Melle: [Company], good aftern-- morning, this is Sofie, how can I help?
Cutsomer: ... Bit eager for the weekend, are we? *snicker*

Ahem. Right. :D I'm cheerful today, yes; my new iPod HD has arrived! *boogies* It coems in a relatively huge box, though. Oooh, maybe there's styrofoam nugget thingies in there! I love those! (... What? I make my own fun.)

... I just got Viagra spam from Freud. Hee. Hee hee!

Link of the Day: British Born, American Bred : A Prince William Fanfiction. Yeah, I know.

More interview meme! From inruins:

1/what (if anything) did you dream about yesterday?

You know, I rarely remember my dreams, to be honest. I think the most recent one I can remember was a fannish one. (Yes, I dream fannishly. Hush.) Most my my truly vivid dreams, the ones I remember for a long time (I still remember a dream I had when I was about eleven) are nightmares, like the one about the world ending (complete with inferno, blood and body parts everywhere, people screaming, ...), or the one where a nuclear bomb was dropped on Antwerp. My brain is weird, yes.

2/what do you usually have for lunch?

Egg and mayo sandwich with ketchup. Mmmmmm.

3/what is the last item of clothing you bought for yourself/received as a present/etc?

Heh. Somewhere in Belgium, my mum is not pointedly rolling her eyes at me. Er, I think it was a pair of jeans from a second hand shop, but don't quote me on that; it's been at least a year since I bought anything new. Unless you count my gloves, which were made, notbought of gifted, but still new!

4/do you have a favourite co-worker? if so, why?

Not really. A few of them I actively dislike, most of them I get along with well enough, some I get along with better than most, but overall, I don;t really socialise with them enough to have a "favourite".

5/which songs would you take with you on a road trip?

Oh, dear, now you're asking. Lots of songs to sing along to, so probably a lot of Dubliners, Flogging Molly, U2, some Metallica, a little Dylan and Joan Baez, and a handful of old school punk for when I'd hit traffic jams.

And an amusing and cool quiz result:

Who is Your Alter Poet?

Way to go, your alter poet is Jack Kerouac, who is by FAR the coolest!

So, in that case, no one paid her. Which is something, at least.

So, which fanfic cliché author do you think it is: a middle-aged housewife escaping into wish-fulfillment fantasy, with the publication funded by play money her husband gives her; or a teeny-bopper escaping into wish-fulfillment fantasy, with the publication funded by working in Hot Topic?

Amusingly, she's not put her full name into Amazon, and has reviewed her own book. So sad.

Hm, I'm leaning towards the latter, quite frankly. Although there's always option three: some clever person who's realised people do actually gobble this sort of crap up and looking to make a quick buck.

I doubt it - it's Amazon sales rank #one billion and seven, and self-published books never make any money, anyway.

Someone who was trying to make money would do better to completely fictionalise it and sell it to a real publisher.
