I try to swim beneath

[sevendeadlyfun]

Despite rumors to the contrary, I haven't actually abandoned sunny Naples for a coldwater flat in London. I've only thought about it.

Plus I have yet to really determine if the coldwater thing is a metaphor or not. And also, why are bathrooms extra in London hotels? I've been making plans for a mini-holiday in London and all the hotels charge extra for a bathroom. I need an explanations.

Still working on Spanky's remix. It's hard. She's so darn awesome I'm intimidated and it's killing my creativity. So I'm working on a D/s Adelle/Topher pegging/masturbation fic to clear my head. And that is a helluva lotta slashes up in there.

In other news, my Handsome Husband is in Afghanistan with NATO for the next six months. He told me he got to say hi to General Petraeus in the hall the other day. I'm suddenly not at all worried about his safety, yanno?

The Monster is OMG sick. He's had an ear infection for the past month, he's on two types of antibiotics plus codeine for the pain. Yeah. We'll be addressing that next week. There may be sarcasm and threats involved.

Oh, and I got into grad school! I'm going for my MSW (Master's of Social Work) at the University of New England. Totally online, even. I luff the internet.

I was a bit nervous about the whole grad school thing. I had to write a personal statement and I was really concerned. I mean - if I didn't get in, it would basically be because they rejected my entire life. My whole life wouldn't have made the cut. How...mortifying. But apparently my life made the grade and I start back to school August 30.

*glomps* I've missed you!!

As for the bathroom thing, it's because many of the hotels have bathrooms down the hall rather than en suite, because a huge number of them are converted private homes. When are you going to London? I've always had great luck finding places to stay that are nice and don't charge through the nose.

Sorry I missed your call. :-( This is what happens when one is too stupid to remember to bring their phone into thrift stores while their daughter shops for retro-cool vests and she herself shops for 80s records for 99 cents each!

And the remix! I forgot you were doing it. I had this crazy idea the other day involving a "We're Trapped In Here So Clearly We Must Fuck" little story with Spike/Angel - of course. But I was thinking that I would write it with the two of them, and then re-mix it into the same scene but with Spike/Xander. Is it crazy to re-mix something of your own? Most likely but nothing else I do makes sense - plus it's only porn so who really cares if it kind of sucks as long as there is boy!sex???

If you do end up finishing the re-mix I know it'll be made of awesome and I'll be forced to pet it for many hours while loving and sheeping you simultaneously. It'll be a thing. A whole thing.

Also, thanks for letting me know Jen was back for a sec. I ran and glomped.

Sorry the boy is sick. My mother has been in and out of the hospital for the last 3 months and now they have moved her to a nursing home for "re-hab" . Which is worrying the hell out of me. So I'm working for the next 3 days then driving to Georgia and coming back on Saturday to work again next Sunday since I haven't seen her in nearly a year and a half. *sigh* Life just keeps happening doesn't it?

Arianna also starts college in 2 weeks. Me = Old. Arianna = No Financial Aid. Me = Poor Because I'm Paying For Everything. Hopefully - Arianna Post Graduation = Successful Writer of Stage and Screen Plays. Which will result in - Mom = Proud and Not Resenting Money Spent.

Congrats on grad school. Even if they had rejected your entire life it would have only been because they were stupid. If that had happened we could have put little black ski masks on the sheep and sent them out for revenge. Lucky for those grad school folks they didn't bring that thunder down on themselves!
