Two things:

1) Have just come back from a nice night out - went to the pub for cocktails with flat(hall)mates. It was lovely - though now I feel as if I've had a pint of milk, all in one go. But, oh, the creamy amaretto-y whipped-cream-y goodness. Yummmm...

2) Still pinching myself from the sudden windfall. Watch as it comes back to bite me on the ass.

3) I'm trying to keep count of all those that have read the book, for my own evil purposes. Do me a favor and tell me - if you're reading this - if you have. I like to keep tabs on my minions. *cackles*

4) The best news. Ever. Right up there with #2. The Magistrate herself is coming to England in April (VISA permitting). But, my friends, not just England, oh no. Not even the South coast, as was originally planned. She is coming straight to me - she is coming to Brighton. Glorious, glorious Brighton. With glorious, glorious Moa. Could life get any better? And can I just say that The Howl Kingdom shall rock the fandom world? Because there will be no need for AIM - we will be in the same place. Working on the same thing. It'll be amazing. I know I sound restrained, but that's because I'm trying not to burst out into giggy giggling. Oh, yes, I am that excited. This will be amazing.

5) [livejournal.com profile] rochefort is an evil temptress. She's getting me back from luring her here with a code. Gah.

6) I still haven't caught up on my sleep since Friday night. Turning in early today. I can't believe those words just came out of my, er, fingers. But it's true.

7) I was only supposed to write two things. I can't count.

8) Useless bit of trivia - and I'm not even sure it's true - but the smallest penis ever recorded was 5/8 inches long. Erm. I said to my hallmate that I guess wanking was out of the question. She came up with "tweezers" as the answer. All I can really say is - ouch. A big (well, not really) fat ouch.

And on that thought, I shall bid you all farewell.

Evil? Me? (bwahahah!) Oh, and I just posted detailed stalking instructions on a previous entry.

The official name for such a condition is "microphallus" or "micropenis."

Boys with the condition used to be considered prime candidates for gender reassignment surgery. However, today intersexed (phenotypically and genotypically) individuals have lobbied to change this course, instead recommending that parents allow the child to reach maturity without surgical alteration of the genitals (excluding that necessitated for excretion, etcetera) and pretty much see what happens, since many of the adults who had either assignment surgery or had their genitals altered for "cosmetic" reasons as children have conflicting identities and feel mutilated and robbed by the procedure.

Give the kid a non-gender-specific name, that's all I'm saying.

Blaise Zambini springs to mind.

Your one-minute lecture of the day is complete. ;)

*raises hand*

Am Minion. Am mindless drone. Have already recc'd The Book to at least two people (one's already reading At Swim Two Birds (Or Something Like That) for class, and is interested in seeing the Real One True Way).

StereoBum in Brighton?! I'd be jealous, but I'll bet I'll be able to hear the howls from here!

Have book, have not yet read it.

Wish I could be there in April with you and the Magistrate. Will not even be there for the arrival of the NY GALs. Although that is probably good thing, being stux on a plane with a bunch of Gryffindors might totally shoot my patience to zilch. :)

Get some sleep!

o O (Are you that number wasn't recorded for an Elf-male? That would explain why all the hot Elven princesses and babes fall for mortal Men....:) )

Haha, yes, I have read At Swim-Two-Birds. Excellent book, written before Two Boys so you can't say Flann O'Brian copied. No one copied, actually. Anyway an excellent book.

And Liz you already know about my reading and whatnot.

[identity profile] miraminx.livejournal.com 2003-03-11 09:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm reading it. Baaaaaa!

[identity profile] akela.livejournal.com 2003-03-12 01:31 am (UTC)(link)
I'm one of your minions, I've read the masterpiece. I know a few people who want to read it, but i'm currently being very protective of my book and haven't leant it too them.

[identity profile] mrsronweasley.livejournal.com 2003-03-12 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
I know. I saw.

>_<

I'm doing it. Later today, I'm going to write a draft. If I get chucked in jail, or just get told off for being way too annoying to live, it'll be your fault. No, really. You'll get a Howler. Bwahahahahaha!.. (see? I can be evil too!)

