...The snow mocs I ordered for the trip to Toronto in Feb. came ( Read more... )

I feel like I've already made more of a commitment to NaNo this year than ever before. I pretty much gave up Halloween...normally my favorite holiday, to be ready to start writing at midnight. This was because I have my writer's group meeting tonight and have r/l errands to run before hand, so I have to leave early...but I wanted to be sure and get ( Read more... )

I was already in a really good mood this morning after meeting all my goals for the week. Then I checked my email and had two messages that were from editors...for stories I had pretty much given up on hearing back from. I expected them to both be rejections, and the first one was, but with a nice explanation of why it wasn't right for their ( Read more... )

Meh. I don't feel any different than I did at 29...or 25 for that matter. Perhaps my work ethic has finally matured though...I'm on schedule for NaNo. I finished and submitted the Christmas story to Wicked Karnival a day before my self-imposed deadline, and I not only got the November CS newsletter out on time, but I also prepared all the content ( Read more... )

I just reactivated my NaNo account for November and I've already narrowed my list down to two plot choices for the big event. I'm also teetering on the edge of fan-girly-ness again, this time with Queer as Folk. I'm going (fingers crossed and knocking wood) to the Queer as Fans con in Toronto in February! I may freeze to death, but at least it will ( Read more... )

So, I'm going to see The Kings of Leon, The Secret Machines, and The Helio Sequence (major *squeeing* over the them) tonight in Asheville. I was sitting here with nothing to do, can't start anything time consuming because I have to start getting ready to go in about half an hour, and realized I haven't updated my journal in AGES, so here I am. :-) ( Read more... )

Okay, if you haven't heard of this place, go there now: Habbo Hotel It's a chat space with avatars...but so much more! Yeah, so it's intended for 13 to 18 year olds, that's why I'm trying to talk everyone I know into going and joining- so I'll have friends my own age to play with! The site requires flash so you need Shockwave or Macromedia or ( Read more... )

I'm always surprised at the actual length of time that lapses between my posts. It really doesn't seem like months since my last post. Anyway. Last Sunday I was called a vampire...in a nice urban way, not as an insult. I ordered steaks from a local restaurant and after the second, "as rare as possible, please," the guy taking the order asked if we ( Read more... )

Thanks to the lovely and quite multi-talented julieva, I now have a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory icon. Yay! Thanks again, luv. :-D

Now, I think I'll go fix some brunch and try to figure out where I'm going to store wrapped presents until Christmas so the cats won't eat them.
