The move.

I tell you what, it took a LOT of convincing to get me over to dreamwidth, and I'm still on the fence about it. I'm keeping my livejournal for now, and I'm posting to both, which is probably going to get annoying really fast, but I've been harassed and ... whatever other word there is for that... by a friend who writes and has also just transferred over. "If you are sharing your icons with me, you have to be on dreamwidth too." was the gist of it. Not sure that I follow that, but I /do/ understand the kerbubble about fanfiction and sharing space for that as one person. That isn't happening any more. It's was originally meant to confuse people, to keep him hidden but we figured out real quick that if we were sharing fanfic sites AND icons, it was going to look just a /little/ sketchy and I don't want trouble. Separate accounts for everything now... And I guess that means I came here out of guilt? I don't know. Anyway, I'm here and I'm there, and I MIGHT be getting a fanfic site at dreamwidth if it doesn't cause commotion...

In other news, shit is going on and I feel like shit. Mostly just overwhelmed by freaking everything and feeling really let down, too. People that are supposed to be around for me just are mentally or physically absent and it's like... I want to just run away to New York (really Jersey City now) or Austria or several places in California and just live the life I miss with the folks there.

Conventions coming up: Once Upon a Time NJ, where Eirian and I will then get to visit Max and family for Lena's birthday. I hope. God I hope so hard. Also, there's one in Burbank next month, which we wanted to go to, but good luck finding the money for after all the shit that went down. Finally, I ended up getting a message that a certain someone WAS going on the cruise and we had just enough warning before the public to spend money on that too. I tell you what, my friends are DAMNED good at making me broke. :p

I've gotten swept up in the virtual race craze as well. There's a site called yes.fit that is amazing. You take as long as you want to do the thing, and you get to look at a map of your virtual course and actually FOLLOW it on google maps! I am currently in Scotland, headed toward Edinburgh, if anyone is interested. ;) I want to create a similar thing that raises money for charity and uses Star Trek actors... But my plan is actually a good bit of volunteer work for the actors, requiring that they do a walk themselves first... And I have NO idea how to set up the virtual map once it's done and all that nonsense. I was just going to create a twitter and facebook group and go from there. I mean, is that something people even WANT anymore? Blame Rene (and partly Nana) for this idea merging with the virtual race fever. Just ugh.

More on my ACTUAL racing will follow, but I want to go back and get pictures first... Which won't happen until this weekend, if I'm super lucky.

Last note is going to be that my fish, Nix, isn't well. I'm worried he is on his last days and there is nothing I can do for him. At 8 years old, he's just so young... I'm heartbroken.
