Friends! I have been... absent. Basically since this time last year, apologies. Really absent, in that I have mostly not even been reading LJ for the first time since I arrived here in 2001 (holy shit). I know I have missed important things, and I hope you will catch me up on them, if you want to ( Read more... )

Hello, Amazing Bringer of Yuletide Joy ( Read more... )

So, 2014. Fairly weird. I started off the year doing my same job with a new boss, and, for reasons I will get into in a different post, ended the year by starting a new job two-and-a-half weeks before Christmas. I had my first car accident (as a driver), I went to dye camp for the third (and probably last) time, I got 85% in a genuine college ( Read more... )

Oh, hello! I know I haven't posted since March, but I read mostly every day (easier since I deleted a bunch of communities and now my friends list has like six new posts a day), so I haven't jumped ship, really ( Read more... )

This morning it was 5 a.m., which was not as irritating as it would have been had he not woken me up from a dream where I was in a basement filled with spiders. Not just any spiders, but big ones, with big, ( Read more... )

I can't even get excited that the sun is now most of the way up in the morning when my alarm goes off, because I know that in a week-and-a-half ( Read more... )

2013 was pretty weird, in some ways. I moved. My mom made me a deal I couldn't refuse, so I gave up drinking Coke. (My mom gave up eating meat.) I stopped biting my nails. One of my best friends moved back home after eight years on the other side of the country and now she lives five blocks away from me. I went to dye camp for the second year ( Read more... )

Yuletide Writer, you are the best! I hope you are pleased with your assignment (and if you are horrified, I'm so sorry!), and are filled with ideas for what you want to do. Here are some hints to help you out ( Read more... )

So confused this morning. When my alarm went off (and my cat immediately presented herself for petting), I wondered why I had set the alarm at all, since it was Sunday. And then I thought it through (while petting) and worked out that it was probably Monday. So I got up, and while I was brushing my teeth, checked the weather app on my phone, ( Read more... )

Last night I could not get to sleep because my face would not stop smiling about JC Chasez. 2002, is that you? I don't care at all about Girl Radical, but I care deeply about this, this, and this.
