hellooooo Cleveland!

I donated platelets for the first time yesterday. It was uncomfortable, but not so much I didn't keep dozing off while in the chair. This was of mild concern to the nurses, apparently losing consciousness while hooked up to The Machine That Goes Ping[1] is usually associated with bad things. I was just tired.

The anti-coagulant makes me pee like holy crap.

I've been writing again, pumping out words in little bursts between work, errands, appointments, dishes, socializing, sleep. My goal is to get everything down until the end of the wifebeater years, and then start into Nanowrimo with a fresh project. I'm censoring more now, but some of it will still end up on crazy_boat by the time I'm done.

Writing for me means not-reading. It's just as well, I was feeling like reading about other peoples' lives had turned into a way to avoid living my own. Bugger that, I have things I want to do.

So how you?

[1] It really did!

At least it didn't say "NI!"

Hell yes. I've been skimming LJ lately at best, and barely writing. I have too much stuff to do in my offline life.

I don't. Keep writing! ;)

In the end, words are all we leave behind.

Hey there.. you don't know me, but we've swept by in some of the same circles, I do believe.. you used to run a mailing list I was on back in the day.. is it still up and running, or has LJ killed it too? I was going to email you instead of commenting, but I didn't see an address on your info page..

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you. Which mailing list was it?

(From the logged in version of me this time.)

[lusciousa.livejournal.com]

Cangoth, I think?

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

Yep, it's still going.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cangoth/

Did you used to live on this side of the pond?

[lusciousa.livejournal.com]

Hrm.. I am still on it, but disabled getting emails from it a while back.. looks like it's pretty much gone the way of Tor-Goth and turned into a forum for Lazarus' ads :/ You guys still have meets at all?

And yes - originally from Niagara, schooled in Guelph, but my heart was always in TO ^_^

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

Ha. I try to limit the ads - I only let him post about each event once.

The meets kind of dissolved because it was always the same people showing up and then we all went and got houses and kids and couldn't spend all our cash on beer any more. We still get together once in a while, especially if there are visitors in town.

[lusciousa.livejournal.com]

Well I am a visitor.. and I am in town.. although for a *very* limited time only (tick tick tick) and 'net access is limited.. suggestions?

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

Eep! Are you going to be here for the weekend? I work nights, so weeknights aren't really great for me.

A lot of people go to Dance Cave (Bloor just east of Bathurst, upstairs in Lee's Palace) on Mondays, if you get this message in time.

[lusciousa.livejournal.com]

Currently in NF - Heading back to TO tonight - there until Monday.

Will be without 'net access from tonight onwards though!
