First, even though I did get to tell you in person yesterday, I want to again say:

Happy (now belated, but I saw that you were carrying your celebrations over into a second day) birthday, drinkingcocoa!

And then:

Happy birthday (this one only belated in my time zone), shyfoxling!You are both awesome and giving and brilliant and just generally all-around made of win! ( Read more... )

The trip from Philly to twilightsorcery's place in NY was easy and uneventful -- but cold! We would have a huge temperature drop just for the one day that I have to go out in the city in reasonably nice clothes at night. My nose has been running nearly non-stop for thirteen hours and it still hasn't stopped. Ugh.

The other downer of the day was that ragdoll wasn't ( Read more... )

ORAL EXAM: PWNED.

Actually, that's probably a bit of an exaggeration. I think it's more accurate to say that it was mediocre, but I passed anyway. :P Nonetheless, a pass is a pass, and it's DONE.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR YOUR GOOD THOUGHTS AND SUPPORT! I have the best f-list in the world! ♥ ♥ ♥

Whew! It's been a busy weekend. I've wanted to update, but haven't had a chance to do it! But now I'm just sitting here with a banana with Nutella and a cup of coffee while waiting for laundry to dry, so I'll give a quick summary of the highlights.

The short version is that twilightsorcery got married yesterday here in Philly (congrats!), and ragdoll and its_art came into ( Read more... )

So much for the live blogging! After my last post, things turned into one big, awesome blur. I'm going to try to report as much as I can, but I'm sure I'll leave a ton of stuff out!

When we last left our intrepid adventurers, blueberry pancakes had been eaten and torino10154 had just arrived ( Read more... )

I'm here at the DC Slash Retreat at venturous1's awesome place. We also have lesyeuxverts00, entrenous88, and la_dissonance (and what's up with all the Francophiles, yo?), with more arriving tomorrow!

It's like a daily_deviant meet-up here! :D

I was the earliest arrival, so venturous1 picked me up at the train station and we took a bit of a scenic drive and walked through the Congressional ( Read more... )

As I mentioned in my last (brief) post, a long-time friend from Oklahoma (dano_140) just came to visit Philly for a week. He wanted to do some touristy-type things while he was here, and I figured I'd take advantage of the opportunity for me to see/do them as well. (Because, when you live in a place, you figure you have plenty of time to see stuff, and ( Read more... )

So, my brain has finally caught up with my body and I'm starting to be productive again. Yesterday I managed to go to the bank, the pharmacy, and the grocery store, email my advisor, walk the puppy, AND get a solid start on a Snarry fic! ::is proud of self:: Oh, and I'm in the process of downloading the first season of Merlin so I can see what ( Read more... )
