I’m Back

I took an internet hiatus yesterday after I stayed up until past 3 a.m. polishing my space_wrapped story. Believe it or not, when I was ready to post it at the comm, I had literal heart palpitations – which has never happened to me before over posting fic. I thought oh god, what have I …

Interesting, as a Vulcan would say.

I just ran across the word “anti-slash”. Hrm. Okay, so technically I know what it means. But is it a boycott of slash fiction or just, ya know, referencing non-slash (which seems like a safer term to me anyway)? Also, I don’t really hang out in places where slash fics are considered heretical or disgusting …

Oh the Joy of Temp Employment

I just worked myself out of a job. :/ I said I was an auditor, right? A temp-auditor brought in to do IT SOX testing for a very large company’s fall audit, spanning 3 months. My experience at IT auditing, or auditing period? Absolutely zero. There are two others in the IT Internal Audit department; …

A meme, because I can. :) Comment to this post, and I will list five things I associate with you. They might make sense or they might be totally random. Then post that list, with your commentary, to your LJ (or just add a reply back to me). Other people (including me) can get lists …

You all are the best, really. Thank you on behalf of both my mother and myself. And thank you again to those people sending me Amazon Gift cards. I just don’t know what to say except THANK YOU FOREVER AND EVER. I never expected any gifts and I am simply amazed at the generosity and …

Yesterday my harddrive with my music collection died. Last night my mother discovered a serious water pipe leak in the house neither of us can afford. Then after lunch today I get a call that my mother has fallen at work and possibly broken her arm. I am with her now waiting on the x-ray …

An Unfortunate Turn of Events

So I was just blithely typing along on my old desktop when my hard drive bit the dust. As in it made this sad little noise of dying (literally) and the computer shut down. Am I certain it’s physically dead? YES. *chokes a little* Do you know what the worst part is? Can you guess? …

Ugh. I cannot focus. I cannot focus on work or focus on writing or – OH LOOK AT THE PRETTY BUTTERFLY GOING BY THE WINDOW… *headdesk* *headdesk* *headdesk* I’ve been like this since lunch. Things are not getting done.

Tonight is a Halloween Moon.

I just was driving home from my father’s house a few minutes ago when I noticed that the moon is a perfect Halloween moon tonight – full and glowing orange. I kid you not. Unfortunately, where I live the trees are now blocking the view so I can’t take a good picture of it. But …

Karl is not quite in his birthday suit… But he definitely wants some company because… He’s been thinking really hard on how to reveal a part of himself you may not know about. And that is… . . . . . . HE MIGHT HAVE MULTIPLE PERSONALITY DISORDER. WHOOPS. WAS HE SUPPOSED TO TELL YOU …

How Did I End Up Here Again?

Once again I am in a situation where I am doing more work than my other officemates combined. I do five things to their one… and get paid much less. Seriously, employers?? Can you NOT take advantage of a person down on his or her luck in the middle of a terrible job economy? I …

Has anyone seen my brain? I think it’s gone missing again… though, not ‘napped like Spock’s brain, which could only end awkwardly, yeah? (Especially because I lack a McCoy to reattach the appropriate nerve endings.) Regardless of Missing: Brain of KLMeri [please message if found, thx], I hope to have some fic posted tomorrow. Can’t …

How are things going with the startrekbigbang stories, y’all? I hear the deadline for rough drafts is on Thursday (?). Are you supposed to be writing right now instead of browsing your friends’ page? :) I’m here to cheerlead if anyone needs it, or to simply hold your hand. I think this past weekend was …
