The Reclusive ShyGryf

sorry folks, this journal is now

leave me a comment if you would like to be added to my flist.

The problem with LiveJournal is that we think we're close, but really, we know nothing about each other.

So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me, something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about, or something you've always been curious about but have never asked, or something completely silly that you'd like me to answer for kicks. No limits on the range of questions, either: ask me anything you want to know about, whether it's a fannish opinion or a question about a fic of mine or trivia about my real life or my thoughts on events in the offline world.

I am really working hard on putting myself out there and making this post public so I can accept anonymous comments if you don't want to attach your name to it.

Had a fantastic time last night, there will be Pics to come once i get them from Weasel's camera.

in the meantime, have a meme! I stole it from luvscharlie, though I can't do hers as she has disabled anonymous comments! ETA: fixed

So, leave an anonymous comment with answers to the following and I'll try and work out who you are

Comment anonymously with...

one secret:
one compliment:
one random fact:
one love note [to someone; to anyone]:
lyrics to a song:
how old you are:
how long we've been friends, (or how well we know each other, or something related):
and a hint to who you are:

Taken from everyone later than most.

Put your iPod/iTunes on shuffle. Write out first line of 20 songs and have flist identify the song.

I used my music library which is very limited, I only included one song per artist. i am making this public because I have had so much trouble in the past. I'm never sure what counts as the first line so if you need more words comment saying how many more words to add.

Go to helmet_fest2008 to sign up to write or at least to submit a bunny!

Helmet fest is a not a competition it is just a place to read lots of fic and see lots of art. It doesn't matter if you're a newbie. You have an entire month to create something to honor the second eldest Weasley Boy. it can be a fic, a drabble, a drawing, even a filk!

Or, if you don't feel comfortable at least submit a non ship bunny and support all the creativity!

So i have a bunch of icons without credit, and am looking to give credit where credit is due. if you Made theese, or know who did, please let me know, and if you have orphaned icons of your own, please feel free to place them here.

When I do accounting I listen to my own CDs because the radio stations here are crap and I can't do Launchcast at work. One day a song spawned a plot bunny that bit me while I was at work. I had to wait two hours until I could write and have been writing off and on for two weeks. I wanted to finish it on my last days off, but the latest draft was on my work computer, and I knew if I rewrote it it wouldn't be right. Here are the lyrics to the song:

Here is my songfic. It is very rough un-beta'd, and un-britpicked.

a big thanks to thesteppyone for being my Brit-picker. any errors are all my fault.

When all the founders built this school,
They did the work themselves,
They built the walls, and filled the halls
With magic that still dwells.
But when it came to who would learn
Upon this hallow ground;
The founders had there own ideas,
And sorrow did abound;
Till they declared, “a house for each!”
The favorites of the four,
Would dwell with those who were the same,
The ones they did adore.
For Helga Hufflepuff did think,
That hard work was the best,
And searched for loyalty she did,
To place in badgers nest.
For Godric Gryffindor, the brave
Were destined for his house,
Impetuous, and confident,
The lion not the mouse.
For Salazar, a Slytherin,
Must be ambitious, sure,
With cunning, craft, be circumspect,
Have bloodlines that are pure.
Last but not least, A Ravenclaw,
with knowledge as a prize;
Rowena loved those who would search,
For truth behind all guise.
The four then planned for in their death,
A way for them to be,
Immortal and to cull the herd,
They put some brains in me!
Sit on the stool, put on this hat,
I’ll look inside your head.
The founders can not sort you now,
That’s why I’m here instead!
