Due to the new LJ TOS, I've decided to stop cross-posting and go inactive here on LJ. I'm not deleting this journal, but I won't be updating it anymore either.

If you are still interested in hanging out, I can be found at musesfool @ dreamwidth, cacchieressa on tumblr, and of course, my stories live on AO3It's been a great run (fifteen years!), ( Read more... )

Opening day! Syndergaard on the mound! At least it's warmed up a little. I still think they should truncate the season a little at both ends, because playing the World Series in November is so dumb, but what the hell do I know?

I had amazing cheesy garlic bread for dinner last night but it knocked me the fuck out. I eat carbs a lot more than a lot of people, so I don't usually get that crash afterwards, but I couldn't keep my eyes open! I was afraid I was going to fall asleep in the shower! So I went to bed instead of watching any TV ( Read more... )
