I've not been writing for two reasons that are both contradictory and a pretty good illustration of my general state of mind lately: partly it's for lack of wanting to talk about this, for knowing that it's real and I quite simply don't want to think about it, and partly because one side of me thinks this is all some joke or nightmare or ( Read more... )

I won't be around for while. Have the most incredible R S I and cannot seem to operate the computer by voice activation software for the life of me; TRYING Is just stressing me oUT more. Given that my back and neck are screwed as well as my arms and wrists and fingers this may be good anyway - giving up computer completely. elisa got your ( Read more... )

Do any of you guys keep a running list of what you're reading somewhere online? I'm looking for suggestions on somewhere convenient I can note what I've read, what I'm reading, and what I want to remember to read. I like AllConsuming but it keeps losing stuff I've entered as "read", and--since I've sort of only recently (to my happiness and, ( Read more... )

Lazy Saturday. Did I just do this for fun? Why yes, yes I did. *cough*87%*cough* Horrendous, actually, when you consider the dumb shit I got wrong (nope, I ain't sayin'!); there's also no small amount of stuff in there that's easy to pick just because of the way the answers are worded.
