Gawd, I go away for 6 weeks, and when I come back people are only posting their tweets. I subscribe on Twitter already! Twitter suits my attention span much better. Bek's life fits into 140 characters. Thankyou, the end.
I miss the beach. I fear I've missed my chance to surf again, this year. Maybe I should invest in a wetsuit. I'd rather pretend I'm so fucking tough that I don't need one. Acknowledge weakness. I can do it.

So, how've your lives been? I started studying, again. Librarianship died a vaguely painful death. I got a bit sick of the resonance of truth when people told me - constantly - they couldn't imagine me doing it. So I'm doing graphic design, and one week in, it's already more fun. Who knows how well I'll keep up, but I'll enjoy it in the mean time. One of my classes is full of font nerds. I thought I was the only one.
In the rest of life, I've been swing dancing, acro-ing and playing a lot of scrabble. What have YOU been doing?
