I've been super quiet on the internet lately! It is because everything is ridic busy. My last substantive post was in, wow, mid-February ( Read more... )

Having a lot of trouble winding down, which is bad given that I need to get up and be moving tomorrow morning. Had a really shitty fencing practice at the club today, which is definitely why I can't get myself to get up and shower and go to bed.

So I coached at my first ever competition on Saturday! It was super intense - we drove all day Friday, the kids fenced all day Saturday, and then we drove back all day Sunday. Also I woke up Sunday morning with a cold + cramps, which was... fun. When I bought cold medicine and cough drops and pads and donuts at the gas station, the cashier was very ( Read more... )

Drove from New York to Minnesota on Sunday/Monday, which was TONS OF FUN. Sunday I had to stop early in Ohio because blinding snowstorm. Monday I drove on snowed-in turnpikes most of the day, then into ridiculous cold+wind once the roads were clear. Best traffic I've ever dealt with in Chicago, though ( Read more... )

I started the idfic summer planning to write a lot of short and silly BDSM porn. Instead I've just written 8k of mostly-gen fencing fic. I feel like I could have predicted this outcome ( Read more... )

Have people gotten tired of daily posts yet? Spring break is about half over, soon I will go back to posting once a month or so, don't worry.

Two pieces of news: I've just read all of Zen Cho's work that's available online and it's wow, incredible. Prudence and the Dragon is my big rec, but I love it all ( Read more... )

Early birthday present to me: while on a grocery run today, my car engine turned off about a quarter mile from home and refused to restart (in the middle of a snowstorm, while I was in the far lane of a three-lane highway entrance with no shoulder). I was halfway through talking to AAA when a guy pulled over and offered to tow me - he got me back ( Read more... )
