But it was nothing that a tenner and a bullet couldn't fix...

So weird dreams for me lately.

Earlier this week, I dreamed that while waiting in line at a doctor's office, another patient attacked me, and bit me (or stabbed me, I can't actually recall which, because in true dream logic, I discounted the injury as irrelevant once I'd walked away from the attacker,) right over my dragonfly tattoo that's on my sacrum. That tattoo was my self-gift for finishing my first novel, and the kanji in it (Kessin) stand for "determination", though I didn't remember that it was there in the dream. While waiting in that same line later in the week, I learned that the same man who had attacked me, had then been allowed to remain in the waiting room after I'd shaken him off and left, and that he had later attacked and severely beaten the doctor I'd been there to see. And THAT freaked me out. And THAT woke me up, too -- that weird logic disconnect. I do recall that the attacker looked not unlike Charles Manson, assuming he'd been living under a bridge for the past 30 years, instead of in a supermax.

Then last night, I dreamed that Dave Grohl gave me a pedicure.

I KNOW!

Look, I'm not even a Foo Fighters fan. At all. But somehow in the dream, he and I were good enough buddies that I felt comfortable lounging around his bedroom with my shoes off, and didn't bat an eye when he took it upon himself to fix my toenails. Which he then snapped off in one go, like they were those plastic press-on nails that come joined together in a package, and have at them with a friggin dremel tool! Okay, I did kind of flinch when he broke all my toenails off my foot in one go, but when I realized that it hadn't hurt (just felt a little cold) and that the nail beds weren't particularly sensitive without the nails, I just shrugged it off, and watched him work.

He tossed each one to me once he'd got it shaped down to where he liked it, but I didn't know how to put them back on again, since they didn't want to stick properly. I think I just tucked them into my pocket or something. I do know that he got distracted or interrupted halfway through though, and so he never did the other foot.

What the actual fuck, subconscious? Are we exploring new fetish territory or something? Because I gotta tell ya, my waking mind is STILL squicking out about exposed nail beds and toe nails in my pocket, and ZOMG!shiverrrrr!

Taking feet as a metaphor for foundation, and toenails as a protection element, I still can't work out what the fuck Dave Grohl has to do with anything!

My brain: It's a silly place.

Author's Notes: Draco watches Harry work.

Draco watched Harry through the window as he tugged on a pair of gloves then picked up the large flat shovel. Tossing his scarf around his throat, Harry set to it, scooping up a large mound of snow from the walk and dumping it off to the side.

Idly, Draco watched Harry work for a few feet then smirked as Harry stopped to adjust his scarf and hat. Opening the door, he flicked his wand at the path; it cleared instantly and Draco called out to Harry.

"Get in here; I'm cold!"

Harry turned and gave him a two-fingered salute.

Neville ventured into the kitchen and grinned as he found Bill peeking into what appeared to be a cauldron.

"What's that and what are you doing?"

Bill jumped, dropping the spoon and lid he was holding before turning around. "Nothing!"

"If it's nothing, why do you look so guilty?"

Bill sighed and dipped his spoon back into the pot, offering the bite to Neville. "Here, taste Severus's Christmas pudding. It's excellent, just don't breathe in while you swallow; it's been soaking in Firewhisky since last summer."

Neville laughed out loud.

"Shhh… Mum hates that his pudding is better than hers."

Summary: Harry certainly didn't enjoy spending the last part of
his sixth year in detention after the Sectumsempra incident, copying
out his father's past misdeeds. Imagine having to watch over him for
hours on end, from only a few feet away, knowing what happened, what
will never be, and what's coming... Any day now.
Artist's Notes: You asked for gen, with angsty Harry and
protective Snape at Hogwarts. I hope this fits the bill! All furniture
and the knicknacks on Snape's desk, including the lopsided oil lamp
with modern lampshade on, were inspired by Snape's office as it
appeared in the CoS movie.

And for your birthday, Clue, I give you a boot to the head! *Whump*

My poor old dinosaur of a desktop appears to have had an allergic reaction to our new network router. It's seven years old, which in computer terms is practically an abacus with a box of crayons on top, and despite a maxed out memory load, and a catastrophic hard drive failure or two, it's been generally a trooper of a machine. But tonight it's ailing pretty badly.

Dominus is online at present, researching our options, but apparently the network change is going to significantly complicate recovery from this little fit.

And to make it all even shinier, I lost today's work on Tempus Fugitive, (such as it was,) as well. That, I could have done without.

Still, it's not as bad as could be. So long as my hard drive isn't hammered by this issue, our music library ought to be intact, and I've got Argentyne the Netbook for interwebs interface in the meantime.

And really, how pissy can a girl be when she's nomming on Emril's wine-poached, gorgonzola stuffed pears? I ask you?

In other news, I'm still reading Matthew Rossi, and I'm happy to say that his crazy moon logic has pretty much insured that if the Xtians are right about things, I'm gonna definitely spend my eternity in the Hell of the Heretics. But that's okay. All the interesting, creative folks will be in there with me anyhow. We'll have a good time.

Aaand Dominus returns from the trenches waving the white flag. Whatever this is, it's bigger than my homegrown digeratus, alas. He can't even get it into safemode without it BSOD'ing and rebooting. I say again, thank Cod the music library is on a different drive to the OS! This is gonna be a bumpy ride, methinks...

"Draco. Wake up and come look outside! The snow is gorgeous!"

Draco rolled over in bed, groaning and pulling the blankets up over his head. "Shh, don't say things like that. Someone might mistake it for Christmas or something."

Harry frowned as he stood at the window, and he turned toward to the bed. "Get up! It's a beautiful morning, despite the cold."

Draco gave a mock-snore in answer.

Harry eased up the window, scooping up the fresh snow and packed it into a ball. Taking aim, he threw it at lump that was Draco's blanketed head.

"Ow!"

"Happy Christmas!"

See, shit like this is why I could never get a dime on resale for my textbooks.

It is physically impossible for me to sit in a class with a pencil in my hand, and not doodle constantly. There were some halfway decent things that arose out of that month in the SACVAP class though, so I've gone ahead and pasted them all up together, for records' sake.

I've posted it here on DeviantArt because the size makes it awkward with Journal interface, but there's all sorts of stuffs in there. Including a couple of HP fandoodles (Two Snapes, a Harry, a Pansy, and a Tonks, if you're curious,) along with my normal fodder of elves, faeries, flowers, abstract viney-smokey things, and a monster or two. Oh, and a nekkid boy too.

Feedback is welcome, as always, but please leave it here, not on my DA account, as I don't bother checking anything over there anymore. (They're all doodyheads, is why.)

A little candy for my DanRad Mad friends...

I scanned this pic out of the latest Entertainment magazine. It's from a photo book wherein a photographer stalks Our Danny throughout his day, snapping candid pics along the way.

I picked this one because of that shocking hair, more than anything. Though the big kushy robe didn't hurt none.

Severus stared around the room. Red decorated nearly every surface from the poinsettia wrapped candles to the shiny balls and bows festooned on each bough of the little tree standing in the corner.

"Is it that time of year already?" Severus huffed.

Harry hummed as he walked past, toeing up to plant a kiss on Severus's cheek.

Severus rolled his eyes and turned to face Harry. It was then that he noticed Harry only wore a small Father Christmas hat, and he was standing under the mistletoe.

Leering, Severus followed Harry, softly singing, "It's the most wonderful time of year!"
