(no subject)
Things have been a little "eh" here in the Erin McGowen side of the household. Still have my job, still have my apartment. Still love my roomie. Can't seem to keep money for the life of me, but at least we've got enough to pay bills. Every time I get slightly ahead, I seem to fall behind again. The fact I owe everyone I know a good minimum of at least $200 doesn't really let me sleep well at night. I'm selling possessions like none other to get the stuff that's happening paid for. At least I have my health!
Tuesday I discovered a great piece of my tire tread had been ripped off. So I get to buy a new tire on Friday. Luckily, my step-father knows a place that will sell a used tire for about $10-20. Not the best, but at least it will last me until I can afford to buy new tires all together. I really, really need these tires on the car to last at least another two years. I suppose all I can really do is hold on and pray!
Fandom is kinda . . . boring right now. There's nothing going on in the Star Trek fandom, and I think my STBB fic (which I WILL be finishing) will probably be the last thing I write in the fandom for a while. I'm def not leaving it - I'm too nostalgic to leave any fandom completely. But I (stupidly) got my feelings hurt. At least with the Grindeldore fandom. The Big Bang turned out wonderfully, actually! But it is a little disheartening to write almost 18K on a story and no one comments. Or even act like they've read it. I realize fandom and writing is not about the comments - it's about you and loving what you write. But sometimes people do like to be shown a little encouragement here and there.
Led Zeppelin has taken over my life.
Currently starting on my first crocheted blanket. I've got about 13 of the 72 squares I have to make. Whee!
