The fantastic alli_everyday tagged me for one meme and I stole a second one from her.

List 6 things about yourself. Tag 6 people. No tagbacks!
1. I'm tired and sunburnt yet again. I'd like to have one weekend to stay at home and do nothing.
2. I cry more at weddings and births than I do at funerals.
3. I worry more than I should about what other people think of me.
4. I wouldn't trade all the bad things that have happened in my life for anything.
5. I don't see anything wrong with talking to myself.
6. If it wasn't for my LJ friends (a few in particular), I don't think I would've had the strength to deal with some of the things that have happened in the last year or so.

Tag (if you haven't been tagged already): mimiheart, ltlredhairdgirl, puterpatty, swedish15, anael, wendy

Our family plans for this afternoon got cancelled, which is kinda nice b/c it means I can hang around the house and be lazy. The wedding yesterday was so beautiful. I took a disposable camera b/c mom's digital is broken, but when I got there Tinsley gave me her digital and her mom's digital and said I was responsible for pictures, so I took one and our friend Margo took the other, and the boys took pictures with mine. A couple of the ones the boys took turned out really really good, though, so I'll post a few of them later (I took them to one hour photo this morning) and I'll post good pics when I get them from Tinsley. If anyone is interested in all the sappiness, I'll give details about the ceremony and the reception and everything later, too.

The actual reason for this post though is an apology to all my fellow OWLies for being completely absent lately. For the past couple months, staying here with mom, computer time hasn't been what it used to be. I do have the computer in my room now, but I usually don't go up there until after 11 or so. And I've actually had somewhat of a real life lately (incredible as that sounds) so I'm not around as much, and when I am I'm usually laying in front of the computer half dozing and half skimming LJ. And when I do have the time and the mental capabilities to visit the SL, there's nothing for me to do b/c yall are incredibly awesome. Still, I feel really really bad about not being around.

Starting tomorrow, I have a new schedule at work, so I'll be working from 8am to 4:30pm, which is so awesome I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am. But that means I'll have to go to bed earlier (no more of these IM conversations that go on until 4 or 5 am) but it also means that I've got to get the boys on a new schedule, so we're gonna shoot for a 9:00 bedtime, which means I'll have a couple hours in the evening to play during the weeknights. Weekends are kinda busy.

Some of you know that I lost my writing ability temporarily (but I did find it again, in case you didn't get the memo!) and I think part of the problem was that I was thinking too much about ME and my place in fandom and not about fandom as a whole, or at least not about my fandom families. I also think the porn kinda threw me off track. Don't get me wrong, I definitely don't mind writing the porn, but I miss writing plot. Actually, I really miss plotting. The past couple weeks, talking with swedish15 about Garden, talking with anael about something she's writing, talking with pixel_0 about Gather the Flies... that made me feel happier fandom-wise than I've felt in a long time.

I think there might have been some purpose behind me writing all this, but as I ramble (and holler at the kids in the backyard and keep an eye on the peach cobbler in the oven and talk to de on Y!M), I've forgotten what it was. Love and hugs for all of you, and I'll post some drabbles later, yeah?

From _emeraldgreen: Reply and I'll give you a random letter, and you have to find five songs that start with that letter and post them to your journal.

( my letter was S )

There's another sort of music meme that I'm gonna steal from sxysadie21, but it'll have to wait until I get upstairs on my computer. Though I'm sure she won't mind if you come and play with her in the meantime.

1. Shuffle your play list.
2. Using the first 25 songs, no matter how embarrassing, post a lyric from that song.
3. Have your friends guess the song and artist.
4. Once that song and artist has been guessed, strike it out and beside the lyric place the name of the song, the artist, and who guessed it.

Comments will be screened for the first 24 hours or so to give everyone a fair chance at guessing, ok? Extra points if you can tell me the next line.
