Hello

if you've received an email with my real name and finishing by aol.com, don't open it. My account has been hacked. I have no idea how to retrieve it :-S

Bonjour

si vous recevez un mail avec mon vrai nom et une terminaison en aol.com, ne l'ouvrez pas. Mon mail a été piraté. Et je n'ai aucune idée sur comment le récupérer :-S

Alas I seem to be always in a rush these days but I want to thank you all my friends for the lovely cards and Vgifts I received yesterday. You're all marvellous and I love you.

Happy New Year to you all. May it be a better year for lots of you, or even a better year for those who had a good 2011.

Bonne année à tous. Que 2012 soit une meilleure année pour vous ou une année encore meilleure pour ceux qui ont eu une bonne année en 2011.

My gift in the exchange was posted this week: Blood and Tears. When Severus and Hermione can't stay apart...

And I'm having a break from fanfic (in fact, I started the book while waiting for a new post in the exchange). I'm reading Fateful by Claudia Gray. There are werewolves, a love story and all on board of the Titanic. The storyline is rather predictable, I think, but I enjoy reading it. The writing is all right, the heroin engaging, the details about the society of that time wel researched. It's a good distraction!

Hello. Me again! Twice in a day. But it's for a friend. Do you remember that story: Tonight, you're mine completely and its sequel by joannie2 on Ashwinder? She's ready to start posting again but she'd like a second beta. So if someone around here likes that story and has time on his/her hands, could you drop her a message, please?

Thanks in advance for her.

Remember the fanart I was gushing about yesterday? It's done!!!! If you want to read the story associated with it, it's HERE.


Admire (under cut):
( Pretty, pretty )

ETA I shouldn't post an entry while half awake. The credit for the fanart goes to the wonderfully talented ferporcel.

cabepfir (some of you know her on Deviant Art) is looking for a beta for her HGSS fic. Since I have a much larger flist than her, I proposed her to link to her beta request here.

ETA thank you for those of you who offered ♥

Lookit, I'm on the quizz this week, for the name that spell quizz. Being on the quizz for having created a spell is... I don't know... I feel good about it :D

Copy and Paste if you have enjoyed the blessing of meeting people online that you never would have met any other way.

This is my end of the year shout out to the many "friends" I have never been in the same room with but who have inspired, amused, comforted, encouraged, and touched me in so many ways. I love you people! Here's to another year together!!

I've been on LJ for more than four years (already?), and on a HP forum before that. I've been more of a lurker than an active poster/commenter lately, but I religiously check the flist everyday, even quickly, just for the pleasure of your company. Have a very Happy New Year, everyone!

Someone up for betaing a Women of the Otherworld drabble, please? You don't need to know much about the series to beta it. Thanks!

I'm in the last for my story Geneamorology. Squeee!



I also have new lay-outs on my LJ, LJ fics and IJ. It was time for a change!

And I love my Kindle. I've been playing with it a lot, adding new books and downloading fanfiction on it. Since I've been on the move a lot last week, I appreciated having it a lot too :)

That's the most exciting things I've done this week, with betaing lovely fics and translating another bit of my exchange fic in French.

Have a good day!

Pas grand-chose à dire de cette semaine. Le plus excitant que j'ai fait est de changer mes lay-outs sur mon LJ, mon LJ fics, et sur IJ. C'est dire.

J'ai aussi beaucoup joué avec mon Kindle. J'adore ce truc. Un des meilleurs achats que j'ai fait. J'ai maintenant des années de lecture devant moi ! Et comme je bouge pas mal dans mon boulot, j'apprécie d'avoir cet objet.

Passez une bonne journée, les amis !

I saw a yellow porsche in my town last week, and this morning I saw this on a car in the car park (I hope the picture shows ok):

( picture under cut )

Wouldn't you say that it's too much of a coincidence? ;)

J'ai vu une porsche jaune la semaine dernière dans ma petite ville de province, et ce matin dans le parking de la gare, j'ai vu la plaque ci-dessus à l'arrière d'une voiture (j'espère que la photo n'est pas trop sombre).

A ma place, ne penseriez-vous pas qu'il y a là plus qu'une coincidence ? ;)

The sshg_exchange revel is up! I can now thank zauza for her wonderful gift. You made me a very happy fangirl.

And I can claim to have written From Mother to Daughter for leandra713. Thanks for such an inspiring prompt. It wouldn't let go of me until I wrote it. And for those who would still hesitate to read it because of the theme, I can assure you that it's not squicky at all. My betas, melusin_79 and juno_magic, were darlings and helped me to make it a loooooot better than it would have been *squishes betas*

Thanks you to the mods for your work and for granting me an extension. Now I can answer the reviews and catch with what I've left to read.

Lookie, my HGSS exchange gift has arrived! Pretty dolls in pretty pictures and with pretty clothes for me. Aren't I a lucky girl?

lindsley16, dreamy_dragon73 and melusin_79. I hope you had/are having a nice day.

Happy birthday to gina_r_snape. You're a wonderful woman. I've learned so much through you. May you live through many more birthdays!

And happy birthday to inspired_ideas. Have a lovely day!

whimbley. I hope for you a better year to come!

to Blue Artemis. I hope you're having a great day!

to shiv. May you have a great day (and a blond, shoes, chocolate, etc.).

to subversa! I wish you a happy day, a new flat that holds its promises and many more returns *squishes you*

to kribu. I wish you to rest, a clear nose and clear head. That's what you seem to need more lately. *hugs*

to shellsnapeluver and zyra321. I wish you many more to come!

to deemichelle. I hope you're having a very good day!

Congrats to all OWL awards winners! They were all deserved!

à la dame aux jolis chapeaux, j'ai nommé shaniah ! Profite bien de la journée !

à zazaone, the one and only zaza ! J'esppère que cette journée te réservera quelques bonnes surprises. Je t'embrasse très fort (et la petite miss aussi).

Thanks to juno_magic, who just knew who to ask, I now have Toddler Key on my computer, downloadable HERE or HERE.

Description of the software: Toddler Keys is a useful tool for parents that allows you to lock your computer keyboard, CD drive doors and power-off button. When the keyboard is used it will display images and play sounds every time a key is pressed, thereby preventing access to the desktop and applications, while adding some entertainment value for the kid. You can select the images and sounds to be used by copying them to the Toddler Keys folder. To exit the locked screen, just type the word QUIT.

I've intalled it this morning, and it seems to work.

dacian_goddess. I wish you success in the university of your choice *hugs*

Happy birthday to shalimar1981. I hope this has been a nice day for you and your little one.

The [Bad username: twi_exchange"] reveal is up. I now know that my gift, The Bet, was written by VampireMama.

My own gift was for deemichelle, whose prompt was very inspiring. I wrote her The Women's Valentine. Thanks to juno_magic for being a wonderful beta!

to beffeysue! May you have the best of days!
