(no subject)

I wrote out a whole screed on the subject of whether writers should support other writers or not, and how it feels when that doesn't happen, and all sorts, with analogies to my amateur theatre activities etc. And then I thought, nah, can't be arsed. All communities are the same, with some people who make it work and other people who cherrypick, some who add squeak and some who add grease.

My Boy got his first uni offer in today, from his first choice - yay! He only has to get, ahem, AAB in his A-Levels. Well, it's doable...

OMG, Trickyfish Day is *VERY SOON*. Pen meeps, having done *nothing*

I have joined a LIMS challenge, and it is amazing how different the general icon style within popslash is from that pertaining in the SGA community, where there seems to be much more 'fashionable' stuff, including the IMO rather tiresome scratchy textures, so that instead of achieving a lovely clear, lucid image, the aim is apparently to grunge it up and make the subject indecipherable. Well. I've survived two rounds so far.

Shuffle!

I've been procrastinating about Something For TrickyFish Day, and listening to what's on my iTunes - which, to be fair, is not precisely a mirror of my own musical tastes, but is largely that subsection which I put onto the iPod in the hope that my Dad would be able to listen to it.

So here's that 'first line of random songs' meme, which should give a bit more joy to the, hmm, more *senior* members of my flist than most of the random songs memes give to me! Classic pops, mostly. Have at it.

I'll not screen comments, though.
