So, I didn't tell you about my Sunday, huh? Not that I really talk about what I do IRL, mind, but it's directly associated with LJ, so my Sunday - was a blast *beams*

Why? Because I met crazybutsound before she left Paris and I had a great time with her *bounces* I mean, three hours at Starbucks + caramel macchiato after caramel macchiato + white chocolate cookie + cool and enthusiastic French slasher + slash talks all around + queer talks all over the place as well = a brilliant and fun afternoon *g* To add to the beauty of it, she gave me the book I've been coveting for months, and thanks again for that because I know the drinks didn't equal the price of the book, so you're a doll.

I can't get anough of meeting people from my flist - well, maybe because so far I never was disappointed, always quite the opposite *g*

And now - and because I needed a little Lost reference - I'm quite proud to say that I pimped the show to Anne - the girl I go to class and spend my time chatting with. I didn't even need to make any effort. I mean, I talked to her about the show last week or so again and today she was the one who asked me "what my guys lost on the island were up to" - not even kidding lol If it wasn't an overture, I don't know what it was! So I offered to send her the file, et voilà *g* Maybe one more Frenchie hit by the Lost virus, we'll see *eg*

ETA: Eeeek katikat? I received the CDs! *bouncebounce* Kyou Kara Maou is now mine! Thanks, Kati *kisses*

you met crazybutsound?? how cool! *g*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I did! Isn't that just too cool? Except for FH, I met pretty much every member of the Slash French Posse - well, ours I mean lol

Mehappy *g*

[french-hobbit.livejournal.com]

Yay for French slasher meeting!

And congrats for making a new follower!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

That was definitely great *g* So right now, you're the only member of the FSP I haven't met so far.

And let's not cry victory too soon, but at least she's definitely interested *g* Thing is, she doesn't seem that comfortable with French so it may put her off a bit. We'll see *g*

[french-hobbit.livejournal.com]

So right now, you're the only member of the FSP I haven't met so far.
You're our cornerstone, sorta. And we'll meet too, even if i'm a bit stressed about that - the more i'm beginning to know the FSP in LJ, the more i'm afraid of fucking up when we'll meet for real...

[castalie.livejournal.com]

You're not, like, stressing over a potential meeting months before we even plan something concrete, right? *hugs you*

And it'll be a blast - with no awkward silences nor anything awkwardey! I'm so not worried *g*

[french-hobbit.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'm not stressed then. Just a bit worried, that's all. *hugs you too*

[greedy_dancer]

hey, don't fret! everything will go just fine! more than fine! *g*

*wants hugs too*

[french-hobbit.livejournal.com]

I don't know if you remember asking for them, but: *hugshugshugs*

[greedy_dancer]

hugs are never too late! *g*
(c comme le baton de berger, y'a pas d'heure pour en manger! lol)

[french-hobbit.livejournal.com]

Y a du bâton de berger à Sydney, ou tu es en manque de références françaises? ;)

[crazybutsound]

<3 It was fantastic and I did have the best time ever. Actually didn't see the time fly and was at one point worried I might just miss my train entirely, lol. And really, Starbucks, great company, fun discussion about everything and anything... it topped off my weekend beautifully. :-) And absolutely no worries about the book, it was my pleasure. After all, you got me hooked on it and whatever he'll be writing from now on, too, so... ;-) Hopefully, we'll be doing this again some time!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Those three hours sure flew - it's always quite impressive. I'm always nervous about it at first like, what if we don't have anything to say to each other, what if there're awkward silences and whatnot... after all, things can be pretty different from LJ to RL --you would know-- and like we said, we haven't been on each other's flists for long, but man it was great *g*

We'll definitely be doing this again! I want more now lol

Btw, what about China? Well I'm spelling it like this but I don't know if that's correct, the Methos/Mulder fic you talked to me about? Also, what about more recs for Emily Brunson's stories? Or the URL to her site or something? I quite liked what I read so far *eg*

[crazybutsound]

Oh, I haven't forgotten about all your recs, and the story I read on the train yesterday is definitely another one I'm going to give you a link to. It's still Emily Brunson and it's quiet fantastic, and yet another rape story. *shakes head* I seem to have finally fallen into that, really, lol. She writes so well, though.

And you know, I'm always a bit nervous about meeting people from lj, sure, but not that much... I've met so many people from the online life, sorta, that it just... it feels rather natural to me, now. Sure, there's no telling whether you'll get along or not, but even if it doesn't make for a new strong friendship, it's always an interesting moment. And I'm crazy anyway as I am known for having invited people I'd never met to stay with me for like four days at a time, now how's that for taking a risk? Because it's one thing to meet someone in a café, but it's another to just say "oh, sure, come stay with me for the weekend", lol. So far, I haven't really been all that disappointed... well, once, but that's a bit different.

Anyway, recs!

China, which you'll have to tell me about once you've read it. I'm curious to know what you think of it. :-)

Emily Brunson's site is here: Emland, and I just noticed she's apparently written Sentinel fic as well. :-) I haven't read everything she's written so far, but I highly recommend Hell a

[crazybutsound]

Ack! Stupid keyboard!

So, where was I? Oh, yeah. Emily's fic. In CSI fic, I recommend you read Hell, which is the evil twin story to one of other ones called Canada. Both are great, mind you, and if you're going to read both, you might want to read Canada first. But Hell takes it even further and is really the most gripping of the two. :-)

Enjoy!

Re Emily's fics? I'm on it, girl, I'm on it [/Charlie] Greaaaaaaat archive, thanks *g*

Started scanning the stories, beginning with Hell, and you know there's something seriously fucked up with you when you read the kind of things that happened in that story and think 'Really cool, but sorta tame'. Then again, when you have read stuff like The Adversary or Metamorphosis (both XF), pretty much everything will be sorta tame to you lol

But I'm enjoying her stories a lot and I think I'm going to read all her CSI stories which is like amusing me to no end. The Mouse is reading CSI - Grissom/Nick... this is a fandom I never thought I'd get enough interest to try more than one story. Life is so funny lol

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I can't say I'm used to it per se. I met five persons involved with LJ --babycakesin not included since she's my best friend and comes from RL first-- and maybe around ten girls from when I was involved in a lesbian chat on Wanadoo. That's pretty much all. So even though it wasn't a first time, nor a second or anything, I can't say I'm always comfortable with the idea that I'm going to meet someone I never met in the flesh and who basically is a stranger to me. I'm definitely excited but it sure makes me nervous beforehand... which is part of the game, I guess *g*

And you're a crazy girl! lol But that's really cool - as long as you don't get bad surprises *g*

[katikat.livejournal.com]

I´m happy they are there. Wow, that was rather quick. Hopefully, everything will work. If not, then download RealOne and try to play it through this programm. It plays almost everything - if the file itself isn´t corrupted that is :)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I have several media players including RealOne so it's not a problem *g*
