S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

To echo Holli, I am a college student!

I am luckily blessed with wonderful friends, and have resolved my term bill to the point that I'm staying in school for the semester. I've moved into my dorm, gotten my books, and am now waiting to start classes on Thursday. Thanks to everyone for the advice and support ya'll gave me this summer.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

My grandmother passed away this morning.

It is a blessing and also very sad.

Probably be gray for a few days, maybe not... I'm sort of numb.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I'm back from Toronto!

I had a great trip! Did some siteseeing, met Halifax Buffistas, went to a fun(if disorganized) Worldcon....

Oh yeah, and I got engaged.

Hello, Buffistas!

Just dropping in to let y'all know that I've got a (very) short story up at Flashquake--it's in the "Editor's Picks" section. It's called "Vagina Music," but it's not at all porny, more's the pity. I hope y'all enjoy it nonetheless.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

My last surviving grandparent passed away tuesday morning, Ines Camara. Since she was living in Portugal and local custom is for speedy burials, only my parents were able to finagle their way onto a TAP flight in order to make the Wednesday morning service.

Oddly enough, that is the thing I am most upset at, that I won't be able to make it.

hip deep in pie

It would be appreciated if some of the patented Buffista jobma could be directed my way tomorrow AM. I have an interview for the position I am acting in right now. There are pretty good odds that I will get the job, but I don't want to jinx myself!

Well I have snost and lost.

Buffistas jobma can't be beat - my husband has received an offer on the job he interviewed for on Tuesday! Now let the moving (from PA to MA) begin... Speaking of which, if anyone has an info on the Marlborough, MA area (or w/in 30 min of that area), we'd appreciate it. The em address in my profile is good. Thanks!
