Insanity Lurks

( work stuff, etc )
Got my cards for International Day of Slash and I have a bunny for it, I just need to write it. I should have time Sunday - taking full advantage of the amnesty schedule. I also have my AinA assignment, and I'm trying to think up a way to do it that will keep things fresh and interesting or at least an angle no one's seen before. It's hard sometimes to balance a well loved trope-scenario without tipping into cliche. See what happens. I'd really, really like to submit that story within deadline, or even ahead. But it does mean dedicated writing time and a life that cooperates - both I'm pretty bad at usually, until last minute panic sets in. :)

Going to go eat something, fold laundry and then chill out a little before work. It's either going to be okay or very busy - you can never tell with holidays. Hope all the Americans on my f-list have a good 4th of July and all the non-Americans have a great Saturday. 

Only a month or so between updates - go me, lol. Sometimes I don't have very fannish stuff to say and I don't often use this place for RL stuff. I think this year is going to be one of the more stressful Christmases I've had. Family drama happens at the slightest provocation - all of last year was like that, couldn't go a holiday or a birthday without a huge fight (and this year we've got at least two birthdays and two holidays within the same four week span). This year has been much better, but I can feel it creeping up again. Work is very busy too, and I've found myself handed more projects with fast deadlines. I am assigned to an end of the year conference and I've come to dread it and wish I had my New Year's Eve weekend back. I love New Year's.

But a high point this week is I get to go to the midnight showing of the Hobbit with all my siblings. It should be non-stressful and just a really enjoyable experience, no matter how the Hobbit turns out (I have concerns). It's been a while since we've done something all together. I also get to sleep in the morning, so yay, lol.

This is the long way of saying that I was able to purchase some Christmas cards I like and I'm going to get them sent out over the weekend. I think I have all my usual addresses sorted out, but I'd like to know if anyone else would like a card from me. Please drop me a PM if you do and we'll exchange addresses. :) I'm looking at you, saruwatari!
