My brother is all married and I am snatching a moment in the hotel's business center to share my joy with you.

Yay!

The pre-trip excitement is starting to get to me, I think. I'm getting all nervous and fluttery and incapable of sleep. I want to already be in Chicago, hanging out with vidding-type people ( Read more... )

I have three upcoming trips, one of which I only decided to do quite recently. Since there are people on my flist who are also going to two of these places, I thought I would share information and etc.
VividCon: which is next week (eee!) in Chicago. I'm leaving the fourteenth and getting back the eighteenth. I anticipate having much fun (vids! Yay ( Read more... )

It's International Blog Against Racism Week.

I couldn't really think of anything to write about for it, so I hadn't done anything. I find racism, like other forms of bigotry, constantly startling.

It'll probably be a while before everything settles down, but we're getting there. School starts up again the week of the ( Read more... )

As some of you know, I've been in a relationship with my roommate (jic) for almost three years now (our anniversary would have been this Memorial Day). Just tonight, we have agreed to no longer be in a relationship for reasons of irreconcilable differences.

My mom had tickets to the ballet -- we saw the Oregon Ballet Theatre's performances of "Through Eden's Gates", "Just", and "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue".
