I am still alive, in case anyone wondered, and now (as of yesterday) legally able to buy alcohol. Hooray!

We may have a place to live some time next week - it is not ideal, as it's kind of small, still has the problem where I can't go anywhere Beka doesn't drive me, and has no bathtub, just a shower, but it's only temporary. We're planning to find a better place in spring or summer, whenever some of the students clear out and give us a few more options. (Besides the lack of bathtub, which is disappointing because I tend to take baths when I am just too cold to warm up any other way, it isn't a half-bad place to stay for winter, because there's room for Ace to run around in the snow. Ace. Loves. Snow. It's adorable.)

All of this is assuming the landlord was not serious about the part of the lease where it says the cats need to be declawed. He probably isn't, as he didn't write it himself, and he didn't mention it when we talked to him, but if he actually was serious about it, the answer is FUCK NO and we're back to square one. Mrrph.

Something in my shoulder has knotted up horribly and will not let go. I still have some of the painkillers from my ear infection, so I've been using those when it gets horrible - it doesn't so much stop the pain as stop me caring quite so much about the pain, but it's the best I can do. When I run out of that... I dunno. I'll probably see how well vodka works as a muscle relaxant in this case.

I need to start putting together stuff for NaNo. I'm not doing a proper novel this year, just working on projects that need to be finished up, but I am still going to try to hit 50,000 words in the month. My username over there is the same as here, allfireburns, so if you'd like to add me as a writing buddy over there, go for it! (Of course, putting together stuff for NaNo will probably have to wait until I get the stuff off my hard drive back from Best Buy. ARGH. I am kicking myself for not backing up that plot outline elsewhere, but I was not planning on Gwen freaking out so badly less than a year after I got her.)

EDIT: Ohfuck. And then I go and glance at a former friend's journal, something I should never do, because she wished me happy birthday even though we haven't spoken in more than a year and now I am going to cry.

*stares at NaNo site* Theoretically, I should put together stuff for that, even if I'm doing the same thing... But... Haaah. I'm probably going to be doing so much rewriting that trying to figure out where the new words end and where the old ones began is gonna make my head go asplode. Pffft. Also, I have way too many writing projects. Is a problem. :| EITHER WAY, I WILL JOIN YOU IN A FRENZY OF WRITING ALL THE THINGS.

....That was... Somehow necessary. I dunno.

THE GOOD THING ABOUT THIS IS IF WE GET FED UP WITH ONE PROJECT, WE CAN SHOVE IT IN A CORNER AND WORK ON ANOTHER FOR A WHILE. I don't care if it's so far from technical NaNo rules, all I care about is the productivity. And goddamn it, I am finishing at least one of my big projects. I AM.

EXACTLY. Productivity is good. And I hope to finish one thing too... Either Lights or my BigBang. ...Switching from fandom to original is going to either be awesome for my sanity or suck for it.

Happy Birthday, again! *noms forever*

Good luck on getting that place to live! I hope it all goes through okay even if it's only temporary!

*huggles for the pain and for the sadness coming from reading a former friend's journal* :< I hope you feel better sooooon.

Thank you. ♥

I'm a little flaily about it because I'll be stuck inside again and there is no bath, but... well, pretty soon there'll be snow all over and I won't want to walk anywhere anyway for a while, so I guess it's no big deal. And once we have a place to live, we can finally get rid of the damn trailer and get jobs! Woohoo!

*Snuggleloves* I'm mostly okay, just... wargh. I was not expecting that.

Yes, I would be flaily about that, too, but you're right. When winter is in full swing, it's no fun to go out in it anyway. :| Except for short periods to build snowmen and snowforts. I'm not 5 years old. I promise.

Wooh!

*snuggles* Oh, totally. When stuff like that happens all unexpected like even if it's not... Man, i don't know where I'm going with this sentence so I'm going to stop it before I try to finish and fail horribly. XD *NOMS AND FLEES*

I'm sorry the former friend's journal entry made you sad. *clingloves*

THANK YOU. Beka has promised to drag me to a bar or something soon. Not that I... haven't been to bars before, but not legally.

*Snuggles* Thank you for that too. ♥

IF I WAS THERE, I'd bust out all the tequila and take you to a cantina or something. Mexican style. Which probably wouldn't be a good idea since last time I did that mariachis were involved. XD

As it is I will be there in spirit!

*HUGS* Anytime, srsly. <3
