Ok, I just read Persepolis today, finished it about ten minutes ago, actually, and I don't know if it was the rotten day I had today or the fact that the full moon is tonight or the whacky horoscope thing or what, but that book made me cry. (Hugs would be nice right now.)
Of course, you should all go and read that book (Persepolis is by Marajane Satrapi, which is an awesome name IMHO.) It's done in comic form (which threw me off for a while, because my manga addiction makes me automatically read comic books right to left) and very cute. But it's very ... intense. There are cute funny bits that make it seem like something you'd show to kids to explain what it was like in Iran, and there's bits that disturbed even me, and you know how much harder it's gotten to squick me out these days. *blinks furiously* I've got that awful sick feeling you get in your throat when you've been crying ... I'm going to watch some Reaper now ...
In other news, I've been watching Monk via Netflix, my father is going to a Libertarian Convention this weekend, I might be going to a dance party this weekend, and my LJ anniversary is coming up!
Also, the due date for a literary magazine I'm inexplicably running (again) is this Friday, so I'm cobbling together some of my works and poems and junk and trying not to freak out. These next few weeks will be very stressful on me, so you'll be hearing even less from me, I'm afraid. *sigh* I'm working on some Academy!Fic for you Doctor/Master lot, I really am, aimisan read some over my shoulder on the road trip yesterday (she likes them, despite being squicked about the whole OT3 implications, but that comes LATER, they're still really young!)
