Yay Twitter! I'm now following you (@classiccoke). :D

I'm starting grad school next month, and I too don't have Facebook.

I usually do one word searches and it works well. You may get random stuff that leads you to other one word searches. It addicting.

Added! I am also on pinterest, though I mostly just lurk and unfollow people's boards that make me feel bad that my kids are in daycare and I don't like to clean or do crafts. ;-) Twitter is fun as hell, though, especially for TW stuff. Lots of fannish shrieking, which is always more fun en masse!

Grad school, eh? Vaya con Dios! :-)

y-e-s, I have been knocking off a bunch of prerequs part time but it starts full time this fall and maybe I am shaking in my boots a little (hence procrastination.) On the other hand, it's only a Master's, and up until now I've taken classes with no childcare except to cover my class hours, and this fall I will have actual real childcare while I study, an unimaginable luxury. I mean, the studying I've done at playgrounds! The powerpoint presentations I've made while NB literally hangs around my neck or pushes me back from the computer saying "no e-mailing, don't do e-mail, come PLAY WITH ME."

Tumblr is the best for procrastinating! And tons of fandom people are on it, probably including lots that you like. Also, easy to lurk.

oh god, I already burn too much time on tumblr, for SURE.
