Tired today. Stressy week in a mild way and IBS flare means every meal is a bit of a trial just now (I don't talk about this here because, yuk, but for me stress leads very directly to the bathroom. Tedious). Watching the Voice just now in a haze, tearing up over the naked hope on the faces of families of the competitors. The once homeless man who now supports people finding employment. The trans kid with a wonderful sound who finds people can't get past how he looks. *weeps pathetically*
Is anyone going to Nine Worlds (UK con)? I might. Got a #ff yesterday on twitter for the first time from someone who doesn't simply rec me as a good source for my job. He says I tweet 'regular, entertaining, interesting geeky tweets.' That I live in a world where geeky follows interesting and entertaining so logically makes me happy. Nine Worlds looks massive though, and a touch scary.
Friends who have hibernated for January are coming out of the woodwork and I may have some kind of social life soon. Would be nice. My writing binge has subsided, though I have 13,330 words towards a big bang so I'm not panicking about that. I really, really can make the minimum word count even if I just go little and often from now on. And I think it won't be a whole lot longer than that, 25k maybe?
Another story, I'm having issues with because I've set up a situation that could just roll along indefinitely, with everyone slightly unhappy but no pressure to change. And I don't want a deus ex machina crisis. So I need a naturally occurring crisis in a stable state. Eurgh.
Meanwhile, a Belgian drama starts on BBC4 tonight. Op vlaams! Woot! (Salamander, for you who have access to Belgian telly. Hope it's decent.)
