sit down son

So my MOTHER, of all people, pointed out to me that I pretty much never update this anymore. When that happens, I think it's definitely time for an update.

1. I'm doing well at the job still, actually, better than I had been before the past few weeks! I've done 20% of the store's income so far this month, which is a good indicator of excellent paychecks. The last one made me QUITE happy and if I hold the same this week, well. It should be likewise excellent. /CROSSES FINGERS. Work is most of what I do these days, though I do go out a bit and have actually started making FRIENDS around here, finally. So it's a bit more fun. There are still people at my job who sometimes make me want to kill babies, but I think that will always be true. Nuff said on that subject!

2. GO VISIT DALEK CULLEN ON TUMBLR!! He safely made it to mythologiced a while back now, and she took him on a tour of her fine city and has posted some of the most hilarious pictures. Do it. Do it now, you won't regret it. I got a tumblr for the purpose of following it but....I don't really know what to do with it. I'm themegaloo there too, if you'd like to, yanno, clue me in on what its purpose is?

3. I AM OFFICIALLY GOING TO DRAGONCON AGAIN THIS YEAR. Missing it last year was well worth it for being in France, but I'm quite pleased to be going back! It was a blast the year before, and I'm going to be a bit better prepared this time (IE, not starving myself, knowing the PIN for my debit card, and not going around almost entirely in partially borrowed costumes!) Though it's a bit more hassle since I no longer live an easy 2 hour drive away. Booked my plane ticket yesterday and will be staying with ninepointfivemm. Which brings me to ask- anyone on the flist other than her & pacergal84 planning to be there? LET ME KNOWWWW.

4. Have been randomly sucked back into HP fandom. Are there any recent epics out there? You know the sort, world building with a touch of slash (most pairings accepted!) that SUCK YOU IN? I've...been through most of my old favorites already, avoiding the abandoned WiPs because they still make me unaccountably sad.

5. There is no five. Because it's the number of chaos and I like the idea of ending on chaos.

So it apparently really BOTHERS my sister that I don't always get out of my PJs on days when I don't expect to be doing anything or whatever. they're just more comfortable, yanno? And it's not like I run around in lingerie. I wear perfectly normal PJ pants and a tank top WITH a bra. -_-; I think she's just jealous that she could never allow herself to be this comfy.

That said, I've been pretty lazy this week. I've stayed in PJs for most of the time since RenFest on Monday, because walking around in full pirate regalia in that heat sorta kinda exhausted me. Along with the driving. Oh, the driving. But it was FANTASTICALLY FUN. Before that I had relatives in town like crazy for Laura's HS graduation and was going through the OMG YOU'RE BACK IN TOWN week of overly-social-with-people-I-don't-really-know fun times. So yes, I've been taking it easy for the past few days. :D

Robin also made the comment that MOST of the world needs to actually be ENTERTAINED, and that I was crazy for my ability to just lounge and not be bothered in the least by it.

Really, I've just been reading. I'm working on Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by Joyce and on re-going through the entirety of sam_storyteller. For at least the third time, I think. I'm better at navigating it now though, so I think I've actually been reading stuff that I'd never found before. Which is somewhat surprising, really. He has got SUCH a knack for getting into Remus's head and writing amazing prose. Never time wasted there, I tell you. But I've basically just been lounging and reading HP fic, some of which are very long and I've apparently read like, 4 times now. @_@

Which brings me to mallowmateys! I'm kind of super excited because my random HP fic binge has revived my complete and utter adoration for Remus Lupin and it dawned on me that there is NO character I lvoe playing as much as I loved playing him. So I'm going to play him as a pirate. WHY NOT, I SAY!! It's going to be fantastic. *_*

I think I'm going to put on real clothes now. Just to fuck with Robin's head when she gets home. >D
