Random list of joyful things

[leafy]

*I've been podficced! The ever lovely 

vsee has made a recording of a story I wrote for ds_flashfictionlast year - Five Times Ray Kowalski Tried To Make Someone Feel At Home (Even If It Didn't Always Work).  It's such an honour and a thrill to hear Vee's beautiful, gentle voice read something I wrote and I couldn't stop smiling with JOY as I listened to it. *hearts Vee*

*I betaed for the first time this week.  I was a little nervous about not having done it before but I really enjoyed being thinky about  akamine_chan's fantastic story Spiders From Mars - and having a sneak preview of it! The fact that it also hit my space kink and my competent!Ray kink was just a bonus really... *hearts aka*

*We had an 'if you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours' rule in my class today.  *hearts my smiling class*

*The biography of Michael Collins I ordered arrived today.  He may not have actually walked on the moon but I reckon he's still way cooler than Neil or Buzz..   I mean, he claims to be a veteran member of Athletics Anonymous - 'that stellar organisation which, when you feel the urge to exercise, will send someone over to drink with you until you return to your senses.' *hearts Michael Collins* 

ETA - I can't work out how not to have that annoying space in the top line - but I'm refusing to let it squash my joy!

ETA 2 - I've just received an lj gift certificate but I don't know who from! I can only assume it's from one of my dear flist, so thank you very very much - whoever you are!  j_s_cavalcante !

Whooo! Congrats on your first beta job, Leafy! Your first time is really scary, but I'm sure you did a fabulous job. akamine_chan's story sure turned out well, and you should be very pleased to have had a role in helping to shape the fic. Go YOU!

And I'm so happy vsee recorded your story. I ADORE that fic, and it will be great to hear her gorgeous reading. (She does have an amazing, and amazingly gentle, voice, you're right). This was indeed a List of Joy, and thank you for sharing it with us.

I was really lucky for a first time beta - aka's story was already so good that I only made a few minor suggestions but it felt like such a gift having someone share their story with me at that early stage.

I'm so happy that vee recorded that story too and I hope you enjoy it.

*heaps joy upon you*
