I am an idiot for not realizing this sooner. I have a six-hour layover on my way back to Alaska next weekend, and I've been thinking "well, it's good writing time (though I won't be able to have access to the canon for my Yuletide assignment, which halfway defeats the purpose), but blargh". Only now it occurs to me that that's a layover that's ( Read more... )

Dear campus health services people,
I'm not pregnant. No, seriously, that's not even possible right now. ( Explanation of what the hell I'm talking about cut for possible TMI )

Got my Yuletide assignment. On the one hand, it's in the fandom I went back and forth until the last minute on whether to offer or not because I wasn't sure if I could do it justice. On the other hand, it was one of the prompts I noticed when trolling the Dear Yuletide Writer letters and flagged for treat possibilities. I'm a little intimidated, ( Read more... )

Me: *Stops to take a photo of a painting of an angel*
Mum: You only like it because it has wings.
Me: Yeah, so?
Wings is pretty *nod nod ( Read more... )

I have a new copy of Dragonflight. En francais.

That is all.

...Oh yeah, and I just got back from spending nine days in France. So awesome. Details later. For now I'm having far too much fun with my new book.

I is back! I has internet again! I is a happy Maia! I is using terrible grammar ( Read more... )

From 1/3, because although we were supposed to go to an internet cafe at some point, but it kept being pushed back until eventually it just never happened, so I had to wait all the way until coming home to do anything online.

Stupid HawaiiThis sounds like an incredibly ungrateful thing to say, but I’d much rather be home. For one thing, this trip ( Read more... )

This is what, my 7th day in Michigan? Yeah, something like that. And I promised my parents I'd write about it in my LJ so they could see it, but I haven't written since the first night. Bad Maia. *thwaps self ( Read more... )

Yesterday, oddly enough, felt pretty much like a normal day. I spent a little time packing, but the rest was as usual, and in the evening I IMed Lisa and Kelci and Jesse. And then at around the time I usually start getting ready to go to bed, Dad and I left for the airport ( Read more... )
