I proofread 35 pages today, in 2 hours and 20 minutes. Not going nearly as fast as I'd hoped; my goal was 25 pages an hour. But I'm being very careful (and I've caught a lot of errors, or at least issues that need a second look from the author), and I've learned a lot about natural resource law. Also I really want to go to Yellowstone. I also managed to cook for dinner group today; lo, I am an...

Several days ago I had this conversation with my wise friend jbmcdragon . The reason for the conversation isn't important, but the result of it is. JB McDragon: *HUGS* That's AWESOME. See, this is why you're a good friend. And the adult. Nezuko: Thanks. Now if only I could stop feeling like the bad person. JB McDragon: *thinks* I could kick you. Would that help? grins I could put "learn...

I have a LOT to be doing right now (especially Contracts and Elements reading) but if I do not do this now, it will never get done. So, weekend recap, coming up! On Saturday I had cleaning checks in the morning, and then JB came over. We packed a lunch and set about hunting down a bicycle. Outdoors Unlimited isn't renting bikes yet, but ROTC Andrew was kind enough to lend us his bike. Extensive...

JB got here about 5:30 yesterday and it has been FABULOUS. (Pictures forthcoming!) We met up at my apartment, after she'd already checked into her hotel and got the dogs settled a little, and went down the street to Kiwanis Park to let the dogs run. Cash is a King Shepherd--almost 30 inches tall and weighing over 115 lbs--and Lily is a pit bull, smaller but stronger. They're both gorgeous and so...

I meant to get up at 8:00 this morning, so I could head into school fresh and alert and ready for a hard day's work at 9:00. I ended up getting up at 9, instead, but I still planned on heading into school fresh and alert and so forth. By 9:45 I was ready to go... It is just so hard to actually walk out the door. Today's a holiday, and this week is vacation, anyway; I have a to-do list as long...

Happy V-day! what rereads will make me warm in my schmoopy places? (all c-dub, cuz that's how I roll) x. if you need to crash, then crash and burn (you're not alone) by lissa_bear Chris/Jensen h/c x. waiting for my real life to begin by sneaky_sena Jared/Jensen college AU x. Chicagoland by phaballa Jared/Jensen with rugrats x. Apple Blossom Lake by not_refined...

Former Lives by jbmcdragon  , R Sequel to The Kakashi Mission . Things are not perfect in any relationship, but even Kakashi knows something really isn't right in theirs. Very good. This, like The Kakashi Mission , is not afraid to talk about slightly uncomfortable things. And while it could seem weird or completely out of place with the characters instead it manages to work. Well written...

I'm still feeling like a piece of driftwood after a storm, tossed up on the beach, waterlogged, with my bark stripped off and my core exposed. That's what fighting with a friend does to me, I guess. I think I'm supposed to feel better after a night's sleep, and I do, but not better enough. Maybe because I didn't sleep enough. I signed out of chat at 1:15. I turned off the computer at 2:00. I didn't...

My tulips have shed most of their petals, but it is hard to bring myself to throw them out. They are artfully disheveled. My girlfriend, messypeaches , gave them to me. That's the real reason I want them to last forever. My health is improving, but after a month of being as ill as I've been, and still being too out of breath and exhausted for long conversations or outings, let alone things...

I have not posted because I am going insane . There are some good things in the meantime: Dinner group means other people feed me for four (or three) days of the week! Except this week, because we don't have someone for Monday and Coryn was sick yesterday. But I can look forward to dinner today! I've discovered how to make onigiri wrapped in nori with tuna-and-mayonnaise filling, and they're...
