I'm having a pretty lousy day. Mostly I just feel like crap. Last night, I stayed up all night and was working on my thesis and then sort of had a breakdown in the middle of it, trying to figure out why I should even bother to finish the stupid thing because no one is going to want to hire someone who needs to take a day off every 5 weeks so she ( Read more... )

Not healthwise. No, healthwise, I feel like crap with con-crud dueling with "7th week of what should be a 6 week Remicaid cycle." But that is not important right now, because in non-health-related ways, I FEEL LIKE A FUCKING ROCK STAR.

I do! I even got applauded! But I'll get to that in a sec.

So, I am pet-sitting for mentia999 as part of our "you sold ( Read more... )

*Just a warning to all of my lovely readers out there. If I hear you whining about how hard it is being white, I will have to throttle down my desire to punch you repeatedly in the face.

Since I read so many more books than I'll ever review, I've decided to start keeping track of them in my LJ.

( Since Juldea requested the cut )

I'm going to be a little quieter on Lj for a bit. I'm in the first few days of a new activity that I really enjoy, and whenever I discover something new, I tend to obsess over it for awhile.

Don't worry, this too shall pass. Till then, though, I'm gonna be a little distracted.

Please fill this out to the best of your ability. I'll be using this data for class (all names changed, of course) and may come back and ask you to go more in-depth with your answers if you're willing. Please spread word about this; I'd like as many respondants as possible. Don't worry, only I will be able to see the results. However, if you'd ( Read more... )

mesmerising rocks my socks. Within the past few weeks, I have received not one but two handwritten letters (addressed to Mrs Fitzwilliam Darcy, no less), both of which also contained a gift. The first was a beautiful boomerang which I will unfortunately make less beautiful as I practice with it in an attempt to learn a skill that will be useful to my ( Read more... )

I wish to repeat this so that there is no confusion. What follows is NOT MY FAULT; it stemmed from this comment: "Any Austen-sequel author who says they're writing something other than fanfic doesn't understand what fanfic is. We're all writing fanfic. It just has a negative connotation when you say that, because it implies you threw some Ron/Harry ( Read more... )
