This was a thing that I texted to pearl_o to keep her from expiring from boredom when she was at work on New Year's Eve day. I just want to make sure it doesn't disappear entirely. It's from the unfinished college AU ( Read more... )

Hi, internet! Happy belated Christmas! And early New Year's!

I'm so sorry for the radio silence--I've been swamped with secret_mutant stuff and it finally finished while I was home in Jersey for Christmas at which point I had, you know, family stuff to do. But I've officially put the lid on secret_mutant for the year, so...yes. I'm mostly back, although I'm leaving to see liveonthesun ( Read more... )

So, today I went to work even though I felt like crap. Then I came home to a quiet, dark house and decided to take an ill-advised nap. I woke up an hour later feeling ravenous, cranky, out of sorts, and gross, but I wanted to write something and I knew I couldn't focus on my big bang.
