The tell me what to write meme! I don't guarantee anything, of course, but it's always fun to see what people can come up with XD

Okay, so I finished The Sandman today. Awww, I didn't want it to end ;___; The Kindly Ones (vol. 9), especially, was just astounding. Along with the fabulous art (it was one of the best drawn volumes in the entire series), the story was just incredibly well written - it was a fine conclusion, you know? bringing together so many loose ties from the earlier volumes, and wrapping them all together under a single storyline. Matthew, especially, I adored, and I was really glad to have his character developed.

I just -- I really love this series. It's daunting and epic and chilling at times, heart-warming at others... This is fantasy at its best, and I love how believable it is, even when we're seeing Delirium walk her pet fish, or listening stories about a man old enough to be Mathusalen. It's very human, surprising for a story about definitely non-human characters. ♥

ANYWAY! I just got cards from [livejournal.com profile] terraneanblues, [livejournal.com profile] such_heights, [livejournal.com profile] pink_faerie81, [livejournal.com profile] aileene25 and [livejournal.com profile] melandry!! OMG I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH!! ♥ ♥ they're all awesome and beautiful and I feel so very loved right now. :))

You forgot the <*/a> tag.

Also, have you received mine yet? People in Brazil and Phillippines have received them, and you're in the same continent, lol X-D

Haha, yeah, I just noticed XD It's all fixed now.

No, I haven't. Packages seem to come awfully late in here - it's like, people at the mail wait until they have a reasonable amount of them to save themselves the gas, or something. *eyeroll*

Were you the one who filled out my poll?


:-P Man, that would really bring the post office to a grinding halt. Have you read Terry Pratchett's Going Postal?

Eesh, and I thought Terra was going to win in the most overdue card from me stakes - apparently not! Glad it got there in the end, though.

Haha, yeah, mail's so frustrating for me as well XD

LoL! You mean the package I sent actually got there that much more quickly than the card? *boggles* 0.o

Haha, I KNOW!! Mail is so odd XD

Yay! I'm glad it got there. I've had bad luck with the post to Mexico before, so I was worried.

[identity profile] nekare.livejournal.com 2007-01-20 06:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and it was GORGEOUS! I liked it lots. :)

LOL, I am glad you liked the card :) We finally have more snow up here, so I am going to take some pictures in the next few days and email some to you.

Delight.
The poor girl's name is Delight, was Delight, and will always be Delight. And no, she doesn't have a say in that.
But yes, I loved Sandman, too, especially the last chapter was great - maybe because I like Hob, even with all his faults.

Cards? Did I miss something? If yes, I'm sorry.

[identity profile] nekare.livejournal.com 2007-01-20 06:28 pm (UTC)(link)
But really, we probably wouldn't love her as much if she had remianed Delight. I would so love to see her and Death in some sort of one-shot or something - they must be AWESOME together. :) Mmm, dunno, I really like Hob, always have, but the last two issues felt a bit... anticlimatic. Like, it would've been better to end it with a bang, just after Morpehus wake. *shrug*

Haha, no, only Christmas XD
