I'm picking this meme up again from fozzie33 because when I was reminded to check my map by his post I noticed that many of my friend's locations are completely wrong.  I know tootsiemuppet should be next to cygny in Belgium, but she appears in England instead, and according to this lekythen lives in the ocean somewhere west of the Outer Hebrides and both rowantree and mawlee live somewhere north of Alaska.  I wonder how the map comes up with these notions?

I'm trying to get all my Livejournal friends' locations plotted on a map - please add your location starting with this form. Username: (Then get your friends to!)

A reccomendation

It's an unfinished story (argh!) but I have to rec Lobelia Sackville-Baggins's Code of the Brandybucks, a slashy sort of alternate-universe or possibly pre-LOTR story written in a P.G. Wodehouse style with our favorite hobbits hanging around the manor house and gardens playing pranks and golf.  Lots of witty banter, romantic comedy and hot hobbit sex.  >:>  What's not to like?  Aside from the point that it's still unfinished.  But if lots of people leave her feedback, maybe someday she will.  It's been an effective distraction from my NaNo.  Now I'm putting up my Industrious icon to remind myself to get back to work.

Of course Paisley Doe is after Calico Jack, but it took me a long while to come up with a ship name.  Finally eor suggested The Hedgehog because "the ship's the only thing that can't be buggered at all."  :)
