Welcome

Hello everyone! Took me a while to get a post up, as uni has just started term 4 (*cough* yay) and of course the first weekend must be spent frantically writing up a biology lab report. INCLUDING statistical analysis - which I'm in two minds about. Maths is annoying, especially when it crops up in places I don't expect it to (says the person doing a biology degree) but now my suffering through a statistics course in first semester is justified.
Anyway, now that's finally out the way, I can talk about nice things, not why my results look so strange! Welcome to Laurel's journal!

I'm Kelsey, the girl who hosted your sister a few months ago! I am known for my relative inability to plan vacations, Mary Sue hair, sundress collection, and love/hate relationship with Glee. Also I teach and I'm either living online or not around at all. Welcome to DW!

Hello and welcome! I'm Becca, I also hosted your sister this summer, and she tells me I should talk to you about Finnikin of the Rock. :D

Hi! I'm Tris, I haven't hosted your sister (though I did hang out with one of the above commenters on Wednesday) but I met her once in San Francisco, and I am bad at explaining myself.

Greetings! I am Ash, girl from below your sister's year at high school. At the moment, I've been slightly eaten by Marvel movie-verse. Very slightly.

*coughs*

But welcome to DW! It is shiny and lovely.

*waves* Hi! I'm highly, I was at Women's with your sister.* Also I lived in Canberra for a while. I do, er, stuff. At the moment an assortment of things while I am between degrees; when doing degrees they are usually medieval literature degrees.

*Fun fact: I first met your sister during a body-chocolate licking contest. I was the lickee.

Hello! Thanks for saying hi (and sorry for taking a while to reply!) Did you host Fahye on one of her postings in her med degree? And what do you teach?

Hello and thanks! Yes, I love Finnikin of the Rock, I first heard about it when someone did it for their oral in English. They were very enthusiastic over it :D I haven't read the sequel to it though, have you?

YAY for Marvel! I am sadly under-educated in this area, since I haven't actually read any Marvel comics, just seen most of the movies. Fayhe says I should talk to you about Natasha/Clint, they make me squee :D All the more fun when highly trained assassins go all cutely awkward around each other!

Hello! That contest sounds . . . interesting :P Fayhe says 'oh yeah', after some memory searching! Were you doing a medieval lit degree at Women's, or something else?

Oh, I mostly ignore comics - my playground is the movies, and I'll occasionally nod at comic-backgrounds and ideas. But mostly, ehhhhh, comics.

Clint/Natasha currently own my soul to a ridiculous degree - they are basically all I write right now. I heart them, and ahhhh, feelings. And them being dorks off-duty, and all of that trust, whatever their exact relationship may be, and ahhhh, so much fun.

Yes, a friend of mine pretty much sat me down and glared at me until I put it on my library pull list. They were right to, it is great!

I actually just finishede sequel the other day and it is COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS. I mean, I really enjoyed it, but it's like someone took Finnikin of the Rock and put it in a blender with twelve Gothic novels and Little Miss Sunshine.

HI. Your sister said you're cool and I like cool people so here I am. I also like books and the Thor film and know more about superhero comics than anyone should.

It's MORE gothic than Finnikin? That's pretty impressive . . . and given that I adore Little Miss Sunshine, I am definitely reading this. One day. Just like I'll definitely read the other 50-odd books on my reading list >.>

Hello! I don't know as much as I would like about superhero comics, but I am definitely enthusiastic about them :D And the Thor film is awesome - it and Avengers just make me want to put Thor and Loki in a room together (reinforced, naturally) and say JUST GET ALONG, ALREADY!! YOU TWO MAKE MY HEART SAD.

HI. I only friended your sister a little while ago and we don't really know each other very well, but she said you're awesome so here I am. \o/

I can't promise that I'll be very active (this blog is a backup / mirror of my account on livejournal, where I'm more active) - but anyway. Nice to meet you! :)
