Squee-worthy Things

[slumber]

Yesterday, my family and I ate out, because they reasoned, since today was Father's Day, all restaurants would be filled and we won't get any seats, but if we ate out yesterday, no one would be celebrating Father's Day just yet, and we would have our seats.

ME: *dumbfounded at parents' reasoning*
PARENTS: We are so CLEVAH!
ME: But it isn't Father's Day yet.
PARENTS: But we have SEATS.

*rolls eyes* Oh well, at least we were able to get out, and I managed to find a bookstore and I got myself NEVERWHERE YAY! Have been looking for months for that darned book! (Also bought The Bartimaeus Trilogy on a whim--has anyone read it?)

Then today, on Father's Day, we ate out again. Will no longer point out to parents the irony of yesterday, as I have my books! *points to books*

Second item that is squee-worthy: I've been recced! *squees* Am so pleased someone thinks my work is good enough to rec. Hee. :P I'm shallow, I know, but that was enough to lift my spirits yesterday, somehow. :D (But I still want to go to Australia!)

Well, the third isn't so much squee-worthy as it is smug-smirk-worthy. You know the Mary Sue Meme going round? Where you put in your real name in FF.Net and see what Mary Sues have been named after you?

I haven't got a Mary Sue.

Well, I think it's because of a few reasons. For one, my name is French in origin, and not very common, that is to say, giggling 13-year-olds wouldn't likely think of it as a possible name when they want a nice new American exchange student entering Hogwarts in sixth year. Secondly, my name's spelling has been altered slightly, so it's even more obscure than it was originally. (For the normal spelling of my name, I found one fic. In Portuguese, so it doesn't count. Hee. :P)

On an LJ note, am thinking of changing icons. Or even the whole lay-out. *thinks*

The link doesn't work. *pout*

I can't do the Mary Sue meme. Because there is an actual character with the same name as me (even though he has an e and I don't). I gave up after the first page of results.

Hi Slumber! Nothing wrong with enjoying recoignition. It's human nature...it doesn't make you an attention whore. Oh, I wanted to say that I was thinking the same thing in regards to the belly button question...lol. Draco strikes me as an innie, and Harry seems like an 'outie' guy to me.

Eating out is nice. And books are nice. And I read your story (never heard of the source, but I read it because it was yours :p), which was nice as well.

::loffs Neverwhere::

Also, my name's fairly unSueable as well (although there was a Sue's mother with my name on pottersues yesterday) - "Máire" is hardly a common name, and my nickname is the same as a canon character's. :(

I don't have a Mary Sue either! Go us! We are just too cool.

You should come to Australia. You can stay at my house and we can be smug about our Un-MarySueness.

I keep changing the layout on my LJ and then deciding I liked it better before and changing it back. I want to learn to do tricky things with it, but it all seems so complicated and makes my head hurt!

Hey, found you through the G'n'H forum and thought of friending you. Hope that's ok, and that'll you'll friend me back.

Anyway, how come 'cause the fic's in Portuguese it doesn't count? Portuguese is such a beautiful language, and it is my native language. I say, give me the link and I'll take a look at it, hum? ::winks::
