"And He'll Do All His Dancing On You..."

[psalm_onethirtyone]

Dear Lloyd Alexander:

Westmark has officially taken over my life.

I shall attempt to make an example or two:

Book Review: Harry Potter really awesome just like Lloyd Alexander but cooler remember Prydain? this even better &c &c &c
Soujin: But Westmark is better than Prydain!
Book Review: That's totally irrelevant, hon.
Soujin: But--but--Westmark--!

Newspaper: "Conrad's farmstead fits all-year theme &c insert article here..."
Soujin: O. M. G. Duke Conrad's estate in my newspaper?!
Reality Check: Hellooooo, dearie.
Soujin: Oh, wait.
Soujin: *finishes article*
Soujin: Ha ha. Um. That never happened. Ha ha. Oh, God, I lose....

That was all extremely embarrassing.

Also, I speak out loud to the people in those books while I am reading the books, demmit.

I need to sue you for my sanity and/or my life back--yet, somehow, I am so mad in love with your people and said books that I would rather fangirl you. Waugh.

Also I am writing Stock/Jellinek. Kill me now.

Love,
Soujin

I'm thinking I need to read this. Damn you. :o

Please do. They're a lot more mature than a lot of his other books, and just very, very good. As Kali once put it, they're also essentially 'Les Mis on a diet', which means everything about LM, by the way. Including Mix 'n' match slash, barricades, adorable street urchins, unrealised love, and--well, no God, which is sort of an essential part of LM, but.

*is getting rambly and incoherent, alas*

Anyway. Tres good. Read them, yes. Ha.

*finds it vaguely appropriate that she stole Zara's journal for this, don't mind her*

Newspaper: Blah blah blah Enjolras-cakes
Me: OMG! Enjolras! Les Mis in my newspaper!
Enjolras: *is doctor in Oslo*

In my defence, I was going to see Les Mis that night.

It's so much fun when the written news media messes with one's mind.

At least your confusing media actually had the name of the character! When I was at Wellesley a few weeks ago, there was a building called Pomeroy, and I saw it and thought it said Pomercy. My train of thought was: "Pomercy=Pontmercy=LES MIS!" That was my train of thought. Thank you.

*giggles* Man, we're all getting sucked in by our respective fandoms, aren't we? It makes the world so much more interesting, though. ^_~
