update

[dragojustine]

So I went incommunicado for a month, during which time I, in no particular order:

*Went to bitchinparty, had the time of my life, danced a lot, and met truly wonderful people who I failed spectacularly to friend/keep up with. Ooops.

*Had a weekend long tournament and poker party (Oh god, I love poker so much. It's so hard to get competent people together to play for low stakes offline, but that's really the only way to do it, and I always forget how fun it is).

*Got sick, had my internet disconnected, ended up unemployed, and went into introvert mode.

*Officially sent in a $500 deposit and housing application for Columbia and then freaked the fuck out.

*Became a crazy screaming obsessed Adam Lambert fangirl (there may be a pimping post in your future, even though I know I'm the last person on this bandwagon and nobody left to pimp, just because I can't help myself).

How is it with you all? I've missed you!

hi! great to see you! i'm just working and writing. the usual. no news is good news.

so looking forward to your posts about columbia. GO YOU!!!!!

Hi there! It was great meeting you at BP. I would have loved a poker game!

[dragojustine]

You too! And the poker game wasn't fannish, but my local D&D group- but I can never make them play, so if you know of low-stakes games locally, hook me up. It'd be fun.

Well, damn!

Now I'm even more upset I worked all the way through bitchin' party weekend.

Re: Well, damn!

[dragojustine]

It really was a hell of a party. I didn't know you were local, actually- would have loved to see you there.

Pimping posts are doubly fun for people who come pre-pimped, IMO.

And Columbia--that's fantastic! My baby sister is doing summer courses there this summer (she's at Wellesley normally). You're going to love it, I'm sure.

[dragojustine]

Oh, awesome! Hope your sister has fun. If she has any advice on the area, she should pass it on. (Wellesley? That's very cool)

and went into introvert mode

That much I'd gathered, but had my internet disconnected, ended up unemployed? Did I really miss this? Obviously I haven't been paying any attention to you whatsoever. God, I'm so, so sorry.

[dragojustine]

Well, the internet disconnection was for a total of 18 hours before I convinced dad no, really, we really do need to pay this bill, and the "ended up unemployed" thing happened Saturday, because my last two regular students both suddenly ran into financial difficulties and couldn't afford to keep meeting with me. You have been paying plenty of attention, no fear.

Hey, best wishes for Columbia! That's great news. Hope this means thing will be improving all around for you.

Also, you're not the last person to discover the awesome that is Adam Lambert. i've never watched AI, but last week I read a Jensen/Adam story on sawedoff_recs that I found so charming I actually listened to one of his songs when it was played on the radio. I was really impressed with his voice, and now I think I'm a fan...so, pimp away!

[dragojustine]

Ooooh! I will absolutely pimp you when I get home tonight. I can hook you up with so much good stuff! Tell me, what kind of music do you normally like? I mean, are you a rock girl or a pop girl? The man has the voice of a god and I will totally hook you up with videos.

[sothcweden]

I'm poly-fannish when it comes to music. I listen to a lot of everything except rap and hip-hop, which I take in smaller bites, so I'll take anything you want to point me at! From what little I've heard he's got great control over his voice, and that impresses me even more than the moves he clearly has.

(Oh god, I love poker so much. It's so hard to get competent people together to play for low stakes offline, but that's really the only way to do it, and I always forget how fun it is).

WORD.

(I need to write a poker post!)

[dragojustine]

You really, really do.

Hi you!

I was incommunicado for a while too (RL is so inconvenient) and my muse has taken a bit of a hike. So many ideas, such little concentration!
