panik | I know I'm not around much these days

Don't worry, this is not one of those long, angsty RL-SUKZ! type entries, just something of an apology I suppose, a rather low-key (and somewhat dull) FRIDAY! post if you will.

RL doesn't suck exactly, it's just mentalist-busy, ergo I never have much to post about, tbh. My online life, such as it is, is much like my RL right now, mostly about finishing things and drawing lines and that's no fun to talk about. Must have something to do with that wild and crazy neptune-chiron-jupiter conjunction sitting right on top of me MC/Chiron conjunction, opposite me natal uranus! . ::laffs like drain, wipes eyes, chuckles to self for hours:: Ah, astrology, you nutter. What am I to make of you!

Blue is finished now, beta'd and posted which is a great weight off I must say. I need to set up a new website and get my stuff on to ASR3 but that must wait a while till the crazy settles a little. I was reminded in an email about the LMFAs. I should think about nominating, I never seem to have the time, but I must make time for there is much to be nommed. I may not be the greatest feedbacker in the world but I always nom, it's important.

Decimated, the story I'm writing with

fluterbev is ongoing (and delicious, trust me, this is the good stuff *G* It makes me giggle in evil glee anyway and that's usually a good sign) keeps stalling because we're both so busy. I'm trying to get a routine/rhythm going to speed my progress on that a little.

The novel, Entanglement - was going well. I'm on the second draft, mosty rewrites, hit a snaggy but of plot but sorted it, have three new chapters written and all the new ones I'll need for the first half of the book plotted, but it's also fallen under the wheels of TIME (which is kinda ironic given that the theme of the thing is the notion that time does not really exist) and I've not touched it since Monday, which is pisspoor of me I know but there it is. I've shifted the day-to-day updates on this to my blog now so's not to annoy and confuse.

The Fannish Me, is non-existent, sadly. All my fannish toys have been put away in their box. In part it's because my fannish mind is playing second fiddle to the novel, which is absorbing my creative juice like a massive, fusion-powered sponge of Ultimate Power and also because, TS aside, which is a constant, the shiny backdrop to my inner-life, there's nothing new going on that holds the slightest whiff of delight for me. No point in anyone making suggestions either, people, I've tried them all and they all leave me colder than a three days dead Arctic cod. Maybe something will eventually come by to tickle my tired old fancy but right now, there's not so much as a skool sossage of a flicker on my fandar, which leaves me with little to discuss with you all. I'm doing a lot of lurking right now.

Maybe these are signs that I finally found a LIFE? If so, they can keep it for I be not interested.

Those still concerned about the TS downloads, they're are all with Tehomet now btw. I haven't heard from her in a while so I can't update you on when they'll beome available..

I'm remiss in the extreme in my contributions to

picspamyou_2009 and worst of all, my long absences from LJ mean I've missed talking to you lovely people. I've missed a fair few birthdays too for which I'm very sorry, most especially that darling delight of a human Earthling

the4ts . I hope your day was perfection, sugarbutton. I'm sorry I took my eye off the ball and missed you completely. Please have some very belated kisses in the flavour of your choosing. XXXXXXX

It's good to have an update from you and to know that your RL doesn't actually suck. There is way too much RL suckage taking place on my flist.

I always love to hear from you, any time, on any topic. Take care! =>}

::hugs::

RL is far from rosy but not sucky just boring, very hard work and occasionally frustrating beyond belief. It's not the life I planned for myself but is what it is for now. I guess we don't always get what we want (and etc)

I'm glad you like hearing from me, even when I ramble tediously - you're very kind.

I hope things are going well for you. ♥

Yeah, life doesn't always turn out the way we hope it will, but I guess that's just the way of things.

I sure didn't and don't want what's in my life right now.

Then again, we have Benjamin here for the weekend with his mother, so that's one huge plus in my life. =>}

I always love hearing from you. What may seem tedious to you is interesting to others. =>}

I'm doing okay thanks. Always better when Ben is here. *g*

Slogging away, are you? I've been planning a two week vacation from writing and podficcing to catch up on my reading, and Blue will be at the top of the list to enjoy. I find that I skim too much, when I've got too much to do, and that isn't fair to the story -- or to me.

I was going to wait and and finish one more Moonridge 2007 story (which is over 60,000 words long and needs about another 5-6,000 to finish it off, but I'm finding it hard to concentrate right now, since my RL is one big world of chaos and stress. So, as of today, I'm on vacation -- since I won't be able to take a two week vacaton in real life.

