Hi!

[bobquasit]

Welcome to my journal. About two-thirds to 75% of the posts are public. The really GOOD stuff is friends-only. Okay, I'm kidding - sort of. But there are a fair number of friends-only posts.

If you'd like to be added to my flist, my standards are pathetically low. Comment here or email me, and reciprocate.

Gosh, I hope I live until January 6th, 2010. Otherwise this entry will be pretty macabre.

Well, there is something to be said for doing stuff way ahead of time.

*giggle*

Add me if you want. No promises, I fear, on the return -- you've caught me at the stage where I have a lot on my f-list, and it was hard enough jumping back 150 entries because I didn't care to pay for internet access at the con. *cry*

On the other hand, I did add the Arisia LJ Panel Community list, so I'll see you there... O;>

You're added, of course. As for friending me back, the thing is that some of the stuff I write about is friends-only; stuff about work, for example. Initially my fiction was going to be friends-only, but so far it has all been public.

What's the LJ Panel Community list? I can't find it. Do you mean the two panel-related communities that I created?

[archangelbeth]

The ones you made, yes. I'm on one of those at the moment.

I hope you're not too bored out of your mind by me, and don't worry if you wind up purging me off. For weal or woe, I am usually happy enough to accept that sometimes people just don't share the same interests.

[bobquasit.livejournal.com]

Well, we already know that we share a few interests: Arisia, parenting (and our kids are approximately the same age, which is a bonus), roleplaying, sf/fantasy, and an old APA. What more could anyone ask?

Another person who's read The Thirteen Clocks! I just re-read that, and need to read it out loud to Talis. It flows so nicely. :-) And you are not so far from us, we're in Milford...

I need to go look at that gateway sf community.. I collect children's books, and need to keep up to date as I also read things before I give them to Talis (to make sure she'd get into them), at least that's what I've been doing so far...

I wish he'd written more of that sort of thing. So far, I haven't found anything quite like it. Although The Last Unicorn is...comparable, perhaps.

Isn't that on 109? I used to commute that way, before I realized that most drivers were insane - at which point I switched to the commuter rail.

Unfortunately there's not much to see, yet. But I definitely plan to post more. I'm also going to go outside of strictly genre literature, probably; for example, there was a wonderful book, The Adventures of Phunsi by Alison Mason Kingsbury in 1946. Long out of print, of course; it's too literate and long for today's children. But it's a wonderful story about a young zebra who gets lost in New York, and features beautiful black and white art by the author. I treasure my copy.

Of course, Phunsi can run so fast that he literally becomes invisible; I guess that makes him the zebra equivalent of The Flash, so he could be considered genre.
