moireach asked about Thanksgiving:
On the bright side, and most sides are at least a little shiny these days, Thanksgiving wasn't as traumatizing as I thought that it would be. It was the first major holiday without The 'Rent and it went smoothly. I panicked almost everyday leading up to Wednesday, obsessing over dinner and if I would get the pies right.
Now, let's be reminded that I've been the one to cook Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner for the last five years with minimal supervision. I think it was mostly just the idea that she wasn't there if I needed her. Turns out I was a-okay with the exception of one pie and the candied yams.I left the eggs out of the pie I sent to Pigskin and added to much liquid to the candied yams so they were soupy. Cleatus and I worked it out, however, and ended up adding eggs to the mixture and popping it back into the oven. As a result the candied yams looked like sweet potato pie with marshmallows on top, although the flavor was different.
We ate until we burst and then watched War of the Worlds (more on that later). There was plenty of sweets and the leftovers lasted for four days. I think we done good.
And what about you, my sweets. I've been absent of late, mostly because my modem was being a complete tease, but also because I couldn't actually be bothered to turn on my computer. So, what's up with you guys lately? Where's the fic, the meta, what did I miss besides TBQ's birthday and Goblet of Fire (which I will be going to see)?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY,thebratqueen
I'm busy rounding up my favorite fic of '05. Is there anything out there that I should be considering? Let's not forget that this has NOT been my readingest year ever.
Okay, darlin's -- Speak to me ...

Date: 2005-12-01 06:12 pm (UTC)From:The links for these are scattered all over the place, but the long list as of now, not including anything that I've bookmarked on Hank (I'll check those tonight when I get home) is:
Sixteen in Bulgaria (HP) by
Bodiless Within the Bodies (BtVS) by
Unsticking the Shadow (HP) by pogrebin
But None I Think Do There Embrace (BtVS) by
Hallelujah (BtVS) by Regala Electra
Paper Moon (Farscape) by Andraste
Lullaby (HP) by Blue Mooney
Blood Types (BtVS) by
In the Orchard (Farscape) by
And there's a Hermione/Lucius fic that I can't remember the name of but that I'm sure is bookmarked at home. I can already tell that this isn't going to be the final list. If I had to choose today I'd pick three, maybe four, from this list and leave it there.
Then! I don't think that I've read any of your stuff this year and the first two times I posted a best of list, there was one of your fic on each, so I knows there's got to be something from this year that I'm going to read in the next few weeks and totally fall in love with. I don't think that I've really hit up kita either, or moireach or doyle. I am SO behind that it's not even funny.
Looking back through my posts, it's been that kind of a year.
