This time with prompts from scarvenartist! (As previously, if anyone else cares to leave me more topic prompts or wants to get some prompts from me, just let me know in the comments!)

Cupcakes: I am... surprisingly torn on the subject of cupcakes. On the one hand, they can be, and often are, Excellent. But on the other hand, they often seem oddly less... well ( Read more... )

So, cairistiona7 was doing the "random topics" meme and gave me some topics so I could join in the fun. :D (If anyone else cares to leave me more topic prompts or wants to get some prompts from me, just let me know in the comments!)

Breakfast: I LOVE breakfast foods. So many different things that're among my faves, from sweet and almost dessert-like to ( Read more... )

So! Back from our annual cabin trip - aka Reading Binge Time - with some thoughts on the books I read.

This trip felt, in some ways, really different from past. Partly just all the changes happening right now (my brother’s fiancee was able to come for part of the trip), partly the fact that, despite best efforts to step away for some peace and ( Read more... )

Finished my black belt screening, and I didn't actually collapse. Was pretty sure I was going to for a while there, but I didn't. XD I won't know what the verdict is until... Saturday, probably. But right now I'm feeling pretty good about how I did, all things considered, so I'm hopeful. If I passed, that'll be four of the seven down, three to go ( Read more... )

Well, I've officially got whatever nasty cold Nef's been down with this week. Going to sparring anyway today was maybe not the smartest decision I've ever made, but since I knew it'd be a couple weeks until I could get to it again ( Read more... )
