writing chat update + 30 days of me!
Okay, guys! The poll's run about 24 hours now and jfc, twenty-seven people responded. That's pretty much the most ever. Lots of new people, too! Granted, usually about three less people than the number that RSVP to any particular chat actually participate, but still! Crazy pants!
Anyway, based on the poll, most people prefer weekend evenings, with weekday and weekend nights coming in a close second. SO. Here's an exact poll to see when the most people are available next week.
(Keep in mind, you can always come late or leave early if you need to.)
Poll writing chat time again!
Anyway, I'm excited! I hope you guys are too!

In other news, everyone is doing that 30 Day meme and I was waffling about it, but I seriously love reading about all your lives, and then bethfrish posted that she loved reading everyone's lives too, so I thought I'd give it a go. I'll try to stick it at the bottom of other, substantive posts so you can just keep going if you don't care to read it XD
Day 01 - Introduce Yourself
My name is Kait, which is short for Kaitlyn, not just a hippiedippie way of spelling "Kate." (It is pronounced the same way, however.) I guess I should start with the fact that I answer more readily to "Kait" or "Kaitlyn" than my username. I grew up in New Jersey, in a fairly diverse but generally typical middle class suburban town. My parents are still together and I have a younger brother, but I suppose I'll talk about them later in the meme.
I'm twenty-five. I have a degree in Creative Writing from Purchase College. Um, it seemed like a good idea at the time. I worked for three years at The Bookstore when I graduated, working my way up to Lord High Dictator of the Children's Department, before quitting about... six weeks ago? Ish. To move to Boston! Where I live now! With mcwonthelottery!
I'm currently unemployed and really sort of desperately looking for work. So if you know anyone in the Boston area who is hiring entry-level admin-y type shit, let me know. I will bake you a fucking cake if you manage to help me get a job.
Um, what else? I really love bad things. Bad movies, bad fic, crappy novels... all sorts of bad things. Mostly because I find them hilarious. Outside of bad things, my interests include dinosaurs, cupcakes, children's lit, horror movies, indie-vaugely-hippie-ish singer/songwriters, television, time travel, daleks, Olivia the pig, being a jerk, reading the internet, writing a whole bunch of different types of stuff, and talking excitedly about crap I like.
In real life, I am vacillate between incredibly socially awkward and being the person to break the ice, depending on how bad my social anxiety is. If it's only moderately bad, I act out in order to hide it. If it's cripplingly bad, I am probably assuming that you hate me and want me to leave the conversation and wish you never met me, so I am being quiet and trying not to beg for validation. Once I know you, I lack all social grace and shame. Ask mcwonthelottery.
I guess the only thing left to tell you is that the only thing I know for sure is that Stonehenge is a terraforming device left behind by beings from another time.
And that I have a hat that looks like a frog.
