assemble, reassessing, reassembly
So it's entirely possible that Avengers will be the thing that lures me back into online fandom...because at this point in time, all I want to do is grab virtual hands with everyone and jump up and down with glee over this movie and all it brought and all it implies.
To be honest, right now I'm just lurking the hell out of various kinkmemes, feeling glad that I'm far from the only person whose brain is working in particular, peculiar ways.
Work is somewhat stressful right now, but stressful in very different ways than the previous job was, so I keep trying to remind myself of the differences -- and of the shift in focus and impact this job means. However small my contribution, in the end I am ultimately able to have a positive effect on global education, and that makes up for a bit of uncertainty and stress.
Still glad to have moved to NY, though I miss Northampton and my friends there terribly. We have met some great geeky people here, J's moving ahead with planninga second branch of the store, I have concerts on the horizon, a very good friend is moving to the area, I have a good support network of people I love. I'm still sequestering myself away a lot, in part because of about a month of sheer dental hell, but am working to get myself out there more...I miss my writers' group, and have found one semi-locally that I might check out.
And OH GOD do I miss having slashy friends to squee with in real time. But, oh, internet, how you help make me feel less alone there...
Love to you all & hoping all is well. xo
