in ANCIENT VIKING RUNES

I am trying to clean out at least one block of my shelves (you know the ones where you fit wire grids together to make squares? That is so not the best description, but hopefully it makes sense?) in order to get my yarn up off the floor. It's, um, a daunting task because I have stuff on those shelves that's more than ten years old. (I have also found various bits of sheet music, lots of pens and pencils, things left from my HS summer programs, graduation things, beading materials, and the gods alone know what else. Along with ten years worth of calendars.)

Also a journal! Wherein the first entry is from the day of the 2001 Nisqually earthquake.

( reproduced here for your pleasure. )

Oh my sweet gods, I was really weird in elementary school. Several pages later, I have a line that says, "The other part of it was writtin [sic] in ANCIENT VIKING RUNES."

Later, a little drawing of an archaeological dig and a figure with a speech bubble, "I found ancient tobacco!"

Mostly, I was writing in cursive and sparkly gel pens. (I still have most of those sparkly gel pens. *sighs*)

Things that are currently making me smile

Bloopers from LWW! Considering how much of this movie was CGI, it's incredibly impressive that it, you know, doesn't look like CGI.

Speaking of LWW, did you know that there's an extended edition of the battle? I DID NOT KNOW THIS AND I HAVE BEEN IN THE FANDOM FOR THREE YEARS THIS MONTH. The ways in which this makes me happy cannot actually be expressed. GUYS. EXTENDED EDITION OF MY FAVORITE FANTASY BATTLE EVER, NOW WITH BONUS AWESOME. *wild flail* (Here is a link to some of the clips; I shall endeavour to find a better video later. Ignore the fact that the poster cannot actually spell.)

Meanwhile, more bloopers! ...which I was going to embed, but embedding's disabled on the one I was looking at. As with the battle. Um. Meanwhile, here is a link! This one always makes me want to write people falling down all over the place in my fic. I think my favorite part is how William Moseley will, like, fall down a flight of stairs but do it in character even while everyone else is all, "Oh, the scene has cut!" SWORD IN THE FACE.

Right now I am in a NARNIA NARNIA NARNIA mood right now. My favorite kind of mood! If only it was transferring into writing.
