1. Am taking a cigarette break without any actual cigarette being involved ::hides from supervisor::, I feel so sneaky.

2. The bf (whom from now on shall be referred to as S) brought me flowers to work this morning, effectively outing our relationship to my co-workers. But that's not the cool part, the cool part is that he was completely unfazed by my forgetting to mention my new "status" to the people I work with, that guy knows me well enough to last a while ::is happy::. Oh, and the flowers? are edible. I really, really like him.

3. I need recs of books/fanfiction about dystopias. This is of the most importance to my future and incidentally happens to be the reason I'm taking a cigarette break at all. So, get to it flist, hook a girl up and I'll bake and eat cookies in your honor, deal?

In case these are cookie-worthy:

* The Guardian offers a list of the Top 10 Dystopian Novels for Teenagers (http://books.guardian.co.uk/top10s/top10/0,,2158312,00.html).

* There are recommendations of X-Files and/or Lone Gunmen dystopian fan fiction here (http://eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com/36332.html).

* Two books on dystopias. (http://www.greenwood.com/search.aspx?s=dystopian)

They so are. You rock like a rocking thing!

Thank you!! Now it's all about being lucky enough to find some of those, but that the least of my worries right now.

Lots of sunshine for you!! And cookies, of course.

[eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com]

Yay! I found one more for you here (http://eldritchhobbit.livejournal.com/42965.html).

Thanks for the sunshine - and the cookies! *gobble gobble* :D

I dunno if this helps:

Wiki is your friend ^_^ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dystopia)
(DUDE O_O They mention "Equilibrium" and "12 Monkeys" AND "V for Vendetta" *smirks*)

hugs :*

[penandnotebook]

See? this is why I missed you, you cared enough to go to wiki for me! That's sweet, very sweet :D

I KNOW, and I was all yay! I've watched those movies, felt kinda dumb that I didn't know they were books originally, BUT I've learned something new, so not so dumb any more. MWAHAHAHA

Ahem, thanks dollface! Here have some Alec

*blushes* Awe... it's no problem sweetie. I have no life, so what do I care? :D

Dude O_O
I totally adore Equilibrium. I mean, Christian Bale... *purrs* And "V for Vendetta" is one of the most interesting films I've seen in a while. Not to mention beautifully shot and acted.

You're welcome, hun. Pleasure is all mine ^_^
Mmmm... Alec *drools*

hugs :*

I have no life, so what do I care?
So many miles apart, yet the same shared experiences... makes ya wonder.

"V for Vendetta" is one of the most interesting films I've seen in a while.
One of those I'm going to buy as soon as I have enough money to spend on such banalities as intellectual recreation.

;P

*edible* flowers, eh? whell whell :D :D

dystopias ... hmm.. I'm sure you've already got 1984 and Brave New World? I feel like I must have read many more, as I constantly dream of post-apocalyptic worlds... I shall ponder, and hopefully be back!

[silver-spotted.livejournal.com]

also Handmaid's Tale and Farenheit 451

and then I found a list of dystopian movies, because I was surprised I couldn't come up with more books off the top of my head: http://hem.passagen.se/replikant/

[penandnotebook]

Yeah, Brave New World at least, went today scouting for some of the ones I've recced and bought Fahrenheit 451, will read as soon as I'm done with the one I'm reading. Clearly studying for finals will have to get squeezed in-between. ::headdesk::

Ohh, cool movies! Gotta go and see if my DVD club has any of those I haven't seen.

Thank you, babe! ;D

ALso, HI, HOW ARE YOU?
