Tonke Dragt <3. Oh God, that book owned my soul. Should reread that too!

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

I loved Brief aan de Koning when I was a kid, but I never got around to reading the sequel. When her books were republished three years ago, I first had to have the one I remembered and then started collecting her scifi novels, a treat to read (and it's true what they say that stories about the future tell you more about the time they were written in than about what's going to happen; it's endearing how she envisioned communication in space back in 1969)
Now I finally got a hold of Geheimen van het Wilde Woud I want to reread Brief aan de Koning first:)

Hey, I wasn't sure where to put this, but I just got your defriending notice.... I'm not really sure what to say, I know I'm not around much (especially in the CSI fandom these days) but I still am sorry about it. If you're just doing a general tidy up, I understand, but I hope I didn't do or say anything to make you choose me in particular.

Um, I guess that's it.

Take care xoxox

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Part of tidying up, really. Nothing personal. I don't friendlock pages, so it's not to shut you out of my life. I'm just trying to limit my flist to journals I intend to read and respond to.

I'm still available by mail, by the way.

[serenity151979.livejournal.com]

That's completely cool. You're like me, I don't lock posts either!

I'd just hoped I hadn't upset you or something like that (I do tend to get paranoid... lol)

[onlyataxidermy.livejournal.com]

totally out of context and completely random but your disapproval of censorship was an automatic light bulb in my head and I had to add you.

[beelikej.livejournal.com]

Hey, random is awesome;) Welcome! Enjoy your stay:)
