Celebration Post! (sort of)
No...not really. It's just that LJ is working again ( well...er...mostly), so I thought I'd do a tiny jiggy dance thing.
Or maybe not. You know, if that frightens you.
So, I've been totally busy for some time now. Beside my friend's wedding in Arizona, I had a family wedding in PA to attend, and that one took me a little over two weeks of mad fun to get through. It seems all of my cousins are taller than I am now, but I've been expecting that for some time anyway, seeing as I'm only a little over 5' 2". Within my immediate family, I have ambitions to be the smallest and the oldest of the siblings--it's iffy, though, since my youngest sister is really very tiny and may stop just short of me. *sniffle*
Also, my mother was in the hospital literally the day we got back, so it's been a bit crazy for the last little while. Nice to be back, though.
On the coming move: It looks like I might be staying in Ft. Myers after all, for a quite few reasons that are more textured than I first thought. While a part of me just rants and shrivels in horror and hate at this strong possibility, another part of me is gearing up to view this as a challenge. After all, it's not location that a happy life makes--or so it's supposed to go. Since a lot of it is up to me, I'll just have to see about making as much of the me part of the equation work as possible.
And then there's this. My brother is determined that the four oldest siblings in our family do this after he gets back from Texas.
Considering how incredibly out of shape I've become over the past year, I'm a little afraid. On the other hand, considering how out-of-shape I've become over the last year, I'm a little excited, too. In a deeply horrified kind of way. XD
In writing news: I've been working on my fanfiction, yes. (Still rewriting (over and over) the next chapter of Sachi. It's amazing, I tell you, how many different ways that conversation can go. )
But most importantly, I've been working on some original fiction, which feels really good. I've got a whole bunch of pans in the planning fires, and one or two in the writing ones. As of yet, they sound great conceptually, but suck in the actual execution. But we'll see. Nano approaches on the horizon as well. I won't fail this year. Just wait and see. :-P
I won't give up!
