Lots of completely random stuff.

Thank you to all who offered your congratulations! I'm still in a state of shock over the whole thing. I think the best thing about the contest is a few residual reviews on my other fics, and a renewed sense of urgency in writing my other fics I have stewing.

Have spent the afternoon cleaning, more or less. Cleaning my room and cleaning off my computer. Poor Harry is groaning under the weight of too many e-mails, among other things. I need to do a full backup and then reload his hard drive from scratch.

On that note, my laptop is still out of commission, which means that I won't be online as much as I have lately. Especially on AIM and Y!M, etc. I have no idea how long this will last, but I hope not long. It also means that I can't access much of what I had on Ginny's hard drive, at least until my dad recovers from his surgery sufficiently to copy stuff from the hard drive. So Lou, that means that I can't upload the two other icons I made for you. Shame, that. They're really cool, too. :)

Have been listening to Frederica while I've been cleaning. It's very good, so far. After I'm done I'll need to find more Heyers, as I'll be fresh out. Pity, that.

The mountain of stuff in my room has been reduced to a foothill. Pretty good progress, actually.

My best friend, Jen, has chopped her hair rather dramatically. It used to be past her waist, it's now just above her shoulders. It looks really cute, though. I haven't seen her in short hair for a very long time. She looks rather like an older Bonnie Wright, making her resemblance to Ginny even more dramatic. My own hair has spent a great deal of time at that length, and while I'm still rather enjoying the novelty of having long hair, I'll probably end up cutting it back eventually.

Jen, I, and my sisters went to see Pirates again this weekend. Definitely as good the 7th time as the 1st. I still need to see it with
