Titanic or The Lion King... But now I find myself getting all misty eyed over Happy Things. Is it age?!
 
I'm using my Moulin Rouge! icon because I love that movie, but the ending always makes me cry buckets...

This - Just, this. Because it's an eloquent and measured response to prejudice. Because it says so much about so many things, because it's true, marriage is family, and that goes deeper than anything.

Coming down to our kitchen each morning to see the poster of Grant Park and the newspaper cover from the day after the elections. It is the Guadian, it's red and in the centre it just says "Wow!"

My bf (who I am LJ naming Nat), on the phone from Australia, being quiet so I could listen to the sound of the sea.

Stealing Harry by Sam_Storyteller/Copperbadge. I was directed to him for Dr Who stuff and found this amazing Remus/Sirius AU. I am so in love with it. *takes a deep breath* it may nearly be as good as SBP. I am not kidding. Tis here - http://sam-storyteller.livejournal.com/2005/07/07/

Children In Need. Once a year in Britain we have a huge fundraiser for children's charities, hospices etc. People do sponsered things and there are special products and then on the Frieday night there is an al night program on the BBC. And this year they raised 20 million pounds on the night. We're pretty much officiallly in a recession over here, and people sill managed to give £20,000,000. It makes me feel better about the world.


And now! A meme!

I can't even remember where I saw this now. I suppose the best way of putting it would be - what do you guys think of, when you think of me?
What do you think I look like, or who?
If you tell me, I will tell you what I think of when I see your name.

And of you are very good I might post a picture of what I actually look like!

I think this is intriguing because I know you all but have no idea what most of you look like. And it would be interesting to know what impression you have of me.

The cover of the Guardian that day was amazing. And it was especially amazing because when Bush got re-elected, the front page had been all in black and in the centre was written 'Oh God'.

I love that essay on 'What Marriage Is', it's beautiful. Oooh, and a link to that fanfic plz?

As to what I think you look like... I imagine you pale and slim and blonde with a very small face, but very tall. Kind of willowy. How close am I?

Now, what do you think I look like?

Yeah. I love the Guardian and its complete bias!

Damn, I should put a link it. http://sam-storyteller.livejournal.com/2005/07/07/ . There is some pretty amazing other stuff too. And it's written by a guy!

Willowy! I adore you for that. I'm am pretty tall actually.

Um, I think tall too. Dark hair and pale skin and blue eyes. I think this is because your name sounds elvish so I imagine you a bit like Liv Tyler. Close?

It's kinda odd isn't it.

Thanks! I've only ever found a couple of male FF writers... They tend to be pretty good though (wow, a sweeping generalisation there).

Unfortunately, I do not resemble an elf - I'm short and kind of round with dyed red hair. I'm am pale though!
