Friends! I have been... absent. Basically since this time last year, apologies. Really absent, in that I have mostly not even been reading LJ for the first time since I arrived here in 2001 (holy shit). I know I have missed important things, and I hope you will catch me up on them, if you want to ( Read more... )

So, 2014. Fairly weird. I started off the year doing my same job with a new boss, and, for reasons I will get into in a different post, ended the year by starting a new job two-and-a-half weeks before Christmas. I had my first car accident (as a driver), I went to dye camp for the third (and probably last) time, I got 85% in a genuine college ( Read more... )

Oh, hello! I know I haven't posted since March, but I read mostly every day (easier since I deleted a bunch of communities and now my friends list has like six new posts a day), so I haven't jumped ship, really ( Read more... )

- So. It has been winter for approximately 47 months, and it is still only February. People keep saying that spring is on its way, but I know that is a lie. There is no spring. Only winter. Forever. I can't even get excited that the sun is now most of the way up in the morning when my alarm goes off, because I know that in a week-and-a-half ( Read more... )

2013 was pretty weird, in some ways. I moved. My mom made me a deal I couldn't refuse, so I gave up drinking Coke. (My mom gave up eating meat.) I stopped biting my nails. One of my best friends moved back home after eight years on the other side of the country and now she lives five blocks away from me. I went to dye camp for the second year ( Read more... )

So confused this morning. When my alarm went off (and my cat immediately presented herself for petting), I wondered why I had set the alarm at all, since it was Sunday. And then I thought it through (while petting) and worked out that it was probably Monday. So I got up, and while I was brushing my teeth, checked the weather app on my phone, ( Read more... )

So I have been pretty spectacularly disorganized for the past month (and also the preceding thirty-four-point-five years), and did not manage to do anything like holiday cards or anything, but I can do this. 2012 was a better year for me than 2011, I think, and also a lot quieter. I feel like it was a pretty solitary year also, even though I ( Read more... )

Around the beginning of the week, Molly started randomly spraying in a few places, for no apparent reason. This, obviously, is not desirable. Yesterday morning, I took her to the vet to see if there was some medical problem, and the vet said she needed a urine sample, but Molly's bladder was totally empty, so she couldn't get one just then, and ( Read more... )

Hi, LJ! It's been two months, but that is not really that long, right? I am always caught up on my FL, but posting is not high priority. As always, there is too much to say/nothing of specific interest to anyone, so let's have bullet points. Without bullets.

- Had a week's holiday at the beginning of July. Went to Haliburton School of the ( Read more... )

I keep starting posts and then not posting them, and I don't remember what any of them were supposed to be about, and just now I want to talk about knitting:
