*waves*
I feel as though this comic more or less sums up my fannish life for the last year or so. Still, I like feel like I'm inching my way back in. :) I'm on Twitter a lot these days, and I've been reading tons of fic. My pinboard has gotten a lot of action, and I'm tumbling all the things (mostly teen wolves and gerard fucking way, tbh) . I'm all registered for Wincon, which will be my first fan-only con, and the first conference I've been to that I'm not presenting at. I'm super excited about it! Is anyone else going?
Oh, and I'm also following the cotton-candy bingo, which is all fluff and sunshine and rainbows - no really, they have a bingo square marked sunshine and one marked rainbows - and it is delightful.
I'm consuming all the medias: I still have ~feelings~ about Scott and non-con in TW, which will hopefully turn into a real post someday. I'm watching Suits in almost-real time - I'm only a week or so behind, thanks to
fleete , and am engaging in a total re-watch of SPN. I've just started season 4, and wow, Cas. There's a reason his entry is so iconic. I'm really looking forward to the rest. Tumblr is making me watch all the stuff I meant to watch before and never got around to, like Whip It, which I just saw for the first time last week. :D And I'm working my way slowly through Mass Effect 3, so glad to see Garrus again! Apparently for 3 I want to be a big damn hero, because I'm Paragoning like my life depends on it, when I've been 50-50 up til now with my primary character (soldier fem!shep).
Musically I'm basically all Small Petunia of the Galaxy, all the time. Except that I am absolutely fucking obsessed with Azealia Banks; I bought the EP the other day and have been playing 212 non-stop. It is ammmmaaaaaaaazing omg. I just got distracted and watched the video again.
Otherwise, work is going okay, which is nice. I've started my fellowship for school, which means I don't have to teach for a couple of months - a whole term and a half! This is the first time since I started graduate school that I haven't had outside teaching responsibilities on top of my own research, and wow. Only having to think about your own work is...pretty incredible, to be honest. I've gotten so much work done I don't know what to do with myself. Its been a bit weird, setting my own schedule, and the result has been that I only work a few hours a day. I spend the rest of the day...on twitter, to be honest. I'd feel guilty except that in those few hours I manage to get pages and pages written, so. \o? Also, my advisors went on their own research leaves over the summer. We'll see how things go when the term starts up in a couple of weeks. O_o
In other other news, last week I got excited because I managed to read my flist twice. Its a work in progress.
ETA: In other recent news that has kept me awayfromthefandoms: I had a bee infestation in my apartment, which was, um, not the greatest few weeks of my life, because the buzzing was ongoing and deeply unsettling. And also my mother's father died, so there was travel for the funeral and also a lot of feelings. My mom and her dad didn't get along at all, and I primarily remember him as the person who taught me what racial slurs were (by using them). It is strange to think it is quite likely I'll never see that whole part of my family again, that my brother, my mom and dad & I have isolated ourselves so definitely from the rest of them.
