- I'm fairly drunk right now, which seems like a totally appropriate condition in which to update my LJ after months. Dudes, it will be my 12th LJversary in about a week. I'm learning to accept fandom's move to Tumblr, but we've been here a long-ass time ( Read more... )

- I have a cold. I always get a cold about a week before my period (no, I have no idea why) but I cannot afford to have one now when I need to cook. I'm going to break out my mom's old face masks.
