Happy New Year, friends! May 2013 be a better year for you, in every respect, than 2012 was. (I feel this is a good wish to make for everyone, regardless of whether your 2012 was stellar or crappy.)

My 2012 was ( ... meh. )

Heeeeeeeeey there, I haven't posted since VividCon. I feel bad about that. (Not really sure why, but I do.) So, here, have a random and not-at-all-fannish post.

Instead of doing a year-end vid retrospective like other people (one vid! I made one whole vid! That's more than the previous year!), I shall do a travel retrospective. Because I was much ( Read more... )

It looks like now is a really awesome time to be in fandom (and more specifically, vidding fandom). More Joy Day was last Thursday, and people did joyous things! And festivids also went live on Thursday, and there are soooo many new and amazing vids to a variety of sources - it's kinda like an extra VividCon.

And then recently it was pointed out to me (very delicately and with love!) that my journal is perhaps NOT anyone ( Read more... )

In three weeks I will be moving far away from my family, and even farther away from my real-life friends, and this would be an appropriate time to point out that I am *horrible* at keeping in touch with people. I almost never initiate emails or letters or phone calls, and am very unreliable in responding to the first two - not cause I don't want to ( Read more... )
