Hello, fandom!

OK, back from DC.

You were in DC?, I hear you ask. Funny; I totally missed that.

TO be perfectly honest, so did I - I mean, I knew I was going to DC, and I knew I was going the first week in August, and, yeah, that's now...but dude, wait: that's now? Sheee-it.

Still, despite my general dislike of Going Places on vacation (I'm much more a fan of Sitting Around, Maybe Going Downtown If It Cools Down A Bit, And Taking Lots Of Naps), it was a lot of fun. The grandparents were...much less Old People than I remember them being, which is maybe a factor of being there with the family, and maybe a factor of only really being there for three days, and maybe even a factor of my increased maturity (shut up! it could happen!).

And DC is awesome. Granted, it's not My City, because that's Chicago or possibly somewhere I haven't been yet...but it's still awesome. Being there, seeing the rush of life, riding public transit and experiencing all the things that large cities have going for them...it did a lot to remind me that, actually, yes: I do like large cities.

(except: OMG HOT! Fuck you, 100 degrees fahrenheit; I live in a cabin for two months a year.)

And the family was...well, if you'll allow me a couple of moments of wanting to fucking eviscerate them all, they were pretty awesome. And the evisceration was largely due to them being...up, and me being sweaty and dehydrated and On The Rag in a way I'm not, usually, so it's pretty low-key.

And, really? I do love my family. They're awesome people, and I recognize that, when they're not pissing me off beyond all belief.

Other news: I have the all-clear to move into the basement! HOORAY!

I have recorded SGA, because I Abuse My Mother's Technology: HOORAY!

I don't have to get up tomorrow! Hooray!

I'm...not even close to done with my flist recap. And I've been gone since WEDNESDAY. Holy crap, you guys.

I think I'm getting sick, too - ears are doing that wacky thing, and I feel icky and ill. Plus I definitely fucked up my leg at some point, because it's been twinging more and more loudly ever since Wednesday. Yay for that! Or, well, yay for that happening when I don't actually need my physical form that much.

I have a meme! *Sheeps*

Ask me anything you want about any of my stories: how I thought of the idea, what I did to write it, what I was thinking when I wrote it, what I feel about it now, what I wish I'd done differently, etc. Or ask any of the characters from particular stories something you want to know, and get an answer from them. Or both.

Also: This makes me entirely too happy (spoilers for later eps of SGA s3). Because...dude, just BECAUSE
