The uploading took a back seat as I contracted a nasty cold that has left me fighting mucus and a sore throat. At least it's bonus month. I intend to get two new pairs of jeans. I already bought myself some new perfume for the winter, as I use my Coco for work and the L'Ombre dans L'Eau by Diptyque is really more of a spring/summer smell. I bought the new Miss Dior eau de parfum. It smelled wonderful in the shop but I wish they wouldn't use those paper strips to test the perfume, the scent can be completely different once it starts interacting with your skin, but this smells a little like Coco, so we'll see.

I also visited Over Farm Shop today for the first time (one of those places that you can't visit unless you're driving). It's the closest place I've seen to The Goods Shed since I left Canterbury, with a delicatessen, a tea shop and a butchery attached to the main shop (which sells vegetables, locally brewed cider and beer, eggs and sundries). Parking is free and it's open until 6pm Mon-Sat, 5pm on Sundays. Will definitely be going back there.

Saw Bram Stoker's Dracula with my friends on Thursday, had forgotten just how ridiculous it gets in places (not to mention the soft porn), but time does not dim Anthony Hopkins's performance. Also saw Gentlemen Prefer Blondes yesterday (they show a classic movie at 3pm the first Saturday of every month). It's the first time I've seen it all the way through and the scene with Jane Russell pretending to be Marilyn Monroe makes much more sense now! *lol* I also think she had nearly all the best lines in the film, even if everyone does remember it for Marilyn singing Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend.

Still waiting to see Thor: The Dark World. *sigh*

My masterlist on my fanfic LJ has been updated! I am also finally uploading my Ginny story Watching For Wolves on there, so if any of my HP friends still read this LJ and are interested in finding out how it ended, please comment.

I'm also thinking about clearing my friends' list. Many people aren't on LJ any more or very rarely. If you haven't posted in over a year, then I will probably defriend you. It's not personal, it's just to make my friends' list more manageable. If you don't want me to defriend you, just commment here.

I hope to post a real life update soon, and actually complete my account of Paris. My sister still hasn't sent me the photos or that would have been done a long time ago!

Wrote a new Sailor Moon fanfic - The Silver Stranger for sm_monthly.

We're relaunching the comm, so please check it out and maybe submit some stories for April or May? :)

Newest fic, a crossover between Doctor Who and Harry Potter. Don't judge before you read it.

Once upon a time, the Doctor said no.

From now on, all fanfiction and fanvids will be posted to this LJ. I will still link in here, though, to make sure everyone's updated.

Please comment and tell me what you think!

The Green Fairy

Sequel to A Hundred Spires. Comes before Power Play.

Then he drank opaline.

Memories and terrors beset him.
The past tore after him like a panther and
through the blackness of the present he saw
the luminous tiger eyes of the things to be…

The past shed its perfume over him,
today held his hand as if it were a little child,
and tomorrow shone like a white star: nothing was changed.
Dowson

Author's Notes: The dance Venus and Kunzite are doing looks something like this.
