I've been spending a lot of time thinking about grieving lately. Life has been rough. My bedroom is a shambles of partly-unpacked boxes from when we moved in here three months ago, along with half the contents from my desk at work. My grandmother died about a month and a half ago. I was laid off last week. These two facts are not related but the ( Read more... ) -

nostalgia party
It's funny, I feel like I'm constantly struggling in this new fannish reality of multiple platforms to figure out how to communicate, how to make new fannish connections, how to maintain my old ones. I have a tumblr, joyfulseeker there as well as here as well as on AO3, because though I feel a bit sheepish about my current username I am nothing so ( Read more... ) -

I wrote a thing and I got a thing!
So first, I have to say that I have been doing some coffee experimentation to sort of mixed results, though I respect others' coffee choices. I don't think black espresso+sugar is for me. My heart just cries out for some sort of dairy.
Second:
I wrote a thing! For til_midnight's prompt in the Hockey Holiday Exchange.

word warring proposal and coffee habits
Things I feel I gotta ask since I'm hanging out in a blissfully empty house and avoiding unpacking my suitcase: is there anyone, ANYONE, who takes their coffee black with sugars? I keep reading that description in coffee orders in stories and every time I read it the record player in my head screeches to a halt as I try to remember if anyone in my ( Read more... ) -

My god, I don't know why I go to anon-memes occasionally. It always leaves me feeling desperately sad and like I should probably never write again. And they aren't even talking about my stories! WHAT. was I thinking. Too thin-skinned for the internet, I guess ( Read more... ) -

Cool things are going down, my friends!

lazy
We've had some weather, the last few days. The Bay Area version of weather, so heavy winds at night that send branches scraping and rattling loudly against our windows, but blue skies all day long and temperatures warm enough to want to wear shorts or a skirt. I'm sitting in my backyard right now in the shade of our expansive pine tree. This pine ( Read more... )
