Alice, a bridal shower, and fandom
Karnak turban'd, I hold an envelope to my head and say: a Tori Amos song.
Today I saw an icon of Ann B. Davis with some smartass remark on it with profanity and it was an incredibly surreal experience. I mean, I KNOW her, and she would *never* react like that, but... who am I to say that to somebody? Haven't I made smartass remark icons of people I didn't know and thought it was clever?
I have a bridal shower to go to tomorrow. It's for a girl I knew in college, and if it wasn't for her, I might not have met my husband the second time and ended up marrying him! She went to high school with him and in a very odd twist (as we were pretty close friends that spent quite a bit of time in each other's company during my year+ at college), was furiously angry at me without even knowing who I was, back then. She had a crush on him and he'd asked me to the prom and I'd refused, so he didn't go. She wanted him to go with her--as you can imagine, it was an interesting conversation when we'd figured all of that out three or four years later!
I don't have anything nice to wear, since I don't ever go anywhere. I don't know why I agreed to go (I don't know anyone but her and my mother-in-law, who is also invited), because I usually avoid stuff like this like the plague. To top it off I've been procrastinating about getting my license photo taken so I can't drive there myself because I refuse to risk getting a huge ticket for an invalid license. G is not pleased, but the shower isn't far from his parents' house, so he can chill there at least.

serade_black's userinfo early this morning and discovered an award issued by the host site of ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
grangerenchant, a Hermione website and fanfiction archive. The graphics are gorgeous, and I got a pleasant surprise when I began to upload TSIK there--I got a mail from one of the two mods saying that she and her co-mod recognized me from fanfiction.net and were opening up the queue for me, so I didn't have to wait to have anything verified before it was posted. I was completely charmed and honored by that! There are some great stories on there, I would definitely check it out.
On the new site Immeritus, there's this post-count thing (muggle, first year, etc) so people can tell if you're new, as well as a karma/smite button. Of course the mods have like +15 karma but what I thought was so cool was, I found a bug in the site and posted about it (and the site is all scary about newcomers and what not to post and such), and the mod gave me +1 karma! So now I'm a Muggle with like a 9 postcount and I have karma. *feels special*

I've never been to a Bridal Shower either, so I've no idea what you're supposed to wear.

We'll see if it works, though.

I saw you registered 'cause there was a recognizeable name on the side where it says 'newest member' and I was all happy :)
ps. hehe, I know why you picked that icon!

Besides, you will look beautiful.

I guess you're right about the Ann B. Davis thing. My first reaction was also a bit of anger, but then I got to thinking about all the icons I've seen, and how often the humor in them comes from people saying things they didn't and/or wouldn't really say ... guess it's best to just take it with a grain of salt.
