Survived the week away, got home fine apart from one ten minute complete stop delay halfway over the mountains. The EDS conference was excellent, all family and friend interactions were pleasant and drama free, and I ran into an old high school friend I hadn't seen in probably 13 years and reconnected with her, so that was amazing and random and ( Read more... )

For those who used to RP in ask_twnz, one of the players, soberloki/Diaz passed away. Details are on her journal and the journal of her ex, who broke the news. I've lost contact with a lot of the players, even though there were only ever a handful of us, but I'm posting this in the hopes that some of you are still around and can pass the message on to the rest.

I just replied to a short email from my mother about my almost 30 year old middle brother *finally* moving out of home, and ended up with an epic summary of my life, so I'm copy-pastaing the whole thing here, because I haven't done a proper post in ages ( Read more... )

It's that time of year again, guys, so this is your friendly reassurance that nowhere near me is on fire. Admittedly, this year it's closer to home than the other year when it was a whole state away. I do have friends and family that are close to the fires. I grew up in Penrith, at the foot of the Blue Mountains which is where the big ones are ( Read more... )

I have S4 white collar and two bottles of cheap sweet white and you, you're all amazing. Thank you so much, all of you. New people, and people I've known for years and years. Some of you I've known since Sherlock, some since Torchwood, some since Potter, some since the multiplicity boards some since GNW/DAAS fandom, and beyond. One of you I've ( Read more... )

We watched Arthur Christmas, Winners and Losers, and White Collar, and ate cold ham and salad while the rain bucketed down outside most of the day. You may think that the weather is bad luck, but I am totally thrilled because it was way cooler than yesterday was. Death Cake was a massive hit, I think only about half of it's left, and I'm pretty ( Read more... )

Three sets of relatives. Two cities. Three days.

My icon is super relevant, because I'm REALLY not supposed to be on here today, I am supposed to be frantically packing the car, and then driving for seven hours.

I finished Copycat LAST NIGHT, and

If to-do lists and talk of self-improvement, etc. is not your thing, treat this as tl;dr and move along. Nothing to see here ( Read more... )

minisinoo has been inactive (retired from fandom/fanfic writing) for some time now, but because of spambots hammering her journal, she's going to be taking it down all together in just a couple of days time. Her website went down some time ago. Some of her fic is still archived at ff.net and an ebook website, but everything LJ is going to go very soon. ( Read more... )
