pinesandmaples: Resist temptation

Hurricane Katrina is not an opening line. It is never an appropriate way to start a conversation with a New Orleanean.

To update, belatedly, about Irene: I am really kind of shocked we didn't lose power. Very uneventful hurricane here in JP.

Conclusion: Doctor Who is not my new fandom. It is my new entertainment candy. (Conclusion drawn after noticing my total lack of interest in reading other people's reaction posts.)

That said, I think this leaves me adrift, fannishly. Actually I think at this point fandom is my fandom.

I've been kind of hiding out for a few weeks. Minor depressive downswing, I guess - I'm not sure I would even have noticed it (or, you know, experienced it) except that I've been so bad about taking my meds lately. Only really seems to have affected my social - I haven't been updating as much, have skipped loads of munches, etc. And it doesn't help that my semi-guaranteed social time (Battletech) hasn't happened for a few weeks because our GM burnt out.

Pleased to report that the Mirena seems to have finally stopped the bleeding portion of my period. I am still experiencing the early-warning cramps (which I only developed this past year-ish) but as those seem to be decreasing in severity I can hope they'll cease, too.

This leaves me with an unopened DivaCup, size 1 (won in the Muskrat Jamboree raffle back in April). Anybody want it?

I would be interested in the DivaCup - how much do you want for it, outside postage? I could probably only pay you via Paypal. Fine if you choose someone else not situated on the other side of the Atlantic :o)

I'd be happy with just postage, really. And Paypal is fine. If you send your address to sofiaviolet@sofiaviolet.com or PM me, I'll get it mailed and let you know what postage was (since I am fundamentally incapable of estimating accurately).

Thanks for the link. It always makes me feel special.

If you'd like to meet my wife next week, we'll be knocking around Boston at loose ends (sort of) on Thursday, the 8th. She won't be back in the city until...well, a long time.

I am not 100% sure of my schedule next Thursday - I know I'll be in class from 1:00-4:00 but I'm pretty sure the rest of my day is free. I would love to hang out. :)

[sofiaviolet]

Will do! (If I knew how to drive, I would offer the services of the Wonderwagon.)

Wheeeeee!

Hey, Sofia, would you mind deleting or screening that comment from rooibos above? It has my name and phone number + shows up on Google, and I'm not comfortable with that. (The internet makes me nervous sometimes.)

[sofiaviolet]

Screened.

[pinesandmaples]

Thank you. I appreciate you and your willingness to screen it.
