I fail at LJ this year
Clearly I am blaming my awesome relationship on my LJ suckage.
Lots has happened this past year. Far to much to mention all of it, but here is a brief summary. In dot points. Who doesn't love a good dot point??
- That promotion I mentioned in my last post in MAY (god, I do suck at this) ended up lasting for about a month and a half before I got promoted again. Officially the boss now. This is both awesome and bloody hard work.
- Life with
heyuwiththeface sharing my bedspace has been awesome. We just fit so damn well together.
- We're going to New Zealand for a week in January. We want to change her over from a student visa to a working holiday visa so she can actually work and we can start saving money. November next year we will be applying for residency for her.
- We're talking families and babies and all of that big stuff. Of course, to do that she needs to be working so we can save, and move out of my mothers house. While it has been incredibly convenient living here - and honestly not all that bad - we need a place of our own if we want to have kidlets. And, y'know, some sperm.
- Many a gig has been attended.
- Many a movie has been watched.
- Beaches have been swum at.
- We've had weekends away in Newcastle and Coogee.
- We've handed out flyers on election day.
- We discovered moogourmetburgers.com.au/ and have a new favourite place to eat.
- We've been experimenting on the home cooking front. Tina is learning more and more vegetarian dishes - a necessity when you live with two vegos.
- We have done couple-y things like Valentine's day and our Anniversary. Whilst in the same country as each other for once.
There has been a hell of a lot more, but none of it particularly interesting to post about.
So, my goal for the moment is to try and post in here once a week (i'm being realistic...) and if I can get that down, then maybe twice or three times a week, then all of a sudden I may find myself back in the swing of LJ!
I will be going through and culling my flist (probably largely communities) so when I sit down to read my flist every couple of days it won't be an overwhelming amount.
Anyway - HI to anyone I haven't spoken to outside of LJ. If you want to find me on twitter, i'm akte there as well. I use that most days. It's easy to use on my pretty new iPhone (yes, I submitted and have now joined the iWankery brigade. I love it.) and quick enough to check in quiet times at work.

Hello, livejournal. It's been a while.
I want to start posting again. I want to start reading my friends list again. But I don't want to just post random crap, so I'm pondering my options...
Oh, and I'm not going to be friends only anymore. I'm just not that interesting. lol.

Authors note: There is some meta going around about BDSM in fic at the moment, and this poured forth from it. There is no kink in this fic (or sex. Hello, G rating!)

Kink icons!
NSFW! Or kiddies!
Mostly black and white, all female, focusing mainly on restraints and collars, although there are bunch of other things thrown in there as well.
Comments are really encouraging (concrit is welcome). Credit is appreciated. I do have a big stick, but I won't be chasing you down with it if you don't credit. It would just make me smile.

A rare meme. I do them occasionally...
Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you. Then post them in your journal and explain what they mean to you.
1 - Liz Donnelly Liz is hot. I've had a thing for older women for as long as I can remember, and especially powerful older women. Put a woman in a suit and I'm weak at the knees. Liz is the perfect example of that. She is older, powerful, incredibly strong, assertive, and will go to the wall for something she believes is right. All that wrapped up in a ridiculously attractive package is enough to undo me.
2 - Tina Having just gone on about the omguh hawtness of older women, I'm going to now gush about my younger girlfriend :D Tina is...wonderful. She's a perfect fit and I love her to death. And one day we're going to get to actually live together...*sigh*
3 - BDSM Is not a word ;) I've always been a little interested in it. I bought my first pair of cuffs before I even had my first kiss. Most of my relationships have had a small element of kink to them (most, not all) but it wasn't really until about 4 years ago that I really started taking a keen interest. While Tina was here, we both went to our first actual class. Rope Bondage 101. It was so much more awesome than I could ever possibly squee about on here, and now I know how to tie people up :D
4 - Role play
Basically I love the escape it offers you. You can take these characters and put them in any situation and then they have to deal with it. It is awesome.
5 - Fanfiction After role playing for a while I decided to try my hand at writing. I discovered I didn't entirely suck at it (not saying I'm great, but I've certainly read worse) and enjoy writing the odd scene every now and then. As a reader, I've eased up a lot. I read obsessively when I first discovered fanfic around 3 years ago, but now I only really read a small handful of authors, or fics that are highly recc'd by people I know have good taste. I just got sick of sifting through all the crap.
