Bounded Yet Infinite: What Groundhog Day: the Musical Means to Me
Ok, so am posting this here as well! I know that this blog contains a lot of me discussing how the show has mirrored and helped me alter my journey with depression, but I want to say right up front that Groundhog Day: The Musical is a creation of pure hope, fun, and joy ( Read more... ) -
I am no bird, and no net ensnares me; travels and distractions and a chronicle of it all
Since I have been writing more in my paper journal, I've been feeling like coming back to LJ. I miss having a regular outlet for more sustained interaction than is made possible by platforms like Facebook and Twitter ( Read more... ) -
assemble, reassessing, reassembly
So it's entirely possible that Avengers will be the thing that lures me back into online fandom...because at this point in time, all I want to do is grab virtual hands with everyone and jump up and down with glee over this movie and all it brought and all it implies ( Read more... ) -
Out of the Darkness: my 18 mile fundraising walk for suicide prevention
My first week of work at the international branch of Pearson was phenomenal. I absolutely made the right decision ( Read more... ) -
...and home again
I keep sitting down to work some more on my concert write-up from this past week spent following MCR from Boston through Philly and NJ and down to DC...and I keep getting overwhelmed by it and stopping, often mid-sentence, and wandering away. Suffice to say it was an incredibly challenging and rewarding week spent with friends both old and new, ( Read more... ) -
My Chem, again...(forever)
I'm feeling hopelessly behind on fic. There are so many new, gloriously long, tantalizing-sounding My Chem fics being posted, and so many by my favorite authors! I need to figure out an easy way to get the fic on to my iPad, I think. For whatever reason, my least-preferred method of reading fic is just sitting at my laptop and reading it...I ( Read more... ) -
MCR "secret" show at PC Richards, 11/30/10
Because of a sudden work issue, I am not at the Roseland Gaslight Anthem/My Chemical Romance show as I had planned to me. Under other circumstances, I would be despondent, but I am simply disappointed and sad not to be seeing my friends and concert buddies who are all there tonight. I am not despondent because, through the kindness of friends, ( Read more... ) -
not much of substance -- joining in the four-color, post-apocalyptic clamor
I am so excited about this! It may not seem like a surprise for me to be saying that, but, honestly, I wasn't certain how I was going to feel after their two-year absence. This band helped me change the way I approach my life and has brought me into contact with so many amazing people (and a certain other band I can't shut up about), and will ( Read more... ) -
Thoughts on seeing Johnny Weir skate at Chelsea Piers and on meeting and greeting
Last Thursday, I went down to NYC to see Johnny Weir skate at Chelsea Piers and I had an amazing time. He skated two programs - a new, elegantly simple and poignant piece called “Heartbroken” and the fabulously over-the-top routine he does to “Bad Romance,” complete with demi-tutu and Bowie-esque layers of sparkles and cosmetics. This is the ( Read more... ) -
delurking in my own journal (falling, unexpectedly, into fannish space again)
I'm sitting in a "chalet"-themed hotel in middle America, devouring the free chocolate-covered strawberries and Perrier randomly delivered to me by the hotel staff, avoiding organizing my presentation notes for tomorrow's conference by flicking through image after internet image of...Johnny Weir ( Read more... )
