Still Here

[ceitfianna]

This week has been long and I keep meaning to write about it but end up being tired. So I'm going to do that today. I think a lot of that long comes from a feeling of responsibilities piling up on me.

In the good realm of things, I now have three appointments set up with people who know about the library and private school world over Thanksgiving break. I'm going to find a job somewhere.

The major bad is that on Thursday I found out my debit card number had been stolen again, which makes me want to hit things. I'm doing everything I can to protect it and the bank moves quickly but it's another sign that I need to be on my own and supporting myself so I don't rely on a bank in another state.

As that happened on Thursday when I had plans for doing other things, my list of stuff to get done got pushed back. I also stayed up far too late on Thursday night doing wonderful RP with mercuriaz and the Matt Jamison plot, which meant I was kind of bleary on Friday morning.

I also did my Yuletide nominations: Homeward Bounders-Jamie, Joris, Helen, Konstam
Old Kingdom-Sameth, Nicholas Sayre, Ellimere, Yrael
3:10 to Yuma-the entire Evans' family
All of these I know how to write and would love to read and for the second two I tried to pick characters that might be forgotten.

Yesterday was quiet for me but I am taking steps to accomplish more on my list. My Flat Stanley pictures are uploaded so I can soon print and send them off to my niece. I have ideas for writing as RPing Charles is taking up my brain for him, but I want to finish the dream fic. Today I'm going to take care of some insurance stuff and try making a tamale pie. One of the things on my list is dealing with my student loans. Those of you who pay them, what's the best way to contact and say, hey, I can't afford these right now. I keep meaning to talk to someone on campus about them but don't know who. I'd appreciate any ideas.

Now to end with some pictures of things from a while back starting with my haul from Conclave.

My Wicked Girls' shirt, my new sleepshirt, bracelet, earrings and book.



The bracelet is jade with a chip of turquoise and the earrings have cranes on them.


The new decorations on my laptop that I bought at the Kerrytown Book Festival.

Ah, I wish I could find some good RP communities. #lonely

What sort of RP do you like? I know of two dressing rooms, and a panfandom game. If you look at my links you'll see where I play and in my userinfo.

My major game is milliways_bar with mixed_muses next, Mixed Muses is a freeform sandbox but a lot of the players from Milliways hang out there. I've been playing at Milliways for coming up on five years now and it's a great game. Also if you want a sense of how Milliways works, I've written two papers on it, one for e-communities and one for Information Culture.

wow! that's so neat. (about the papers)

I will definitely check these out.

[ceitfianna]

Yes, they're some of my favorite papers I've written, because I was able to bring my fun into my work.

Also Milliways has helped me get much more connected to the online world.

I LOVE MIXED MUSES

It is my favoritest sandbox.

(... Hi.)

[whataspacecase.livejournal.com]

Also, if I didn't make this clear, I'd love to read your papers!

[ceitfianna]

No, you did. Here's, the e-communities paper which is more how do things work based. While this one for Information Culture is more about how the players of Milliways work with each other.

I read "I was kind of binary on Friday morning," which I thought was very 21st-century and digital of you. :)

Your t-shirts are awesome, and the little laptop birds are very cute.

[ceitfianna]

I'm not sure how I'd manage to be binary, but if I ever figure it out, I'll write about it.

I love the birds, I've been wanting something to decorate my laptop and saw them and went ooh perfect.
