12/17/2006 -- Just getting around to doing this now, after nearly three years in LJ land.

Quick rundown on me. I'm Cynthia, and I am known to some as hiyacynth. My journal is about equal parts real life and fangirl squee, often shaken up and dumped out together. I watch TV. I read books. I try to write stuff, fanfic there included ( Read more... )

Just wanted to post an update after my post of doom last week. Geez, it's been such a rough couple of months. But things are getting so much better ( Read more... )

Okay, so like a month (or more) ago, I did this meme where I was all "pick a story and I'll tell you three things about it that you don't know," and liptonrm picked "Occasions of Sin" and/or "Periphery," and I came up with one measly thing about "Occasions of Sin" (see Thing 1 below). I've been mulling and mulling, and it's been very hard because liptonrm and the ( Read more... )

"What's it got in its diaper, Precious?"

ETA songs I should probably not play/sing with/to/around the baby but can't stop ( Read more... )

liptonrm is doing this meme that looks fun. I feel like a bit of a fraud doing it because I haven't written anything since, like, 2008, but what the heck. My kid naps now! I can haz LJ a little more often!

Pick one of my fics, and I'll give you three details that didn't make it into the fic. Background canon, deleted scenes, or a look into the future. My ( Read more... )

Today is my last day of full-time employment for what we expect to be a couple of years, if not more. It is very, very weird on many different levels ( Read more... )

Hello! I am still here! I have groceries enough to wait out the oncoming snowpocalypse. Considering the constant hammering the East Coast has gotten this winter, I'm feeling pretty lucky if we just get this one really bad one, but talk to me again tomorrow and see what I say. I may have turned into a total baby about it all ( Read more... )

Missing Major Dick Winters today. There are so few real people who are heroes to me. I know I'm far from alone in mourning a role model and an inspiration. Hang tough, friends.

*Sadly does not have appropriate Winters icon; alternatively uses ghostly Skip icon of pure love*

How pathetic is it that I have my first day off since Thanksgiving, and I'm ridiculously happy to be spending it catching up on housework. My goals for the day:

* Unload dishwasher. Started, but then had to run it again. (Note to self/husband: Don't run the mashed-potatoe dish through the dishwasher without throughly scrubbing it beforehand. It ( Read more... )

Huh. I just found myself with an hour to kill and thought, "I've been bitching for months about how LJ ate half my icons and saying I need to reupload a bunch of them." So this afternoon I went to fix the situation, and lo and behold, my icons were back! Weird. I've added a few oldies but goodies. I need new/differnt ones. Except that I don't, ( Read more... )
