A brief note

Jan. 23rd, 2013 at 8:18 PM

There has been a friending meme, which I sort of took part in (I put myself on it and thought if anyone friended me despite/because of all my strange interests, they must be the best people, heh) and also there were a few people over the seasonal exchanges. Well, I have an introductory post I did last month for the other friending memes, and things are still pretty much the same. But welcome anyhow!

Other people are doing one of those asking questions/tell me things meme to get to know people. I'm not. (Because I can only think of one thing to say - like Evelyn in The Mummy: "I'm a librarian!" Which is only now true in the non-technical sense, anyway. And then my mind goes utterly blank about asking questions. It always happens. So I'm not doing that.)

Instead I'll either post yet another David Collings picspam (but I am nearly all out of source material, okay) or a belated fic year-in-review post. I haven't decided yet, but they are both all but ready in draft, so one of those should happen in the next hour.

I know. Gosh. Can it get more exciting round here? :loL:

But, anyway, welcome to the new new people! And to the still slightly-new people and the shiny old people. Life's too tough not to need more good people in it, so it's good to have you here. ♥

What about the dull old people?

I don't have any dull old people. Everyone round here is shiny. ♥

Well I can't claim to be shiny...

Well, just very nice, then. Will that do?

Nice? NICE! What a horribly imprecise word is nice...

That's the last time I offer you a compliment. ;-p

(And I'm quite sure that will prove to be utterly untrue. :loL:)

Greetings.

I'm an archivist!

This is probably all you need to know.

...like Evelyn in The Mummy: "I'm a librarian!"

Have you ever knocked over all the shelves like she did? ~~Or battled the undead?~~

I haven't knocked all the bookshelves down, but I have brought whole shelves full of books down on my head, if that counts?

Battling the undead happens so little these days, though, excepting fic.

That's because everybody just wants to fall in love with the undead nowadays, it seems. Preferably moody undeads. It's all very depressing.

Since when was love better than visceral dismemberment?

I'm just sad all these new new people will probably get petted gratuitously instead of me. :( I'll just go and sit in the corner alone. IN THE DARK.

::tries to resist the big, green eyes and gorgeous face::

Kitty! ::pets adorable kitty gently::

To make up for my appalling lapse, I'll attempt to assuage your wrath by using an icon of my own black kitty. ::points to icon::

PS. Your cat is gorgeous. ♥

Oh, I wish it was my cat! It's just the most adorable Cat Picture ever found on the internet. I can't resist. :D

I think if I started petting other people on my flist (gratuitously or otherwise), they might run away. You are okay! LOLOLOL. ♥

Well, you know, I was talking generally. Of course, you glitter all on your own; you're made of sparkles like a Twilight vampire. ;-p

I am a shiny old person. Who knew? \o/

Instead I'll either post yet another David Collings picspam

Ooh, what a threat. That'll learn 'em. ::goes off to admire said picspam::

You are! ;-)

Yes. If people play up any more, I'll even threaten them with David Collings gifs and Silver fic. See how they like that! :lol:

I saw an interview with a famous jazz musician once where he said that a musician was something he was, not something he did, and he'd be a musician always even if he were forbidden ever to touch a musical instrument again.

I expect it's much the same being a librarian.

Yes, but with less music and more people laughing at you. :-)

But, aww. Thanks. I kind of think that too. ♥

Hello!*waves*
Mummy-style "I'm a librarian!" introduction speaks volumes already, heeh. I'm an analyst and this is the most boring way to introduce oneself, but thankfully, I don't associate myself with the job description too much.

Noooo, "I'm an analyst" sounds exciting to me, because now I think you are like Ruth Evershed from Spooks (a Senior analyst at MI5, she likes to think there isn't an organisation in the country that's safe from her). One of my all-time favourite characters in anything. :lol:

But, hi, anyway. :-)
