Poll a fate worse than death?draft #8 of my ladies_fest story (due on sunday!) is by far the furthest along, but doesn't quite fit the prompt. but since i wrote the prompt, you can imagine how concerned i am. (it's still about hannah!) (draft #7 involved reading the entire transcript of "the girl in the fireplace" and trying to figure out how the fuck an owl would find a witch ( Read more... )

i had a relatively quiet birthday weekend this year, but after the insanity of d*c (so good! i felt like i actually got to spend time with everyone this year, which was awesome since i kind of love all your faces) and this summer (UGH WORK, i am so glad manager is back though, let me tell you) it was pretty much just what i needed ( Read more... )

this weekend has been pretty fabulous! it's basically exactly what i needed after the month or so of freaking out about harry potter in all of my spare time. PLUS i haven't done any crafting since leakycon, so that's a nice break. (crafting starts again next week though. i need to fix the sleeves on my pygmy puff shirt, paint helga's cup, figure ( Read more... )

leakycon's over and i have over a month til dragon*con, so i'm actually going to do some relaxing and cleaning and sleeping now. i hope. the short version: sewing a dress was stressful, but not as hard as i thought it would be. leakycon and lit day were alright, but the wizard rock and craping basically made everything perfection. i think i liked ( Read more... )

i see most of you on twitter/tumblr every day, which makes my motivation to read lj even lower than usual. i think i'm going to try to blog (and therefore read) every day in july. there'll be a lot going on, so i'll hopefully have stuff to talk about? eh, we'll see ( Read more... )

jersey: was great! i spent a lot of time tormenting my cousins / hanging out with my parents / shopping. i'm a little sad that i won't get to see them all til thanksgiving (matt is just SO MUCH BIGGER every time i see him! i like tiny children when they're his age, especially when they're fearless little shits) but at least the time until then will ( Read more... )

i finally got around to posting my pygmy puff earrings on etsy yesterday (check 'em out here. if any of y'all want a pair, let me know and i'll set up a coupon thing for you ( Read more... )

BASICALLY: i will handmake something for the first six people to sign up and i will mail it by the end of the year. most of the things i make are either fannish or delicious. odds are really good that you will get a t-shirt or a baked good when i panic in november because i haven't made anything for you yet, but still! people love t-shirts and ( Read more... )

01. i have, in fact, watched that damion suomi video approximately a million times this weekend. i spent at least an hour this morning saying "i'm gonna hit play then get out of bed while i listen to it" but instead pressing play and then watching it again. IT IS JUST SO GOOD. (so is this one.)

02. yesterday i watched the first half of firefly ( Read more... )

01. jesus christ, the book thief. i sobbed. i love everyone in the book, and i could have easily read 400 more pages of them all trying to live their lives. i am still so happy that i randomly decided to finish the book at home one night instead of during my lunch break at work, because i definitely would not have been able to handle reading that ( Read more... )
