So I moved into Marc's place back in September. We spent several weekends unpacking and then hit a wall--no more room to unpack my stuff, and yet lots more stuff to unpack. After we got the kitchen organized and the second bedroom (formerly a repository for stuff) turned into a working office/guest bedroom), we stopped, assessed the situation, and ( Read more... )

Listen, all you wonderful people: I want to thank you most sincerely for all the hugs, sympathy, and support this week. Every comment and email helped me get through a truly shitty set of days. To those of you who shared your personal experiences I send a special pulse of gratitude. I haven't followed up with most of you--I may yet--but it helps ( Read more... )

Apparently it’s been six weeks since I last updated. Thanks to a Dragons for the nudge. I feel like I should say something about why I haven’t been updating… I guess the simple reason is that I’ve been really busy, and I tend to assume the stuff I’ve been busy with isn’t going to be all that interesting to people who aren’t me. Not that I ever ( Read more... )

So. Hi. I haven't posted in an age. Things have been nuts here since, like, forever, and it's only getting nutsier.

Here's a brief recap of me since July. ( nitty-gritties )

So. Hi there! I've been absent again, but this time I've been actually absent instead of just absent from LJ. Marc and I went on vacation on July 1 and just got back yesterday afternoon. We had an amazing trip during which many good things happened and many people I love were in the same spot and all got along and liked each other ( Read more... )

Okay, so RL is good. Very good, even. But, like, weird and freaking me out to an extreme. Or, kind of not, but that in and of itself is freaksome. Ugh ( Read more... )

See how I just made that word up? Crankiness and anxiety, both of which I'm suffering from today. Though it also kind of looks as if it could mean anxiety over cranberry products ( Read more... )

1. pdragon76 was here! She's awesome! And made me chili! And had the most memorable reaction to Cold Stone's apple pie ice cream ever. It was so very satisfying. Also? Impressive reactions to Ninja Flip Table. Thanks so much for gracing the hiyakitties and me with your presence. ♥ Thanks for the licorice and other treat you left me. xoxo ( Read more... )

I've been almost silent on the LJ front for a while now. I continue to have nearly nothing to say fannishly and for some reason have developed a thing where I feel weird about talking about my personal life here. Part of it, I think, is because LJ has always been primarily about fandom for me, and through fandom I've found these friends with whom I ( Read more... )

* That if I put lotion on my hands every single day, they stop cracking open at the knuckles. (To make myself sound like less of a moron, the reason I don't use lotion regularly is that I've developed random, free-floating allergies and at any moment can be reduced to fits of sneezing by lotions or other substances-wool, detergents, soaps, perfumes ( Read more... )
