(no subject)

My life consists of school and making applications right now (and wondering about writing competitions offline, too, which is why I'm not posting). Kind of stunned on the scholarship stuff, though; my school chose my application for one of the really big scholarships to nominate and I know for absolute certainty that others with vastly higher marks than I have applied. My friend has marks ranging between 96-100% (they all tend to be 100% or just below) so I'm still kind of wondering why they didn't pick her.

Kept trying to write a post about my hate for the word "chick lit" (let's denigrate a genre of women's fiction, again! For portraying...realistic people?) but can't. I'm watching metafandom interestedly--it's obvious, the impact that community has: one topic spreads like wildfire and many posts go up about x topic.