Oh, and...

*nag nag* *cough*

Hmmmm... Definite ethical issues here - what's more traumatizing - having virtually no penis but still retaining your own sex and real nature or being made to change? Those sorts of issues make me happy that so far I haven't had to decide on anything of the sort. Jesus. THe poor parents of those kids... *shudders*

Blaise Zambini springs to mind.

Well, actually, isn't it a boy's name? I always assumed so, and Cybele - just yesterday! - brought up a male writer (poet?) that was named Blaise Somethingorother. Hmmm... I've entertained thoughts of naming a potential daughter of mine Fred. But that would be cruel. She'd be Jo, instead.

Am Minion. Am mindless drone.

Ahahahahahhaaaa... ;) Cool. *checks off*

By the way, yeah, Jamie O'Neill's been told off for 'imitating' the name. That pisses me off for reasons I shall not go into here, but I would like to check that book out. Classic, and all that.

And are you still at York? You could visit, you know. *nudge nudge wink wink*

[identity profile] rochefort.livejournal.com 2003-03-12 04:33 am (UTC)(link)
I'm doing it.

Good. Becaue I knew you really, really wanted to.

*nag nag* *cough*

Email? Soon! Promise.

YOU?! Nah!

[identity profile] mrsronweasley.livejournal.com 2003-03-12 04:35 am (UTC)(link)
Have book, have not yet read it.

Check.

Oh, and yes, we all know how you feel about those Gryffindors. Only you just can't stay away. ;) Bwahahahah, we've got the POWER!! Ahem. Anyway.

Are you that number wasn't recorded for an Elf-male? That would explain why all the hot Elven princesses and babes fall for mortal Men....:)

Bastard. All I'm sayin'.

[identity profile] mrsronweasley.livejournal.com 2003-03-12 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Hehehe...cool!

Check.

(Hope you're enjoying it, by the way. I'm not in it for the numbers, only the pure pleasure that reading brings. Really. I promise.)

[identity profile] mrsronweasley.livejournal.com 2003-03-12 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, don't I know how you feel! I can't let the book go. I just can't. They'll have to pry it from my hands. Over my dead body.

[identity profile] mrsronweasley.livejournal.com 2003-03-12 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, you're quick! We do this a lot, don't we? You're online when I'm online...

Good. Becaue I knew you really, really wanted to.

Of course I did. You know me too well.

Email? Soon! Promise.

See above. Sharp, too. I think I'll keep you.

Hehe...

The problem with being a Slytherin alumnus is that all my old classmates are (pick one):
a.) dead
b.) rotting in Culparrat ;)
c.) in hiding from the Ministry
d.) still holding to the old "A Crucio a day keeps the Aurors away" motto, which does not make for fun reunions

:D

Besides, will need the support of all (including the Gryffindor types) when the time comes to reclaim the throne. :)

Am sorry to breax the news about Elf-males to you like that. Hee.

Guess what was delivered to my front door just yesterday by the UPS guy? Yep, my very own copy of "At Swim Two Boys"! I haven't had time to start it yet, but plan to do so soon. So, count me as one of your minions. ;-) You knew that I'd succumb eventually to your bombardment of accolades for this book, didn't you?

And, I caught just the last bit of the movie about Oscar Wilde the other night, but alas! I didn't get to see Rent Boy! Bahhh!

[identity profile] miraminx.livejournal.com 2003-03-12 08:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I finished it. In case you're wondering how I plowed through it so quickly, let me just explain that there is almost nothing else one can do while feeding a small child, and said small child went on an eating binge the last few days. Me: "what, again?" She: "WAAAAAAAAAA--mmmff!"[as her mouth was filled]

I did like it, although it broke my heart and I saw it coming. Dammit!

Hehe, smart kid. Food's important, dammit!

Oh, it breaks your heart over and over and over... Are we surprised that a small part of Firelocks wanted to strangle the man as he was sitting in front of her? No, no we're not. I am glad to hear you liked it! And I commend you for your speed. Thank Miniminx for me. :)
