2 things that I am currently crazy in love with and 2 that I am... not
Crazy in love:
1. Stéphane Lambiel and Daisuke Takahashi and the Chinese pairs as ice skaters, and pretty much everyone in the figure skating community as characters written by the tiny corner of figure skating rpf fandom that I have been swimming about in for the last few days. Now I just yearn for more more more more more fic, as I always do when I first fall for a fandom. I've been having to google a lot, though -- it's been upwards of a decade, decade and a half since I last paid even the tiniest bit of attention to figure skating, so there are lots of new participants to get to know. It's been fun remembering how much I used to love watching people skate.
2. Candy making. I've been experimenting with caramels (a lot of work, but worth it), and Baileys balls (like rum balls only not quite) were out of this world easy and delicious, as were cinnamon-sugar almonds. I think there might be toffee in my future. And more Baileys balls, in white and milk and bittersweet chocolate. And possibly some cookies and brownies and rice krispie bars... *rubs hands together gleefully*
Crazy in hate:
1. I've been a totally irresponsible fandom lurker recently -- I haven't even managed to properly thank the people who commented on the stories I wrote for Yuletide! There's a ton of fic fb I still need to leave from the past month at least, and I've been reading lj so sporadically I feel quite out of the loop. I think that I'd probably be in better mental health if I fixed this.
2. I've been totally irresponsible in my non-fandom life, too. I don't really know how to explain the listlessness and lack of direction; I'm happier than I've been in a long time... it's just that that's not enough to be completely healed and actually functional, I guess. But I think I'll get there. Possibly even soon. I hope.
