bellAlso: I'm struggling to reply to comments. Sorry ♥ I'll keep trying!
- I'm coming up on 3 years as a shelver at the library. Pros: I love the work. Everyday is an alphanumerical puzzle I solve using my body. I barely have to talk (though still more than I prefer). My branch has nice people. Cons: it's part-time, my Union is in cahoots with The Machine, and I'm tearing my body apart. You will pry this job from me only when I'm incapacitated.
( Herein lies morbid content, including world events, suicide, and death. )
- Is it weird to follow up that with more positive notes? Ah what the heck it's my style. I'm flying out to Japan next week on vacation. I'm going to Chugoku to visit prefectures I've never seen before. I want to learn and vibe and eat. The world's so interesting.
WIPs poll

No, you don't get to ask for any more info, though I have talked about some of them before. The oldest one is about twenty-five; the newest was started for yuletide this year. There are 25 different fandoms involved, which is definitely part of the problem, yes.
