OK, in some respects I totally suck. Like, for example, the rayk97s story challenge? For which I signed up back in January, and then promptly forgot all about, which would be embarrassing enough, but then there's the part where I also neglected to friend the community LJ and hence failed to take the basic step necessary to get myself sent reminders? Yeah, those would be a few of the totally-sucking aspects. So I will not have the story done on time, and I deeply apologize to pearl_o for that. I do have, like, a concept, and a story may come out of that at some point. But for now it's just some random notes, and me sitting around fumbling for the cheap excuses.

Like, for example, um -- work stress! Right, the part where I and co-workers still don't know what, if any, jobs we'll have come summer! Still totally up in the air! (I may quite possibly end up being offered Big Prestigious Position, but I'm very unsure about how much I actually want it.) (Well, I don't really "want" it, actually -- the question is more whether it'd be better or worse than the alternatives.) But in any event -- very distracting!

And, um, weather! Yes, we had a foot and a half of snow in the past week, more than in the entire rest of the winter combined! And, granted, it's all rapidly turning into great arctic seas of slush, but clearly a person can't be expected to write in such circumstances, eh?

But actually -- it's just that I am mired down in the La Brea Suck-Pits. Woe.

Aw, dude, don't worry about it at all. This is one of the fic things that's supposed to be fun and not stressful, you know? It's not like you're writing for someone else who's going to be disappointed or anything.

I look forward to the possibility of a new Kat dS story in the future -- whenever that may be.

*snug*

My hand to god, it'll get done someday, I've had too much fun planning it out to just ditch it. In the meanwhile, I'll post with this icon (*pointing*), which nicely shorthands a central theme thereof.

I am so using that as a .sig.

Also - I LOVES YA, BABE. And I miss talking to you! When just_eunice and pipsqueaky and shrift move here in May, you should totally come down. Maybe we'll have a huge combination house-warming party and invite the locals and semi-locals.

Loving you back!! and W00T! for your kickboxing, size-dropping self!

I'd love to get down there and see you sometime, either as part of a big housewarming shebang, or just a relaxed hanging-out weekend with you and Zen and whoever else might be around.

Yes, yes, yes! It would be so wonderful to see you! And bring Deb, too!

My back and shoulders are still protesting.

Right there with ya. But isn't it nice and squishy?

There was one point where I was so sore and stiff from shoveling, and the snow was so heavy and awful and sticking to the shovel -- I just lost it completely and started *kicking a snowbank*. And making these little angry growly sounds.

God, it's a damn good thing the whole winter wasn't this bad, or I'd be in a cage somewhere...
