#timezone buddies hell yeah

Hm. Let's see if I can make you blush. *rubs hands together wickedly* Alyssa, you're brilliant and kind and kickass all at once, and I must say that you're possibly one of the most obnoxiously talented people I have ever had the privilege of meeting. I'm so in awe of the fact that you're able to balance both sciencey (hush, that's totally a word) logic and writerly (so is that) creativity and somehow make it work it so well for you. Really, only somebody as awesome as you could pull it off. ;)

*grins like a madman* Aaaaah, thank you, Topaz! I was going to say "You have to try harder", but I'm rereading this and let me just say, "Thou know'st the mask of night is on my face,/Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek." It is, after all, nighttime here in this timezone. :D

Throw me an ask to make me blush!

Hi love, I am a terrible person who totally forgot to drop in here and wish you happy birthday yesterday, but I'm here and armed with DOUBLE CHOCOLATE CAKE to make up for that alarming oversight. *hands you cake* *also various puppies* *and hardcover first editions of LOTR* Stopping by the blog later (fashionably late to the party, of course!) with more cake + Sherlock boxed sets! xx

Aaaah, it's totally okay and a belated happy birthday is as good as an accurate one because everyone's stopped heaping well wishes on me and one that's out-of-the-blue is lovely too :D *munches cake* Here, have some takeout.

*runs screaming away from puppies because I'm weird like that* Looking forward to seeing you on the main blog XD

So caskittens (main blog cindersky) tagged me to name 10 of my favourite fictional characters. Here we go!

Sansa Stark, from ASOIAF

Anne Boleyn, actually from history, also from The Other Boleyn Girl and Brazen (and Tarnish, which I'm going to read soon)

Violet Baudelaire, from ASOUE

Myrcella Lannister, from ASOIAF (okay, mainly from fanon, but still)

Galadriel, from Silmarillion + Hobbit + LOTR

Lord Asriel, from His Dark Materials

Paris, from Romeo and Juliet

Sherlock, from BBC Sherlock

Natasha Romanoff, from the Black Widow movie -- oh wait.

Ylen Xin, from Winner Takes All, also called my WIP

(Yeah, on the last one ... Topaz used one of her original characters too, so I can totally do this. *nods*)

So cindersky, who is literally gorgeous, tagged me to do the selfie post and I didn't notice until now because I am dilatory like that. (Yes, I just took my SAT. How could you tell?)

As a rule, I don't show my face on the Internet because I am a shy little porcupine. cindersky and stormcloudsandcream have already doubted my (flawless) existence on Twitter. So I decided to take this challenge ... while hiding behind the book I am reading. Yes, I'm still a shy porcupine.

I tag: stormcloudsandcream, unhappychair, aquietpersonwithaloudmind, shadowhunter123, and multifandomlilshit. It's okay if you prefer not to do it or to hide 99% of your face behind an object, including another face. Although I'm slightly worried that you have two faces. Have fun!
