Also woot erika for writing. I need to kick myself into doing that one of these days.
'Potential'
Delurking 1: Because we don't always check our e-mail.
I can attest that erika is indeed writing, and lo, it is fun and good. And some dry-ass lines that made me snicker good.
I gotta (in my copious free time) start working on some fiction. Maybe a short.
Shit, I'm nattering. Sorry.
Thanks.
I have stories coming out in Strange Horizons and Daily Science Fiction
That's awesome, Holli!
I haven't posted here yet this year, so I may as well. I drop in and out of lurky status depending on what I have going on. As far as I know, I'm the only St. Louis Buffista at the moment. I used to be out in Baltimore until about five years ago, but I relocated back to my hometown after getting laid off.
I'm currently working at a financial services company, which means I've been white-knuckling the past few years a bit. The company is doing well, and there haven't been any layoffs, but still... Anyhow, I'm enjoying my work very much.
I enjoy cooking, gardening, knitting, writing, and weight lifting. I also write, but haven't had much luck in venturing past fanfic as of yet.
These days, I hang out in the Supernatural thread, and occasionally Bitches and Natter. I've been known to drop by Boxed Set, Literary, and the fic threads as well.
Holli, that's awesome! I'm glad you're doing well.
Hi, kind folkses. I haven't had much time to lurk here of late, but things have settled for me after about five years of changing addresses. Stability, I haz it. I'm still not employed full-time because, guess what, the SF Bay Area has plenty of web designers. But life has treated me well.
Off to look at the music thread.
Bridget! It's good to see your font and hear that you are well.
I'm pretty sure I'm not considered a lurker, but a quick update is always helpful, right?
Still married to Pete (who is a curmudgeon, but an adorable one), still in Seattle (tho' there are people actively lobbying to get us to move to L.A.), still running the Gothic Charm School site. I'm also working on a fiction project, am the "professional" Goth advisor for an indie teen comedy, and have a couple other things I'm working on for my eventual world domination.
This year has been pretty spectacularly awful (three deaths in the family in four months, including my Mom), and I wouldn't have gotten through it without the kindness of people here.
I didn't mean to kill the delurking thread! I swear!
You didn't! Silly.
