My period arrived very late last night/very early this morning, which on the one hand, it's five days early, what the hell, but on the other, it means I won't be fretting about getting it on my first day of jury duty (if I do indeed have to report to court on Monday). Timing really is everything, I suppose ( Read more... )

I am used to having four things open and being able to write here and there as I am moved and then ( Read more... )

I think it bears repeating that remixredux09 is not a gift exchange ficathon. You do not have to write to your remixee's tastes, desires, requests, or prompts. Your remixee has already written her story. Remix is your chance to write your version of it ( Read more... )

Especially since I don't have access to gmail at work and so luzdeestrellas has to keep me updated throughout the day, and she's awesome at that (I have to refrain from emailing her every two minutes asking "WHAT'S NEW?" and "NOW?" and "HOW ABOUT NOW?" It's more like every ten minutes.), but I am ready to ( Read more... )
