I'm feeling definitely mopish tonight.

I broke down and ordered The Firefly Companion Volume two. I was going to wait till I went to the US in December. But couldn't - so now I'm paying $49.95AUD ($41.40USD) plus postage since the closest place that had it is 1500kms away. It'd better be good...

Today/yesterday was the closing date for the story writing competition I was going to enter and I didn't send my entry. For the second year running *grrrr*

The little guy is growing again and having hormone attacks ie having hurt feelings over everything, yelling at everyone, etc and got sent home from school today...

icon LOVE for BigBadMike!

Watch out for those boy!hormones, they're pains in the pigu...

But you should have TOLD me how much you were paying! I would have got one for you a lot cheaper and sent it to you :( It's good though! We must all sacrifice for love, you know.

Can you still send your entry in late?

Oh! Mopish is no good, especially when I'm on duty, lol. *thinks of things to cheer you up* *SENDS YOU BOOKS*

Ha, fangirls are the best! *cheers you on*

I think we should have our own story competition. Yes, this would solve the problem. Hell, I might even get inspired, lol! We could call it Amnesty All The Time, or some such, and it could be for all of the things we miss out! And all our friends would read them and say "Yay, awesome stuff!" and we would be happy. *grins*

Oy. I think I recall my youngest brother being like that. Not so much my middle brother, as when he was grumpy he wouldn't stay around people. Hormones aren't fun for anyone, I suppose. I can't imagine that part of raising a child and since I'm not a mom I haven't any advise. But I hope you and he find a way to channel that energy somewhere, if only to give you both a break from the feelings.

*hugs* Good luck, hon!

*offers chamomile tea*

It IS good. It's still on my wishlist, but I got the chance to look at a friend's copy. Still, *points above* remember we (your US flisters) can help you get things at US price. That said, though, I would have done it, too, if I hadn't already gotten to read it. Fangirls must. Hee.

There seems to be a spreading sickness among muses these days. Ruh roh.

Oh, dear...

Dude, you should have TOLD me you were going to order it! I thought you were going to wait too. I just ordered it yesterday. Of course, with exchange rates, it might have been the same, I don't know. You don't understand time, and I don't understand exchange rates.

Sorry about the boy. I don't know how you're going to survive it, I know I couldn't do it.

Hey, glim has a great idea about that, why not start your own original writing competition on LJ? I would help. I don't know how it would work, but it's a thought.

*pokes your mope* Away with you!! (erm, the mope.. not you)

You should definitely share your entry with us - I would still love to read it :)

Gah!hormones >_

[cheshire-monkey.livejournal.com]

*hugs you*

I'm with the wise ones above, if there is anything you want from Amazon or whatever - just let us know. It'll probably be MUCH cheaper. However, it IS good - you won't be disappointed.

Oh no - hormones SUCK. The poor guy - that must be hard. *sending hugs to you both*

[meimei42.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Sorry about the story thing. Next year maybe? And then you'll wipe the floor with the competition with your fabulous fic!

I hope the companion is good too, I intend on getting mind soon.

Sorry about the child. He's a good kid though. Every kid goes through these phases. Well except me, I was a PERFECT child. Oh stop laughing would you? I really was. Anyway, all you can do is love him and show him the right path. Take care hon, sorry you're having a mopish day. :(

[meimei42.livejournal.com]

And can I just add, I totally second this idea. I would love to write some original fic for a challenge! How much fun would that be?

Re: icon LOVE for BigBadMike!

[bookaddict43.livejournal.com]

Boy hormones *blech*. And he's only 9! Imagine the teenage years *wilts*.

Next time I will tell someone don't you worry! But it'll be worth it to gaze at Jayne and all things related to him...

Love your Packing heat icon! Mike's so cool...

[bookaddict43.livejournal.com]

Channelling the energy sounds good *nods*. This is the non-swimming term, I wonder if it's related...You've given me something to think about there!!

Books are a great thing to send. You can never have too many I think.

The story competition might work, others have expressed an interest. Keep watching this space...

I do so love being a fangirl *cheers with you*, though I'm still astounded that I am one :D

[bookaddict43.livejournal.com]

Chamomile tea sounds good and I've even got some in the cupboard! *brews it*

I had to have it *sigh*. I've never been this fannish before - I'm still getting used to it...

Oh dear is right...But I have years of experience in my families' volatility, I just have to find the right key. Cross your fingers for me :)

[bookaddict43.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking about the writing competition. But if I do it I'm remembering your offer *pokes you*. So be ready.

I'm not sure how much the book was in the US, but you could be right. And once you factor in postage as well...

I could have waited - but a fangirl's gotta do what she must to obtain her fix.

[bookaddict43.livejournal.com]

Your poking worked the mope has gone for the time-being! Thank you.

Part of the reason I didn't send it was cause it needed tweaking. But when I've done that I'll post it and you all can tell me what you think...

Yes hormones are not our friends. I want them gone :)

[bookaddict43.livejournal.com]

I love that icon! I often want a hugs one :)

I'm glad it's good, now I just have to wait till it arrives in the mail. But next time I'll alert my US flisters and get it that way instead...

Thanks for the hugs *hugs back* and *hugs from the little guy* - we both need them right now. He's only 9, poor kid, but he just grows and grows.

[bookaddict43.livejournal.com]

You were the perfect child? I often heard about one of them *frowns* *giggles*. He is a good kid we just have to work through this...

I just wasn't confident enough about the story. *nods* there is always next year. I'll just concentrate on getting it in before wiping the floor *chuckles*.

I'm thinking about the fic competition - you never know what I might do!!

Love the hugs icon. Like I told cheshire_monkey I've always wanted one.

[cheshire-monkey.livejournal.com]

Well, that hugs icon is available over here at one_eyedwilly. My other hug icons are BSG, but I'll keep my eye out for a Firefly one (do you have a preference of person?) I could always make you one if you know what picture you want. =D

[bookaddict43.livejournal.com]

How did I miss that one? I'm gonna go snag it right now! Also I'd love a Jayne one, of course, but don't think he ever hugged anyone. Any Firefly one would be wonderful *clasps hands in delight*

[glimmerite.livejournal.com]

You've given me something to think about there!!

Well, good! I happen to love kids but I do know how crazy they can get when they put their minds to something. So you just have to change their focus a bit. *nods* In theory, it's a GRAND idea. It's the practice thereof that needs the work, lol!

Hee! Too true!

Ha ha ha! *twirls* I figured. *snorts* We are the story-sharing group after all... I seem to get half-baked ideas alot, if you find a way to fix this up then lots of people would be happy. And I would, too. XD

Ha! I understand that! My parents are on Step One: Buying Shows on DVDs Religiously. I doubt either of them will turn into the lovely "fan type" that we are, but at least they have a basis now for what I am - if I told them, lol!

*sends another hug - with icon*
