I still exist. (I think)

So, um. Things have happened again. I'm in Pennsylvania now, looking for employment because the boyfriend got an amazing job offer as a pastry chef making 30K a year with lots of room to move upwards. The apartment is way better than the one in Sandusky (better than the Orphanage, even, if just for the lack of any corners that aren't right angles, but for plenty of other reasons, too.)

So, yeah, there's some stress, but generally things are going well. Finally got my course credit transfers from BG to work out, and I actually have officially completed my degree at Miami. It's for Spring of '10, but it's still official.

Also, there's fic coming! I signed up for lbgtfest like two months ago, and I'm finally putting the story I have to post Monday (though there is one last amnesty day the Wednesday after) to the page. I mean, I was thinking the thing over and doing mental drafting the whole time, but I forgot that my stories always expand when I actually start writing them. I'm less than a thousand words in, and I've already created a minor subplot that I hadn't even considered before today.

This is probably going to be the longest story I've ever written (and in the Power Rangers fandom, of course), but it's also definitely getting me back in the swing of writing. Which, considering I intend to eventually go the the school in this town to get a grad degree in creative writing so I can be a professor, is definitely a good thing. As is the minor beta work I did for second_batgirl's story (Also MMPR, also going up Monday. We're excited).

So, flist, what's been going on with you that you think I should know? You can pretend I don't read LJ (even though I do) and go over things you've written about if you want, but I'd like to hear new stories, because stories are fun.

Hell, you can just tell me what you did the last time you had an interesting weekend, if you want. I just want to un-disappear from LJ (even if I have been commenting places, at least, even while I don't post)

Congrats to The Boyfriend! What an amazing job! I wish him the best of luck in it, and all the happiness he can stand. As for you, I hope you find something soon that you will also enjoy. Life is so much better when one enjoys one's job, be it paying or not.

I'm excited for your story, and I've only heard what TSB has told me, which isn't much.

(also, apparently I need to get AIM since that's what everybody else chats on and all I have is gchat and yahoo *lesad* )

Re: AIM: YES, YES YOU DO. (I have YIM, but I don't often use it)

I am SO EXCITED for your fic. SO EXCITED. (And thank you for helping fix that one section of mine that was giving me trouble. *adores*)

And congrats to the boyfriend on the job! That is awesome!

So I totally got your message on my phone but I couldn't really understand it D: I heard that you moved and you had the boyfriend (which you mentioned on your Twitter) but I couldn't hear much else. I think the connection was bad or something. Sorry! I was nice to hear your voice again, though. Where in PA are you? If you are close to Pittsburgh, then you are totally close enough for me to run down a visit. If you are by Philly.... that's a bit far away.

I'm in State College. Not sure which end it's closer to... D:

That's pretty much in the direct middle of PA, about 5 hours from Cleveland and 4-5 hours from Philadelphia.
