soloTwitter is bad for blogging. It's like every single tiny bit of anything I might ever have to say gets nibbled away in 140-character crumbs and then there's nothing left. For weeks.
Except right now there are a few things after all.
1) We're off to Germany again on the 22nd. I'm kind of trying to make up for the fact that we'll probably not go again for Xmas, ever (long story). So I'm jumping on any cheap flight that I can get, and this one was £12 per person, so...
Anyway, it's really very brief; A. is leaving again on the 25th, I'm hanging on till the 27th. And then I'm straight back into grading. And when that's done I can start looking forward to the third weekend in May when![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
k_julia, becroberts, ina, mananeh and I are going to have us a little party. :-)
2) We actually had some warm days recently. Warm in the sense of 'Solo throws caution to the winds and moves operations into the garden'. And of course Yami was delighted and spent all that time outside with me, chasing butterflies and getting teased by crows twice her size.

3)k_julia and I have committed a TheraPWP. There we were, harmlessly discussing the summer tour and the L.A. concerts and surrounding issues, and... it just happened, okay? It is here: Lift me to the sky, 7,000 words, rated PORN.
4) The![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
kizuna_exchange is almost finished, and as somebody who's never taken part in a fic exchange before, I've found the experience very interesting. Also, the big percentage of AUs really came as a surprise to me, as to several others. And like everybody else, I'm still catching up with the reading, but I've already found a few stories I know I'll read over and over again. The one written for us is one of those. I might do some recs once the reveal is up and reccing won't compromise our anonymity. (Only I suck at recs, so maybe not...)
5) And now I should really spend a couple of more-or-less productive hours with the YamaNade 7 subs.
State of the Collaboration, 33: "japanese teenage boy toy 2008" is not a useful google search term when you actually want to know about popular toys for boys.

Wow, it was that warm with you? I bet Yami really was one very happy kitty.
She's gorgeous. *Pets her*

Date: 2010-04-16 07:08 (UTC)Twitter is of the devil. I have little enough to say as it is, and after a night on Twitter half the people who read my LJ know about it all anyway, so I'll just feel like I'm repeating myself, which is something I hate.
Yami purrs at you.
no subject
Date: 2010-04-16 09:37 (UTC)It is. It really is. I know what you mean about not wanting to repeat. I ship mine to my LJ, all behind a cut so that anyone who isn't on Twitter and might like to know I'm a) alive b) um . . . can do so.
She's a real poppet.

Date: 2010-04-16 09:58 (UTC)Do you also find that sometimes loudtwitter cuts lines off weirdly? It really bugs my OCDness, I keep wanting to check everything they ship to get rid of random spaces and paragraph breaks so it all looks tidy, even if nobody ever looks at it.

Date: 2010-04-16 11:45 (UTC)Yes, they do - it's very strange. And I know what you mean!

Date: 2010-04-15 22:22 (UTC)I loved all the AUs...... I actually can't read ones that are too similar to RL...... so i wanted even more AUs xDDD

Date: 2010-04-16 07:16 (UTC)not to sound like a hater..... but i just don't like RL based ones since a) i don't believe they're actually together, b) my interpretation of events are different from others, and c) I've already spent wayyyy too long thinking about what this or that means that i'm sorta immune to their situation now. OK..... so my reason is pretty much just one.....lol

Date: 2010-04-16 08:33 (UTC)I'm happy for you that you got so much delicious AU out of the exchange then.

Date: 2010-04-16 03:07 (UTC)OOH FIC YAY. AMAZED THAT YOU FINISHED KIZUNA AND STILL HAVE ENERGY FOR MORE.
lolol boy toy aslfa;kla; XDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

Date: 2010-04-16 07:26 (UTC)Fic was necessary. :-) It didn't turn out quite like our original concept, but we had to do *something* or other for our own peace of mind, so, well, there it is.
Boy toy was me being an idiot. I should have known, only I was so frazzled at the time I just input without thinking. :-)

Date: 2010-04-16 22:32 (UTC)Why will you never be going back for Christmas again, if you don't mind my asking? (Or if you do mind, feel free to tell me so.) I hope the skies are clear by the time you fly!
I really like that first pic of Yami, for some reason. She looks totally unimpressed. What, was your fic not steamy enough for her or something?
no subject
Date: 2010-04-17 19:48 (UTC)I will need to ask Yami about our fic. 'Hello, my name is Solo and I get fic feedback from my cat.'
Hmm.
no subject
Date: 2010-04-16 22:56 (UTC)Yay Germany! And D:! about not being able to go ever again for Xmas :/ ...but that weekend in May sounds like it's going to be fantastic ^^!
Love the almost bored expression Yami has in the 1st pic, and akjhfds she looks so cute in the 2nd! Actually she just looks extra fluffy and less like a powerful!magicCat in this pic batch :D
TheraPWP ftw! Fics by you two = &hearts ♥ ♥. Also, I'd say I was surprised by the amounts of AU too except...I've...barely read anything >___>. Still, I prefer RL based fics, even though AUs can be really gorgeous.
XDDD boy toy, it's okay I made a similar mistake once. I tried googling Love Yourself making of back when it wasn't readily available and...er...was presented with rather shady results >__>...
