i really think everything is going to be fine.
I wrote a yuletide story: [Modern Love] a How I Met Your Mother story which is, as aforementioned, not about Charles Haley's erect penis. Instead, it's not about how Ted and Robin get married. I think this is the first story I've posted since Yuletide 2006, and it was fun. I would really like to start writing again, but we'll see ( Read more... ) -

Subway Breakdown, 2001-presentAt the end of last year, I said, "2008 is gonna be better, even if I have to pull a Querada and throw myself through a sliding glass door." Twelve months later, I now know that you can throw yourself through the proverbial sliding glass door as hard as you want, it doesn't mean things are going to get better. But at ( Read more... ) -

the real are epic
What's going on with me right now is that it's the time of year when work becomes an endless waking nightmare and the brief moments of lucidity are absurd things like the afternoon I spent this week trying (and failing) to teach one of my employees how to do fourth grade level cross products. Yesterday I went to the gym before work because I ( Read more... ) -

Dear yuletide writer mine,
I'm gonna be honest with you, I can't actually remember what fandoms I requested. But I would really prefer that you just have fun and do your own thing anyway. I like the apocalypse and I don't like stories written in the first person. Other than that, I'm sure everything will be fine. Good luck!

can't believe my way back when
It's been a week since the election, and I still haven't managed to sort out all my feelings. I'm happy, I'm relieved, but mostly, I'm jealous. I'm jealous of the people who are able to whole-heartedly embrace what has happened, and, as a queer person, I can't help but feel left behind. I have a lot of complicated feelings about the passage of ( Read more... ) -

did you try looking under the couch cushion in hell?
! Springsteen fans, here is a link to a local news channel’s grainy video of a 42-minute acoustic set at a Vote for Change Rally in Philadelphia this past weekend. Also, if anyone who knows more about extracting audio than I do could extract that audio (particularly the audio of “Thunder Road”), I would be in your debt ( Read more... ) -
a trip to the office across from my office
1. We moved. Tolstoy wrote, “Happy moves are all alike; every unhappy move is unhappy in its own way.” Or maybe that wasn’t quite what he said, but you get what I’m saying. This move turned unhappy in its own way when J dropped the freakin’ television on her foot, and I had to spend five delirious and un-air conditioned hours cleaning our old ( Read more... )
