Plague

So, we're into the new place, mostly. It's still a little strange, but it feels like home already. I have more pictures, but there on my phone still and I'm lazy.

...Really, that pretty much sums up all my interactions with DW/LJ for the last year or so.

But I simply must share this with you all, flist.

The new place came with a microwave. It's apparently an exceedingly powerful microwave. I'm glad I tried it on a minipizza before trying to cook something that might explode, because... well...

This.

It's a sad day in LJ-land, my friends. I know it's kind of silly to be this upset (and I'm pretty sure transitorial thinks I'm overreacting just a bit because she says I should have expected this all from LJ by now, especially after 'Strikethrough' et al) but I am.

So I've dusted off my old Dreamwidth account and created a new one for the fic journal. (Sorry to the people I've been spamming, btw. Especially if you don't like DBSK fic. I'm just really happy I've been doing so well on my hc_bingo claim. Only three more fics to finish, and I have an extra already written, so four more posts, probably some time next week.) I'm importing both journals over there today. Whether I just use them as a backup or start crossposting or move entirely depends on what my flist and fandom as a whole decides to do.

Who all currently has a Dreamwidth, btw? I've got some people, but I'm sure I've seen others on my flist posting about having accounts and just never got around to friending them over there. Anyone else?

So, in scrolling through my icons to pick one for a comment, I realized something. Something that really doesn't surprise me at all.

and

have basically the same expression.



Although that could be the cold meds talking. Just came home from work sick. It's just a cold, but colds always drain me way more than anything else, brain-wise. So I figure if they're going to be paying me to stare at a wall, it might as well be a wall in my own home. About to go lay down for a nap, but figured I'd waste time on the intarwebz while I ate a bit of lunch.

How've you been, flist?

So, yeah, thanks to the horrible enabling of mellow_dk and rhosyn_du I decided to sign up for hc_bingo and now I have my card, and it is seriously the awesomest card to ever awesome. No, really, it is. See?


( See the awesome of my card! )

I already have ideas for a good portion of them, as well as some extras. I think I'm going to attempt a DBSK blackout, then go back and pick up other bingos and extras with different fandoms. Hopefully that offer of betaing still stands, Rainy? ^^;

The stories will most likely all be posted over at envious_muses which is my sadly neglected writing journal. I'll try to remember to post links here whenever I get a bingo, though, and I will keep this post updated as I remember.


Let's see... anything interesting been going on IRL lately? Hm. Well, I'm making a cosplay again for the first time in years. It's all transitorial's fault. I'm making two of them, actually, for Nebraskon in November. Vanille from FF13 and Merrill from Dragon Age 2. If you don't know Merrill, this is Merrill.



She's an elf. An elf wearing a chainmail catsuit. This is going to be a long few months.

Joking aside, the chainmail is coming along remarkably well, even if it doesn't look like anything yet. As for Vanille, I have plans for her weapon, we'll see if they work out. I'm also thinking of just dyeing my hair pink instead of getting a wig. Why would I do that, you ask? Because I can. Because my job is awesome and doesn't care if I have pink hair. Well, blue, technically was what I asked about, because this was long before the cosplay idea came up, and my boss was all 'sure, you can dye your hair blue. in fact, I'm expecting you to show up with blue hair now, so you'd better do it.'

I love my job. Have I mentioned that? It's the most boring, mind-numbing place to work that I have ever encountered with some of the most horrible, entitled, bitchy customers ever (I work in a Parking office at a university, in case some people didn't know, and oh lord the helicopter parents) but the people are amazing and I can dye my hair blue (or pink) and show up in tennis shoes every day, and check Facebook all day, and as long as I get my work done, no one cares! And just the other day, my boss was joking about me not taking ENOUGH time off!

And my department director changed his title to 'TK-427' in our official records.

I really love my job.

Bronchitis. :(

Do bad things ALWAYS come in threes?

Home, but not entirely happily so. Some highlights (and lowlights?) of the last couple weeks, in no particular order. With any luck, travelogue will make it up here sooner than later, but... well... this is me, so.

+Miyavi is so freaking adorable live. Even if his fans are scary.

+I get home to find that that very night, my phone gets the new Android OS. It is a shiny OS.

-I have no krillia OR transitorial. I cannot even explain how much that hurts.

-The wireless internet that I have been stealing *ahem* borrowing for the last many months since I got the baby is now gone. How much does that suck?

+While there is currently no food in my house, I do know that the grocery store has many options that are much less scary than some of the things in Japan. Shut up, my stomach is very delicate. >.>;

-I slept for 12 fucking hours last night. WTF.

-I have to unpack. *cries forever*

+There are shinies in my bags, whenever I get around to unpacking. Including 3hree Voices.

+My bug bites don't itch anymore!

-...But now they sort of look like I have leprosy.

...I got the job? o.O

Three days in, and you are so fucking fired, April. You are dead to me. From now on, the year only has eleven months.

Merry Christmas, flist! Mine is starting out great, thanks. It's a white Christmas here, still snowing, so I get to leave a bit early for work in case the roads are bad, but then after it's church with the family and to my aunt's for our gathering. Whoever manages to make it through the brewing blizzard, anyway.

Oh, and my toilet tried to overflow this morning.

Ho Ho Ho!
