First!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! HUGS FOR ALL WHO WANT THEM!

It's my birthday!

[morieris]

I'm twenty!
I love coming to FS and seeing people older than I who are still involved in fandom - it makes me smile.

EDIT: Well, apparently FS is already in 2013 - I'm still on 12/31

Got my meds

[(Anonymous)]

Posted here yesterday about not wanting to get my antidepressants, got my ass out of the house and nabbed them today. Thanks FS.

crafty people!

[deadtree]

I've just started learning to crochet (after fighting with it for over a year, being left handed)... all I can do is single crochet in straight lines, but my goal is to make amigurumi.
I also do cross-stitch and embroidery.

what kind of crafts do you do, fs people?

How do people draw things?

[supermanda]

I mean... from memory? I don't understand how you can just paint or draw an eagle (for example) without having to look at a picture and the proportions just end up being spot on.

I don't get it. I wish I could draw. I would go hardcore in fanart. Maybe I should take classes? I can't even explain in words how awesome it would be if I could draw or paint properly. I can't afford classes at this moment, but are there any books or videos you guys would recommend?

(ps. HAPPY NEW YEAR
)

[(Anonymous)]

I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't enjoy winter break. Yes, it's great to not have classes, and to have proper food instead of the weak imitation found in the dining hall, and access to the TV and video games that won't fit in my dorm room, but I hate being with my family all the time. Isn't five minutes enough? Can I please go home now?

New Year's Resolutions!

[(Anonymous)]

You know you want to. I'll go first:

- Not have a break down during my new degree
- Make new friends
- Keep up my exercise routine

What do you want to change in your lives this year, FS?

2013 has been an awesome year

[blueonblue]

Up early, no hangover, did laundry, made my word count. Now I just have to keep this going for another 364 days.

sigh.

one of my favorite quotes about new year's

[(Anonymous)]

The evening of the profound holiday drew much strength and unhappiness from such depths of the afternoon, the week, the year of unhappiness, and the lives that long had been lived. This secular holiday is full of pain because it is both an ending and a beginning. In this way, it participates in some of the strangeness and difficulty of both birth and death.

-- Delmore Schwartz, "New Year's Eve"

If you were visiting your country/area what would you want to see?

[(Anonymous)]

A friend from China is coming to visit me in UK at the end of January, and the things she wants to see and has heard of are generally not the things I'd have thought to show her.

She wants to go to Madame Tussauds and visit Lincoln for the cathedral. She's keen to shop in London, and wants to go to Selfridges but hasn't heard of Harrods. She really wants to go to Stratford upon Avon, but was rather nonplussed when I asked about Edinburgh.

I'm perfectly happy to take her where she wants to go, but I would equally like to use my experience to show her around.
Museums and the Dungeon over MT; York rather than Lincoln; Harrods, Liberty and Fortnum and Mason as well as Selfridges*; the literary tours, and other sights, of Edinburgh.

Anyway, it made me think. Has anyone else experienced this? In your experience is it better to show people what they want to see or what you think they'll enjoy? Do visitors to your area seem to want to see not the wrong things, but not the best things either?

*Maybe even Rigby and Peller
