Yep -- pretty much lost an afternoon and evening to reading the Penguin and restoring relevent scene snippets for the proposed NaNo project.

The proposed NaNo project that I'm beginning to realize there is no way in HELL I'm going to be able to wait thirty days to start. Not and stay sane. *g* It's been three years since I've worked seriously with these characters -- I'm practically drowning in the literary NRE.

Today absolutely must be devoted to more practical pursuits. Dad has a podiatrist appointment this morning -- Robin has a dentist appointment this afternoon. Laundry to do, bathroom to clean, catbox to scoop, deposits to make, bills to pay...all the critical stuff that keeps this place running.

*yawn*

Nonono -- not going back to bed. Not even as a lark. Did that yesterday, and ended up shooting most of the morning in the proverbial foot. *slaps face*

Aw crap -- also wanted to acknowledge beeber2's birthday in the old LJ yesterday. Happy birthday, beeber2!

Wonder if the podiatrist's office has wireless I can crib off of? The amount of time I spend in the waiting room would be good for catching up on the BSG webisodes (is it Friday yet? Is it? Huh?).

Wank continues apace in lj_biz regarding sponsored communities/forums. Much apologizing and acknowledging of wankitude going on -- we're still waiting for them to address the fandom concerns. I don't often take moral high ground positions -- and while the idea of being whored out like a corporate commodity is admittedly gross, as long as they let me keep it out of my LJ experience, I'll most likely stick around.

However, if the fic and icon experience is compromised (and admittedly I can't imagine under the current situation where it wouldn't be) -- then my LJ enjoyment *is* compromised.

And ultimately, it *is* all about me, no? :)

Coffee. Must have coffee. And make bed.

Not necessarily in that order.

First of all: *glomps f-list*

Seriously -- you guys are the best! Thank you *so* much for the support and insight. Thank you those who called to check on me as well as those who commented.

I'm okay. Really. Not only because of you guys, but because none of what happened yesterday has any bearing on reality. He's the one sibling I have who hasn't bothered to ask, call or check up and find out what's really going on -- how can I possibly take his opinion of things seriously?

Was I indiscreet in what I said? Yeah -- I'll own that. Have I been indiscreet in what I've posted here in the past?

Yeah. I'll own that too.

Am I likely to be indiscreet about what I say in the future? I could say I hope not, but...well...probably.

The important thing to remember at all times is that this is *my* place to vent and express my opinion about my life and the people in it. A lot of the more personal stuff is restricted access -- most of what I write isn't.

You come here, you read my shit, you take your chances on what you might find. Normal, sane human beings *ask* if they want clarification, further details, or are troubled by something I said. Suprisingly enough, I do actually have a code of ethics on how I deal with talking about other people in public posts -- most of the time if you don't want me expressing my opinion about you to the entire internet I will at the *very* least restrict access to it.

Normal, sane human beings *ask*. They don't stew and then attack. That way lies drama, and we don't do that here.

To that end, uselessbrother is now banned. Any further sockpuppets traceable to that particular sibling will be banned as well, without engaging them in any sort of discussion whatsoever. If he wants to communicate with me on any subject, he can follow the rest of our siblings' lead and pick up the fucking phone.

All comment threads responding to uselessbrother's screed have been frozen, and I would consider it a personal favor if you guys wouldn't add anything to them anymore.

*sprays Febreze with Pet Odor Controlling Enzyme around to get rid of smell*

It's a new day. It's Friday! I'm leaving for San Diego in a matter of days. There is porn to write, fangirling to do, and lots and lots of navel-gazing.

But first? Shower.

...but I'm too much of a computer idiot to know how to get it in here!

Anyone want to clue me in -- do I actually need to have a website to implant this measly .jpg in my LJ?
