My phone has AMAZING power now. Like, even if I use it to read or listen to music or even watch YT vids, the charge on my phone lasts all day. It's disconcerting but AWESOME.

Started a Sleep Token community because one hasn't been done yet. Insanejournal is worse because the interest "Sleep Token" is ONLY listed on my account lol. Should see about a community on IJ as well so it's mirrored. Can never be too complacent about sites. I will be devastated if either IJ or DW goes down.

Anyway, so far I feel good about this hiatus. I miss some things but not the constant noise. I'll miss being away from that when I go back but I'm thinking I'll probably try to scale a lot back. We shall see come September.

62 days until I see my band in Portland! Eeeee! I am so excited.

Other than that? I'm doing good. My time is spent reading (mostly fanfic right now), trying to fix the mess of a journal I have here as well as back up my tumblr posts. I fixed 2 months of duplicates last night as it was quiet in comparison. I still have 2006-2012 to fix but it might not be as bad as I was imagining.

Next Friday is the start of a week long vacation and even if I am staying home, I am looking forward to it. Peace and quiet without the parentals will be nice.

Randomly started looking for what world religion type degrees there are out there because I want to learn theBible/Christianity as well as Islam and others and have been trying to find curriculum that will fill my desire to study. I may not be religious but I am fascinated by it. Especially with how much of Christianity has been perverted by the evangelicals and even the Catholic church, from time immemorial.

Of the above paragraph, I also thought in context of how to find a community locally but I find that I don't know if studying religion as a whole would win me friends in that circle, considering I'm atheist. But that's the crux of it, I want to find a community again because my worst fear came true and the community I was in previously didn't want me back. I need friends in the area, even as I lament not having my closest online friends near me. Just gotta find something. Eventually.

Summary: It’s not that James is surprised to find Q at the bar of the Hoffler Klinik… Well, he is surprised — he’s been under the impression the boffin didn’t fly. But it’s more that he’s surprised it’s Q himself that tracks him down. If Q and Moneypenny are really in so much trouble for helping him, Q could have easily just given M his location and washed his hands of the association. That would have been the sensible thing to do. Then, instead of one somewhat flustered boffin trying to persuade him to come in from the dark, Bond would be faced with a throng of agents ready to haul his arse in via any force necessary.
That would have been rather inconvenient.
It makes James think, perhaps, Q is another ally.

Summary:

This is it, folks. The ending that the SPN cast, characters, and fandom deserved. My interpretation of what should've gone down in the final episode. Hopefully this helps everyone say goodbye to the characters that they've grown with and loved for 15 years now. NOTE: I did keep some details from the original episode but completely changed the plot--don't give up on it when you see that they're still hunting those vamps in Canton. I promise y'all they get a good ending).

So I forgot I have a permanent account on Insanejournal LOL. I went to update my status because I'm being more active and found that out. I need to update my user icons there so they will match here but haha. Past me knew the score lol. Next time DW has a perm acct sale, I might go ahead and do it. [EDIT to add that it may not happen anymore but that's okay.]

Anyway, tried to add Pillowfort (Pf) to the journal mirror game but I forgot they only have rich text posting and you can't postdate anything. Sigh.

That's okay though. I'll figure it out. Posting here and IJ and some posts on tumblr should be fine. I am fond of backups upon backups upon backups so I might keep looking. Wordpress owns Tumblr now so while I know WP, I'm not sure it's prudent to also post there.

I'll get it figured out.

Summary: Inside the station, a honey-eyed waif with a shorn head and a long pale throat is clicking away at a pen and swinging his chair back and forth behind the receptionist desk. Derek plasters on his most charming grin and leans up against it, bracing a hand in front of the guy and sliding his sunglasses down to give him a once-over.
The guy blinks up at him and flushes. His mouth falls open a little and Derek clears his throat around the way he kind of wants to press his thumb to it.

“Hey,” Derek says, still grinning. “I’m here for my sister?”

I love more alive Hales and different meetings for Stiles and Derek. This author is also someone I remember all the way back in the heyday of Sterek fandom. 

Gods, I love Sterek so much. It's my favorite still. I've added others that I enjoy but man, Sterek is HOME.

I may have unhealthy and parasocial feelings for the masked vocalist of my favorite band, but there is just something about the way the man walks on stage.

I love watching the gifs on my top pinned post.

Today I worked through managing the tags I brought over from LJ and have added since using DW. It's something that's been on my list of things to do for years and now, I'm finally working on it. Mainly because I'm using this blog more (so far, who knows as my track record isn't great) and because I want to bring some posts from one of my wordpress/tumblr blogs. I needed to clean up my tags because so many of them were used one time and never again. It's not absolutely finished, but I've got them below 1k, which is amazing.

Another thing on my list was removing the extra posts that happened because I used the import option 2x because I think I had posted to LJ after importing the first time and maybe the second time? It's probably in a post somewhere from then explaining but I'm lazy and need to go to bed soon. It just means that there's a whole bunch of posts spanning five (?) years that were triplicated. Oops.
