But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

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

Timelies all!

Just got back from daytripping Shore Leave, a local fan-run media con. Headliner was William Shatner, but I was more interested in Ming-Na Wen and Allison Scagliotti. Mr. S was being especially challenging, so that wasn't fun.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My band played at a local event, and the crowd was AWESOME. We played an encore! Also one of the leaders got us pizza and then I went for ice cream with friends. All in all, an excellent afternoon.

And I am on vacation!!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

If you went to see Ming-Na Wen, you were probably in the same room as one of my and shrift's oldest fannish friends. She got some cute finger puppets in (I assume) the dealer room.

Unspecific ~ma to ND and Pix (psst, btw, lots of love too.), and ~ma to Kate's dad. Also, much ~ma to all others who need it, as I skimmed more than a bit.

Our wings are not tired.

Last update I read said 4 of the boys in Thailand have been rescued and they are working on getting them all out now during a weather break.

I put on a medium-length podcast and did both vacuuming and cleaned the litter box! Woot.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Library informed me that they want their book back, as it has been in my possession for six weeks. Only six weeks. C'mon, library. It's practically like dating. You cannot ask me to return an item of interest after merely six weeks (OK, technically you can, but morally, really?). The book has only now begun to discover the way the sun casts its rays through the window and onto the shelf it is stored safely on; When I am going to bed; What I'm drinking next to my reading list. I finally got used to the damn font the print chose. Interrupting this affair so soon is simply unjust.

(And they say I do not have a romantic soul).

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Nice imagery there, Shir. I feel you-the library revoked my card. I didn't want to give the books back.

I wake from panic dreams a few times a year. They all involve being trapped underground, or under water. I started thinking about the kids in the cave before I fell asleep last night and had to get up, drink some water, walk around, make up stories in my head and read for a while before I could (don't look at the elephant!) put them out of mind enough to sleep. I'm glad the rescue efforts are succeeding.

~ma to the PixDesigns.

And yeah, my vote was Welcome to the Jungle, as well.
