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 !

Ah, my mysterious benefactor is revealed! Thank you so much - it's so sweet and generous of you.

I've had no luck editing my post. I sometimes find that switching to HTML, removing the bit of coding that I think means 'annoying space' and switching back to RT helps, but this time I lose a whole chunk of text whenever I try that. A ghost in the machine perhaps. Never mind - I shall not be down-hearted and shall instead find joy in imperfection!

I hope you enjoy the podfic - I think vee's reading is just lovely.

Much joy to you today and always!
