so, new veronica mars. still completely enchanted with it! i always feel like i should have a symbolic cigarette or something after an episode.
and on a completely different subject, my cousin took one of those send-it-in aptitude tests for a "school" (correspondence courses, natch) of writing for wannabe children's book writers. i was ignoring this with no comment but now she's been accepted--they loved her short story! and she's considering enrolling in these courses which cost money. it's hard for me to imagine how this could
not be a scam, or how anyone could go for it in the first place. what do you say, though, when someone seems to be really dumb? i can never think of any way to mention it at all because it seems like the mere fact of pointing out the lapse is embarrassing.
also, i may have finished a certain ficlet involving porn about certain key real people from a certain reality show *cough
icon*. i'd never post such a thing unlocked, of course, because, as you probably don't know, there was a slash outing and there's a certain mess which a google will turn up mention of from several websites. this is the only time i've ever written something
not for public consumption via my website, even counting
when i slashed tim roth and gary oldman's kids. so i feel kind of disturbed about that, because i don't want people to have to be friended at my journal to read my fic (even when nobody could possibly
want to read it who isn't
already friended! yes, even then!).
