I have so much to update about, but work has wrung me out to the point of hovering on the edge of a nervous fit. I had a minor nervous fit today, which was slightly embarrassing, but Favorite Coworker W (aka Fellow Work Geek aka Work BFF) very calmly braved the sales floor (he works in the back room) to give me a hand and stop me from setting fire ( Read more... )

DPS is my cheesy fandom. Because, really, they're enthusiastic 16 year old boys in love for the first time. Of course it's going to be cheesy.

Aw, I'm glad you liked it! Writing for these two is always like crawling back into a warm bed. I forget how much I missed it until I'm here.

And we totally have to watch the movie together some time soon! Because... yes XD
