No question about that

If there is at least one person in your life who you consider a close friend, and who you would not have met without being part of an online fandom, post this sentence in your journal.

Snatched from rillathegrape.

There are many of you who I consider close friends, and I'd have never met you if it weren't for the Labyrinth and Harry Potter fandoms and the people they connected me with.

Advent is officially starting today. I'll try to leave late enough to have time to sit with my family with the first candle on the advent wreath burning. After that, I won't see them all again util Christmas. My first year being alone this time of the year. The only other time I wasn't with my family I was with my American "family". It will be strange this year.

Weird. Sometimes I get the feeling that I am much more emotional than the rest of my family. We're all no great huggers and kissers, but I personally need the feeling of having people who love me around me. And I guess they don't, at least not all that much.

Oh well, I don't feel like deep thinking right now. So something interesting and funny to end the post. This might be an idea what to do with all the old books my library has to throw out: Building with books.

Maybe your family doesn't know how to be demonstrative with their feelings. Maybe they've never learned how to do that. Maybe you could show them; you know, hug them first, and such, and maybe they'll catch on. I know several friends who have tried that and before long, it was a natural thing in their family to hug.

I guess I'll try that. Thanks. :-)
