#1 Still a financial refugee at mom's. Have been making use of her sewing machine, her actual full-size kitchen and her garden fence that really needed a scrub and a new coat of paint. It's all good, but it would be better if I could spend more time online than it takes to check my email or look up a recipe. Don't give up on me! It'll be September soon and normality will resume.
#2 Before that, there'll be Another Trip of Awesome:
scatterheart is coming to visit Finland, and we'll meet up in Stockholm with
turnyourankle and
lovebashed. It's more than a month away but I'm so excited I skip-hop-and-jump a bit when I think about it!

Change! I wasn't among the folks going craaaaazy over Ryan singing back in the day when Pretty. Odd. was coming out/barely out/you know the time I mean--I enjoy his awkwardness as a singer, but there was always Brendon, and let's not pretend I'm not mad abut his voice. I think now, though, that Change wouldn't be as charming if it wasn't Ryan's weird little voice singing it. As personal journeys go, this revelation is weird but okay by me--I embrace your neo-Beatles Brian Wilson-loving hippie nonsense, boys, I embrace it so much. ♥ (Haven't heard that snippet or whatever is going on with the former other half, but reports of what's to be expected from the Smith/Urie collab fill me with meh. My life, so hard.)

#5 The JoBros are lovely. I heart them about as hardcore as you can when you have somewhat limited access to the usual charms of getting into a new fandom, such as, you know, intro posts and picspams and youtube videos and everything. (My life, I tell you, so hard. Lawl.)
