Just taking a quick break from writing lesson plans to announce:

I'M ON RAVELRY!

Look for me under sockpirate. I'll be setting up my berth soon.

That is all.

Life is excellent, though busy. I took my ORELA test last Saturday, and I'm pretty sure I passed all the sections, including the math and science! Yay ( Read more... )

1. Mundane Name:
Amanda.

2. Mundane Job:
Student; Aspiring English Teacher. I don't get paid for writing or knitting or any of the other fun things I like to do, so they're not technically jobs.

Angharad Bach is my primary persona. There are a couple more wandering around.

4. How did you come up with your name?I wanted to be ( Read more... )

So, yeah. I went to the party at Borders. (If I had known that U of O was having a Potter Party, I would have gone there.) Still, lots of cool people went. We had dinner first with fearga and K, as well as vesta_aurelia at Ambrosia, and that was lovely and fun. The food was excellent, and all of us had dessert (of course). I changed my mind about going as Ginny ( Read more... )

Lots has been going on, and I really hate being up at this time of the morning. Class seems like such an inconvenience right now, getting in the way of getting important stuff done. Ah, well. It's a small price to pay at the moment, and I do start teaching in the fall ( Read more... )

I had my hair dyed again, and boy, is it RED! Photos will be posted as soon as I can get Alex to take a photo of me. We're going to the Harry Potter Hallows Ball at Borders on the 20th, and guess who I'm dressing up as?

Ginny Weasley, of course.

I just want to take a moment to register the fact that I am delightfully overwhelmed. I have a gown to create by December, and I have most of the fabric for it. (Must finish designing the surcoat.) At the same time, I need to clean at least part of the house today, and possibly knit another pair of baby booties. (Baby shower tomorrow.) I need ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday, hlmauera! I hope it was brilliant! *snugsnugs*

Happy Birthday, katiefoolery! I hope it is brilliant! *snugsnugs*

May both of you have very, very happy times now and in the future.

Love Always,
ME.

It's odd to realize that updating LJ has been so low on my list of Things To Do. Lots has been going on in my life (as usual), and things have been busier than ever. "Lemme 'splain. No, that would take too long. Lemme sum up."
