The new semester is starting, which is probably awesome for my sanity, if very sad for my love of vacation time. Of course, my uni being itself, most conversations about the new semester start and end with comparing how many of last semester's exams we still need to re-take, and how long it'll be before the last one finishes and we can actually ( Read more... ) -

The first day's batch of Purimgifts fics is up! I'm putting off reading any of them, except for the one I got, in an attempt to be a good person who takes her studies seriously, but the list of fandoms makes me very very happy ( Read more... ) -

It would appear that people who have known me for almost a decade (we won't name names, just numbers), during which I've used ;p as a smiley about 80% of the time, still somehow expect -- after ten years, I'd like to stress this -- that I somehow make sense enough to go by accepted code, and was poking my tongue out at them this whole time ( Read more... ) -

Okay, I know this is an Israeli show and nobody cares, but my happy P&P modern adaptation has done a 180 and gone to making me so. Frigging. Sad. And I have to rant.

Due to her general awesomeness, runawaykael has both started me on my way to a Wordpress page and explained to me how no, no, really, it's easy, you can do it, yes, go ahead and call me at work to ask me silly questions, so that I'm actually slowly getting content on said page. It's likely to be pretty slow going, but since we're entering exam period in a ( Read more... )
