Abra Abracadabra. I want to reach out and grab ya.

~~ I'm working 3 nights a week at the equestrian center, and riding both Sat and Sun. d'oh!

~~ I'm taking a Western Pleasure class! I've been kind of wanting to for a while now. Still continuing with English because its useful. Still have no clue what I'm doing with my life, but at least it's keeping me occupied.

~~ I'm rewatching Leverage. It's such comfortable show, completely imperfect, and kind of ridiculous, but gosh is it cute. I want to pat its head. The fanfic is disappointing, though. shrift's story is a gem, but most others fall short. *is sad panda* Of course, the show's not even through its second season yet. sigh.

~~ sekret to geekturnedvamp, started going over it again, still a few things I want to patch up. I'm rolling my sleeves up and getting dirty. lol.

~~ I want to do the meme where tv shows and fandoms are like ex-boyfriends and lovers, but I can't find it. halp?

~~ Finally, after a year of negotiations, layoffs, a bunch of deeply annoying emails from staff members who I am uncharitably labeling as hypocrites, and more meetings than you can shake a stick at, the staff at my work has a newly ratified contract with management. The most immediate shiny part of this contract is that we get a retroactive raise from Jan 1, '09. whoo. It's not the full raise we would have gotten if the economy hadn't tanked, but it's better than 0. I feel particularly fortunate, however, in that I was promoted so I got more of a raise than many others, and they're giving me more money on top of that, as well. Not a whole heck of a lot, but more is more.

~~ My monster HL story is out in the world and learning to walk. *g* I'm very grateful for the feedback its received. HL is pretty much a dormant fandom, so I wasn't expecting a lot of comments, but its got a respectable amount, so that's nice.

~~ I'm signed up for the dw_femslash ficathon (I seem to only write DW fic in which the Doctor does not appear. I've yet to actually write him. I'm okay with this) and hlh_shortcuts AND I plan on doing yuletide. Geez, glutton for punishment much?

~~ Speaking of yuletide, OMG WHAT WILL I NOMINATE. WHAT???? I CAN'T DECIDE. *flaps hands* I don't know what I want. *wibble*

~~ Jane. Get me off this crazy thing!

I'm so glad your HL story is attracting some love! :) Also, happy for your raise. We are seeing no raises around these parts. Raises have been snatched back. Alas.

[hafital.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm actually a little worried since I'm fairly certain the industry hasn't recovered at all, but hey, I guess it'll all work out in the end? maybe?

*pets you*

Yay, raise! and it's so good to hear from you. (:

I have a vid song to fling at you, but you sound so busy. Maybe this isn't the best time?

[hafital.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I have a couple I want to fling at you, too. I am busy and actually kind of trying to figure out how to manage it all better. This wasn't my intention, this business. *g*

As soon as the latest draft on my novel is done, at least I won't have anything pressing that's actually really important. But before then we can exchange songs?

[laurashapiro.livejournal.com]

Novel! \o/

Yes, of course. I'm quite flexible at the moment, what with not having a job and all. (: I'll send you my song and look forward to yours. Then we'll see when we can schedule something after things calm down for you.

This post alerted me to the fact that you've posted your HL story. I've downloaded it (with notes) to read when I have a bit more time. Unlike you with the S&H DVDs, I would like to give it my full attention. Thanks for sticking with this "dormant fandom". There are still those of us who love it.

Unlike you with the S&H DVDs, I would like to give it my full attention.

:D And I very much appreciate that. I hope you like the story when you get a chance to read it. I still love HL and am very grateful there are people out there still wanting to read stories for it. Thanks for commenting!
