I hate to say it, but my presence on Livejournal and Dreamwidth and even InsaneJournal is going to be less and less. A few bad apples spoiled the entire barrel. I don't feel safe, and I don't know when I will. I can't afford a paid account on any of the sites anymore, and I don't really know why I would want one anymore.

When I don't feel safe, I ( Read more... )

Unoriginal title, I know, considering what most of the country looks like today. It looks like we got more than a foot, though it's hard to tell with some of the drifts being waist-high. It's above our knees out in front of the building. I'll have a few pictures up soon-ish ( Read more... )

Today is supposed to be the coldest this winter. It hasn't gotten there yet. Temps are still in the low 20's ( Read more... )

I missed you guys. I am back, though today I am very busy away from the computer, as predicted. I also have 2 weeks worth of disappointing reports to do for artistsway_lj. And my yearly goals assessments will be late too. And I have a fic to type for a challenge that won't make it by the deadline, but darnit, I wrote it already.I just couldn't get it typed and ( Read more... )

Some of you may know that I am doing the Artist's Way program with a few friends. Well, this week I am not supposed to read anything at all, including newspapers and blogs (and RP *sobs*). I am compromising the best I can. I actually dropped entirely from two games and I'm going on a week long semi-hiatus from the others. I feel too obligated to ( Read more... )

I know the world is a different place than it was when George RR Martin was a comic fan and budding writer, but the fact that he started publishing in fanzines first just gives me heart. I don't know why. And the record of different things he's worked on. When people first started talking about A Song of Ice and Fire around me. I kept running the ( Read more... )

The other day in class I was challenged to find 50 things I was thankful for that day. This is my list. It was Tuesday. I may have time to do today's list later in the day.( 50 things )

NC may still happen, but it's not going to happen before Christmas. That, by itself, is a relief. I'll hunt down and answer Christmas card things now. I don't know if we can afford to send many out ourselves.

Thanks guys, for answering my question so quickly and thoroughly. I will no longer look askance at them, and may look at the journal as a possible venue for a thing I've been trying to write for a few years now (i.e., something scholarly about fiction and people who follow it ( Read more... )

Yesterday was interesting and sadly, not terribly fun. It was me and Cantropos's 4th anniversary, but we haven't time to celebrate. We mostly played a bit of Dynasty Warriors when he got home. We still can't get the last item at He Fei Castle. We killed all the officers we were supposed to last night, but missed something with the rams so no ( Read more... )
