Why yes, I exist.
Sorry sorry sorry. Busy crazy killer past weeks. Even this week was interesting with the random unexplained neck pain that radiated to my skull that gave me near migraine headaches (I've never had a migraine, so I have nothing to compare it to). I still don't know how I got it of what caused it, though I do know that Hydrocodone helps. My neck is still a bit tender and gets tired easily, but popping Aleve like it's candy seems to help. I just wish my metabolism didn't work through pain meds so fast.
Life is going well. Thanksgiving is around the corner and I'm SO EXCITE. Kit and I are going to his parents' place for Thanksgiving so I can have Christmas with my family this year (I'm hoping it'll snow like it did last year. I really want to skate on the pasture pond!). This also means that I'm going to write. Yes, I am. I've been squeezing out a page or two every few days for something or other but this will be a four day weekend, allowing me to maybe get my stuff in a digital copy so I can share it with the rest of the world. Also, after Thanksgiving, more of my evenings will be free since I'll be done with two of my three night classes. This weekend is going to be great though. My best friend from junior high is coming over for the weekend. We reunited back in July and it's like she hasn't been gone for nearly a decade. Also, it gets her out of the house since she got laid-off right before she had her baby last month. And! I get to help her with the baby since I have lots of experience despite not having any of my own, technically. I can't wait to see how the cats react to the baby. It's their -- and Kit's really -- first one. I feel a little evil throwing all of them into this, but not enough to feel bad about it.
School's not bad either. I'm kicking ass and taking names in my labs. I'm a practical learner, so it makes so much sense why I'm fantastic in physics lab but not in class. I'm also reassured that I will be getting B's in two of my classes and physics will be a solid C, maybe a skin-of-the-teeth B but I'm not going to start dreaming about that pie in the sky just yet. I'm already scheduled for the next semester and at the cost of extra hours at work, I'm not taking three night classes! This means I can get my climbing membership with the university's rec center and get back into rock climbing since I hate going to a gym and working out -- it feels so pointless, that I'm not accomplishing anything. Walk home? Yes, I exercise and go somewhere. Rock climbing? Heck yes and when I get better at it, I can go to state parks and do it (mmm, nature). Yay practicality.
On another note, my muse has done it again. I have a new story in my head that's developing, which is great and all, but this one is a challenge. It's yaoi, or slash, or whatever you want to call it -- though I still don't know if there will be actual sex in it, but there is going to be male-male romance. I've never written something like this before. I mean, sure, there's the couple of fanfics I've written for Jessie and Alice that are about a gay couple, but it's fluff or flirting, no actual action of any kind. I'm kind of nervous since I don't know how to go about it. I read yaoi and gay literature, but there's that whole difference of reading and doing. For all my authors, artists and lovelies out there who dabbles in this area, what kind of advice would you give someone who's never written any kind of actual slash?
