ROLL CALL
ALRIGHTY LJ
NOBODY IS POSTING (INCLUDING ME)
who actually still visits this site on a regular basis? And what, exactly, is that regular basis? This is just me being curious I'm not going to go anywhere and half of us are also Facebook friends but you know.
ALSO if you are not spending time here, are you spending it on another site, or are you too busy being consumed with ~*~real life~*~?
also I am trying to decide which project I should work on over this whole nine-month deployment thing. I am slowly getting more settled and accepting that This Is My Life ("yeah! I spent the majority of my first year of marriage apart from my husband! so much for 'alone time before having children'" mostly I jest but it is partially true sob) and soonce I beat ME2 and then ME3 and Kaidan comes back and tells me he's sorry and he loves me and I can say IT'S OKAY, I LOVED YOU ALL ALONG much to Quark's disgust as that happens and I get on a schedule (studying Old English? Who has to study for a...language course...sob) I will be WRITING and I have to finish Godbaby fic
(snippet NO STEALING: The pounding grows quieter. I am afraid to look over the wall, and I do not know why. I have only ever spoken to Mother and to the elves. Mother taught me a greeting, but I do not know if the girl—if it is a girl—will understand me. And she is only one person, and Mother told me to find a town. I think that if I wait, she and the animals will go away. I am good at sitting still for hours, at hiding from the sight of those around me. I will wait.
The grass itches at my hands, but I do not move. The smell of the animals is strong and unpleasant, but I do not cough. The sun becomes brighter and brighter in the sky, and sweat drips into my eyes, and I barely blink. I am not here, I think. I think of nothing else.)
but also I want to work on a novel so that WP has something to read that is my fanfiction. Top choices are Goblin Novel (probably he would like it best, but it needs serious serious work because I wrote it during first semester senior year which was INSANE and Pictash spends a lot of time in a library doing research) and 2010 NaNo That Went Nowhere (the two main characters don't have names, also they are basically a younger version of Nevalle and Tanithar) (her name is either Theresa or Tabitha, but Tabitha is too close to Tanithar and I don't like the way Theresa looks, though I like the sound of it) (anyway it's my Generic Fantasy Novel in the same way that the Goblin Novel is my Subversion of the Generic Fantasy Novel). SUGGESTIONS WELCOME.
okay okay time to go eat lunch and borrow Quark's shower and pay my rent and get a library card WOOT.

eta: MY UPSTAIRS NEIGHBOR IS WATCHING SLEEPING BEAUTY is it wrong to want to knock on their door and tell them how cool they are. (Actually I think they have small children, but still. This has made my early afternoon.)

I have a tumblr, but it's just the kinda thing I spend mindless time scrolling through.
no subject
the more I hear about tumblr, the more it seems like if I ever want to be productive again I must never ever get one. :-b
AUDREYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY you have awesome taste in music and you're fantastic at sharing it with other people and you were actually brave enough to leave the internet for a month and I admire that HUGELY because I'm not sure I'll ever actually take that plunge--I mean, it shows a real strength of character, whether you think that or not, to make that first step. And you used your time productively and you're WRITING and I think that's awesome. Rather like you. I'm glad you've got a stable work situation. Also I love your icon. :-)

And you're totally right about routines. With my "stable job", I feel like my life is really boring. And there isn't a big fandom I'm super into to make me post all the time. I didn't even do that much with Korra. And I love Doctor Who, but...Doctor Who could be its own post on my journal with all my conflicting feelings about it lately. So I won't go there, especially since you don't watch it.
Back to the whole lj internet thing, even though I've drawn back, it makes me sad that other friends are drawing back too. And that is just a consequence of growing up. So many of us were in high school when we were super into lj and now we're out of college or older than that, and getting jobs and getting married and suddenly there are all these responsibilities. There's actually a lot of good in it, but it still makes me sad. Does that make sense?
Aww, ♥
