Lots of things that took a really long time

[jjtaylor]

Hey everyone, I can't tell you how much I've missed you! I was thinking this morning how much I really missed journaling - Twitter is fun but just moments within moments, and Tumblr is like 1000% eye candy. And I have a Writerly Blog Type Thing but I find that especially challening to post to, because I don't know my audience. I know you guys,

You're pregnant! I am so so happy for you! That is fantastic news, and I know trying was a LOT. I am SO HAPPY for you! and the job thing, dude - that is SUCH A GREAT THING, to escape your other job. I'm so glaaaaad! I'm glad you posted. I'm sorry things are so rough, but I am happy to see that good things are happening, too. <3<3<3

Thank you!! I really miss reading about what people are up to, and going on and on for paragraphs about, like, random things! Twitter is just not the same.

And seriously, I was under the impression that 1.) getting pregnant was so easy that you had to actively avoid it, and 2.) that aside from morning sickness and eventually carrying extra weight under your ribs, everything else during pregnancy was also easy. AHAHAHAHA nooooo, the things NO ONE TELLS YOU! I mean, I'm very happy and excited but generally my most pressing feeling about expectant motherhood tends to be WHY DO I HAVE TO EAT AGAIN ALL FOOD IS DISGUSTING

Congratulations! Pregnancy is hard for a lot of people, and that's okay. I'm glad you're taking care of yourself first. ♥

I haven't been on LJ in a long time and am trying to kind of ease myself back in, but I don't know what I've missed in the meantime re: other people's posts. With that in mind, have you checked out Sherlock? It's by far the most satisfying post-bandom fandom I've found, and some of the stories I've read have even been reminiscent of yours, imo. *shrugs* Worth a look. =)
