Edinburgh

[raven]

I'm in Edinburgh! It is very wet! I am still alive! My shoes are possibly not! Everything is ridiculously picturesque! I saw Mort! Death wore an apron with "Harga's House of Ribs" on it! There have been elephants! (Well, not real ones.) And books! And bookshops, and pubs, and extinct volcanoes, all with dogs!

Oh, and, the interview I just had was all right. Not great, not awful, but all right. And I had a horrible horrible realisation in the middle of the night that I will never be the sort of lawyer who makes any money. More later when dry.

(Also, I am being read to in Martian, and I got to the next stage of the GLS, and I think I may possibly have another interview post-August-17th. Life is chaotic. But good. I wish I had better shoes.)

Oooo me neither. Yaaaay human rights law! The law most lawyers don't consider to be 'real' law! When you get to that point I will totally form the poor fannish lawyers club with you.

Ohgod yes. Yaaaay, human rights law! Let's, I don't know, set up that fannish commune in West Virgina where we can have no money in peace. I rather look forward to it. :P

I love how the fannish commune in West Virginia has all but become an Internet meme at this point. :)

I can't remember why you wanted it in West Virginia, but clearly my subconscious thinks this is a great idea. There will be, I don't know, a cabin with pina coladas on tap.

(Also, I do not know why every fannish commune, in my head, features a preponderance of pina coladas.)

[gamesiplay.livejournal.com]

Mainly because I spent a lot of my childhood in cabins in the mountains of WV, and I firmly believe it is the most beautiful place in the world. Also, whoever is informing you that it's not in the South is CORRECT.

Oh god yes please pina coladas.

Eh, the South isn't so much my milieu -- I say the fannish commune should be in, like, northern Ontario or Quebec with the moose. :-)

I am being enthusiastically informed that West Virginia is not in the south. But, yes. Quebec also good, especially with meese.

Heh, well, being from Canada I tend to think anything much below Delaware as southern, if not Southern, so. :-)

... We could each have our own moose and use them as a form of really epic transportation!
