::happy, yet frustrated sigh::

Damn, RL is being a bitch. Got something lovely lovely lovely and can't even comment on it properly, let alone link to it.

But a link is coming. Oh, a link is coming. After I sleep.

::drops dead::

Also, memo to any home schooling parents out there:

Constructing a Roman Aquaduct out of ceral boxes and paper towel rolls (a la Kaleidoscope's Ancient Rome! book) is fun, but it doesn't look very Roman when you put it all together and your aquaduct says "Raisin Crunch" on the side. Because the Romans preferred Quaker Oats. Or so I'm told.

Embarrassing Post of Embarrassing Squeeeeee (which rhymes with Glee!)

So my gift over at weasley_fest was posted yesterday, when I had almost zero access to the interwebs and had to read bits and pieces of it at the public library. ::facepalm::

And I had to read it, too. Once I'd read the first few paragraphs, it wasn't the sort of fic you tell yourself, "Ooh, that's something to look forward to reading tonight, or tomorrow, whenever I get a decent amount of uninterrupted time to savour it."

Anyway, I don't remember exactly what I asked for in my sign-up post, but I suspect my mystery authors got every single request, and a bunch of stuff I'm pretty sure I hadn't asked for, but would've if I'd thought of it.

Go. Read. It's lovely. Angsty and sweet and touching and funny all at once.

And! It's GLEE!! GLEEEEEE!!!

"Well, if your name's Lee, then who were you moaning at in your sleep last night?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You were moaning the name 'Lee' last night." She cocked her head. "Don't tell me you have sex dreams about yourself, because that's just sick."

He looked down again and picked determinedly at his food. "Never heard of narcissism?"
