A few of my poems won a (unspecified) runner-up prize in the Philadelphia Citypaper's 2002 Writing awards.
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

It's with regret that I say I'm going to try and go dark for a while.
It's not that I'm addicted to this place, it's just that I'm spending so much time here it's affecting my work -- Oh. Ah. Maybe I am addicted.
It's not normally a compliment to say "you guys are more fun than work" but I really enjoy my work most of the time.
Seriously though, I'm going to try and just come here evenings and weekends for a while, not be logged on all the time, especially now that the new year has started up properly. I want the board to be less of a guilty pleasure and more of a treat I've earned.

Call this a "back from the near-dead" multipart announcement post:
I am still employed, though the DH has been looking for over six months now. We're filing for Chapter 7 (full discharge) bankruptcy sometime this month due to this. Vibes for us getting our apartment clean (long story) and the job market picking up soon after would be appreciated.
There are other things I could discuss, but I fear this would become a bit Nattery if I did.
I'm probably going to stay semi-dark due to other things eating my computer time *cough*LiveJournal*cough*, but I'm trying to keep in better touch with all y'all again. I miss you guys.

Thrive to spite them
Tomorrow is my big Return to School. I'm rather nervous. I'm going into the legal secretary program at the votech school. Which feels like an underwhelming announcement after all the cool colleges that other Buffistas are attending or have been accepted to, but I'm very excited.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I just finished telling my bosses that the job isn't working out for me. It went pretty well. We haven't set a definite end date, and one of them suggested that I keep it while they look for a replacement and I go ahead and look for a new job. I think I might go that route--it should give me another month or so at my present salary, which is higher than I could hope to make temping.

I may have to seize the cat.
I'm going dark.
I need to live not in front of my computer.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.
Going dark for a while.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Going very dim for a couple of weeks. e-mail if you need to get in touch.
