Lots of fun, but my feet hurt;

Neil Gaiman personally gave a shout-out to my personal blog, and I will not let anybody tell me differently;

George R. R. Martin is grand (but did not solve the on-going argument: is Cirsei pronounced seer-see or Ker-Sigh);

siegeofangels is a lovely, wonderful person, and I hope I see her again when I'm not almost running late for something (We found each other because we were both wearing pigtails!);

And zamochit is also a lovely person, but decided to lurk in her room today, which is also good, but means I did not get to see her.

Much more substantial update is on the way.

So, it has been a while since I've updated, and Stuff has Happened.

A week ago Saturday, enemy_anime, xerahanadu, stellar_dust, Roxy, and I ( went to the Baltimore Comic-con. )enemy_anime's portfolio was given to the DC editors-- cross fingers for luck!

Sunday was spent with people who had the mental age of a two-year old. Literally; they were all two-year-olds. I taught my first solo Sunday school class, and I have the pre-schoolers. Aaaaah! Help! Actually, I think I might be perfectly capable of managing two two-year-olds for an hour-- but make it two two-year-olds *and* their mothers, it more than doubles the work. (I should be working up tomorrow's lesson right now, instead of lj'ing. Oops.) Then my little cousins Janna-banana and Samwise the Brave were in town for a funeral, so we went to their grandparents' house to play. (Her Grace the Duchess of Daycare was supposed to be there too, but her brother Anakin¹ was less than two days old at that point, so that family was a bit busy.)

Most of the week was spent getting stellar_dust moved into her new apartment and ready for her new job. (She decided to take frey_at_last and siegeofangels' advice on my poll, and adopted a homeless futon that was on its third owner.) She's mostly moved in (and her apartment is extremely of the awesome) but she's had a bad cold, she hasn't gone grocery shopping yet, her checking account is almost empty, she has to get to work at 8 o'clock every morning, and she won't have internet until ... who knows, they'll call her. So don't expect to see her around much for a bit. Also, her new co-workers apparently spent most of last week reading her lj. Whee!

Today was the ( National Book Festival. )And then we had dinner and went home. The metro was crowded. I'm sleepy.

¹not actually their real names, alas.
