And merry Christmas, everybody!  Hope you have a very, very, very happy one!

Random thoughts: The term "fandom bicycle" really bothers me. I think because it's so crude. I mean, even if I ship a character with a lot of different characters, I don't know about anyone else, but I'm not thinking, "everyone gets a ride!" It's just . . . I don't know, it seems connected with a lack of respect or something and seems to turn ( Read more... )

I haven't posted in a while.  Partly because of NaNo--I'm not done with the book, but the 50,000 words were effectively dispatched!  Partly because it's been kind of a busy month.

But I want to say happy Thanksgiving to everyone (yes, even all you non Americans out there), because I feel like I really do have a lot to be thankful for, and that this ( Read more... )

It's 10/10/10 today!  Seriously, guys, this is big!  It only happens once in a hundred years, after all, so take a moment to appreciate it, at least ( Read more... )

Well, I take the GRE tomorrow.  I've been studying for it, but in a more desultory way than I probably could have, so . . . we'll see how that goes.  I am kind of nervous--I don't really like taking tests (does anyone?), and it's computerized in a way that I'm not too familiar with.  (A computerized math test?  Ugh ( Read more... )

In the years since I first got this journal (and how can it be possible that I can say that, anyway-years just sounds like it’s so long), I’ve always intended to use it as a real blog, mostly for my thoughts on opinion on fandom and on writing and fiction in general, but that’s definitely never materialized.  Instead it’s become far more a dumping ( Read more... )

It's September 11th today.  I can still remember what I was doing nine years ago today.  It's weird how much time has passed when I think about it, because I don't feel like it has at all.  I don't really have much to say about this, but I thought I'd post about it regardless, if only just to commemorate it and how much it changed how this country ( Read more... )

Just weighing in on the whole Facebook/Twitter mess, don't repost anything I post here, etc.  I'm sure you guys are all cool enough not to, and aside from that, well, I do keep my journal public, so it's not like I can complain.  Things in friends-locked posts, though--it would be really uncool to see elsewhere, and thanks for respecting my wishes ( Read more... )

Your movies always made me think, that's for sure.  (Seems like it's increasingly less likely to be a rumor.)

Friends Cut!

I do feel like I've been growing apart from some people on my friends-list, or maybe we just have nothing in common anymore, or your journal is dead, or we just have no interests in common.  If you can't see this post, you've been cut.  If I cut you and don't want to have been cut, or don't feel the same, or just want to know the ( Read more... )
