please come to boston for the springtime

[chicafrom3]

I will be in Boston March 20 - March 23. Will anyone else be in the area? Right now the only solid plans we've got are for the concert Saturday night (SHAAAAANE); we're looking at other stuff to do, and planning to do some tourist-y things, but I wouldn't mind meeting up with someone.


There's been some serious fail over at fanficrants recently. Why is that?


Can I be slightly narcissistic for a minute here? I got a positive review today on "In The Mood", and OMG, you have no idea how flattered I am that I'm still getting reviews on that fic almost two years later. I'm really proud of it, and I know how egotistical that sounds, but it's really a big mood-booster.


You know what? Prior to today, I'm fairly sure I hadn't heard Brooks & Dunn's "Boot-Scootin' Boogie" for years (and I gotta say? I didn't miss it). But I've heard it three times today. Why?

On a brighter musical note, today I walked into a store and they were playing Flogging Molly's "Kings Of The Kilburn High", and I had glee.

You're a Flogging Molly fan? Me, too! Sadly, I live far from Boston.

I am! Second only to the Pogues in my heart. They're awesome. ♥

Serious, serious fail. Is it February? Did some deity mark it down as a Stupid Month for lols?

:D Positive reviews are always awesome, especially for older fics and especially for ones you're particularly proud of. (I'm STILL glowing a bit from a compliment on Ten First Times that I got a few days ago.)

I don't know! But it's so bizarre. I mean, I get that ffr is often a magnet for fail anyway, but this has just been above and beyond.

♥ It's an awesome feeling. All positive reviews are, but an old fic that I'd expect the fandom to have forgotten about by now? Amazing. ♥

you are visiting me. EOS.

Deal! ...I miss you.

I'm glad someone else noticed. ^_^ I've been going "Um, no, that's not rant worthy, your POST on the other hand, yeah, I have a thing or two to say about that." ALL WEEKEND.

It seems like people are really desperate to rant about something. Anything. Anything at all. Never mind that it's not at all rantworthy. *flail*

*feels bad*

I'd come and visit you in Boston, except there is this damn thing called an ocean in the way.

*hates oceans*

Awww. :( Oceans are evil, evil things! Except I'm actually quite fond of oceans. But not when they impede travel! :(