I'm sorry life is being unkind to you - sounds a bit like me right now, too. Vacation, sounds wonderful. Personally I'd kill for a weekend on my own, I ache for a bit of solitude but it's not going to happen any time soon. ♥

Hey it's summer! and we are actually having one this year. You may find me on lj some but mostly? I'm out there. Sunny warm days are way to few to waste here. We'll all be back when it's cold and icky.

Unfortunately summer is a very busy time for me, especially in the garden. I have to care for my Dad and his house a lot of the time and trying to keep up with my own life too - gets a bit much sometimes. I dream of wasting time. :o)

Glad to hear you're having a good time anyway, enjoy your summer.

Perhaps I'm in the minority here, but I think it's good to have a life. Not necessarily to the exclusion of all things fannish or elsewise, but having other interests (such as writing a novel, which strikes me more as a calling than an interest) is good. You'll step your involvement when and if it suits. Just remember that many on your F-list want to hear how the real you, not the fannish you, is getting on. No reason you can't use your LJ for that!

I think it'd be good to have a life too, any idea where we can get one? Amazon, maybe? *g*

I'm glad you want to hear my fevered non-fannish ramblings :o) I'd love to have fannish stuff to write about but it's just not there, which is sad, I do feel the loss but - not happening. ::shrug:: ♥

Lurking is a favourite hobby of mine at the moment too! I know what you mean about there being nothing to squee about, there's nothing that grabs me either. There's nothing that makes me want to drop everything and sit glued to t'telly.

But you is here and it is Friday!
What more could we want?
:o)

Hopeless, isn't it? I've been actively surfing too, I miss the fannish squee but the things that get everyone else all fired up have done less than nothing for me. I was terribly excited by the prospect of Criminal Minds so I watched a couple but - nah (tis pants, sadly). There are plenty of things I like but nothing that has that extra seasoning of fannish excitement.

Hey nonny no, I expect something will turn up eventually.

Sunday now (gosh, what happened?), the weather's cooled (thank goodness) and I'm off to visit with an old friend from my previous fandom - just for the day. A day off, how did that happen? *g*

Enjoy your Sunday. ♥

Hopeless it is.
SG1 - lost me after the arrival of the Ori. If you have an undefeatable enemy, what is the point?
SGA - nope, blue guys do nothing for me.
Numbers - just how many times can maths get you out of a pickle? (and poor man's Blair)
Criminal Minds - is okay if there really is NOTHING else on, but then a book calls
Law and Order - okay, but after millions of series, pretty much seen it all
Law and Order:Criminal Intent - love this, the thinking person's police programme, but lots of repeats and not enough new ones with not enough Goren after he went down to half of the episodes per series and seem to have reined in the character
Without A Trace and Cold Case - okay, but the characters don't grab me
Ghost Whisperer - much of a muchness
Is there anything else?
And nothing around that is remotely fannish inspiring.

And another boring weekend over this way.
I hope you have a good time with your friend and enjoy your day off.
Happy Sunday!
♥

::squishes you::

My, you have been busy! And no worries on the b/day front but thank you so much for those lovely wishes (and the kisses too) :)

I hope you had a wonderful birthday. I try to send greetings whenever I can but I've not been around as much lately and must have missed it. I'm beaming cakey vibes at you right now.

::squishes you back::

OMG - how could I have missed you posting Blue? (Says something about the state of my ruddy life at the moment!) Congratulations on getting it out into the wild - I can't wait to read it at long last ::squishes it to heaving bosom::

Hmmm - tickling your tired old fancy sounds like a pretty good job opportunity to me - where do I apply? ::waggles eyebrows::

just something of an apology I suppose,

As long as you're still around that's all that matters babe - you can ramble about the state of your turnips for all I care, you'll still make me happy. and something gloriously fannish will turn up in time - they're like the number 79 bus - either none or six at once *g* And there's always Top Gear *hg*

Happy Sunday! ::blows kisses::

You can come and tickle my fancy any time you like, lovey! ::gurns, pulls 'whorrr' face, fisty gesture, Leslie Phillips impression and etc. etc (stifles yawn)::

Ah, Blue - if you read it be warned, the angst goes up to eleven. I sort of slipped and fell into a massive, sticky mess of MASSIVE Blair-angst, honestly doctor, I have no idea how it happened.

Happy Sunday yourself, such a shame Sunday's joy is tainted by it's proximity to Monday. Like a lovely choc-box cottage that's next door to a rusting caravan occupied by a family of ASBO enthusiasts.
