One of my uncles died a few days ago. He was in his seventies and he's my father's younger brother, so that lets ya'll know just how old my parents are (and how late they had me. We're talking almost-miracle pregnancy for my mom terms). I knew him pretty well, though I hadn't seen him in the last decade due to the fact that we lived on different ( Read more... )

So. Ya'll know that radio silence post about the weird and wacky and crappy stuff that's been going on in the life of D? Well. Heh. So. My father fell on Friday and it's a fucking miracle he didn't crack his head open on the door on the way down. He's stiff and sore and can barely walk now, due to bruises and a nasty turned ankle. The one aunt that ( Read more... )

So. After receiving some lovely emails (and some not so lovely but hah, I'm ignoring those) I realized I've been pretty damn radio silent since bitching about home life a while ago.

What's been going on that could strip me away from writing? Well. Here's the long version. Under the cut.

Over the last year I have gotten several (mostly kind, respectful and not cranky) emails and comments asking me about my fic and where the hell (my words) I've disappeared to. I should probably put this up here somewhere, so I can kind of explain what's been going on in the life of D ( Read more... )

So, okay. To get this out there and out of the way, I have two medical Issues that, when managed properly, are annoying at times but mostly harmless. These are purely medical issues, and not the anxiety et all crap that I do have, but am not officially medicated for (not that the anxiety isn't a medical issue, but I consider it more of a head thing ( Read more... )

So, yesterday being...well. Yesterday. At some point in the evening I wandered out (with my blanket still firmly over my head) to have this particular exchange with Himself ( Read more... )

So, I was in the car with my father, Crazy Uncle Bob and the Dog. We were on a Road Trip to a place about sixty miles away. My father, for reasons I have yet to understand my entire life, will, occasionally, break out into song ( Read more... )

So. I know a lot of people are wondering where the hell the fic is, and I do apologize for the long gap. A couple of months ago my parents brought home Crazy Uncle Bob who is, well, crazy as a bag of cats on speed. Now, Bob's one of my dad's seven brothers. I happen to be one of the two people in the entire family Bob will voluntarily speak to for ( Read more... )

So, my mother calls me today:

Mom: Bree had the baby!

Me: Nnng, what?

Mom: Bree! BABY! (babbles on about the length and size, etc) You have to come pick me up tomorrow!

Me: I gotta do what?

Mom: DG. It's a BABY. We have to go buy BABY CLOTHES.

Me: orly?

Mom: [my full name]

Me: I have work.

Mom: You work from home. Pick me up tomorrow around eleven.

Me: ...( ( Read more... )

Odd, I could have sworn I'd already transcribed some of my xmen fic. Looks like I didn't. The one I posted before on jezebel_rising must have been lost in the Great Computer Hijack. Huh. I should probably transfer that over to AO3, too.

...And, you know, post more of the AU fic. Which I have and there's more coming, it's just been really, really, really bad in RL ( Read more... )
