eljay revival
Hey, so I heard via some new social network that Livejournal has cleaned up some of its interface and made things work better, so I thought I'd come test it out. If I actually start writing here again I'll have to clear out some of my own cobwebs--hello icon from 2006 ( Read more... ) -
city owls
I can't sleep, so I'm telling myself a story about how the owls urban residents put on their roofs to keep pigeons from roosting are second-class citizens who can only move around at night. They keep the secrets of the humans they watch all day, but always feel inferior to their counterparts who get to sleep in proper nests and actually eat the ( Read more... ) -
the journey of the rowanspun dk
Some time in 2007, zigeunerweisen sent me a bundle of Rowanspun DK after she'd found it wasn't working into a sweater she liked. I was a pretty novice knitter at that point--stashless, even!--so I didn't know what I was going to make it into. I was sure it wouldn't be enough for a full sweater for me, so I started whittling away at it with smaller projects ( Read more... ) -
16
Today, I am 34. On this date in 1995, I started taking insulin to treat the type 1 diabetes I'd been diagnosed with some weeks before. Unlike a lot of diabetics of my acquaintance, I don't know my actual diagnosis date, so I count from my birthday instead.

The biopsy (an ultrasound-guided core biopsy) went smoothly, and the radiologist seemed confident I didn't have much to worry about, but I'm still waiting to hear from the pathology lab for the official word.
Meanwhile, it's my birthday, and I'm going to enjoy it, darnit!

yesterday was Diabetes Blog Day, but this post is not about diabetes
This has been happening for several years, but I've never participated in it. I was inspired to post this year because of the many tweets from my many betes homies on the subject, and of course because I haven't blogged in over six months.
Except I really don't feel like talking about diabetes. Yes, many days are a fucking trial, and November is ( Read more... ) -
where I have been
Hi!
Time has gotten away from me. It really seemed that one day I was checking in on Livejournal when I had a free moment ("I'm compiling!"), the next I was only finding time fortnightly to peek at the journals of people I (a) know in real life and have gotten email from recently (boffo, electricia), (b) am subscribed to elsewhere (perich), or (c) am just curious ( Read more... ) -
but which do I cull?
I am so behind on Livejournal. I think I need to cull some of my feeds here and in Bloglines. I can't keep up anymore. (How the hell do you do it, hober?)
