Right, first off apologies to all and sundry for vanishing off the face of the earth (well, the face of LJ anyway) but I needed time to regroup.
I'm also behind on drabbles because...well....not to put too fine a point on it, anything I touch in those fandoms (or anything other if I'm honest) turns to either blackest angst or porn. No inbetweens. I could blame this on
deannawol but that wouldn't be fair. Well, blaming her for the angst wouldn't be fair. ^_^
I'm taking a few minutes to write this now because I haven't written a me-post in a while and I feel the need to reduce my problems and worries to words on a page. Make them smaller, less real, less threatening. My dog hates me for it - he approves of the nocturnal thing only when I'm staying in my room and awake - and is pointedly snoring on the couch.
maeritrae is in Japan and I miss her. (Anyone pointing out that I could email her or something is being killed...not joking here.) I choke on conversations - my natural manner of conversation is a blind, headlong charge with brain wired directly to mouth. It only works if I don't think about the what or the subtones or start second guessing myself. Which is easy to do when you have only to look up the screen to do so. Still, I'm sure she'll have fun and enjoy herself and she does deserve a holiday.
My mother is threatening to haul me off to the doctor again - I'm getting "overly aggressive" apparently. Given Mum's profound skeptisim when anything like modern medicine is sugguested, I'm taking it as a hint rather than a proper threat. Which come to think of it, Mum doesn't do either. She doesn't believe in giving advance warning.
But anyway, I will restart spamming on Monday (Assuming I've nuked the porn/angst tribbles by then). In an attempt to do just that - I'm taking part in the
"Twenty Four in Forty Eight" Challenge with
deannawol.
It promises to be ...interesting.
