Why hello there!

Thanks to aldehyde and deeplyunhip for your lovely cards! I found them waiting for me when I got in last night. That does mean I'm back in the east, happily settling back into routines. I missed you, eddoes and kolhrabi! (Could not find them on the west coast and it was sad.) I'm currently losing the jet lag battle, but give it a few days; I always have a harder time coming east than going west.

Though it wasn't all on what I should have been working on (ficathon deadline is starting to loom), I wrote some comment fic over the holidays. Riley-centric TSCC fic here, Martha-centric Doctor Who fic here, Torchwood Jack fic here and a little bit of love for Supernatural's Ellen Harvelle.

I'm not entirely happy with the Martha fic in particular; I'm far too wordy and maybe it's formality that I don't like in the tone, but I can't quite put my finger on the problem with it. I like the Jack piece best. I'm so much more comfortable with dialogue!

Shway, I am now back online fora few days. This whole no monday through thursday thing really sucks.

I leave for Europe I week today. :) I'm very excited. I'm going to be rooming with a friend I've lived with before, and we don't work so well as roomates. She's a neat freak and she always takes the best bed (which only sucks when you're on a boat), but I'm not a neat freak. Of course, it didn't help that our room was the size of a sliver, and the only place to leave my bad *was* in the entrance way, and it was really hard to keep neat because there was no where on the floor to pack it up again, and my bed was a bad place to do it because it was a bunk bed, and I couldn't even sit up when I was under there... I hope it works out better this year. We also had so issues with wake-up calls, which almost rate as nasty on her part, but again, I'm healthier this year, so we'll see.

I have Kung Fu very soon. It's exciting. I get to punch and kick things. And run around the room until I could drop. :)

I've been trying to skim through Gabrielle Roy's autobiography for a school project, and I keep realizing I'm reading, not skimming. She's an amazing author.

This is a very random, very big, very jam-packed post. :) Maybe I'm jumping aorund just neough to so that people with long attention spans won't get bored, and people with short attention spans won't get bored.

Alright. Shutting up.
