So...I've been working on the Frankenstory for a while now. The Frankenstory is the unofficial name of the X-Men WIP that I started two years ago and have been fiddling with ever since. I used to always write very linearly. Like, I could never even skip over scenes that were giving me trouble. But it turns out that that style of writing doesn't ( Read more... )

It's been ages since I posted on here, and I kinda miss it. So I thought I would post an update here. I'm pretty sure I still have crossposting set up with LJ, and I don't really feel inclined to turn it off right now, but I haven't really been using LJ except for reading old kink memes. I want to start using my DW more, though ( Read more... )

On Saturday night, our lights were flickering strangely and the neighbors' power went out entirely. I have no idea what was wrong, but four power trucks came out and we're working for hours ( Read more... )

My stomach started bothering me a little around dinnertime last night, I woke up with stomach pains at 4:00 AM (which didn't make easy to get a good night's sleep), and I've been feeling not great ever since. When I got home from work, I ended up sleeping for a few hours ( Read more... )

I had to dispose of some of my cats' toys, and wanted to get them some replacements. I remembered that I'd started knitting them some toy fish...five years ago ( Read more... )

So, I'm beginning to get concerned about the neighbor cat who's hanging around. For the past few days, she's been hanging around my house almost all day. It's after seven now, and she's still out back and doesn't seem to have any interest in going home ( Read more... )

A little while back, I wrote about a friendly neighborhood cat that came around and tried to befriend meI didn't see her around for a bit, but now she's back. She definitely belongs to one of the neighbors--I've seen her with them. And she has a collar on now, which is good. She's getting increasingly friendly. The other day, she discovered she can ( Read more... )

This morning, I was having a fun dream about getting hired as an extra on White Collar. I was really excited, I got to see some of the actors, and we were getting ready to shoot ( Read more... )

It was raining heavily today, and when I went outside, I found a young cat resting on a bench in my yard (one of the few places with cover from the rain. Poor thing was soaked, and extremely tame and sweet. I didn't want to get too close to her or touch her, just in case she had any illnesses of fleas that I could pass on to my cats, but the poor ( Read more... )

I decided to try going to the gym between classes, but now I'm thinking I don't want to make it a regular thing. It's not that I mind the gym itself--I like going, and I find it easier to focus on working out. But bringing gym clothes to school adds so much I need to carry and really adds bulk to my backpack. And even though I have the time, I end ( Read more... )
